ellajoan Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Does this fragrance oil exist? I don't want a sweet candy orange, dreamsicle, or orange cake. I want an orange that smells like a fresh orange or orange juice without the dreaded burning fuel smell. Any suggestions? Quote
Moonstar Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I use Orange From American Soy Organics. Many on here like Juicy Bits of orange from gen wax, I haven't tried that one. I also love blood orange from CS 2 Quote
WaxingPoetic Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 WSP Blood Orange is perfect, in essential oil form. I accidentally ordered the FO version before, and not so much with that But the EO is perfect 1 Quote

NaughtyNancy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I don't have experience with it in any candles, but I use the orange EO from brambleberry, the "10x" one that is "folded" 10 times, basically just super concentrated, and it's very affordable for an EO. It is REALLY strong, and smells like straight up fresh oranges. It is so strong that I have to be careful when adding it to a batch of solid lotions for my mother and others in the family who like citrus stuff, because if I am trying to make them something a little more complex/nuanced, like a floral with hints of orange and vanilla or something, the orange 10x EO will totally dominate the whole thing if I add even a few drops too much.

Candybee Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I use straight orange from C&S. Recently I tried CS blood orange. Although I love the blood orange it has a completely different scent than a straight orange scent. I like C&S so much as a mixer in my candles I quit looking. Quote

Ive never had any luck with using EO in candles or in tarts. In candles you can barely smell it and citrus EO always had a fuel smell while burning. Considering the cost of Eo and how much you would need, I personally don't think its worth the trouble and cost of not only the Eo but the wax. But you might have different experience + better results that I did. Give it a try and see what you think Let us know how it worked for you. Quote
kandlekrazy Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Satsuma from RE is my favorite without going to essential oils. It's tangerine but really clean and crisp scent that is strong. Quote
strugglebrother Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Fresh Squeezed Oranges from Rustic smells just like it in my opinion. Quote

I have not yet burned it in anything. Re:essential oils. Many are very affordable. The secret to getting throw is to not wick as hot as usual. Lavender 40/42 can smell beautiful in soy wax. Lemongrass can knock your socks off. It takes some out of the box thinking, but it can be done if you're able to find the right wax and Wick combo. 1 Quote

Many of them can give me a "headache" feel to it. So I burn and test a lot before I use them. Haven't burned it yet either Quote
se2653 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I love Orange Peel Cybella from BB in lotion, but haven't tried in in wax yet. Orange is tough, tends to fade in bath an body products, fuel smell sometimes in wax Quote
soshiegirl Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Get yourself some Juicy Bits of Orange from GenWax, it's amazing. I also second Fresh Squeezed Oranges from AromaHaven. Quote
ellajoan Posted March 5, 2018 Author Posted March 5, 2018 Darn it all, I finally got the RE Fresh Squeezed Oranges into wax and waited for the 2 week cure. Test burned it today----aaaaaand the burning fuel smell. Think the sterno warming tins caterers use. Isn't AromaHaven the same as Rustic Escentuals? Quote
