  1. Can you recommend ANY VERY STRONG FOS TO USE WITH MY Reed Diffusers? Okay -- I have tried 40+ fos for my reed diffusers and out of all of them -- only MC Cozy Home and Gain throw really well. Cozy Home is the best by far...the scent lasts 4 months+ and lingers. Why can't I find another FO that does the same thing! I am currently using C&S FOE and need a few FOS that throw well -- can you recommend any fall or spicy scents that throw strong exceptionally well at a mix of 50 FO to 50 FOE? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
  2. For those of you who have tested CS Cinnamons -- which one has the strongest "HOT" throw (I use 4627) -- Cinnamon Styk or Red Hot Cinnamon?
  3. Have you tried 2 83s? How long does it take to get a full melt pool with 2 93s? I was going to start there but thought it may burn too fast? Thanks! MJ
  4. I double wick my 10, 16 or 26 oz apothecary jars that are 4 inches in diameter? I currently use LS Zinc 21 or 23 but wanted to try HTP wicks to see if I increase the hot throw. Can anyone recommend what size HTPs I should use for these jars. I have in stock 83 and 93 -- but should I double wick with something smaller like 52, 62, 73 or are 83 or 93 the right sizes?. Thanks...your input is greatly appreciated! MJ:yay:
  5. Is anyone else overwhelmed by all the apple fo choices -- pie, peel, baked, oak, cobbler, cinnamon etc. etc. ect. I have been using Snowtops Baked Apple and the throw is fabulous but I think my customers are sick of it...it just has not sold well for me the past 2 years. I'm looking for that perfect combination of apples and cinnamon but not too heavy on the bakery note. If you could pick 1 apple fo that throws well...what scent and who's fo would it be?
  6. I'm in search of a strong "straight-up spice" scent -- without any apple, bakery or pumpkin notes in it. I LOVE Yankee's Home Sweet Home or BCN's Harvest BUT am looking for something MUCH STRONGER. Can anyone recommend a to die for spice scent -- maybe a clove, country/grandma's kitchen type spice scent that throws EXTRA STRONG? Thanks!
  7. A customer requested a "run you out to the house" extra strong fall spice type scent (either cinnamon or harvest or pumpkin spice). She owns a large kennel and would like to fill an extra large space with a strong fall type scent -- you know the kind that "run you out of the house". Any recommendations of FOs and suppliers greatly appreciated! I use 4627 and J225!
  8. Can anyone recommend 1 or 2 really strong throwing Christmas "type" FOs for reed diffusers. I used C&S FOE. Most of what I have tried so far is floral or fresh smelling. I would love to try Christmas/Holiday/Bakery scents...any recommendations? Thanks, MJ:cheesy2:
  9. Some FOs just seem to throw like crazy in any wax I try them in. Can anyone recommend other FOs that throw like crazy (extra strong)? Here are a few that have been working great for me in either J-223 or 4630. These scents fill large rooms quickly: Celtic Moonspice (Rustic) Amish Harvest (Peak) Pumpkin Cheesecake (BCS) Buttercream Crunch (WYW)
  10. Thanks for the tip on Celtic Moonspice -- it's exactly what I was looking for. Let me know what you think of the Home Sweet Home from Gena -- I almost ordered it. MJ
  11. I have 3 different size apothecary jars (10, 16 and 26 oz) for my 4627 wax and wondered if I should start with 2 51z or 2 60z, 2 lx24 or 2 cd 18?
  12. I really like Peak's Amish Harvest but I am looking for more of a straight spice type scent -- like Yankee's Home Sweet Home or BCN's Harvest BUT MUCH STRONGER. Thanks!
  13. I'm in search of a VERY STRONG Fall Spice Type FO -- you know the kind of scent that hits you in the face constantly and not one that your nose gets use to! I am a 223 user and could really use any suggestions. I love BCN's Harvest but it just doesn't give you that constant smell I am looking for like BCS's Pumpkin Cheesecake. Thanks!
  14. I like C&S's FOE -- it seems to mix well with my FOs. I have been testing cottage breeze, sandy stones and lemongrass from C&S and so far have been pleased. I also use C&S's reeds. I really wanted a strong fall scent -- so I wil try a sample of Mill Creek's Cinnamon Stick! Thanks for the tip. MJ
  15. I live in Syracuse, NY and have a few cases I could ship you that I am not using. Let me know if you are interested -- mtguard@verizon.net.
