  1. Daystars Southern Cape Jasmine....it smells just like a true gardenia...I have tried so many gardenia scents and when I smell them I am shocked because they smell NOTHING like the flower...I was so happy when I found this fragrance...awesome thrower too...
  2. if it were up to my customers it would be Dickens Christmas...it's my #1 best seller every year My own personal favorite is Christmas Mulberry...it sells well but never beats Dickens ...both are from Lone Star :smiley2:
  3. This wax requires you to heat it to 185 and then add fragrance. If you aren't getting your wax hot enough the fragrance isn't binding well. I heat it even higher for heavy fo's and most vanillas. As far as 12% fo load ? I couldn't afford to stay in business using that much fragrance in every candle, and this wax just doesn't require it. 180 is not hot enough to add fragrance and I am guessing right off that is your problem with cold throw. The fo is not binding as well as it should....that even affects hot throw. Try heating it to 185 and you should see a difference. I never go over 10% fragrance load and my candles are very strong both cold AND hot...most of my oils only require 6-8 % Also......even if seepage doesn't show up right away, it can appear later on when you use too high of a fragrance load or a really heavy oil. My #1 example of a pain in the butt seeper is BCS Banana Nut Bread. It seeps after a while no matter what I do but it's the best out there so I just put up with it This wax does allow you less waiting for candles to cure...but I let ALL of mine cure at least 12 hours before testing. Some throw awesome at that time, some take longer. I like oils that throw in 24-48 hours because I make my candles to order. Years ago I coudn't do that, but now there are plenty of suppliers out there with oils that allow me to do so.. good luck!
  4. LS Candied Yams..I use it and LOVE it! I'm glad I took a chance with it because the description was kind of odd. It turned out to be an awesome thrower and I lit it in less than 24 hrs. It's a great fall fragrance
