8-GRAN-ONES

your store looks wonderful...it sounds like you are having fun..congratulations.. i wish you lots of success...

i am loving a new fo. i have just bought within the last year …called..Sweet Pea & Rhurbarb..that I bought from here...http://soapmakingfragranceoils.com and I think Soapaluza has it too.. it smells delicious..there is no A or D…Soaps like a dream.. the the scent sticks like glue..lovely lovely scent.. and does wonderful in lotions too..

those are cute..

i have never heard of it..but check the fragrance oil finder.. maybe you will have some luck on a supplier for it..

thanks for the reviews.. i use GB 415..with Grapefruit & Mangosteen..I get a really good strong HT..and it is only listed as 2 leaves.. it is the only one you have listed that I have also tested..

i use gb 415.. when i first started making candles..i tried several types of waxes..tried blending..even used a blend with beeswax..and tried every wick out there.. In my experience, i found that, one fragrance may work well in one wax and not the other..it got to be so much trouble, i finally decided on one wax..that at that time was readily available to me..so I started doing all my testing in GB 415..I have went thru dozens of 1 oz. testers (maybe even 100's) searching for fo's that meet my expectations… Believe me you will be disappointed at times that all your testers..were not what you want.. In my wax..i heat to 175-180..pour in my fo. and mix for 3 min…to make sure it is well mixed..(i think this is important)..i pour into my container..when it starts getting little flecks, of soy starting to get slushy..and for good measure..i stir every once in a while, while i am waiting for it to cool down to pour.. Read the threads and posts here that have good feedback for your type of wax..Which fo's they use and throw well in a certain wax.. i know i have several post that i have said, what fo's have worked well for me.. The hardest type of scents for me to find, are fruit type…in my wax for some reason..I get terrible fuel smells..so I am always searching for good fruit scents.. good luck..on your candle making..i will say it is addicting..and i will also say..one thing will lead to another..you will want to make soap, lotions, ect. before long.. you have come to a good place to learn..

your soap are very pretty.. the only VS i used was from BC…in Pink Sugar...in time it turned spotty brown..and morphed the scent.. about TD.. I don't know from my own experience..maybe someone else can give their input.. but to much TD can make your soaps chalky? I use TD in some of mine....diluted/in either oil or water/1teasp pp. of soap..that is the highest i have ever used..and i have not seen any negative feel or results in my soap..

i wanted to update..out of 20 samples i bought at their <edited> sale i have test burned…i used 1oz. per lb..used GB 415.. Smell of Christmas..with a 6 day cure..very strong HT..and was quick to be able to smell it after lighting..if right over the candle, i could detect a tiny bit of fuel smell, but only right over it..not anywhere else in the room..i am going to let it cure a few more days and re-burn, maybe the fuel smell will go away..but i would say..as it is only detected right over the candle, it would not stop me from using.. MistleToe Kisses..6 day cure..soft HT..could smell in my living rm. area very well..it is kind of like those drifting scents..not in your face strong..but there.... i really like this one.. Alpine Frost..4 day cure..Good HT..could smell in all my living rm area..and down the hall in a short time..i really do like this pine scent.. More coming as I test...

yes..TSW.. it took a little bit..but knowing, how florals can do..i didn't want to take a chance.. i did note, that my tops were not smooth and creamy looking..so i dusted with some TKB sparkling white.. about the tops..i don't know if, maybe i had used the SB, they might have been smoother.. and my saying they were not smooth..it was kind of like a cornmeal texture..only on top..the cut soap was very smooth.. next time..i try using the SB..but only in quick bursts..

I made this fo, in cp soap..in June..at first I was not so sure if i really liked it.. as I am not a big fan of florals.. But as it cured out..it became nice, soft, and a lovely smelling soap.. it has grew on me, more and more every time i use it.. the scent really sticks well..6 months later.. I only bought a sample..but this is one. I will be buying in a larger amount next time.. Just thought I would pass this info on.. No A or D…i did soap with full water..and used only a hand whisk...

no i have not….who carries it? is it really really sweet? this one your first impression is sweet..and rich

i hope you can find it… i have had other maple type scents..but never really grabbed me..but this one did.. i was reading more of the fine print.. it is distributed by the Tractor Supply Company..in Brentwood Tn. www.tractorsupply.com..made in the USA..

I was in a local tracktor/feed type farm store, this weekend… they had some candles..i got to sniffing.. oh goodness..one called Maple Syrup & Pancakes..i could have turned it up and ate it..it smelled so good..it smelled so good..that I bought it..now I need to find a scent like it if I can.. very very sweet..smelling… the brand is (Red Shed)

beautiful…i need to revisit the using of VS again.. i love PS..but it just turns so dark.. which VS do you use..

i use soy..their creme brûlée..has a strong Ht.. orange peel and cinnamon..is good too. i have not bought these fo's since it has changed hands…but they are supposed to be the same formula..

very pretty..i like them all

i still have a soap bar..made with CS lemon verbena..i have used several bars..they never hurt, or bothered me.. i hate that it is now not skin safe..it was good in soap..

turned out beautiful.. your soaps are always lovely..

if you had not said it was a fast mover..i would never have known...it still looks great..i bet the cut soap will look beautiful..

i love it...

i love Aria by Culti (type) ..i have only used it in bath bombs.. i only bought a sample size…i will buy more..

all are pretty, but i really like that pink and purple…very pretty combo...

i did a long time ago..it was good..i just can't remember any particulars… i only used it for myself..around my home and i kept a spray bottle in my car..

those are very pretty.. i love cool water scent..

your soaps are beautiful.. and the scents sound so good too….
