I was wondering with everyones creative minds if you could throw out some Easter Names for fragrances....some could be cute too. I need them for a small collection of Easter candles I'm making. I saw in another post where someone mentioned Marshmallow Peeps which I'm going to use as one. Scents I am thinking of doing is : 1. Marshmallow blended with pink sugar or vanilla 2. Pineapple cilantro which is a great seller I was thinking of Pineapple Marshmallow Peeps 3. Lemon Cheesecake 4. Daffodil 5. Peach - I was thinking of Sweet Georgia Peach 6. Fresh Rain - I got this from Fillmore - is really nice If you could give me just different names of nice Easter scents I would use a fragrance to fit that name. Thanks for the help! Trappeur

Nice to meet you and welcome Trappeur

I think I would be leaving it as is.... Everyone smells differently and we are all always complaining of no throw in candles....I would much rather have a strong scent than one that isn't and probably most people would think that way. Trappeur

I've never even heard of a mock orange bush..... Trappeur

Check on all the candle sites like Aztec, Flaming, Bittercreek and all the other big supply companies. Do a search here on this forum in the fragrance section and see where we all order fragrances from and then check out those companies. Trappeur

Since your just starting out I would get a sample package of cd's. That is what I use for that wax. Trappeur

Yes, exactly Belinda..... I made up a batch for an account and I had probably 6 different fragrances sitting on top of my stove and also had a batch of odor eliminator made in the mac apple and this scent wiped out all the other scents. You could only smell the mac apple. One of my new accounts is already to place another order as they are selling so well and I just delivered their order to them 2 weeks....so all is good...Would you like me to send you some of it so you can test it out? Can send out on Monday Belinda. Trappeur

The additive works awesome NightLight! I especially love that I can do in any fragrance. You can buy a small amount just like regular oils from Community Candle. If you go to order some, they have some really nice oils that I use from them like Christmas Tree, Chestnuts and Brown Sugar, Lux Linen, Orange Cinnamon and Clove and there are others too. Trappeur

Oh no problem TTayle....there isn't any complications on my part here. I just wasn't getting the answer of the questions I had as everyone just looked at the picture and didn't read that I said the picture was just a picture of my scale and don't use that for getting my answer as I was asking 2 different questions that everyone just didn't really read into. Everyone did the same exact thing....Matter of fact, it's kinda funny that "no one" got it. But hey no biggy...I'm not sweating the small stuff...I finally figured out how to do it when you said to convert to grams. Trappeur

Thanks Night Light! But my scale that one of the board members, Jane gave me years ago works just fine for me. I don't need to get another scale and especially for small accurate measurements as I am not into measuring out in micrometers or teeney weeny scale measurements at all. I know you need a scale like that for soaps, etc and even some people who make candles even work all the way down to teeney weeny measurements. When I make candles I never work like that. I make and pour in 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound, 3/4 pound and full 1 pound increments. I don't futz around with such tiny small increments. Granted, I always have left over wax that I do save but all my saved waxes in these tiny dixie cups I buy go towards topping off candles so it is not gone to waste. But thanks for the info. All I wanted when I started this thread was how much odor eliminator I need per pound of wax when making candles for the accounts that I sell odor eliminator candles to. Now I know the ground basis of what I need. Thanks. Trappeur

Thanks NightLight but if you read my thread you will see that is what I said I was doing.....searching/googlling and that is how I got my answer.

Before going any further in this discussion, let me tell everyone you have not read my thread correctly right from the beginning. Everyone is figuring 1% of the amount that shows in the picture which is 1lb and 8.9 ounces. I asked for help in determining what 1% and what 2% is of in a 1 pound candle (NOT THE 1LB AND 8.9OUNCE CANDLE). I stated right off in the beginning of the thread in the first post that the 1lb and 8.9 ounce was JUST A PICTURE OF WHAT MY SCALE LOOKS LIKE. I wanted everyone to see where my scale shows a decimal point area and I even stated that in my thread. Go back and REREAD my thread...... But no one is answering what I originally asked. I couldn't figure out what percentage of a 1pound candle is and that is what I need. Now from what I have learned EVEN with everyone giving me the WRONG answer is that to figure out this percentage I multiply 1 pound (16ounces) times 1% which is 0.16 IN OUNCES. Now you tell me to convert the ounces to grams which my scale can do but has no decimal on the scale. I googled this and it says 0.16 in OUNCES equals 4.53 grams. Then to figure out how much I need if I go with 2% I multiplied 16ounces by 2% and it comes to 0.0032. Then I googled 0.0032 to convert it to grams and that comes to 9.07 grams So being I have no decimal point that shows in grams I am going with 9 grams of odor eliminator. I'm rounding down as I don't want to add more than what I need in Is this not correct what I am doing? So this is what I have learned. Am I correct in thinking what I have just explained? Trappeur

Yes, as TTayle said....that jar is extremely over wicked. Try starting with a cd 8 and go from there. How is the throw? Burnt smelling? You want especially hang up on the sides to start off. Always wick for the bottom of the jar and go from there. Trappeur

I'll pretend that I never read this post Goldie as you say I need .249oz? lol, lol,......My scale has NO DECIMAL POINTS! So I would not be able to do that....yeah, call me stupid as stupid goes as I really am! Trappeur

Glad someone is laughing as I don't know what in the world I'm doing. lol.....there, now I'm laughing! Trappeur

Ok, I got that right and can understand what your saying. I'm just going to go by what ever you tell me is the correct amount. Trappeur

Oh boy, you are really confusing me here...so this one tells me to set the scale in grams and then now you say to put to ounces? I don't care what to set the scale to as long as I weigh out in the right amount. The only time I see a decimal point is when I set my scale to pound and ounces and that's the only time a decimal point shows up on my scale. Trappeur

I just want to know what amount of odor eliminator I should weigh out. When I make candles I'm not one who futses around with all these little odd ball ounces. I make candles in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full 1ouncers. Trappeur

No forget what you saw on my scale. I was just showing what my scale looks like...that's all..I wanted to show where the decimal points are. Trappeur

Yes, exactly! I want to see what the scale would look like only for the odor elinimator alone....yes, that is what I am asking! Trappeur

Now you are really confusing me Goldie as I have no idea what you are even talking about. Where did 9.1 oz come from? Trappeur

Since there are no decimal points on grams on my scale doesn't that mean the readings that show up would be in full grams? So I could just round off what you said TTayle. For 1% you say I need 7.06 grams of odor eliminator. So I'll just weigh out 7 grams. Then for 2% you say I need 14.12 grams of odor eliminator so I will weigh out 14 grams. That should be ok, right? Trappeur

I wish someone would help me. I set my scale to grams and there is no decimal point on my scale for grams and none for ounces either. This is very aggravating.... Can someone please help me? Trappeur

I don't get it/understand it at all either one of you. Please show me on the scale exactly what you are saying cause I don't get it. Trappeur
