Paintguru Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So a while back I picked up a campfire FO from The Flaming Candle. OOB, it definitely smells smokey like a campfire!! However, it is pretty overpowering, and I've smelled campfire candles before that are overly smokey IMO. Any thoughts on how to tone this down/blend this with something else interesting? I was thinking maybe a fall leaves type FO to hopefully give the smell of burning leaves. Maybe add it to leather and grass for a cowboy type fragrance. Thoughts?

moonshine Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Blend it with marshmallow - that really helps make it more mild and it does tone down once in wax also 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitUp Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Maybe a pine or other wood type smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow mixed with campfire scents smell really good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much and you will get a BBQ smelling candle, if that's not what you want Or try and blend it a bit with something musky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
