    Scented Wax Flakes

    in Wickless

    Posted

    Hi everyone

    Just wondering if any of you had heard of these scented and colored wax flakes that a customer of mine said she saw in a craft show.

    She said that the lady that was selling them had bins full of wax flakes in different colors and fragrances and she scoop them in 2oz. portion cups.

    Does anyone know how to do this.

    Thanks

    BCN Fragrance Review

    in Fragrance Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    Thanks for reviews. It's always nice to hear different opinions on fo/throw/description, etc. I see that you use good, great and awesome. Would you reccomend good? or just great and awesome. Does good signify a "barely there" type scent?

    I am greatful when I see an honest opinion re: a scent that may not throw too well. It's one less for me to buy/try. This way suppliers can get rid of it and make room for something better.

    I found the website at BitterCreek a bit strange:undecided

    I did try a couple of samples of the BNL line (I think this is BCSouth). They smell fabulous oob. They are Cuc Melon and Sweet Pea. I purchased/and am crazy for the BNL Vanilla Sandalwood (Awesome throw). I still have to put the samplers in wax.

    I was thrilled to get the three freebies (1/2 oz samplers). They were 2 holiday scents...Home Sweet Home, Northwood Christmas and also, Lilac.... Still have to make them up.

    I will post results when I do.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Eve

    Hi Eve I am happy to help

    Hi everyone

    I have been making candles since last year and testing quite a bit for months.

    Creme Brulee: It has an AWESOME hot and cold throw used CD20

    Honey Coco Mango: Great hot and cold throw used CD16

    Lavender: Good hot and cold throw used cd16 I might look for another source.

    Love Spell: Good hot and cold throw and used cd16, but I found that NG Loving Spell is has a Fantastic Hot throw.

    Pink Sugar: Great hot and cold throw at cd16

    Sugar Cookie: Great hot and cold throw but not a big seller so I might discontinue.

    Sex on the beach: great hot and cold throw but recently I tested CS brand and it's FANTASTIC
