babudust Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Oh why does toasted marshmallow smell like acetone to me OOB. I've gotten 2 samples from 2 different companies and OOB it smells like pure acetone. What the hell is wrong with my nose?? I'm too scared of putting this fragrance oil in wax. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have not liked anyone's except RE/AH. You may likely have that one. Put it in wax. Although, mine smells so delicious OOB that I use it in lotion and am stopped at work all day by people asking about my "amazing vanilla perfume". One of my Art Directors told me that I always smell like a funnel cake!Now, a LOT of Banana Bread FO's smell like nail polish remover to me OOB.

babudust Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have RE/AH and JS. Maybe my nose is playing tricks on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Funny you post this, I just put Toasted Marshmallow in the burner! I use AH/RE and I love it, OOB and in wax. Everyones nose is different I guess. I recently got some samples from Peak, and my boys said the same thing about the Banana Nut Bread. Well they said it smells like the stuff I use to clean my nails... nail polish remover.Karen- Do you use the lotion base from AH/RE? I'm looking for something to use to put some baskets together for Mothers Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for something to use to put some baskets together for Mothers Day.My lotion base is from Essential Wholesale. I have also added my FO's to any unscented lotion I preferred and it was fine. Since I am my customer and do not sell, I make it fairly non-scientific.

SuzyK Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I really like NG' Toasted Marshmallow. It lasted for several days in my warmer. I was really surprised because it is such a light fragrance but once it cured for a week, it was nice.I think NG's Eggnog smells like nail polish remover out of the box and I almost didn't test it because of that reason. I tried it and the eggnog scent came alive once it was in wax. It's a great scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I LOVE, LOVE LOVE AH's Toasted Marshmallow!! (Karen- thank you to you for recommending this one to me!) I put it in lotion and it smells wonderful- I love vanilla scents, but am picky about them too. I still need to get it in some wax melts, but I love this one in lotion (I use the whipped body frosting recipe in this site's recipe section- wonderful stuff!!)

candlelady Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I love Aztec Internationals Toasted Marshmallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I love Aztec Internationals Toasted Marshmallow.I received a bottle of AH/RE "TM" yesterday and felt it will be a light to medium thrower as expected, but smelled no "acetone" notes. JMO/HTHThanks Suzy for the info on NG "Egg Nog". It's in my shopping cart. I may have not waxed it based on my OOB impression. I have a best buddy, dairy distributor whom I make ""Eggnog candles for as a gift to his customers at Christmas. I'm always looking for the "BEST" out there. That search is eternal. I've been "punching-up" with "spices and rum" the FO I was previously using. "Billy" even gives away a gallon of his "home-brew" eggnog along with the candle that I named "Billy's Eggnog". He's very proud of it. My wife and daughter's love his concoction. I can take it or leave it. The funniest thing, though, is my pal is severely lactose intolerant. Ain't that a hoot?

Do not know your preferred percentage of FO but it is not AT ALL a light thrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Do not know your preferred percentage of FO but it is not AT ALL a light thrower.I'm sorry for my mistake in commenting. I was basing it on what some others have told me about the fragrance and what my impression was OOB.I'll refrain from commenting on throw in future posts, unless I have tested them in wax myself.

justajesuschick Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No comment is a mistake!I was just reassuring you that unless you are really light handed with FO, this one will pleasantly surprise you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 AH's TM runs me out of my tiny little house!! It's soooo strong, but I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) At least three members on "another" board mentioned that a particular "TM" (Not AH/RE) had a throw similar to "Warm Vanilla Sugar" also not from AH/RE.I'm a chandler and it surprises me that I can sell "WVS" candles based on what I feel is a pretty weak throw. I felt that "WVS" is a nice fragrance, but better suited to B&B than wax. PLEASE NOTE: I have only bought "WVS" from one supplier, whom I have now stopped dealing with.I "sniffed" The AH/RE "TM" at about the last position in a list of 25 or so FO's. Several of the ones I had previously smelled in that lot were "really seriously powerful." Not only had I prejudged the fragrance thinking it wouldn't be a strong thrower based on inaccurate data, I had no business posting what I did with a real case of CM nose.I still maintain it was wrong thinking on my part to mention throw. I try never to offer opinions or advice unless I'm comfortable with the subject. It was enough to say that I did not personally detect any "acetone" scent notes OOB.I still think it's hilarious, though, that a "milkman" is lactose intolerant! On this subject, I am an expert. My pal, Billy, once pucked on my dining room table. I had sauteed some shrimp in garlic sauce made with butter rather than olive oil and margarine. It didn't take long!Dave Edited April 11, 2013 by emilyspoppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 We all judge scents on the first smell. I smelled Maui Mtn Pineapple OOB and will never ever ever put it in wax. I almost did once and got talked out of it lol I bet it smells just like Billy's barf..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneypenny Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I so love RE Toasted Marshmallow!!! That is the only one I really liked even oob and I use it all the time by itself and it is wonderful as a mixer! Before discovering this one, I smelled several and I do know what you are talking about with the "acetone" smell. The RE Toasted Marshmallow fo I have been told by my customers and I quote is "lick the walls good"!! Lol!! Dave you are too funny! That is ironic that a milkman would be lactose intolerant! But yes there are some fragrances that I have judged on first sniff and perhaps they would have been great but I just could not get past that first sniff!
