Looks beautiful, awesome flame. Too bad we can only imagine what it smells like!

I haven't used this personally, but you might want to try blending this with a rose scent (plenty of options out there). http://www.saveonscents.com/product_info.php?products_id=202490 Seems like an interesting combo!

Thanks Stella! I did a little perusing and saw that you recommended testing JUST the wick and wax together. I think I am going to do that and pour 4 more candles, 2 double wicked and 2 single wicked. Do you think I should start with CD 20 and 22 for these apothecary jars? Also, does anyone have any starting point wick size recommendations for the double wicked ones (CD)?

The diameter is four inches. Jill, I think I was in such a rush to light it that I forgot to trim the wick to 1/4 inch! I just lit it again about 20 minutes ago (after trimming) and the flame seems to be better. After this burn I will take your and Beth's advice and let it cure for another 3 days and retest. But still, even now, the CT and HT are still very faint. I guess time will tell if the throw gets better. But back to the wick question, for a jar this size, would it make more sense to single or double wick? Thanks for the advice!

Hi all! Made my first candle a few days ago after reading up a ton on this website along with a few books... Poured at 135, 7% blend of CS Blue Spruce and CS Cinnamon Stick (equal parts), 16.5 oz. GB 464 wax, ECO 10 wick. Let it cure for 48 hours and CT wasn't too good. Tested it in 3 hr increments and was not impressed by HT or how it burned. The one thing that I did love was how it set--no frosting and smooth top! Just ordered a CD wick sample and can't wait to keep testing (but going to try only CS Cinnamon Stick this time to keep it simple). Think I am going to double wick...don't want to see a big flame again! Any comments/suggestions?
