Arch Rock Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hi Dee and Kat - Just like any other supplier, there are keepers and duds and so much depends on the wax itself. I use a paraffin container blend. Keeper so far: Sugar Cookie Signature - hands-down THE best Cherry Champagne and Merlot Red Wine by request from a gift shop client Cinnamon Buns - Good for now Cinnamon - Good Not overly impressed with: Amish Harvest - very light Asian Sandalwood and Ancient Incense are too perfumey Cranberry Woods - Too light Home Sweet Home Cinnamon - Too light Iced Cranberry - Very fruity. Might keep it and rename it Fruit Basket or something Twisted Peppermint - Fuel smell but it was my fault for over-wicking the tester. Will probably test again. Winter Dessert - Light but complex. Middle notes of powder with top notes of cherry. Will probably come back to this. Just ordered new samples of: Baby Powder Vanilla Ice Cream Lavender & Sage Pumpkin Cheesecake Bourbon Barrel Frosted Carrot Cake Apple Jack 'n Peel Pumpkin Perfect Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Vanilla Buttercream Crunch Sugar & Spice Brown Sugar & Fig Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you bunches in the oil reviews . I know you will live FB pumpkin pecan Waffle ,super strong & great scent . The sugar cookie you mentioned the best is this by any chance Sugar cookie Royal ? If so it is a moonworks dupe .. Yes very good scent kwim. The cherry champagne sounds very interesting ,will order during Black Friday ,lol along with many more . I highly recommend FB Mulberry to ,awsome strong scent . Great year round scent . Thank you & keep us posted on your new editions after you get these into the wax & oob smell reviews as well 😀 Kat... If your a peppermint fan , definitely check out CWics Peppermint & Cypress ,it's outrageously strong . I also like Aztecs Peppermint swirl ,no fuel on this one to my nose ,very sweet mint .

I've been around, just haven't had much to contribute. And I haven't been buying FO's so I don't want to hear what everyone is loving. I did restock a couple at Candlewic when they had a sale where you get a free bottle. I bought some wax and 2 of my 'must haves'. Pumpkin Chai and Black tea, Orange and Almond. But I didn't buy any new new scents. Yay me! I am bound and determined to use what I have before I buy more. I will probably even forgo the Black Friday sales because I am all stocked up on what I need, plus I have so many FO's I haven't even cracked open yet. (except to sniff of course.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to order CW Frasier fir ,as I am running very low .This one is a must for me during the Winter season ,along with Peppermint & Cypress . The Black tea Orange almond sounds really great .I remember you posting it was a strong one . I have it on my order list as well . I am going to wait on Coastal Kale bc it's a spring summer scent ,have heard great reviews on this one . I think your going need strong determination to stay away from the upcoming Black Friday sales ,some are so good kwim.....Stay Strong !!!! I am planning on Aztecs & Fragrange Buddy bc it's such a good discount on BF sales .I try to stock up on many I use each year during this time . I wanted to ask you about CW regular scents ,not ultimate & bold ,do you have any recommendation for these ? I see many are really low priced for half & lb bottles . I have a interest in some ,just not sure if these are strong as the UB oils . It states to use 3-4% so thinking these are good strong oils ,hope to try a few soon . I noticed the Snickerdoodle is over $37 a lb UB scent ,this would be a good one to choose for the Free pound scent lol....I usually get one of the higher priced ones during this offer . Please lmk if you have any recommendations on CW regular oils at all ? I appreciate it very much, especially fall winter scents . Nice talking to you again always . Kat ... I look forward to the Black tea & orange almond ,sounds yummy . 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would give you the free price on the Snickerdoodle? On one of my orders, the prices for FO's ranged from 13.54 to 17.00. My free one was $14.32. So I'm not sure how they decide which bottle is free. I haven't bought many of the classic scents from CW. Cinnamon was decent, but I use it for a mixer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 @katmeltswax, BTW, I didn't care for the name, Black Tea Orange & Almond, so I call it Tea & Cakes. It has almost the same scent description as FB's Moonworks version of Tea & Cakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure it allows you to pick any scent after you have met the minimum $75 requirement . I remember getting Storm Watch a while back as my freebie & it to is very pricey .I will lyk as soon as I get this order placed . They have 3 new codes at this time ,enter Votelb ,think that's correct at check out for the Free lb. I will double check this too . I am having a hard time deciding on the free one lol...So many I would love to have kwim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, do let me know. I don't need anything else from CW right now. I had to order jars from The Candlemaker's Store so I got a free bottle of Cinnamon & Sugar with $100 order. I do wish they had more free scents to pick from. I also got a lb of their Spiced Pumpkin Latte at the special price of $9.99. If it's the same one I smelled once when I was there, it's not bad. Not as good as RE's Spiced Pumpkin Latte of course. And that's all I got! One of these days, I'm going to order their Bamboo Lime. I smelled that there once too. But not until I deplete some of the bottles I have now. I still have some of their Bamboo Rainforest and it's really good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have some of their Bamboo Rainforest and it's really good too. I wanted to correct my earlier post in the Free lb CW . I just check out & it appears they take the discount off after the cart is loaded . They gave me the medium cost oil free . It was the Black tea orange almond .The Frasier Fir was the highest cost oil of my selections ,love this one . I am guessing they have their own formula calculation on the Free lb offers . I am sure I will love the black tea scent . I passed on Snickerdoodle bc the near $40 a lb is just more than i am willing to pay for a lb of oil kwim, can find a good one from another supplier . Snickerdoodle scents are very plentiful right lol. I look forward to my order & hope I like the free samples as well . Sorry for the misunderstanding ,guess I did not get the Storm Watch free in the past lol .. It's ok bc it is a amazing scent & performance is great in my wax blend for melts . I wish CW had a BF sale ,never have seen one in the past with this supplier . I do love the coupon codes they offer often on free lbs & shipping .
