Tahlula B.

Does anyone use this wax? the parafin? It seems awfully close to say IGI 1343 wax. Does anyone know who manufactures this wax? I cannot even remember what the name of the company is that sells it to HObby Lobby.

So, Robin, you are talking about essential oils and how they are processed?

edit: or, basically, all natural scents - the good stuff and no synthetic? I would love to find info about both.

Very interesting, Robin - where can I read more? I would love to understand more about the fragrance process. I am a total geek like that. The science of candlemaking is so interesting.

What do you mean by concretes and absolutes?

Great! Thank you so much! I am now off to order some samples... actually, I have ordered samples from two other places this morning. Sheeeeesh. I normally won't do this. I have a pretty set amt of oil I pour but some of this is too tempting.

Thanks, everyone. I seriously hate wasting time testing new stuff only to find that it is crap - I already have a thing for good chocolate AND good oils.

Angela, with others do you normally use an ounce?

Her Chai Tea is wonderful!!!!! But, don't be in a hurry - she is a bit slow to ship.

I would like to hear what folks think of the Wick Your Wax or Wax Your Wick, whatever it is, that Bittercreek sells. They are pretty high priced but the descriptions sound unique. Is it worth a shot? How much do you use for your candles? I am only interested in hearing about candles as I don't do anything else. Pillars especially.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried these fragrances in pillars?

Ah, well, not worth my time then. Too bad! Actually, I just really like the name so it isn't like it was something I needed anyway. Thank you for the heads up.

So they throw well? Hot and cold? I really want to try that maduro but they are out.

Please to tell, what is SNC and Little Black Dress? Just the name of the fragrance intriques...

To think I clicked because I was hoping to find an answer as well! I really want a good coconut/tanning oil type fragrance. I think BNL had one that I was going to try but now, well, that isn't possible!

I have been reading back in this section for the last several hours and found a link to Green Leaf Candle - I would like to hear feedback about their fragrance before I jump in and order.

I am looking for unique fragrances - I use a fair amt of Candle Cocoon fragrances and some Peaks as well as an Oregon Trail or so. I ONLY pour candles so I don't really care how things work in anything other than candles...

Any comments?

Herbal Rosemary is a great fragrance.

I use about .3 oz per pound of all the CC fragrances.

I need to attend an event tomorrow and have no packaging for shea butter - does anyone know of something at the local level I could use? Maybe from Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree, WalMart, that sort of place? I need these gifts to look nice and be packaged nicely.

Thanks!

Do you guys use a contract with an actual wholesale account or just the consignment customers? If you use one for wholesale I would love to see some examples.

I am always curious about how other businesses and how they run! Lots of times you find out something you have been doing could be done lots, lots, lots better!
