Joannec Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hello, I was wondering if anyone can offer me some advise please. I am looking for a really good vanilla but all the ones I have tried seem to lose their scent after 1st burn, they don't lose their scent completely it seems to change and lose the sweetness and then just smell like a cheap vanilla candle.Any idea why it is doing this? I have tried bcn, daystar and bw.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacktieaffair Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 How about Vanilla Bean Supreme from Bitter Creek North? I was going to suggest it, and the Very Vanilla from CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

se2653 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What wax are you using? I've used the Buttercream Frosting from daystar in 4633 and it is very strong and long lasting, and the vanilla bean cookies from DS as well. Birthday cake from Peak is also strong and long lasting in 4633- these have been my favorite Vanilla type fo's so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hello,Vanilla bean supreme I can't get as flash point is under 200. I will have a look again at daystar.I use rapeseed wax which is similar to soy. Has anyone else experienced what I mean by the scent changing after the first burn?

blacktieaffair Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Well fiddle ! You can't get the two favorites of mine that I can think of I gotta ask, where do you live ? I'm going to go read up on rapeseed wax. I've never heard of it, but then again, I do everything except candles ! lolEdit : After looking it up, I see that it's a product in the UK. My daughter goes to the University of Kent at Canterbury.. I might see if she can bring me some of it home this Christmas and mess around with it just for kicks and giggles.

Joannec Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes I did originally start out with paraffin but never got it quite right so I now use rapeseed container wax from 4candles, the cold scent throw is really great and hot throw is great too but I am still trying to get wicking right. I just love vanilla, the sweet bakery type but unfortunately I find that they lose the strength after 1st burn and this was not just the rapeseed it happened in paraffin as well, perhaps it's something I am not doing right.
