Has anyone used Moonworks's Earthen Oak?

"Bourbon vanilla liquor aged in an old oak barrel, embodied by cedarwood and patchouli, softened by amber and a touch of sandalwood"

Sounds really nice.

OOOOOOO... that Lavender Honey sounds good. I have Peaks lavender and their Wild Mountain Honey. I think I will try mixing them tog. Can anyone tell me which is the dominate scent off hand? Thanks!

You can smell the honey, but also the lavender comes in also. I would have to say a little more honey. Its a nice relaxing scent.

It does smell great. A different type of lavender scent with the honey in it.

How does this compare to Candleberry's Hot Maple Toddy? A friend keeps asking me if I can make her one like theirs.

Finally burned my Manuka and Lavender this morning. Had a great hot throw--smells fantastic.

I have also wondered about that also, but would it be considered a fire hazard?

You can also buy just the dispensing caps for different sized bottles.

On their message board they said they will be adding new FOs monthly. So I am sure they will have other types also. Great to have another Ohio supplier!

What about Brown Sugar & Oatmeal?

If you are going to make votives you may want to try GB416, I found a link where I get my wax (I use GB415 for containers) that suggest adding 5-10% of the USA (Universal Soy Additive) to the GB16 to make votives and tarts. I have only played around with the 444 a couple of times and could not get it to cool slow enough so it would not leave craters around the wick.

I am sure someone here uses GB416 and can help you further.

Here's the link:

Thanks for the info! I plan of ordering from Elements and Rustic Essential/Aroma Haven soon, so I would give them both a try.

It does sound different, but my mom saw something in a magazine about that scent and thought it would be good. I would think I would like a green, herbal type scent. Will let you know.

Does anyone know who has a great tomato leaf and rhubarb? It sounds like a great combo. Wondering if I could find one that works well in 415.

Or any good tomato leaf and ??? Thought this would be a great summer scent.

I would love to see examples of labels that people have made and are using on there candles.

There are a lot of samples of labels in the Candle Gallery forum.

Wow, Im not a wax drip anymore!!!!

I'm using c-3 and for my last testing which was two weeks ago I used htp 83 and 104, cd 8 and 10, and a simple soy wick from WSP in 8 oz jelly jars. They do smell but not as much as I would like. Am I expecting too much from soy? Will the soy never have a very strong hot throw? Should I maybe try to get some paraffin and do a mixture? I have sample wicks from wickit. A whole series...

I don't use your wax, I use 415, but I think it depends on the FO and the percentage you use along with getting the right wick. As I have found out not all FOs work well in soy, some do great and others aren't as strong. And the cure time is important also. I cure my candles at least 5-7 days before testing. Some that I have poured are still sitting here waiting to be burned.

Received my FOs today. The Meadow smells great oob. I was not sure that i would like it but you can definitely smell the fresh cut grass. Smells great.

Hawaiian Breeze smells great also. I really like the golden rose, smells like an old fashion rose of my grandmothers!

Island girl I have the olive blossom also, I haven't used it yet but smells great oob. Their irish moss is good too, I have poured it but waiting to burn it.

The White pepper and clove just has a spicyness too it and it does have more of a cologne scent, but it just has something that says wow! To me it smells very sophisticated. Their white tea and linen smells great oob also.

Fillmore's star anise is good too, great ht and ct.

Candlebee-glad to know they have it in stock, I haven't had the chance to call them yet this week. I am going to pour it tomorrow or Friday!

I do have to give the candlemakers store very high marks for customer service. I get a lot of stuff from them and they are extremely nice and helpful.

Thanks aviator girl. I also have CMS's apple butter but haven't poured it yet...maybe tomorrow night. The orange vanilla sounds great, I will have to try it.

The Manuka Lavender smells GREAT! You can really smell the honey. Hope it smells even better after 5 days! Cannot wait to burn it...this weekend.

I let the manuka lavender cure at least 4-5 days before test burning it in pure soywax.

Thanks for the tip. Cannot wait to go smell it today! But I will wait to burn it until the weekend.

OK thanks! I will do that.

I got a sample of this last month from Fillmore and it smells great oob. I am going to pour it soon and now I cannot find it on their website. Has anyone ever used this? Or knows if it was discontinued? I hope not because it smells incredible.

I love their Pomegranate Henri Bendel type. It makes my mouth water. I also like their Japanese Pear and Ginseng, it is so clean smelling (I haven't burned it yet...hopefully this week!)

Basil Nectarine, Orange Ginger and White Ginger Spice smell great oob but have not poured any.

Oh and their Spa is nice also. I also use 415.
