If you have any KY Roasted Coffee, that would be nice. I'm having a cup of Pumpkin Coffee right now.
-
Yep, Day-Star has it. I just found a sample on the classifieds. Yay! Can't wait to get it.
-
Wildfire's Ms. Randy's Vanilla Bean. YUM!
-
Peak's Vanilla Mint...I think it's super strong. I did some votives in 4794 with HTP-41 wicks and the throw was awesome.

I made 3 batches of tarts with the Candle Source wax yesterday...using it for the first time. I like 'em strong, so I maxed out the scent at 8.5%. To make it easier, I just added an oz of FO (Peak White Tea & Ginger, CSource Granny's Zucchini Bread, and CSource J&J Bedtime Bath) to 12 oz of wax. I liked working with the wax, but it was kinda hard to get the tarts out of the molds. Maybe they needed to sit for longer...I don't know. I was able to get a few clamshells and several tarts out of each batch. They seem to have good cold throw. Will wait probably at least a week or so before I test them.
I'm itchin' to make the Black Magic now that I have a sample of that to use up. lol
Oh, and don't get me started on the WF FO. Just get one of each! Fireside Inn is one of my all-time favorites! Also love her Cactus Lime Sugar, Spiced Cranberry, Vanilla Romance, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Tin Star.

Nmhoneybear, there is not a hint of pine in Winter Night; it vaguely reminds me of Celtic Moonspice from AH.
Just sent a response to your PM. :smiley2:
You're going to love Peak's White Tea & Ginger in the Candle Source wax; one of my best sellers!
Thanks, Ravens. Got it!
Mmmm! I love Celtic Moonspice. Think I may pour some tarts in that today as well. I am going to be a tart-pourin' fool today! lol
Me thinks I should have ordered more than one slab of that wax...:rolleyes2
-
If you have Peak's White tea&ginger, you've GOT to try it in this wax. A lady I know called me yesterday and she said she wants 3 pounds of White tea & ginger tarts!
Back to the Candle Source wax...This afternoon I had Winter Night melting; it's such a wonderful fragrance, I think it's perfect for Fall, not just the Winter season... It scented my whole house just great!
Well, better not start my usual babbling; good luck with your new wax and keep us posted :smiley2:
I found a sample of Peak's White Tea & Ginger in my drawer. Yay! That will be my first batch of tarts with the CandleSource wax. Wish I could find the Winter Night on Day-Star's site, though. You've got me intrigued! I will have to keep checking back. I'm curious what's in it. If you're liking it now, I'm suspecting it is not a piney scent. Guess I'll just have to keep my eye out for it...

I just got my Candle Source tart wax! Gonna make some tarts today!
-
I've been using KY tart wax and I guess I need to up the FO as I'm not impressed with 1 oz. pp. I also tried to order some of candlesource wax (pillar/votive) and they are out for another 2-3 weeks.
They said I could use their container blend for tarts....?? Is that so?
Pls. Advise,
Thanks!
Carrie
Carrie, I called Candle Source before I placed my order last week and they said it was the container blend that they use for tarts.
-
I have tried KY parasoy for tarts, still have quite a bit of it left. Tried using 1oz, 1.5 and 2oz. per pound. I just am not crazy about the performance of this wax.
The throw was alright, but the scent didn't seem to last very long at all.
I no longer use it.
My Candle Source tart wax should be here in the next day or so.
-
I either use 1.5 oz or 2 oz per pound when I make tarts with KY's Parasoy...just depends on how I'm feeling at the moment. I like my tarts super strong!
-
Never heard of them, but just checked out their site. On their "About Us" page, they say they provide flavors and fragrances for the food industry.
-
Love them all! Would love to purchase some of those...especially the Old South Pumpkin Pie, if that is from OT.
-
Great prices, fast shipping.
Right now i've loving
Apples & evergreens
pumpkin carrot streusel
Some i've used & thought were great.
christmas rum balls
the great pumpkin
pumpkin vanilla or vanilla pumpkin
Can't do without the cinnamon & sandalwood
relaxation
bs fantasy
One I want to get is the peach cider fo. Man I can't even remember the whole name.
There are alot more I just can't remember them.
You can also do a search on here & get alot more info on the candlesource.
Darn! Now I'm wishing I had gotten a sample of the Apples & Evergreen. I just placed an order the other day and opted out on that one. I did get the Pumpkin Carrot Struesal and Fantasy. And I second the Pumpkin Vanilla and Cinnamon & Sandalwood. Both are awesome. I have to say that the Pumpkin Vanilla is one of my favorite pumpkins (and I have tried a bunch).
-
You can find Sugared spruce at The Candlesource also.
CandleSource's Sugared Spruce is very good.
-
Throws beautifully with most FO. Only "bad" thing about it is that I cannot find it anywhere else, and Oregon is a long way from Texas, LOL HTH
I noticed that they have a new place in Oregon, too. Haven't ordered from them in a long time, but just placed an order the other day to try that tart wax. I was hoping maybe they would ship from there instead of Ohio. I am in New Mexico, so it would be closer. Guess I should have asked when I called about the wax. :rolleyes2 The woman who answered didn't seem very friendly at all, though, and seemed bothered by my call. She was short with me and grumpy. Oh well, maybe she was just having a bad day. Don't know who she was, but I have called there before and spoke to Loren. He was really nice. Nevertheless, I am excited to try that wax!

Vanilla Bean Noel ~ the best out there
Apple Mango Tango
This Old House ~ perfect for this time of year!
-
Lonestar has a nice one.
-
Okay, I just ordered a slab of the container wax from Candle Source for making tarts. I called and asked them which wax they used for their tarts since I could not find it stated anywhere on their site. I wanted to make sure that I got the right one! Someone said on this thread that they used the pillar & votive wax for tarts, but I wanted to double check. I will post my results after I test this wax out!
-
Tennessee Candle Supply has it. Yum!
-
I saw Twilight Woods at Bath & Body Works. I fell in love with it, and my daughter said it is her best friend's favorite. They are 13, so it may be a good one for teenagers. I have a sample from NG, but not sure how close it is to the original.
-
Lonestar has one, I think.
-
Sounds like I'm ordering from NG then
Thanks so much
Don't forget the Toffee Apple Crunch, if you haven't tried it already!
-
Oh, no! Now I am worried about getting my order and I can't even remember what I ordered. lol
Sure do wish I ordered the Jack-O-Lantern, though.
Need to blend Pumpkin Souffle

Pumpkin Praline does sound good!
What about a straight cheesecake? I've done a Pumpkin Apple Butter before. That was yummy! I think it was Candle Source's Apple Butter. Also, I love patchouli and have some Pumpkin Patchouli from JS. That stuff is to-die-for!
