  1. Any luck on a strong coffee scent?  What I’m looking for is just a straight coffee scent. Everything I’m finding is like a latte or a mocha or something along those lines. I want just a straight coffee scent. Anybody have any luck finding one?

    Did anyone have known any FO that with true black coffee?

    I tried some from NS and CS, they smells little bit sweet to me.

    I was just going to ask this exact question! I have been looking for a street coffee sent to use as a blender and so far everything I have found have been very sweet smelling.

    I've used Nag Champa from SaveOnScents and thought it was pretty decent. I like that you can purchase "sniffie" samples from them really cheap, too.

     

    I'm not a fan of patchouli as a stand alone, so I can't assist you there, but if you're not opposed to designer types, Tom Ford Black Orchid Type from The Common Scents is a fabulous, unisex patchouli blend!! I believe SOS may have it as well, but I haven't sampled theirs so I can't review.

     

    I've heard that Fresh Cut Roses from Indigo is really good. I currently have a sample on it's way to me in the mail. ☺️

    I completely forgot about SOS. I think I tried their Nag Champa and found it to be decent as well. I have never ordered from The Common Scents, any other suggestions from there?  I read the description for Fresh Cut Roses, sounds promising. Thank you for your suggestions!

  4. Thank you for your response! Yes it is hard to find something that smells like the real deal. I was in India last year and found some awesome nag Champa incense and of course I can’t get them here LOL. That is actually where I found a new fondness for Rose as well. I hope I can find something kinda close LOL

  5. I have finished making most of my holiday candles and I need to think about next year. I’m looking for a few fragrances and wondering if any of you have found suppliers that have these fragrances and absolutely love them! I currently use a paraffin soy blend and have very recently started to experiment with Coconut 82 wax. I would love to hear everyone’s favs!

     

    Nag Champa - I have found a few that are decent but they always seem to be missing something

     

    Neroli - I’ve tried a few but haven’t found one that I Love

     

    Sandalwood Rose - I really like the one from Pure Fragrance oils but wondering if there is one that’s even better

     

    Patchouli (or a Patchouli blend) - haven’t found one that I like yet

     

    Teakwood - Every time I ask about this one I get recommendations of Indonesian Teak.  Those is smells great, it is as far as from the smell of real teakwood as you can get.  It smells very powdery where Teak is a deep woodsy scent. 


    Oud - I have spent much time is SE Asia and they burn Oud wood in the temples and smells amazing 

     

    Rose - I was never a huge rose fan but have learned to really appreciate it. Looking for something that smells fresh and amazing not heavy and old ladyish.

     

    looking forward to hearing some great suggestions. Thank you in advance!

     

     

  6. So far I have loved the oil’s that I’ve tried from them. I ordered the orange you sweet based on recommendations and it has a great cold throw. Unfortunately, for me in my parasoy wax It has a strong fuel smell like kerosene (like a few citrus scents do). I was really hoping that it had an amazing fragrance hot as it does cold. Other than that I have really loved their  oils.

    You might have to blend to get what you want. Maybe take ylang and Tuberose to round it out.

    That’s a good suggestion maybe that’s when I will have to do. Do you know who has a good tuberose?

  8. Hello!   I have asked this question before but thought I would ask again just to see if anyone has come across anything new. Does anyone know who has a killer Ylang Ylang that has a good heart throw in Parasoy?  I have tried a couple but they smelled very synthetic.  Open to other florals, woodsy, or incense type fragrances that you love as well!

    Did you find it was too light straight out of the bottle, or too light in candle throw?

     

    Sorry it was too light, that sucks! I think I have it easy making mostly solid lotion/perfume, yall seem to go through some craziness trying to find good candle throw FO. 

    Out of bottles they were all great! It was a hot throw that was light. Yeah, getting a good hot throw can be a challenge. Too bad though I like the scents.

    Flaming candle has a straight jasmine fragrance that is crazy strong. Might give it a try. 

    Funny you should say that because I had ordered a few oils from them and just finally got around to putting them in wax so far loving what I smell 😊. I will definitely check out their Jasmine!  Thank you.
