lightmyfire Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I poured 2 lovely new scents yesterday which I did test before pouring 4 each for a customer. The scents are Lemon Verbena (FC) 8% and Wood Sage and Sea Salt (JS) 8%. I use 11 oz rocks glasses, 6006 and CD8 wicks. Both smelled wonderful when I poured them yesterday but this morning when I went to give them a sniff I can barely smell either one. I do find that the softer scents like the Wood Sage (a sandalwood type scent) like to hide for a while before appearing but I was surprised that the Lemon Verbena is being so shy. I have them covered and I'm playing some smooth jazz to relax them. I'm sort of kidding......I'm hoping the smooth jazz will relax me. I've been up since 4:30 making inventory for a customer before I head off to work 😅 Am I jumping the gun on worrying about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’m no expert, but I recently poured some 8oz tins that had almost no scent once the wax cooled. The scent got stronger every day for several days. It too three or four days before it was strong enough to tell the different scents apart.

TallTayl Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 You could be nose blind this morning. Cover them and allow time to cure. Lemon verbena is pretty powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightmyfire Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the encouragement. I'll let them rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yes, let them sit and cure. Put the lids on the jars too. Lemon Verbena I must make 50 of them every week. It is a strong scent and there is no reason for no throw in that scent. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner14jc Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Curing will definitely help! The length of time needed can vary depending on the wax. I make melts using the Q230 and have to let them cure for over a week to get a good cold throw. Don't give up on them yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellajoan Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have a tea scent that smells of nothing for the first three days, but by day five of a two week cure---POW! Most scents do need that cure time, depending on your wax. 464 needs 10 days to 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Careful, play too much of that smooth jazz, and you might wake to baby Lemon Sage Sea Salt candles everywhere! 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
