Have any of you ever made scoopable wax before? 

If so, what kind of wax & oil are you supposed to use and at what ratios

I know the smell you're talking about and I don't think this is what you're looking for.  I would be more than glad to send you a cotton ball soaked in the oil for you to smell. This is a dupe of the L'Occitane Men's EDT fragrance.  I love and wear the scent all the time.  

 

My husband wants that same "church incense" smell you're talking about.  I think a mix of frankincense, myrrh and some type of softening scent like benzoin, vanilla, mild floral or amber would be a good start.

 

Good luck!

The first time I smelled frankincense EO it reminded me exactly of my childhood memories of going to church. It's the exact scent the priest had in that incense burner he carried

I have a bottle of BeScented Monkey Farts and it has more of a banana smell, similar to Rustic Essential's Monkey.   RE is slightly stronger OTB ... but close to BeScented in the aromabeadsBulk apothecary Monkey smells more pineapple.   I've used it in lotions, aroma beads and a few candles, however, I don't keep this fragrance in my main line (I only have 5 fragrances in main line & 2 holiday candles).  I've compared the two smells and customers like the banana smell better. 

 

I tried the watermelon BeScented Jolly Ranchers.  Smells just like the candy.    I only use it in aroma beads.  It sells okay.

Thank you 😊 

American Soy organics has a different company carrying their oils , American candle supplies 

They have a few oils I've tried that are really good - orange 🍊 

lemon 🍋 cheesecake. They 

have some others I'm curious about and wondered if anyone has tried them . 

Milk and sugar - lavender Sage 

french thyme / grapefruit- Rosemary

I have a sample of strawberry pound cake and it smells good OOB. FB has one too that's great!

Thanks Belinda 😊 As well as can be expected with Covid.

They have one called biscotti and I bet you it's good I'm going to get it. At least it's a fragrance I can fix if it's not good.

It sounds really good !

I have a few bottles from Be Scented and OOB they smell good. I haven't put anything in wax yet though. I plan to place another order with them soon.

Thanks Belinda ! Their fireside marshmallow & cotton candy is supposed to be really good from what Ive read. Hope youve been well

Are you talking about Scentsational Soap Supply?   I've purchased some from there.  My favorite is OMH.   I've gone there as they aren't too far from my home.    I have Black Cherry Merlot  and Thousand Wishes but haven't put them in anything as yet.   Their Fruit Loops is good in soap.   They have some I would like to try.   Sadly, I can't smell anything these days.  Lost my sniffer.  I'm going to where they are on Friday so may stop in with my friend and see what she thinks of some of them. 

 

I've heard of and checked out BeScented but never purchased anything from them.

Yes, thats what I meant, thank you for correcting me. Ive heard that they have a really good Strawberry Poundcake thats a BBW dupe. Thanks again for chiming in

Thank you. I wonder if their 4 pounds for $10 is any good lol that's crazy. 

It's worth a try for $10. I love their bath&body bases as well. 

Anyone ????

I've never ordered from these companies before. If you've ordered any favorites ?

 hi did you like these fragrances that you got? Were they  strong? They sound really good especially that Dole Whip

I did like them. The only one I was so so was Caribbean splash. 

Dole was really good just a small touch of vanilla to make it creamy 

I'm using SoCal to make my daughter a body spray 

Thank you Barbara! 

I just ordered several summer 

scents and I'm excited to get them

a few I recall ordering are 

Lavender sea salt 

beach bum 

Caribbean splash

cocomango  

Beach hair 

SoCal vibes 

Dole Whip 🍍

Pineapple 🍍

Never heard of them Moonstar! Do the oils look good? Like should I google them and take a look? 😂😂

😂Yeah, theres a few that look good. What lead me to that site was I heard that they have a really good Palo Santo. Personally, I know nothing about this FO. How it smells 

etc. Ive been looking for my sister in law who loves that scent. Scentsational soap supply was another one that was mentioned by many. Again, never heard of them either 😂

Anyone ?????

Has anyone ever used Muddy Soap CO FO's ? If so, how are they & which ones have you tried ?

Thank you 😊

Do you find these to have strong sweet/cream notes? I want a great coffee FO but im still searching for that happy medium and I’m nervous I’m either going to get skunky rocket fuel or a sugar bomb. I’ve had my eye on WSP...

No sugar in either of them .

straight up coffee! If you like vanilla hazelnut WSP has a great one . You could even mix in a bit with the espresso? 

Which EO's have you used ? 

I have pretty good results using 

lavender- mint - orange 

lemon 🍋 seems to fade.

Does anyone know where candle makers can get this type of wick to make their own candles?

 

Here's some ribbon wicks

Coral Reef is very similar to Aqua Coraline by Thymes. It’s not what I consider light but it’s not an in your face scent. It’s soft in the same way as Strawberries & Champagne or Beautiful Day...scents like that, the ones that linger in the background and make you think, “what’s that scent?”  I love it.  I don’t really notice the individual notes, but it is an ocean type scent.  Pine Bough & Apple is my 2nd best selling room spray.  The apple is just right to soften the pine. Even people that don’t like pines love this one. 

Which roomspray base do you use

Interested to hear about how a dupe turns out. I have bought Lab and Co and they ARE incredible-but ouch, the price.

And like all FO it is ridiculously hard to know what the scents will be like, and if you will like them, until you get them. But spending so much on a little sample size, makes me inclined NOT to buy much from them. Fyi I also have had some problems w their shipping although they took care of things nicely (once they were finally reachable lol).

edit to add-while I love two of the scents I purchased from them, the others I thought were not my cup of tea. And I have not gotten too much enthusiasm from customers. Will have to check the fragrance boards to see if there are suggestions! 

Which ones received little enthusiasm from customers ? Salt Air + Honeydew sounds really nice as does Grapefruit Gardenia and a few others lol !
