Grani L Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I just reordered Sweet Orange Chili Pepper from NG- I have always got a Fuel smell with this scent. I will test this time in 6006. I had called a candle company and asked this question. They suggested to cut back on the FO. which I done previously to 5%. My question is, is there another scent I could blend with it that could help to anchor it and deter the fuel smell? Thanks.

Jcandleattic Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 A touch of vanilla works for me with most citrus' that give that fuel scent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Would starting at 50% be a good place to start? So 3% vanilla and 3% of the Citrus Scent? - I hope I can get this to throw. Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper is such a beautiful scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLG Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Have you tried another supplier? What I have noticed over the years is that the same fragrance can/does smell significantly different between 2 or 3 different suppliers. For example, I ordered Pink Sugar from NG and reordered it from CS (in order to save shipping cost) and there was a distinct difference between the two. While there was nothing wrong with the CS version, my nose much preferred NG - and quite honestly, it throws better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grani L Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 I will test adding vanilla to anchor the scent, but I will also try another supplier and see if I get better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper is such a beautiful scent.You could, but it may overwhelm the citrus and you will get a lot of vanilla and very little citrus. I usually use my typical 6% and then add about 5-10 drops of vanilla. Sometimes I will do a 5.5% citrus to a .5% vanilla ratio... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 A good, straight orange that I've used for years with no fuel smell is Juicy Bits of Orange from candlemakingsupplies.net (formerly Genwax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I love orange chili pepper but always felt it was heavy on the orange and not enough chili pepper. Wish I could find one thats soap safe and doesn't fade! It smells great in CP for about a month then it fades! Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
