I just mixed some up last night. I used Longwyck's "Snowstorm" (spearmint) and Farmhouse's "Hot Cocoa". I poured it 50/50. It smells just like Andes Candies or Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. The cold throw is great; waiting to cure before I test the hot throw. I'll keep everyone posted.

Just wondering if anyone orders from Mill Creek. I'm looking to order some great throwers for soy. I use ky125 and ky pillar/votive. Hoping to get some suggestions about what to order. Thanks.
-
What would everyone mix with Spearment? I'm kinda lost for ideas. The only thing I can come up with is chocolate. Any good ideas? Thanks.

Cinnamon Toast Southern Vanilla Pumpkin Pie - I added a little Homemade Apple Pie to this Lemon Pound Cake a combo of Vermont Maple Syrup & Carmel Pecan Pie Cider Barrel (have to test yet - I smell mostly cedar OOB, hoping to smell more apple in wax)
-
For containers I use KY125, and I also use KY pillar/votive wax. I love them both.
-
My vote goes to KY. Snowtop's is a great one too, but IMHO KY's is better. I use KY125 and KY pillar/votive.
-
This doesn't have to do with samples, but Snowtop is having a sale and it's a 6% sale. That means, on a bottle of fo that $16, you only save 96 cents. I know that it's better than nothing, but how can you call that a sale? Snowtop never gives free samples.

I vote for KY (Kentucky Candle Wax Supply). I love all of their fo's and I even use their wax (ky125 for containers) (ky pillar/votive blend). Customer service is the best. I can't say enough good things about this supplier.

I love Ky oils; for purple I would suggest: Angelina Cleopatra Fresh Lilac Moonlight Magic Mulberry Plumeria Raspberry Blossom Vineyard Muscadine There's probably more, I would take a look at www.kycandlewaxsupply.com for scent descriptions.

Just wondering if anyone uses IGI 6006 wax. I'm thinking about ordering a slab to test. I'm also looking compatible fo's to go with the wax. I checked out Candlescience . . . any feedback on their fo's with 6006? Thanks.

I only have htp wicks . . . maybe I should try an htp 126.

I'm making a 16oz mason jar candle using KY125. I know there are many others using KY125, so I'm hoping to get some good direction regarding a wick size for a 16oz mason jar. (I plan on using KY's Pumpkin Pie fo.) Can anyone tell me what wick size I should start testing with? I was thinking about an htp1212 or 1312. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate help. Thanks so much.

Looking for stronger throw for some oils
Candlebuddy replied to JustJackie's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I use Green Apple from Snowtop . . . I've tried a few others, but this one is hard to beat! -
Snowtop has an awesome Orange Chiffon Cake as well!
-
Looking for some wick size suggestions for votives. I'm using KY pillar/votive soy wax. I'm also using fo's like Apple Pie, Christmas Splendor, Banana Pudding, Christmas Eve, & Spearment at 9%. All advice is really appreciated. Thanks.

ICS was going to discontinue their Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I emailed them yesterday and they said that they have decided to continue carrying it. Hurray!!! Thank you ICS!!!

I use Hot Coco from Farmhouse. It truly smells like the real thing. Very strong in soy; I use KY125. When I visited my mother-in-law last night, she had a tart going, the smell of Hot Cocoa went throughout her apartment; kitchen, living room, hallways, bathroom and bedroom. It was really great!
-
You should check out Just Scent; they have quite a few: Christmas Cabernet, Merlot, Mulled Wine, Muscadine, and Vineyard. I think there's a sale going on now.
-
Longwyck's has an awesome Sugar Cookie too. Farmhouse's Cookies & Cream is great. I use Snowtop's Creamy Coconut Pie as my Sugar Cookie, I don't smell any coconut in it, to me (and my customers) it smells like a buttery vanilla cookie - it's a best seller for me. I use KY123 and KY votive/pillar.

Daystar is having a sale. Also her sample packs are very reasonable . . . 5 (2oz) fo's for $15.
-
Candles and Supplies is have a hugh sale on fo's. They have about 3 pages of scents (16oz size) that are on sale for $9.99. Any suggestions on good ones? I think their scents are pretty hit or miss, but if something is on sale that's really good, I want to try it. I use KY125. Hoping for some help.

Snowtop has a great one.
-
I've been testing BNB's recently . . . my favorite is JS. However, Tri-state, ICS, and Cajun are awesome too. The reason I picked JS is because you smell a more pronounced banana scent. Hope that makes sense!

Farmhouse - really great!
