country bee Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We all know it's a sales pitch,but whats your thought on what percentage of fo would be actual triple scented .I figured about 36%.lol:drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 LOL I LOVE the ole " Triple Scented" schlep. Triple scented can be 1 oz LOL ... if they are going off of putting 1/3 an ounce in something LOL.Or it could be a triple layed different scent candle LOLI can't answer your question, but it did give me a good laugh LOL Thanks !

ChandlerWicks Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've seen that alot on websites. I've also read the industry standard is 2 or 3%, so they could mean triple scented is either 6 or 9%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbowers8403 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I hate this tagline. People have asked me "is yours triple scented?" then I have to go into the explanation of wax and fo's. I guess by "standards" mine would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Add 1/3 & stir, add 1/3 & stir, add 1/3 & stir.... there ya go, triple scented!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I laugh when I see that used on sites too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Personally I love this question. While I think it is just a ploy to make people think "theirs" is better than yours...When asked this (or heck, any question at all), I take the chance to educate our customers... after all, an educated customer is a happy customer is a return customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) A few girls were ohhing and ahhing over a dipped bear I'd brought in, asking me how I'd done it ect... I tried to give a general explination.. And one girl says, " so, I could just melt my yankee candle and dip one" No matter how I tried to explain/educate they were not getting it..I finally gave up and said > no, I melt my wax from scratch and then I "triple scent" them.... Finally a light bulb went off and she was like > " ohhhh, so how much are they?" lol....So the phrase did come in handy even though I cringed using it...lol Edited December 3, 2012 by Ivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would say " Triple is the standard but I always add more than standard just for the extra strong scent I insist on. I'm very picky and have a my FO custom blended. Also use a specially refined blended wax that is made just for my company. " Can you get better than that?

funkymonkey66 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I say Triple scented, whatever, and I'll continue to market it that way as long as I'm up against imported under-scented and candles. Sales pitches are sales pitches, same deal with soy propaganda and all natural essential oils like fruit loops and such. At the end of the day 99% of the customer base does not care in the least. Proof is in the finished product and they just want a strong authentic smelling candle product. They're never as passionate as we are about all that goes into it and most don't want the science or current standards thanks to microcrystaline waxes.

country bee Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I agree with the passionate as we are,so true.AS long as it scents good thats all they care about and the price.I hate people at the farmers market where I sell,they sell their tarts 3 -1 ounce tarts for $1.00.How are they making any kind of profit?

HorseScentS Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I know, it is kinda boring lately!Where the heck did Horsescents go? We miss you!!!!!!:laugh2:Here I am!

ChandlerWicks Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Good! & when they do that I'm running! Horses are skeery! :laugh2:Here I am! And "triple scented" is when all three horses flare their nostrils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandiDecora Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Right now I'm getting 6-8 hours of scent per tart. I'm working on blends to aim for at least 24 hours of scent throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OldGlory Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have candlemaker's nose, so I'm not able to judge for myself - but have any of you compared for yourselves the tarts from the big names that are supposed to last 24 to the tarts you make? Buy a clean laundry scent or a birthday cake scent - something that you also make - and do a side by side comparison before you reach for a goal that might be a hoax. (Yes, I'm a big skeptic of claims being made about how long a scent lasts, and I really wish I could judge for myself, LOL!) Wonder how long I would have to go without fragrances to be able to smell things again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I test my tarts against all the top brands and at the farmers market ,I buy test mine against them too.I want to know for sure That mine are better or not.So far I have not been disappointed at all.But I started that way back when and it really helped me alot.
