Anybody mix CS Very Vanilla with CS Hazelnut Coffee? %?

[angellie5]

I made some candles last week with 50/50 CS Very Vanilla and Hazelnut Coffee and the vanilla was too overpowering and I got very little coffee. Was going to try 25/75 tonight, but wanted to check if I should go even less on the vanilla. A splash? Or leave the Hazelnut Coffee alone LOL? TIA!

HC alone. Use the VV for another blend! HC is sweet enough IMHO. Too sweet and it takes away the realism of the scent.

Ditto ! I think there's a hint of Vanilla in the HC anyway so I've never mixed it... Plus, I just love my VV SOOOO much, I'm hard pressed to add it to anything LOL

I agree! If anything, the CS HC could use a tiny bit more coffee scent in it because it's already very sweet and creamy.

Try mocha

Something else you might could try is to add a little almond fragrance. It will heighten the coffee scent and add a note reminiscent to biscottis and other baked coffeeshop goodies.

I mix in CS Vanilla Hazelnut with CS Hazelnut Coffee and imo it makes a nice rich creamy scent. I started doing it this year and since then have sold much more than I did when using HC by itself.

To my nose it smells of too much coffee and not enough hazelnut but it sure is a great thrower in 6006 wax.

Mocha and almond are both great ideas..sounds yummm
