@Candybee  I called them awhile ago ago seeing that I couldn't find the cranberry citrus and  I was told it had to do with hazard shipping fees or something like that ?

Do you know if anyone carries one like that. I just loved that one.

I wonder if the coffee could be improved by mixing it with something else? 

I guess you could try  but you might  like it the way it is. We

all smell differently. I prefer flavored  type coffee scents

i love WSP Vanilla Hazelnut 

CS is good too.

Has anyone tried the coffee or creamy chai latte?

I'm not a  fan of the coffee but the 

chai latte is good it's sorta like 

pumpkin soufflé without the pumpkin. To my nose it's not super 

spicy. I loved the cranberry citrus 

but they discontinued it  

the cranberry plum is nice too 

Nutmeg & Ginger  (strong)

Christmas Tree  ( very nice )

Iced Lemon  Biscotti  ( delicious)

Pumpkin Soufflé 

Warn Apple Pie 

 Cedar  Garland  

Orange  Pekoe Tea  not super strong but very realistic 

Following this because I too love the Snuggly Sweater from Chesapeake. I just can't my finger on what notes I'm picking up.They actually have quite a few nice scents.

Is that another horse scent?

To me it's a softer scent but really 

beautiful IMO. Very balanced.

Just received an order from RE with a free sample of Silent Nite.........OMG, I need a bigger bottle.   Anxious to try it in candles but with only an ounce to play with, I think I wanna put it in some lotion or body scrub...so I can get up close and personal with this neat scent :-)

How would you describe it ?

She states that her wax is an all paraffin blend. Plus her wax is very transparent, which is not possible to get when using soy.

Which paraffin is transparent ?

ive seen several YouTube videos 

on different wax vendors as they 

are referred to and to me the reviewers that make the videos 

seem odd to me. As in they get 

into the wax thing a little too much 

I wish I could remember the one lady's name but geez imo she takes this whole thing a little too 

seriously. I mean we're talking about wax here. She's over the top

and  quite mean. Do people really take it that seriously . Sorry I went 

off track but it's so weird to me .

Yes, they are the 9oz straight wall jars. I am currently using Eco 10's and have had ZERO issues, until this =/ I've only been learning and experimenting since August, but its been morning, noon and night, since I quit my job to stay home with my daughter =) Also, my husband has been helping me nights and weekends. This was actually very first time selling, so I don't have any best sellers yet! But I have about 10 testers between friends, old coworkers and my husbands coworkers as well as many more  (45+) who have done "sniff tests" for us! The favorites seem to be "Sea Salt and Orchid, Egyptian Amber and Indian Sandalwood.

I just wanted to let you know that I just love your logo + labels. Great Job !

EO can be more dangerous than FO if your not educated on its use

if your even thinking about going down this road please research it thoroughly- plus cats are very sensitive to many EO's

 

to get a good throw using EO it's not cost effective imo and then you could be at the usage rates that are not recommended for safety Guidelines 

an oil diffuser would be better if your wanting to disperse Eo In the air but again be careful

 

and yes what they mean is don't dump a whole bottle of FO down the drain, dispose of it properly 

 

when they say  may cause cancer I am thinking they refer to the oils that contain phthalates which they think could be linked to cancer - there are many FO that do not contain these 

wearing a respirator when making candles is important as your handling the oils in their strongest state - in a finished product the amount released is minute but there are people that are very conscientious about this....so in a nut shell it's your choice FO vs EO but just do your research to make sure your using safe dilution rates of EO- natural isn't always better for you if not used correctly, I have extreme sensitivity to EO now after over exposing myself before I knew what I was doing with them, and I have since dropped using them except on occasion adding a touch to enhance a an FO 

 

there is a lot of good threads in here on EO and safetey you may want to read 

and again this is just my opinion but YL is not a good source of info...any company that tells you it's okay to ingest EO makes me shiver but to each his own 🤷‍♀️

What EO are cats sensitive to ? Ive heard that birds are sensitive to fragrance in general, not sure how true that is. I think I read that here on the forum ? 

Only one on your list Ive tried is Bonfire Bliss - Not really a fan . Like @Lana I don't get all the rave reviews. I don't get any bonfire smell whatsoever. To my nose

I get a tad of sweet and not really sure how to describe it. You might like it though as we all smell fragrance differently. If you like lemon, lemon curd is great.

Have you tried Candle Science 

( CS) they have very good oils.

Yes, Flaming Candle! I do love them, I use all of their oils in my Christmas line. Balsam Fir, Mocha Mint and Home for Christmas are winners!

So the mocha mint is good ,hugh ? Almost any chocolate Ive tried smells weird while burning. Hows the mocha mint in candles or melts ?

Did you end up trying Backwoods Gingerbread Latte, what'd you think ?

I shrink wrap them like I do with all the others. It's not hard, I just need to use my rolled shrink wrap instead of my 6x6 bags because they are too small. 

Where do you get rolled think wrap . Do you mean Glad shrink or ones made specifically for B+B products ?

My sister wear that perfume all the time. Ive used both of these and she said she likes both. I can't vouch personally since Im not a fan of Angel

Well I decided with my 100 jars and tins that needing scrapping from unsuccessful new blends to make fire starters for the first time ever....how fun!!

I found these cute cupcake liners at the grocery store today that go perfect with my brand 

here is a pic - bad lighting but I was in my cave all night doing these 

Pinecones came from my trees and the white pine branches from a tree we cut down...I hope they burn are not too green, never tried this before so I did 2 wicks also just in case 😂

I only make them for myself, but I use cyclo, fractioned coconut oil, and FO.

May I ask what ratios of cyclo and fractionated coconut oil you use. Does the FCO leave the skin oily at all ? This will be for personal + family use.

I also find that women are more concerned with getting men masculine scents. I did not discriminate when divvying out the candles I gave at work, so the men got most of the "feminine" scents, and they could not thank me enough...  

Interesting. What feminine scents specifically did you notice they liked ?

I would love to visit with you both! Let's see, I'm in Texas, Trappeur is in Tennessee? Gail, where are you located? Is there an in between point where we could meet LOL!

Me too ! Sounds like fun ! I myself would insist on Trappeurs place. It looks like heaven, tucked in the woods ---- ahhhhh to escape the city. 

Im wondering if the honey has anything to do with it ? May I ask why you use honey, I would think it would make it sticky.

Sounds like something I would love.  Well since I need some more VBN from WSP, I'll go and get a pound of the Orange Cinnamon Clove.  Hope it's not expensive otherwise I'll be saving just for me.  Thankyou Moonstar!

 

Trappeur

I'll put it in your box . I think it's a 4oz bottle . That way you can see 

for yourself if you like it before ordering a full pound. I'll go look later in my cabinet

Is this for real??? 

YUP !!!  From when I last looked they carry most not all but that could have changed since then. There might be more FO added since then
