  1. It's true that the NCA has done and supported tests. I did not read that as they were knocking soy to vault paraffin. It is time that someone does cut to the chase about the slams that paraffin has endured. For that I applaud them, since most people seem to ignore what the NCA states. Not here to cause an argument over it. We've had extensive arguments on this site alone about it.
  2. It lacks a little bit of spice that cassia might give it. Like the ideas and the names and wish I would have made something fall lol! I'm calling it Night Moves since Rainbow Meadows shows the blend as named lovelight.
  3. No he wouldn't like it, considering I have some sitting here and he doesn't think highly of pot smokers lol. Native princess isn't close to the patch honey she had. Of course that could be a difference of sniffers lol.
  4. Maybe this doesn't count, but Rob was expecting patchouli to smell like weed and though he has smelled patch a ton of times, he still can't get the weed smell to come out. He actually found he likes the smell lol. We are currently arguing about Tin Star. I think it smells just like the perfumy patchouli honey that flickers had. He says it is far from it, so I have settled for calling it a gay cop scent till I don't pick out any more florals.
  5. Unscented baby wipes. Why bother with all that scrubbing and any potential wax film going down the drain? The baby wipes also take any stubborn color out too.
  6. LOL! I sniff it and can only react with mmm, but the sample wouldn't get to you by the time I had to make my labels lol. It's not tropical nor is it overly orange, so that helps no one here does it? I appreciate the help so far though. I may have to do some creative thinking to help describe this scent better.
  7. All essential oils. Contains Sweet orange, patchouli (of course lol), Clary Sage and Ylang. Love to tell you how it smells, but it makes me think of sanguigno orange and patch ... and well it's not a mouthwatering good as that, but this is a nice blend.
  8. IMO it depends on the company. The fragrances marked with both allow a soaper to make that fragrance into a bar of soap and those contain skin safe scent components or amounts that would allow it to be safe for skin applications. Cinnamon comes to mind, because it has a caution on it. The spicier scents can be irritating when on the skin. Some companies may buy a lesser dilution of the scent from their manufacturer.
  9. NG has one, but it's more spicy and warm.
  10. Water won't float. You will see it on the bottom if it is there.
  11. Robert, try waiting to poke your holes for refills when the wax is pliable, but has a thicker than thick skin on it. It's hard to describe it to you, but once you put a hole into the candle, you need to keep it open until you pour your refill. I usually stick a chopstick in, make four holes and each of them I try to widen. When I see the wax plugging the second hole, I just come back about an hour later and reopen it. When I stick the stick in, I move it in a small circle to open up the hole some. I use wick pins, hate messing with stringing wicks and then making sure it's realigned, but then I don't pour solid color pillars. I prefer the stability of the pin. Books that I've read suggest pouring at 10 degrees higher than the initial pour. It allows the wax to spread easier into the vacancies created when the wax cools down. I've poured 20 to 30 degrees hotter with no differences either. I've waited 2-3 hours after my last pour in the mold and made holes too. I find 3 hours is almost a little too long to wait (but it's going to be temp dependent a little bit too as well as size of mold dependent. If the room is too cool, the candle might be set by the time you come back, especially if you pour cool.) I've found that around 2 hours it's about close enough for the holes to remain open, but that isn't always the case. I'd test it out and see what you find works best for you.
  12. As many that have moved throughout the year for us. Not everyone wants only a Christmas choice. Others tend to shop for gifts.
  13. Really sweet! I think I'm partial to the oakmoss and amber
  14. I heard the crops took a bad hit. Now from what I'm not sure, but I believe it was weather related.
  15. Love those lids. First I heard of it was your post so otherwise absolutely no help to ya. I wonder if several aren't homemade scents. Sandalwood and cedar sounds interesting.
  16. Winter party Holiday party Christmas party Office party But that pretty much narrows it down to time specific and worse, I don't know what the stuff smells like.
  17. who took over Southern Soaper fragrances again? Wonder if she stocked the buttermilk and honey (not sure if oatmeal was in it). I wasn't going to worry about it until I ran out of the milk and honey that I have.
  18. Tennessee had their LS on the site. Is there a reason you didn 't want to order it? What they didn't have was the woodland wreath and I wish I had some! Anyone know where to get that?
  19. Now you know as well as I the workshop we had in PA lol. It's those I will be trying to make
  20. You would need to test that, but I believe that DPG is in those fragrances used with the reeds.
  21. The butters will be soothing and somewhat conditioning. Depends on what oils you use, but those will be more emollient. There are essential oils you can use to help sooth eczema, but you'll need to do a search on them. You can get all of the ingredients from places like The Sage, http://www.thesage.com/ as long as they ship to your country. The Herbarie should have all of that as should Lotioncrafter and most cosmetic companies. Hope that helps you!
  22. All kinds of things Eucalyptus Cranberry Lemongrass Patchouli Spearmint Cinnamon Vanilla Sugar cookie lavender Pine of some kind Tea Tree Apple (do a light mix of peppermint with it or it will drown out the apple) Buttercream frosting I'm sure there's plenty more, but they flew out of my mind as a suggestion while typing this.
