Yeah I have dealt with Alpha Aromatics a few times and yes the 25lb. minimum is right.I used to ba able to purchase 5 lbs. at a time with a 1.00 dollar upcharge which wasn't bad, but that ended. I stopped ordering from them a few years back. Lonestar used to be my main supplier but things have changed there as well. It's just hard of a candle maker these days lol.. If you could charge more even with a quality candle but then there is walmart and people will do them just to pay for a cheap candle, gets me...

I have been in the candle business since 1998. Hall Street Candle Company.Let me say right up front. The fragrances now days are not the same as they were then, I used to make 3 wick 20oz. candles that would cover 3000 Sq. feet or more. Now Im lucky if a 3 wick will cover 200 feet. That is because of the fragrance companies i promise, I have tried everything I cab try and just can't get the throw anymore. I have used Grade A , B Neither gives me the results that I am searching for. I used to stand out, I competed with Yahkee, Dreamers and more. I sold to stores, boutiques etc. Believe me I am so frustrated with these companies. I have tried every fragrance place over the years to no avail. Sorry to be bearer of bad news but the true fragrances are gone. I quit for a while from being disgusted with suppliers. But have started back again. I wish all of you good luck, do the best you can , put all you got into it and have fun. If I find a fantastic supplier I will let you all know. Again sorry for bad news, it's a shame. I can list suppliers and there is a bunch. Candlescience is a good supplier The Flaming candle is a good supplier (Best I found so far) Fragrance buddy is a good company. The candle makers store has an article on A grade verses B grade everyone should read. they are a manufacturer of fragrances< Still not what Im looking for.... I just wish it was like it used to be! Do you best is all you can do.... if you want to ask me any questions feel free to at ronaldmcmillan1957@yahoo.com
