    Candybee- thanks so much! I was nervous about what patch fo's would be like. Its nice to know ones that work well. Scents have honestly been what i want to expand on but didn't know where to start. Thanks so much

    Apple harvest from CS is fantastic! it smells very much like a natural apple smell and not "candy". it also has subtle earthy undertone, i really liked it a lot. (sorry saw that you were looking for advice on the scent from Tennessee since you were making an order)

    do you have any other supplies that you know that you need as well? if you needed to order more scents from CS you could get the Free sample again to test. unfortunately i have not used that scent

    thanks! very true i will stick to what i know works for right now and maybe try different ways to increase the scent of my candles.

    Thank you! I have been at a loss on how to blend scents.

    I have been seeing many mentions of the 464, I currently use 444. Does the 464 have better hot throw? I am about to reorder my supplies and notice that I wish my candles had more hot throw ( but sometimes I wonder if I am just nose blind because everyone I have given candles to say they smell fantastic) I am open to other wax options too, I usually buy from CS, the one time I ordered from nature's garden I think I got a bad batch of wax and went back to CS. Thanks

    I know this is an older thread but these were the exact jars I used as wedding favors. I used golden brand 444 and Eco 14 wicks in them and it worked perfectly. No mushrooming on the wicks.

    @moonshine- thanks so much i will for sure try out Fillmore's Christmas tree! i have been nervous about buying an expensive patch essential oil and not have my candles burn right so i have resisted making an order. I did find some patch fragrance oil mixes on Bulk Apothecary that sound interesting. I have had some requests for patch, that is why i asked. I will look at the Witches Brew. (it will take me a while to get all of the abbreviations! i just looked at the list of suppliers and there are way more than i would have ever found on my own)

    How happy am I to have found this thread! I have been looking for new scents! The only scents I like have been ones I have gotten from candle science, although the only exception is grandma's kitchen from natures garden. Here are the ones that I really like... All of these are from candle science 1) apple and maple Bourbon 2) very vanilla 3) Blue Spruce - the best christmas evergreen scent that i have found. 4) blackberry vanilla 5) apple harvest I want to make patchouli candles where have you found good as scents for that? Thanks :-)

    Hi my name is Brigit, I have been making candles for about 2 years now. I am from Massachusetts. Recently I made 100 soy candles as favors for my wedding and everyone has loved them. I decide to start selling them just in small batches and have been having trouble finding groups that have been candle makers / didn't automatically assume that i would be trying to sell my candles to them. I have no intention to sell them on this board. I have been looking for help on tips that others have found helpful along their journey. I hope to also provide some other helpful tips/sources here for other crafters.
