Help! Opinions?Have you tried these JS scents?
WaxingPoetic replied to CyanideNoodles's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Can I butt in & ask you if the Summer Boardwalk really does smell like the Bath & Body Works candle ? I ask because that is my all time favorite candle scent from any retailer, but Bath & Body Works has it a very limited time, plus they keep raising their Candle prices while the quality takes more of a dive each time. i would absolutely love being able to make tarts & candles on my own in that scent ! -

WaxingPoetic replied to CyanideNoodles's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Yes it is -
I really love their oils, & they have great prices & they ship fast some of my my personal favorites are Pink Sugar, Love Spell ( both excellent dupes ! ) Coffee Caramel Cream & Fruit Loops. I know I have more faves but I am not caffeinated enough to remember them at the moment ?

WaxingPoetic replied to CyanideNoodles's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I have Cotton Candy Super Strong & Cotton Candy Frosting. I absolutely love both ? Cotton Candy Super Strong really is super strong, which is nice to have, with Cotton Candy ! Cotton Candy Frosting is delicious ! To be honest, I don't pick up Frosting in it, really...it does have a sweet ' something ' in the background & it smells even more like real, fresh cotton Candy to me than the Super Strong. I get great throw with both, but I mainly make tarts these days, so I add extra oil, lol. I realize that you haven't asked for suggestions, but I noticed that you have a couple of mints & a coconut in there...I do not have those but I do have Coconut Extreme which has been a great coconut for me ! It's true, strong & slightly sweet. And I HAVE to recommend Creme De Menthe ! It is the most sinfully delicious mint I ever tried in my life ? -
Every time I order from Peak I am blown away
WaxingPoetic replied to bfroberts's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Lol @ lumpy bottle ? I think that they still have those....that bubble bath was awesome. Especially the peach & the Vanilla. -

WaxingPoetic replied to bfroberts's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I haven't ordered from Peak since they discontinued palm wax...but the few times I tried an oil from them, I never got a bad one ! I remember getting a sample of a chocolate raspberry truffle ( I think ? I may have gotten the name slightly wrong ) & being particularly blown away by the cold throw, even. Their Orange Chiffon Cake is a great one, if you like that kind of scent And their Blueberry Muffin is the best I've tried so far. -
Need to vent my FO bottles aresplitting
WaxingPoetic replied to kfintoni's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I had no idea that I had to burp my bottles, either, lol. Just one more reason to love this forum & its' members ! There is always something to learn -
Thank you so much, that compliment means a lot to me, coming from someone who makes such beautiful things ! I am definitely doing more this weekend ! These are addictive to make ! I bought some mini ice cube trays at Bed Bath & Beyond to try as molds for the chunks ? Not sure if it will work, but only a few dollars for two trays ( 90 little cubes ) & it will really cut the time down if it works i'll update on that experiment Even if it doesn't, these are so fun, it doesn't feel like work, lol

Uh Oh. Bought a Bunch of FOs at WSP Sale...
WaxingPoetic replied to glasllyn's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Those sound great, you have excellent taste in fragrance, I've noticed ! I was always curious about Raw Sugar & Mint. Loooove WSP's oils. The caramel rum sounds great, too ! I have their Coconut Rum Cake & it is phenomenal ! So if it's anything like that one, you are in for a treat -
Lol it really is ! It is an outstanding blender, too ? I may blend it with JS Creme de Menthe soon !
-
Those sound great !!! I have / love Marshmallow Fluff Spunds like you chose some amazing scents...I will keep some of those in mind for a future order !
-

Ideal temperature when mixing dye and Fragrances
WaxingPoetic replied to Amit's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
This ^ is what I have learned the hard way, too, especially since I tend to use heavy gourmand oils. I also agree with adding the dye when it is still pretty hot. I tend to add mine at around 180, 185. A bit hotter with palm. -
You're welcome ! That's what I've been using, parasoy
-
Thank you ! Yes, it is Rustic's and it is sooo delicious smelling !
-
So I have been playing around with tarts lately and made a fun, summery blend ! It's : 35% JS Cotton Candy Extra Strong 30% JS Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone 30% RS Funnel Cake 5% JS Caramel Apple ( that one is pretty strong ) It smells soooo good, very carnival like. So if you're into that, definitely try this blend ! edited to add : throw is good, too !
-
The Candle Source Blackberry Iced Tea sound awesome btw !
-
Their Fantasy was pretty good though, for a dupe, lol. Their Love Spell & Pink Sugar are both spot on dupes, too !
-
It really is ! A lot of their oils are great !
