Well, it's time to ask the experts again... I am searching for a true Blackberry scent. Not something that smells like Blackberry Pie. If anyone can lead me in the right direction for this, I would greatly appreciate it. (Must have a great throw in soy). I have searched the fragrance finder and there are numerous companies that carry some form of the scent but really curious to know if anyone has a recommendation.

I usually ship all year long, with the exception of a couple of super hot weeks (I am in MO.) When I ship candles, I wrap them in bubblewrap and package them within packing peanuts. An I have sent numerous packages to San Antonio, TX with no problems. The peanuts seem to help keep the candle cooler. HTH

Each of the candles were wrapped in bubble wrap. There were packing peanuts under, between and on top of the candles. It hasn't been that hot yet so I don't understand why they would start to melt.

To those of you who ship candles, please advise. I have a customer in TX that has been purchasing my candles since November. I have always packaged the candles myself and shipped flat rate USPS. However, this last week, of the three candles that I sent to him, two of them were shattered. In addition to this, it seems that the candles started to melt in transportation. (It was all over the box). I use 100% soy in these candles and wonder if as the summer approaches, if I will have a major problem with the issue of melting. It only takes two days to reach him. Needless to say, I don't want to lose his business. Of course, I will repour these and take them to the UPS store to have them package it for me. (which will cost me a fortune). Sorry this is so long, but I hope that those of you who ship candles can offer some of your ideas.

I will give it a few days. If I still not happy with it, I'll reorder from NG. I love their fragrances also.

Isn't 6% the same thing as 1oz per lb?

Just purchased this scent from JS. It has an alcohol smell to it. I decided to make a batch of votives with it using 6%. After removing the votives from the mold, I still can't smell this one. Has anyone else tried this scent from JS. Should I try increasing the amount of oil?
