    I don't know if they'll still offer it, but it used to be that you could e-mail them to tell them what you'd like to order and they could arrange for a Flat Rate box.  You might try that to see if they'll do that for you.  It seems the shopping carts only calculate things one way and it's not always the best!

    Thank you, I'll try that.

    Daystar and Bittercreek

    I noticed Bittercreek is back up and running, but I can't afford the shipping. 3 pounds of oil is costing me $63.88. Not worth it for me. The Pumpkin Creme Brulee was a huge seller for me. Still trying to find that replacement. 

    Back To Testing! Midwest Fragrance

    Due to all the companies caving to WPS I have gone back to testing😡

    The following have been throwing well in my C3 wax. I'm also testing a bunch of Flaming oils as well. Then I have to search for the stables I got from Bittercreek as well.

    MF Strawberry Pound Cake, awesome throw! As well as, Sweater Weather, Bourbon Butterscotch, Sugar Cookie Royal, Iced Vanilla Woods & Cocoa Butter Cashmere.

    @coffeebean In C1, I got an unbelievable throw with Midwest Fragrance's French Toast.  I may have to blend with something as I'm not sure others would like it.  Also good throw with their Cocoa Butter Cashmere, Cranberry & Clove, Strawbery Pound Cake, and Cotton Candy Dreams.  The Cotton Candy was for a special order and now customer doesn't want it.  If you want it, I will send it to you free.  You just pay shipping.  I have quiet a few samples I haven't put in wax yet.

    I did not like the smell of Sweater Weather and many others that were too much like a man's cologne.  What have you found has a good hot throw?

    I totally agree with the Cocoa Butter cashmere and strawberry pound cake. I sell a of her Iced Vanilla Woods. The Pumpkin Pecan Waffles is another good one in C3.

    Hope this is ok for sharing a website and info on a business like this. 

    I've started testing fragrances from Midwest Fragrance (https://midwestfragranceco.com/collections/frontpage) last year.  Have found a number of oils that work with my C-1 soy in wide-mouth pints.  Trying to stay with my Premier wicks so maybe their other fragrances that I passed on would work with another wick.  But I'm also starting to test double wicking with Premier 725 wicks which may be the answer.  It is run by a young couple who have their own candle company as well.  Now they are slowly expanding into a few more items for chandlers.  I like the fact that they have 2 oz. bottles for approximately $2/ounce.  Free shipping on orders over $149.  Once in awhile they have a free shipping deal as well.

    Hope I'm doing this right?

    I too started testing their oils in the last 3 month with C3. I'm having good results with many of them.

    Hello all.  I'm nearly 2 years Into studying and testing and i love loved candle science's smoke and odor eliminator that they discontinued last year. I need to find a dupe because I cant recreate it with the juniper and cinnamon that was suggested please help.  I have animals and this was the only scent that made people ask me did I get rid of the dogs when the enter my place.      

     

    Please help kim

    Same here. I did buy the new one from CS, but it smells like laundry, nothing like the original. People keep asking me for the old one. Have you had any luck?

    You liked the one from JS? I don't think I've used hers but some of her other FO's didn't seem to throw for me. I do love her Cinnamon crunch cake though. I've seen several talk about her pumpkin pie spice but it wouldn't throw for me either. I'm not sure what i"m doing wrong.

    Did you get your other cinnamon in?

    I do love the cinnamon crunch cake as well. I just received re hot cinnamon from NG. I have to test it yet on the hot throw.

    I happened to come across this thread, I have slowly moved away from them over the years because of a few CS issues that I wasn't happy with, but still used their Mistletoe as it is a great seller.  I am assuming that this one is changed also as it says reformulated.  Just realized I am almost out at the worse possible time of year!  Has anyone tried the new version of this or know of anything close to their old one?   I did see that AFI has their dupe of it.

     

    I have used the mistletoe through this season and didn't smell a difference.
