jaybee Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 hi candle husband .....how long are you curing your candles? CBL 130 is part soy.....I try to give them a week to ten days minumum......I've also been having a hard time finding a coffee fragrance that will throw in parasoy so I feel your pain......

jguff330 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I've used hazelnut coffee from candlescience and it has great hot and cold throw in 6006. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisymay66 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I've tried a lot of coffee scents too. They all smell like burnt popcorn to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I love Coffee Ice Cream from JS, Caramel Cinnamon Latte, Starbucks peppermint mocha and Snickers coffee from JS and Bulk. I don't use para/soy and I don't make candles but they're all pretty strong in tarts. From NG I like Snicker doodle latte, From Aztec, French vanilla latte, and ICS has some good coffee scents too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I use a para/soy blend and all the ones Belinda uses from Just Scent and Bulk are wonderful. I also use ICS Coffee Bean (super duper strong so cut back!) and Orange Vanilla Coffee. I also like AH's Butter Rum Cappuccino and Coffee House. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It don't smell like burnt popcorn to you? I've had so many peeps want this scent.. especially this 1 lady who I think messages me several time a week asking about it. I've tried ICS.. and several others.. all I get is burnt popcorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend has been asking for coffee scents since day 1, so she's my go-to Coffee tester and CH is her favorite. She also likes CandleScience Coffee and Hazelnut Coffee. I've sent her a variety of NG (neither of us like them) and also SweetCakes (love the cappuccino scent but can't get a throw from it). Coffee scents tend to smell super fake to me but if I stick to about 6.5% for Coffee House, it is perfect. Adding more brings out the fake smell. I use parasoy pillar wax for melts and I've used a blend of 6006-464 for candles. (Although I mostly make melts) Edited January 5, 2018 by Lana Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried ICS.. and several others.. all I get is burnt popcorn It just smells like black coffee to me. I use it at 7% in 415 and it's one of my best sellers. I've easily sold 1500 of them over the last 11 years. I don't think it smells like burned popcorn, but I will see if I can notice that note next time I pour it. I do happen to like my popcorn a little burned... so there is that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
