I do not know what this scent smells like..but I highly recommend the Pepper and Port from Candle Cocoon. It's a new scent and is skin and soap safe..and does wonderfully in candles and holds well on airfreshener blanks too! I use it in EL Container at 4.5%. It rocks.. I do hope BCN makes it right for you all!

I only choose FO's that will burn well in EL soy the next day..I get A LOT of made to order requests. They of course get better with days..but they MUST throw in 24 hours. Every oil I pour from Candle Cocoon does. I use a few from ICS and Elements as well.

I mix CC's Lemon Blossom and Vanilla Voodoo with several other scents and each other.

Cd(n)'s, used to use HTP's have also used Cotton and Paper core and RRD's... In EL Container or Votive. Tested C3 with HTP's and they did fine together..so I'd assume CD(n)'s would be fine in it too. Do they call it CB3 now..is it a slightly different formulation?

I wipe them out with a kitchen towel...I had wick tabs coming undone...never had that before..thought it might be some kind of machine grease/film...so just started the quick wipe...seems to work....haven't had any wick stickers unstick since.

Super cute...you are good...they look so real!

Vanilla~ Vanilla Voodoo at Candle Cocoon.. I don't use a cinnamon anymore.. But I do use Cinnamon Vanilla from Elements. It's a very popular scent this time of year.

Yes, 2 days... So in a week if you are not getting any hot throw..there is a problem somewhere. Either the oil itself, or the process of the candle making... If the wax the OP is using is not throwing anything...something is wrong. It is possible that she's over loading her wax too....that will sometimes be a problem in proper scent throw..in candles more isn't always better.

How come it takes me to my own shopping cart at Amazon... LOL how'd you get that. Um yes pretty brittle wax.. the soft still warm almost set might work..but I'm guessing the "mold" that's on amazon would be the best idea.

And I have never made a candle from paraffin.. But I do believe they need a cure time(or so my paraffin pouring friends tell me)..so I'd guess that any soy with paraffin in it MUST have a cure time.

I beg to differ...I use EL container and Votive...I don't have to cure a single candle a week to get a throw.. I don't chose a FO that won't throw in my waxes in 2 days. I used to use HTP wicks and have switched to CD(N)'s..but I started with cotton and paper core wicks, even played with RRD's in soys. Admittedly, I have not tested any of the soys that have been introduced on the market past C3 when it was brand new.(quite a few years ago) So I have no idea what they all act like. I just speak from over 10 years using EL waxes with nothing added to them for throw help. Just FO...don't even dye them. I use mostly Candle Cocoon Oils at far less a rate than many. I also use several from Element B&B, ICS and even Oregon Trails. Those I use at 6% tops.

You can never judge a FO completely by it's OOB (out of bottle) smell. Most definitely it needs to be put in something to get what it really is supposed to be. um....most of my 1 oz...if I didn't like them...collect dust... LOL Some times I revisit them...and I've changed my mind and like them..

Drop the percent you use of the Lemon Blossom..no need for a lot ...4.5% max even in soy.. I actually pour it at 3% in EL wax. No floral...It's like a lemon drop or lemon head lemon..puckery lemon.

Lemon Blossom from Candle Cocoon.. I love it straight..with her Fairy Dust and Twinkle Toes (grapefruit) and with Vanilla Voodoo for Lemon Creme..with straight Strawberry for Strawberry Lemonade, with straight Blueberry for Blueberry Lemonade..

Interesting ingredients list..I've used them to pour a few samples in..well Dixie portion cups and forgot all about them a year later...Sucked all the scent right out.. LOL That would be cool if these did not.
