boogieluv Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I tested a great FO - its a skin-safe fragrance and on the lighter side - with 4627. Tried adding it at 6, 8 and 10%. 10% definitely had the best cold and hot throw but the scent was still not quite strong enough. I don't want to increase the amount to 12% --don't want to deal with soot and possibly seepage issues-- plus this FO is kinda on the pricey side. I know 4627 doesn't need any additives, but in this case do you think vybar would help? I don't have any on hand and don't want to order it unless I absolutely have to. Any thoughts?

Jcandleattic Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Vybar would most likely inhibit the scent more than add to it. As you said, additives are already in the 4627 wax (including vybar)I know vybar will bind the scent to the wax, but too much will inhibit any kind of throw at all. It's really not needed in that wax. Personally if a scent does not perform well at 6% - I ditch that scent. No sense in making myself crazy trying to make a scent perform when it just is not going to. Edited August 25, 2014 by Jcandleattic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogieluv Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks! Agreed. No more obsessing and moving on Will try incorporating this fragrance in tarts instead. Have found that most anything will throw in tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
