  1. I started making fall scents in June so they could get a long cure time before my shows. Now to start on my holiday scents next!
  2. Yes I am using Cuban Tobacco from RE. I use 464 like some of the others here. I had a sample and it was doing decent but had to wick up so I purchased a bigger bottle. Thank you Old Glory- I will definitely try the one from Aztec soon.
  3. I'm testing Tobacco from RE/AH ATM and am a but disappointed. 2week cure and little to no HT. :-( Maybe I need to try Aztec'
  4. Thank you! I added the chalkboard fragrance signs this year. Best thing ever!
  5. I hope your market goes better today. I don't like the rain either for outdoor shows. I'm praying the two I have this fall have good weather.
  6. Thank you Candybee! It was a lot of fun! Glad you did well at yours today. Good luck at this next one. Hope you sell a lot!
  7. Hi There! Yes I did a 2 day show this past weekend here in Atlanta called Summer ICE. It was lots of fun! 2 other candle makers were there as well with really great products too! It was hels in the Georgia Freight Depot. One of the oldest standing building still in Atlanta. This was my first show I was able to ever do in the summer months and so I was able to show my spring and summer line of candles. My husband helped me out as he always does. We did very well not like the holiday shows but still a great show for this time of year. I hope to go back again next year. Preparing for my next show in September now as well the rest of the season. This is my display below. I purchased a new banner and have decided to not show soaps anymore. I love doing them but they are ot a big seller for me. I feel my passion lies with my candles. Our spaces were very small only 6X5 and I purchased and extra half a space above that. Next year I will just stick with the 6X5 though. I found I had too many choices for most people. LOL! Hope you enjoy the pic. ;-)
  8. I'm currently testing CS Sweet Orange & Chili Pepper. (Majorly strong FYI) So in my notes I put down I'm using 2- CD7 but the sticker on the bottom that I also right info on says CD6. Is there a way to tell which wick it is after it's been burned? Or will I need to start over? Any help is appreciated :-)
  9. Sea Salt and Rice Flower (RE/ AH)- has a salty undertone with floral notes.
  10. I renamed mine Pink Sugar Sprinkles but it didnt sell that well for me. It selld better online for me from customers outside of GA.
  11. Wanted to add another twin to the list. Its the bottom one listed in BOLD type.
  12. That's wierd! Because I have this scent and love it! So strong in soy! Hope they're formula hasn't changed.
  13. Anyone try Bergamot Tobacco? I tried it out when it was at MW and was not good in soy. Any reviews for it in soy?
  14. I'm loving anything that sounds upscale. CS has several that I'm testing and have amazing HT!
  15. I'm not getting a very good HT. I would say its light in a medium sized bedroom. Burn is fine.
  16. Blue Spruce FO from Candle Science. I was just specifing what supplier.
  17. I'm so bummed out! I have used this FO in a blend before and it was so strong. Now testing in 464 and it's going horribly. I wonder if the formula changed? I wouldn't think so. How is everyone else's experiwnce with Blue Spruce in soy? I'm going to test Peaks spruce scent next.
  18. What about Tobacco & Bourbon from candlesoylutions. Has anyone smelled this one or tested it out in soy?
  19. I gave several 1ozers to PFO To dupe. Including Harvest Moon and several others from scents that they didnot receive. I emailed them and they did receive them so hopefully they will be duped sometime.
  20. Has anyone duped Suede yet? I have a whole pound. I'd give an ounce to dupe. Anyway- who has the best tobacco FO? I saw a few above I'm gonna check out. Has anyone tried the acorns and black oak in soy yet?
  21. What a great combo Amanda! Thank you as well OldGlory. I wish that someone still sold the Suede FO from MW. I still have a most of a whole bottle and would love to do a scent outta that. I may still but it couldnt carry it long term. What about coriander and tonka from CS. I have a sample. Gonna try it out too.
  22. Has anyone tested Tobacco & Caramel from TFC in soy? I'm looking for a good masculine fragrance that is on the upscale side and having a difficult time finding one that works in 464. Thank for any advice on this or your favorites.
  23. So what exactly is causing the split shipping? I only use them for FO. Is the wax and containers causing the split shipping costs?
