    Like others have said, you need to work with fragrances specifically for soy. I use 100% soy wax from Bluegrass. Their FO's are marvelous in 100% soy. I've also used KY soy and FO's with equally marvelous results. I've used other companies for FOs but they can be hit or miss. The main thing is test, test, test to find the fragrances that work with your particular type of soy wax.

    Wickless Candles

    lisajo replied to kdmorgan's topic in Wickless

    I've been using one on my desk for the longest time (maybe a year now??) with 100% soy. I am getting really sick of lavender now.... The scent just doesn't go away. I thought it would have faded out by now but it hasn't I used an 8oz square mason. Next time (if there is a next time) I want to use a much smaller jar.

    To my nose, Stone Washed Cotton doesn't have a floral note. It's just SUPER strong and clean smelling. It smells absolutely wonderful in CP soap. It's my daughter's favorite. Wood Coffee has awesome cold throw in 100% soy but the hot throw was only fair :undecided It's still a very delicious smelling scent. Black Vetyver Cafe is TDF in CP. Cohere de Vahine (you know what I mean, although I know I'm not spelling it right ) smells light OOB but packs a powerful punch in CP.

    I've used them. They are VERY pretty but you have to use lots to see anything in CP.

    Candlewic's 125 had amazing hot throw @ 24 hours with any FO I put in it but the wicking was a bear to figure out. Whatever you thought would work, didn't. I used all sorts of wicks and wick combinations before I finally said "freak it". I didn't want to do over all my prior testing from my other wax and wicks. I had hoped it would work because of the closeness to me.

    I've been using EL 100% soy for a few years. I started off using the cotton wicks. Major PITA, since only so many suppliers carry them Now, I am gradually moving to HTPs since I can find those more places.

    WSP has one. It feels pretty nice on my skin.

    **falls over from the beauty** gorgeous soapies! I especially love the vanilla rebatch. It is really unique. I can only imagine what it smells like :highfive:

    WSP has a really nice one. Plus, it's on the closeout/discounted page. Warning... gets very dark in HP but smells fab.

    When I did M&P, SFIC was the best for me.

    Scent Works is spot on!

    Just like any other scent suppliers, some of their scents work in soy, some don't. I use 100% EL soy and didn't have success 100% of the time (as to be expected). You can get more information from their message board. I have also found their scents to be DWCP friendly.

    Babassu lathers like a mofo, more than coconut and pko. However, it is costly.

    ICS Coffee Bean works wonderful in DWCP. Sticks forever and a day and maintains that coffee note. It doesn't go 'off' like some coffee scents.

    You really don't have to do anything to it. You can just cut it and use/sell it by the ounce. I've done that and also crumbled some in a CP batch. I've made liquid soap/shampoo with it too. My family loves it as a liquid soap. The color depends on the village that made it. Sometimes, it can be a pale honeyed brown. Other times, it can be very dark, almost black. The smell is a really fresh, clean soapy scent. You can leave it unscented and it's still really nice. I've had some before that really burned my skin. Now, I get mine only from Agbanga and I love it!
