  1. I have a couple of longstanding wholesale accounts that order this many candles a year, but they place their orders around the first of the year with specific dates scattered throughout the year that they want so many candles on this date, so many on this date and so on; so it's manageable. Not the whole thing in less than 2.5 months!

    :

    WOW, You have a "Couple" accounts that order in the 20,000's per year (You mentioned she was asking for 23,500 )?!!?? Did I read that right? If so you are WAY outta my league for sure!

  2. I have never tried the one you are trying to copy in the souffle scent, but I have Daystars Ille Fottaine .. Its A beautiful Fragrance rich but light and fluffy at the same time If that makes sense. I sounds alot like what you are trying to make.Anyone who has smelled it has really liked it. I also have the Pistachio Ice Cream.. its okay,but not like the Ile Fottaine to me. I do have several Ounces of that left, but I dont use it anymore.

    Sorry Im not of much help!

  3. I used to have people ask me if mine were "triple Scented". I wondered About that, what was triple scented?! Then I realized that ALOT of people /companies use .5 oz oil pp..so If I use 1.5 oz of oil with some of my scents, I guess that would be "triple Scented" Huh? lol Customers dont realize thats the norm, as some candle makers act like half the candle is Oil.

    Makes me want to tell people "I can make a candle strong enough with my recommended rate, as they can with there half a bottle of FO".:rolleyes2

  4. Back When I was using 415 I tried about 20 testers of them ..None of the ones I tried threw for me...I think there was one that I could smell slightly.. But I see others raving all the time.. Shes the Only one who carries A Pineapple Orchid Ive been dying to try, so I may have to try there again:)

  5. I havent made pillars in a LONG time. Someone gave me a bag of 1343A so I decided to try and make some for two of my bedrooms here just for looks. The white , brown and blue is scented Be Delicious from The Candle Source and The Pink ones are Pink Sugar from ICS. I admire you pillar makers as these layers took some time.HA glad I only had to make pillars for fun :)

  6. While I live close to CS since moving south and get supplies there, I never used there fragrances in my line yet although I have tested many. I just got the Watermelon (their newest) and MAN oh Man. After several years of searching and testing Ive found it. Many other watermelons threw great ,but where more like candy. But to me this is like Fresh sliced Pink watermelon and In my 464 was STRONG after 24 hours. You gotta try it.:yay:

  7. Retro you had every right to let us know of the issue you encountered with Daystar. I don't have an issue with you telling of your associates situation as well. Just because some have great or awesome experiences that should not deflect your experience with this fo or customer service. We all should be aware of the good and bad with a particular company.

    I think so too. Thats what a discussion board is about. Her experience is her experience, and thats what is posted about(well her and someone else's ). Maybe everyones experience here has been wonderful with DS, Mine has so far ,but just like every business it wont be 100% perfect all the time.If you have something you think may not be right and someone else you know/see has the same problem ...well Id be posting too.

  8. I think your site is very classy and the colors are easy on the eyes..Very pretty.. The graphics are nice..Maybe just moving the words of your picture on of your candles on the front page and put the, below where its only on the purple background would make it easier to read. But otherwise, your site is much nicer than most Ive seen!:)

  9. Oh man , I just got this fragrance. I switched from 415 to GB464 awhile back and made this, couldnt smell a thing. After the reviews I thought maybe some flook happened and made another batch (each batch has several wick sizes to test) and again cant even smell it in my bedroom even. Ive heard it was awesome in soy . so im sad Its not seeming to work out for me no matter how much or less % of oil I use or wick size . man this smells awesome in soap tho and OOb!! Might have to buy some of my 415 just for this:D

  10. True, M&P LLC did not smell so nice, My scrub and "tarts" smelled the most like Hello Sugar. That was the main differents Hello Sugar was slighlly more sweet in the product than my LLC. But still close enough to make me happy :)

    It does smell similar to LLC, but to my nose the B&BW Hello Sugar has a buttered/cake note that LLC is missing.
