I so agree with you. I tried to see when I talked to Diane if she thought it could be a variance in the fragrance oil from one bottle to another and she said it couldn't be that, but I am becoming increasingly convinced that that is the problem. I have been test burning random other of my candles in all other scents that have been made with the same batch of wax, wicks, same amount of fragrance oil, etc. and they are all burning fine. I feel something has changed with those two fragrances. The only other time I have had this happen is with Cajun Candles Patchouli, but I have basically given up on finding a good patchouli. I have yet to find one that burns well or has good scent throw. It may have one, but not the other. Does anyone know of a good true Sandalwood or Patchouli that will burn and have good scent throw?
