Moonstar Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Does anyone have RE Celebrate Christmas Type . I can't believe I forgot to order a sample during their sale. I don't need much, I just want to see if I like it prior to ordering, their shipping is insane for just a sample bottle. If you do let me know how much $ Also, I ordered a 4 oz bottle of their Bonfire Bliss + I don't care for it at all. I used about 1oz to test so I have about 3 oz left. I mention this incase someone wants to trade. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried celebrate Christmas, the only ones I use from them are birthday cake, geranium and blue skies and sea kelp, not sure why....they have great oils maybe I need to clean house and freshen up my line - getting tired of many of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I wasn't real crazy about Bonfire Bliss but I mixed in 25% Toasted Marshmallow and now I like it! So use it up as a mixer for a Holiday scent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrate Christmas is a Yankee dupe . Toasted marshmallow is another one that to me has a weird plastic-y note to it , Im not sold on it. Its very, very sweet . Its nice but don't think Ill be ordering that one again soon. Also, the KY tart + votive wax when melting has a slightly odd smell + congeles ( did I spell that right ?) and it dimples as it sets, which I don't like. I like smooth tops on my wax melts that I pour in portion cups. I was really hoping to like that wax since it was just scoop +melt... oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Lol was it the soy votive pillar blend? I tried that and it smells burnt to me- I thought I was crazy but it smells odd when melting and it carried over into my scents in finished product 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're both crazy lol ! there was definitely a odd smell both while melting the wax + when test burning the wax melts. I guess I have to just mix some waxes like I've been doing. Maybe its an additive they use to turn the wax into those beads ? IDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlesncats Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I have an ounce you can have. Also have Bonfire Bliss-cant get it to throw much. Just pm me an address and I will get Celebrate Christmas in the mail. : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Funny cause Bonfire Bliss is a big seller for me I call it Backyad Bonfire. It has a bit of marshmallow in it so that is the sweet. I also sell a lot of the Smoked Birch but call it Crackling Birch. Weird how some scents sell for some and not for others. I cannot sell Lovespell at all and chocolate is a slow mover for me. I was on the hunt for a good fireplace smell when I came across those two. Karen in MA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmeltswax Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hello & I am a newbie. I was reading your threads & thought I would throw in my few cents worth. I ordered a fragrance called Campfire from The Candlesource &have not put it in the wax yet .I just wanted to say from the sniff this one definitely has a super strong Campfire aroma. I plan to blend a small amount with Aztecs Toasted Marshmallow. I will definitely use more of the marshmallow with just a splash of the Campfire & see what I end up with. I also ordered Fireside from Flaming & excited to test this one as well. I love the campfire & fireplace scents for fall. I feel very blessed to be able to share my wax adventures with the pros on this thread. I have been reading for a long time & decided to join I will definitely stay away from Bonfire Bliss .I miss the sale recently with Rustic . I was disappointed , but seems there is always a sale going on with so many suppliers .I want to try Northstar & Indianna, Thank you for letting me share . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katmeltswax Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Moonstar ,you are right .It is amazing how all our senses differ. I just cannot get that thought of beef jerkey out of my head LMAO . I may just have to give it try eventually. The Celebrate Christmas sounds interesting too. More oil ,more oil ,more oil LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 lol - that's smoked birch that smells like beef jerky not bonfire bliss I am not a fan of bonfire bliss at all either but so many people on here LOVE it so you may want to give it a try and see what you think you may also like sweetcakes woodsmoke - it's very heavy deep fire scent and btw...welcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaches Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I love Celebrate Christmas, it's one of my new favorites. I have soy candles curing still since I let mine cure a long time. But I did use a few melts in palm. The throw was a bit light, but I love the scent. I detest Bonfire Bliss and have never understood how so many people can like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmeltswax Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 You all have me curious with the Celebrate Christmas What are the scent notes ? I am looking for a good scent to call Downtown at Christmas & Christmas Country Store. Any suggestions ? Thank you kindly I have never ordered from Rustic.

I don't get it .... the toasted marshmallow to me is just Ok even after a long cure with my parasoy melts To me, I really detect a light chemical like smell - for lack of a better word. Especially , while melting + I put my nose over the burner . I did order the Frasier Fir from WSP ( Amazing good ) and the Vanilla Bean Noel - equally amazing ! Thanks for posting about the frasier fir ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell cinnamon - some pine + something sweet. OOB seems kinda light to my nose. I much prefer Main Street Christmas... you smell more of the pine plus some sweet notes + seems stronger OOB . Both are nice just depends what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
