I love NG, they are who i buy most of my scents from. I use them for tarts and my wax is c-3

I use LOTS of their oils. For the most part, I've been very pleased with them. There are some, however, that just don't fit the bill and failed miserably at attaining a good scent throw.

Here are three fragrances to avoid:

Georgia Sunrise

Mardi Gras

Butterfly Hugs (this one works well in incense though)

Butterfly Hugs did well for me in C-3 in tarts

My fav is Mrs Claus my NG. Ive tried others but that one smells just like yummy sugar cookies

Boy Next Door- Soca typel- burts

Intrigue- Mandarin Tiki- Ng

Dance- Berry Bewitching Brew- ng

If your looking for fruity, i just poured some from ng that were awesome

bermuda triangle

black cherry bomb

banana kiwi

lemongrass

from bcn i did honey coco mango and it smells yummy, its a perfect tropical scent for out here

FYI: If you have a Bed, Bath & Beyond store near you, they sell the fluted tart molds in the kitchen section. They make a perfect one ounce tart

Thank you for that. I will keep that in mind when we move stateside

So my interest in making the cute bakery molds has peaked. I have been searching on how to make the frosting with wax, i use soy.

When you drizzle on "icing" for like a cinnamon roll, is that all you do, drizzle on the wax? Also one more question, im looking into making the chocolate chip cookies ect,,, But how do you make the chocolate chips brown? Since you would pour one color into the mold, is there a paint to use?

Thank you so much, you ladies have a wealth of info and i love learning!!

I believe it is the 2.5 that hold 1 ounce the other one holds just under an ounce.

Thank you!

Im needing the metal tart molds, individual, like Yankee, that are 1 oz. I got mine last year off ebay, but that seller no longer has any for sale. I have found sizes at bcn and im not sure what one to get. Is the 2.25 or 2.50 the ones that hold 1 oz? Anyone have them? Im looking for exactly 1oz or just over a tad. Any input is appreciated. I will be ordering from bcn since i know they ship to me and i have to order some oils, thanks

The last pound or two of Lick Me All Over from NG that I bought is not acting/smelling like the same FO I've been using for the last few years when it comes to CP. I did a few batches of CP out of a newer bottle bought in October that reeks of chemical and roses even after cure... odd.

Anybody else notice anything different in your CP. I've had one of my wholesale accounts notice it, as well as a few customers so I've pulled it for the moment. In candles it's still fine, so I'm thinking the lye is doing somthing funky to it. Maybe they subbed out something, I don't know.

Of course, nobody at NG answers the damn phone this week either so that doesn't help.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything.

Not an answer to your question, but i had the same problem with them not answering. I stayed up late ( time difference) cause i messed up soemthing on my order and they wouldnt answer their phone, so i emailed, and it was answered that day. hth

well here is my tip

try to label them as soon as you can

I run into I make some up then I do other things go back days later and have a hard time telling which brown tarts are cinnamon buns, rustic woods or so on. When you have all those scents in your house you can get candle makers nose where you can't tell them apart.

I still have a nice group of tarts I can't exactly tell what they are, lol. I end up grouping some up and calling it mystery tarts or something silly like that.

What i do with mine, is i line my counter with foil and each tart batch i make, i write on the foil in front of it and section it off with permanent marker so i always know what kind it is.

I love ng's baked apple pie, super strong!!

I love her oils!!!! I just placed another big order. I havent found one yet that wasnt good.

I use a softer wax, and they do fine all summer. I even ship them from Okinawa to the states and i havent had a problem yet

Hi, i bought come Colombian Coffee fragrance from Bert's, It smells oob, just like fresh strong coffee. I'm wondering what wonderful add ins y'all use with your coffee scents? Thanks

Ditto that. Sweet tooth is nothing special, IMO. I couldn't give it away, same with Amish Quilt.

Avalanche is super strong and a great scent for this time of year. Also candy cane. The best I have tried.

Amish Quilts is an awesome seller for me

Amish Quilt is one of my favs!!!

I only add 1 oz per lb of Berts and i think its fantastic. I use C-3 also

I love the scent of Fresh Linen from Natures's Garden and I make alot of room sprays with it. You could just add a bit of rose fragrance oil with the Fresh Linen scent.

awesome, thank you

CS has a nice Sun Washed Linen scent. Plus they have golden rose and regular (red) rose. Those would smell awesome mixed. But not knowing who her oil supplier(s) are you will have to wing it.

It might help to purchase one of the tarts to get an idea of how the finished fragrance would smell.

BTW-- is it worth the effort and your resources to accommodate this customer? Will she be making orders or just a one time purchase? I hesitate to try something out for a one time buyer. Especially if its only 1-2 tarts. Simply not worth my money and trouble.

Thanks, i will look into those and possibly order from the tart maker who had the scent, her rep isnt very good so im weary. This customer is a loyal one of mine, so it would definitely be worth it for me =0) She had just made a purchase from another wahm and they included the other tart makers tart as a sample, thats how she came accross it. Thank you again!!

i have a customer that is wanting this scent. I did a search and came up with nothing. She had received a sample from another tart maker, so i went to the site and got this description

Rosewater Scented Linen

Signature Blend

Fresh linens on the clothesline spritzed with light rosewater.

Im sure i can make it myself, but the linen fo, is there a bunch of different ones that smell different? If so, who has the best? Same with the rose water. Thank you so much

Why not make your own?

I never thought of that. I only make tarts. Not sure if it would be worth shipping all the supplies here. Is it hard like making a candle?

Our stores on base quit selling tea lights, and i bought them out of the last 6 bags they have. Good for me, terrible for my customers. I wont share lmao.

Is there somewhere i can order tea lights n bulk? I go through 8 a day and i burn everyday! Id also like to supply them to those on island. Thanks!

I have only purchased a few scents from Berts and they are great.They had the best cinnamon vanilla but it has been discontinued and I can not find one even remotely close.The shipping is very quick.

I have to second the cinnamon vanilla, by the time i realized it was awesome, it was too late lmao

oops. i didnt read your last line! Sorry lmao:embarasse
