ellajoan Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) I have been super impressed with Brambleberrry's FO I've tried, but I notice that most of the reviews are from soap or lotion makers. I'd love to hear from Candle-making folks about which BB scents you've tried and your opinions. My favs from there are Grass Stain and Hello Sweet Thang, but I've not tried too many others. These are the ones I'm looking at: Autumn Fig Harvest Blueberry Thyme Cactus Flower Champagne Cocoa Butter Cashmere Electric Lemonade Ginger Ale Jade Lemon Cake Orange Peel Cybilla Vanilla Oak Warm Flannel Let me know which ones of these you've tried, or which others have been successful for you in wax (I use 464). Thanks! Edited May 18, 2018 by ellajoan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sorry @ellajoan, the only FO from BB that I have used in wax is Espresso. It was crazy strong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've only used the lemon verbena yankee type. It is great in 464 at 1 oz p.p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellevan Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I’ve tried out blueberry thyme and cocoa butter cashmere in IGI 4360 and they both have thrown pretty well for me at 6%. I really enjoy cocoa butter cashmere — I’ve noticed a lot of people in the reviews commenting that it smells ‘sexy’ but I get a more warm, sweet and comforting read from it. Some others I’ve tried that aren’t on your list are raspberry jam, rustic woods and rum and Mayan gold. All smell great and throw great. I looove rustic woods and rum. It smells amazing. The only brambleberry scent I haven’t been able to get much of a hot throw from so far has been oatmeal, milk and honey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaughtyNancy Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I have no experience using Brambleberry FO in candles, specifically, but have tried their bergamot black tea in wax melts. I don't know hardly enough about the science behind candle making to know what differences that makes. However, I can say that in the wax melts I tried with it, the throw was decent. I just have a basic wax warmer that plugs into the wall, ceramic and shaped like an owl. Used it with the bergamot black tea wax melts in a bedroom, and about an hour later the aroma was noticeable in the room. That is the only one from brambleberry that I have tried in wax, though. Double checked and the other ones were from different companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I've only ordered the craft beer scents-Pumpkin Lager, Oatmeal Stout , Raspberry Porter and Burnt Sugar, everything was amazing in para-soy candles ! I'm going to try making some MP soaps for fall , so I've been filling up my cart with stuff for the past couple weeks... I just haven't submitted the order yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenni Wix Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I tried their Gingersnap in 444, at 10%, (was the first candle I made) and it had a strong C & H Throw, almost overwhelming. Less would likely suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Good to see there are some people are using in wax. I read somewhere that she had just started to introduce scents for candles shortly after I bought some fragrances that I was hoping to try out in wax. It seemed a short list was published somewhere about what worked in wax, but I cannot remember where I saw it. I just figured most of what I got will become soap and bath bomb stuff. So I find this thread very interesting. I should just get gutsy and make some stuff into tarts maybe. Spellbound, I think she still has it, I believe has been used by others in wax. I think she still carries it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have so much information, tutorials, fragrances oils, etc. I love their site and all they have to offer. I like their fragrance oil options and calculator https://www.brambleberry.com/Pages/Fragrance-Calculator.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura C Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If anyone is interested, Bramble Berry is having a 25 % off sale on all fragrance sampler kits through tomorrow Aug. 23, 2018. I just ordered a soap cutter to use to chop up my wax slabs. And these fragrance oils that were mentioned in this post. Can't wait to test out their scents to see how strong they are.

Laura C Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 This site is so fun & addictive, plus I'm a scent junkie, I'm out of control here... I really need to back away from my laptop and go make some new candles already. LOL! I was suppose to make some early this morning but that's an idea that has come & gone.
