Smelly1 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Has anyone ever gotten a scent that you've ordered before, but then didn't work? One of my most popular scents is Volcano that I was getting from Aztec, and I ordered 2 -32oz bottles during a promotion they had and found it didn't work at all under the exact same circumstances. I called and they said no one else had the same problem. I have tried EVERY variation you can imagine trying to figure it out! I found it works ok in a room spray (I use a base of vodka & water) but the smell disappears within 5 minutes. HELP! I have many requests for this scent, do I dare try ordering it again? Anyone else ever have this kind of thing happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yes, I had same problem with Lavender from a different supplier. Even had a different color but they swore it was exactly same as prior batches. Maybe if it's a new order it has been affected by the Citral shortage.

TallTayl Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 It's possible it was reformulated. Not all suppliers share that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly1 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 What's did you mean by "affected by the Citral shortage"? Haven't heard about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I do mostly candles and have found that some sample scents smelled(throw) better the re-orders.....maybe the samples are stronger to encourage future purchases....I donno.

Jcandleattic Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think Aztec is one of the few suppliers that, on the description, will say if it has been or is going to be reformulated. I don't know - it has happened to me, not very often often though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently Aztec has many scents that have been reformulated,they specify on their site the ones that have been .I have a pound of their Volcano as well.I will put this one in the wax & see if results are different.I know Candlescience Strawberry Shortcake has not been the same for me .I poured a pound of melts & no scent throw .I used the same wax as always ,so definitely think some oils have been reformulated .By the way Welcome to CS.You will love this site for any craft you create ,lots to learn here .I certainly have learned so much here.
