  1. I love candlescience, great oil; however, I do have a dud. Something is wrong with the hydrangea fo. It smells off, I will not put it into wax. I cannot put my finger on it, it just does not smell right. Anyone having problems with hydrangea?

  2. I am looking for a really good, and strong mango for candle making. I am trying the malayan mango from candle cocoon, it smells so good. I just cannot get the throw I am looking for. I am using j223, 7oz Monticiano 2.75 width 3inches deep. I have tried the LOW SMOKE ZINC 25, z44-32-18 with 1oz of fo. It did have a throw but not what am looking for. Now added 1.5oz of fo and using lx 16 wax, I am not liking the throw, think I need to use z51-32-18. I hope this is just a wicking problem. I want to compare this mango to others, any suggestions?

  3. Go my order today. Here we go

    Beach Linen: oob it fresh with citrus notes, i some herbal notes and fresh linen. It smells that like dried clothes on a beach. I love it.

    Caribbean Teakwood: oob Oh my, in love with this one. It is unisex and complex woodsy, tobacco, sweet sandlwood, cannot wait to wax this one.

    Jamaica Me Crazy: oob was not sure at first, so i put a tiny drop on my wrist it growing on me i can smell pineapple, hint of banana and citrus and a right amount of coconut.

    Honeysuckle: oob it is strong, i do not know about this scent. I am not going to be quick to judge it until I put it in wax. I do not like the sweetness of this; however, I am judging it oob. We will see.

  4. I made a candle. Rather i was testing lovely lilac in igi j223 wax. The diameter of the tumbler container is 2.75 inches and holds 4 oz of wax. I added 1 oz of fo to 16oz of wax at 170f, poured at 145f. I used z44-32-18, low smoke zinc 25, and z51-32-18. I let them cure for 6 days ( even though you do not have to wait that long, I just like to wait 6 days.) All three of these wick drowned. I smell really strong ct and ht, it just goes out. The scent is almost too strong. Do I need to use a bigger wick or should I use less fo. Have anyone use candle cocoon lovely lilac. Please help
