CBeardly Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Does anyone know of a replacement for Mad Oil's Powder Puff Girl FO since they discontinued it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What's it smell like? Can you describe it? If I were going to make a scent with that name I would mix a strawberry or berry type with baby powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to describe, but it is powdery with maybe some Sandalwood? This is from the the web site: "This fragrance brings you back to mom's vanity. Trying on her make up, patting your neck with that giant powder puff and wishing you were old enough to wear her grown up perfume. This is a delicate aroma with subtle powder and wood notes."

Moonstar Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Im surprised they discontinued that one. Although Ive never used it before it seems like it was popular . I guess not or they wouldn't have discontinued it. Unless there were a lot of issues with the fragrance. Did you use it in soap or wax ?

Did you use it in soap or wax ? I've only used it in wax so far. I had ordered a pound of just before they discontinued it, thankfully. I'm keeping it all to myself. I love it & don't want to share. They said on the web site it was discontinued due to low sales but I'm quite surprised by that honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I always wondered how their FO's did in wax . Which wax do you use, does it have a good HT ? Thanks for letting me know Ive been wanted to try their Snow Witch and Welcome Home . I have their Vanilla Milk but only used in soap so far.

Candybee Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Peaks has a wonderful Asian Sandalwood and CS has the best powder scent. Very sophisticated and complex and beautiful. Why don't you mix your own vanilla sandalwood and use a little powder in it? YOu might come up with something you like much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arabian Nights is the only one that is just an 'ok' thrower for me. The rest are very good, and I've tried almost all of them since I've been working with Jo to be a wax tester for MO. Snow Witch I have to use .5 oz per lb or else it chokes me it's so strong. Vanilla Milk is strong too, but it's a very vanilla scent. I LOVE Golden Embargo too, but have only used that one in soap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear, thank you for letting me know After the new year Im going to put some of the oils Ive been wanting to try in wax + get some from Mad Oils too. I was afraid they wouldn't work that well in wax though. Im testing 464 but I think Im going to test with different wicks. Im using CD's right now +getting a ton of mushrooming and they get so darn hot. But Im not giving up on them quite yet though. Im also thinking about mixing 464 with palm wax and see how that does. I have ECO wicks to try with the 464 wax - Many on here report good results. So we'll see. Thanks again ! Do you have a all time fav from mad oils for wax - not sure which wax you use.

I only use J50 (now IGI4636) for my containers, and a mix of several others for my pillars, tarts and votives. For votives mostly 4794. I have never gotten into the soy wax craze. I like my paraffin so much better. LOL and I just realized you weren't talking about my favorite wax, but my favorite FO from MO. I would say it would have to be Snow Witch, Vanilla Milk or Golden Embargo, however, I've liked most all I've tried. (which is most they have) Edited December 8, 2016 by Jcandleattic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
