eden botanicals-yum quality oils and great service! edenbotanicals.com

hi leslie, i am certainly not an expert but i have used both eo's and fo's. one is not better than the other. they are both very good for scenting candles. the benefits of using high quality fo's is that they are readily available, easy to use, and come in scents that you cannot duplicate with eo's. using eo's are generally used for their aromatherapy qualities. i have had very good luck with stronger scents such as lavender, patch, geranium, lemongrass etc.. citrus isn't that good. can have a fuel smell or hardly any throw unless anchored with a stronger scent, say, patchouli and orange. if you go the eo route, please read up on the safety and handling of them. if your not getting throw from the candles you have made, it could be the type of wicks your using, testing is fun as well frustrating. hth!!

tlc, i'm green with envy!! your sooo close to the coast! idaho is beautiful but so dry, it sucks all the moisture out of you. i'll send some your way!

hi all, new to the board, i have not made candles in awhile and need advice. making container candles, have used variety of soys but the ones that are closest to me are gw 415 & gw 444. is one better than the other? i have used the search and found alot on the 415 but the 444 was a little confusing with the old & new batch threads. i'm looking to compare hot/cold throw and wicking. thank you!
