This year I'm doing some candles for my daughter's class; here's what the girls want ...
Love Spell
Pink Sugar
Fantasy
Vanilla Lace
Lavender
Strawberry
White Tea & Ginger
Juniper Breeze

Probably. I would guess that if you wick up with Pumpkin Souffle, you would probably also need to wick up when mixing it. It would be best to test the PS and CB mix with the wick you use for PS. Hope this helps.

I've been thinking about mixing chocolate with caramel apple ... my friend makes chocolate covered caramel apples and they smell and taste delicious!
S&S and Brandied Pear sounds very nice, never thought of mixing those two; think I'll make a tester today, thanks for the idea!
-
Bear Claws ... bears live in the woods, maybe something like Sugared Spruce or another woodsy scent
Doggone Delightful ... a beach/ocean scent (my dog loves to run on the beach and play in the water - I like Cactus & Sea Salt)
Berry Berry Bunny - Fresh Picked Strawberries or Champagne & Strawberries
Cotton Tail - Pink Sugar or Lavender Laundry
Chocolate Chip-munk - Turtle Brownies
Monkey Magic/Monkey Madness - Monkey Farts

Thanks so much for all your great ideas ... you guys are awesome!

I've used AH's Birthday Cake and it's awesome in 6006 at 6%. I renamed it Frosted Cookies for the holidays and it sold out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
-
I use alot of CS scents, but the strongest for me are ...
Cranberry Marmalade
Mistletoe
Bayberry
Macintosh
Pumpkin Souffle
Holly Berry
Scotch Pine
Lemon Verbena
Fresh Coffee (a great mixer)
Brandied Pear
Love Spell
Juniper Breeze, Gardenia, Rose, Honeysuckle Jasmine, Plumeria

I've been playing around with CS's Warm Vanilla Sugar trying to come up with some unique and awesome combos.
In the past, I've mixed it with Lemon and also with Peach ... both are very nice, but I'm looking for some new "tried and true" blends. Last night I mixed Bayberry with WVS ... great holiday scent.
Just wondering what you guys mix it with that sells well. TIA.

I use Hot Chocolate from KY and it has an awesome cold and hot throw. Great alone or as a mixer.
-
I used to buy their 50/50, but found that 6006 gave me a better hot throw. As for their fragrance oils, they are pretty hit or miss for me. Some good ones are ...
Snowy Pine
Red Apple
French Apricot
Cinnamon Crunch
Caramel Apple
Cookies and Cream
-
I make them white, pale blue, and for Sun Washed Linen I color it a soft yellow.
-
It doesn't matter where you post, the answer is still the same ... yes.
-
I haven't mixed it with anything ... but now you got me thinking ... maybe
melon (honeydew/cantaloupe)
pear
pina colada
strawberry
ginger peach
angel food cake
creme brulee
buttercream
-
I've used both and I like ME's better. To my nose, the cranberry note is more distinct ... it stands out more.
-
Only mix skin-safe fragrance oils together when using in soap or b&b.

I use the one from The Candle Source, sorry, I should have posted that, it's a great mixer for me. Here's another nice mix ... Pumpkin Souffle (CS) and Spiced Cranberry (I use the one from ME, but you can use the one that you have) ... I call it Holiday Pumpkin.
-
Yes, I've never had a problem.

Adding a bit of Pumpkin Brulee to BW's Honey Gingerbread really kicked it up a notc for me. To a pound of wax I used .1 PB and .9 HG. It still smells like Honey Gingerbread with a little punch to it ... to my nose it's stronger too. I'm even thinking that a ratio of .2 PB to .8 HG might work really well.
I want to add that my Pumpkin Souffle (CS) and Pumpkin Brulee mix is still my best selling pumpkin candle. I use 6006 with 6% fo.

Vanilla Lace (CS) and Lemon Verbena (CS) is a nice mix ... I think I used 50/50 for this combo.
-
Another name for Bayberry is Candleberry ... you could go with that.
Also, the scent description for Boston Tea Party is ... "freshly brewed iced tea with lemon" ... possible names could be ...
Tea with Lemon or Iced Tea with Lemon
Lemon Tea or Iced Lemon Tea

Where are you located, we might be able to point you in the right direction.

For me, "Warm & Cozy" comes to mind.
Balsam & Cedar Dupe?

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't have much luck with the one from LS. I was disappointed because I know many others get great results. I had to cure it for about 2 weeks, and even then, only got a medium hot throw. I use 6006 at 6% with usually a 3-4 day cure.
