Thank you for replying...I had considered different waxes or different lines of candles.

Ok thank you I appreciate the input 😃

Hello everyone...I am making a slow return to candle making after a few years. I have been picking out candle jars and I have three that I would like to offer. My question is, for those of you that carry multiple jars, do you offer all of the styles in all scents? Or do you use the different styles for different lines of fragrances?  I hope this makes sense. They aren't just different sizes. They are different styles as well (completely different jars). I just can't decide which I want to do. Thanks for your opinions! 

I love a lot of the these, but I  am surprised that no one has mentioned Cranberry Marmalade. I love that one and it is a fantastic seller. Amazing throw in my wax which is parasoy. And now I am totally getting in on the Christmas Hearth!!

Toasted Marshmallow from Rustic Escentuals smells more like a straight marshmallow to me. I don't smell anything "toasted" or "toasty" or "burnt".

I have customers who love it and it throws great in 4794 and 6006. 
(I haven't tried RE's new Campfire Marshmallow yet.)

 

There are several Vendors that pop up in a Google Search for "Butter Rum Fragrance oil"

I see a Hot Buttered Rum at Nature's Garden. I've never tried it - but it has some good reviews. NG has had more hits than misses for me so it might be worth a try.
(And the price is reasonable.)

I hope you find one - hot buttered rum Lifesavers were my favorite flavor as a kid - I bet it would be terrific in candles.

I agree completely and I love the RE Toasted Marshmallow. I will probably change the name to Vanilla Marshmallow because that's more what I smell. I am testing it today actually and it has filled the whole upstairs of my house with marshmallow-goodness!! It's a good one.

Its been a couple of years honestly. I am just getting back in to this obsession. However, I don't remember anything burnt. It was very pleasantly spicy; definitely smell the coffee too.  Good and strong! Let me know what you think.

And yes, used in candles with a parasoy blend and CD wicking

I love the Gingerbread Latte from Backwoods!! One of my all time favorites.

Mistletoe from CS and Christmas Splendor from Millcreek sell the best for me. oh and Cranberry Marmalade from CS also sells well.

Are you wanting plain cinnamon or pumpkin? Most of my favorites are blends. ICS Cinnamon Buns is my favorite cinnamon. And AH/RE Pumpkin Creme Brulee is my favorite pumpkin. I am trying some new pumpkins from Backwoods also. I will let you know how they are.

Blueberry Muffins is a BIG seller for me. Also, Spiced Cranberry, Lilac, and Strawberry Jam.

I love Ky's Coconut Cream Pie. It is heaven. Now sold at RE/AH

They are listed as new on the site but I am not sure how new they are...

Very vanilla is fantastic but for a non buttery one, I would suggest Vanilla Extract from BCS.

Can anyone recommend an awesome Apple Cider? I use a parasoy. Most oils seem to work for me. (I have my fingers crossed that this will be at one of my current suppliers LOL)

Check with Fillmore. It is cheaper for me to buy and have them shipped from them than to buy locally. I save a good bit on a larger order. I am going to try those 26 ouncers and see how it goes!

Ok. The Bluegrass oils are starting to appear at Elements. Please give some recommendations on your favorites from them.

Fillmore has a 26 ounce square mason. I currently do the 8 and 16 ounce square masons. Do you think this jar is possible??? Is it too tall and narrow?

I find it helpful to have a notebook and just start brainstorming. Jot down any ideas, no matter how silly or crazy. It helps to get the mind turning and don't stop until you fill a whole page or come up with the perfect thing. It worked for both my candle business and photography business! (Briar Creek Candle Company-which is a combination of two places I have lived, and Dreamlight Photography-which just kinda happened) if you get it narrowed down to a few ideas, come back and share. Maybe we can help! These may be taken but my first ideas would be: Arizona Scent Works or Mamaws Scent Shop (to go along with your other biz) MAke sure to check anything that you choose with the business registries to make sure you are not using someones name

Hahaha. Redneck Scentsy. Love it!!!! $5 is the regular price and the 3 pack and 6 pack prices are regular too. I have the catalog in front of me here

I can join your club!!! I am coming back also. I have only been gone for about a year and a half and I have missed it soooo much.

Would anyone have any idea on how you maight make a mineral shadow in stick form or in a cream base? I love my shimmery cream shadow and would love to make some like it

I will say that I think Scentsy changes up the descriptions of their fragenaces sometimes to throw people off of duplication...there are some that are obvious dupes of something else, but the descriptions are way different.

I have also used it in clamshells with no issues. The tarts are soft but there is no fight to remove them.

I love #2...where did you find that awesome size? I have never seen one that shape and size...I love it.

I use Pappa Shops currently. Very easy to set up.
