Out of the MANY suppliers I have tried, hands down Bramble Berry and Sweetcakes are the strongest! (JMHO)

Ummm...ok, yeah...I am a fragrance ho! It's confirmed....

Can I lick the spoon?? lol 

I did this a long time ago. I remember it was a jelly jar...I poured a couple of different colored layers, and when it start to set up I took a chopstick and swiped up the sides of the glass! It looked really cool!  

Yay, Talltayl!!!! Great choice!

I may not post on here everyday either, but I usually check in on a daily basis! Love my Craftserver family!

I am so sorry to hear this!  She seemed like such a love!

RIP sweet Vicky...

I would love to know, too!  

Nature's Garden Green Apple Explosion is what you want! Yes, it is strong!

LOL! That's just crazy!!!!

Looks like the melt pool is almost the whole jar, too!

Woo Hoo! That's great news!

In the jelly maybe try a 44-28-32z instead of the 44-32-18z  That should work, too!

I'm so glad it's working for you!! I love the zincs; if only we could minimize the mushrooming! lol

Doing good over here, just doing major spring cleaning and organizing...I'm on a rampage! hee hee

Thanks, Bug! 

Anyone?

Is Bugtussle still around? lol

Great reviews, Envy! Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Every Christmas I mix the carmalized pralines with the chocolate fudge and call it Reindeer Farts. I sell a ton of them.

OMG! I bet that smells so delicious!!!!

Thanks, TallTayl!!!!

What an awesome site!!!

I generally make sure I stay around 180-185, same as Belinda. 

I never quite bought that "burning off" story, lol! I'm sure as long as your under 200 you should be fine:) 

I just realized I am using wayyyyy too much FO....I'm gonna have to scale back...lol

I stay away from straight EO's in perfume due to exactly what Tall said...some people can even be prone to having miscarriages, seizures, photosensitivity, etc. Scary stuff!

I stick with just skin safe FO's.

LOL!

I'm going to make some Peach soap now....

Keep me updated!

I'm hoping others will chime in with their experiences on that jar...

I'm so glad I could help you! This forum really is the best, isn't it?

Anyone else want to chime in?

Hmmmm....I'm stumped on that one....I bet it's probably the jar shape..

that's the only thing I can think of...that and candlenose!

The only other thing I would suggest is burning a different scented candle the next day or so to "cleanse" your nose. Or change locations.  Also, if you're testing HT it's best to wait at least a couple of days to cure the paraffin; some say it's not necessary but any cure is IMO better...if I'm testing for HT I usually wait for 3-4 days to make sure. If I'm wick testing I light it up within 2 days. 

Hmmmmmm.....

I'm still thinking the jar shape...

Here ya go, Puma52

Nothing fancy, but mmmmmmm smells so good! 

Added .20grams yellow oxide

and .20g. red oxide

1.8 oz. FO to a 40 oz. batch of oils

Hmmm....could be that jar...

But then again my jellies give a wicked throw...hmmm

I would try putting it in a different room, shutting the door for an hour and then go back and check the HT...

Where are you burning it? Of course if it's in a bathroom the fragrance will be stronger...

Sure ya don't have candlenose?

How much FO did you add?

I always add mine at 180 to make sure the wax and FO incorporates together

Yep, I remember it being 70/30, just couldn't remember which is which
