I've never used it for candles, only soaps and lotion. But yes, you have to use more than usual. There's is just the best version I've ever found, though.

Madina has a spot on Egyptian Musk FO at a very good price. But the fragrance is so light, you have to use a lot of it.

I've used WSP's and SOS's. Both are very close to the original, but I think SOS's is better. It's expensive, though.

I've never used a neutralizer with FBB, but it WILL turn brown with fo's containing vanilla.

How was the soap's lather affected?

Sounds like you went above and beyond, Shawnee. Wow, I just can't imagine people in such an uproar over candles in the first place! Cursing people out??? Just too much!

Wow! Interesting! I've only used it in M&P and in paraffin wax and in both of those it is SUPER strong. So much that I usually have to go with less the standard amount when using that scent.

Well this is good info. If I ever do a fundraiser, I'll be aware of this potential hazard. Perhaps as part of the "lesson learned", next time just include in your literature that the turnaround time is contingent upon receiving funds in by a specified date. Or, if you packaged the orders individually, you could put a little note in each order explaining the delay. It's a lot of trouble to have to go through, but it will ensure your company name is not tarnished. So sorry you had to go through that after all your hard work.

I agree with Maggie. If I didn't get what I paid for, I'd be going to the person that took my money (i.e., the sponsor) not the manufacturer. I'm betting she is putting the blame on you too!

I LOVE the layers on that brown one!!! They all look nice to me, though. Good job!

In terms of FO, I've tried Peak's and Cajun Candle's. Cajun's is really strong and a dead on dupe.

Great swirls! I am in a daze! *faint*

Pretty! Would love to see how that develops over time.

I have used Reynold's Wrap and Sam's Wrap. No problems with either.

I believe rose and vanilla makes the baby powder scent...equal parts of each.
