Arch Rock Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Can't seem to keep my paws off the testers anytime I place an order. This bad habit is ruining my Christmas budget! Regardless: FB - Mulberry, Lemon Pound Cake, Creamsicle, Citrus Tree, Apples and Peaches - all giving off a fuel smell despite a small tester wick. It's as if all of the fruity smells from FB hate my wax (paraffin container blend)! I'm so disappointed because they took the roof off when I threw them into hot wax. I'm going to start some mixing recipes with these because they're that good. I'm thinking 1:1:1 of FB Lemon Pound Cake, Fillmore Lemon Biscotti and FB Vanilla Ice Cream. Cross your fingers. NG - Black Raspberry Vanilla and Ocean Mist - I used these keepers many years ago but needed to re-test to be sure nothing's changed. Perfect-o. NG Butter Brickel - No HT CW - Maple Butter - Nice, but not strong enough as a stand alone. Good mixer. Also getting fuel smell from Peach & Sweet Berry and Tangerine Peach. Fillmore - Very pleased with this batch of samples English Lavender: Very soapy and not a good fit for my wax but would be great in soaps Warm Apple Pie - Puts Lonestar to shame Iced Lemon Biscotti - Holy Crap. Incredible. Christmas Tree - I know everyone raves about this one but it smells rather one-dimensional to me. Plus, I could have sworn I detected a pee-like after-smell. (Okay, I'll admit it was burning in my bathroom and I haven't cleaned in there for a week or so . . . but still! 🤔) Butterscotch Brulee - Phenomenal. Daffodil - LOVE this. Not your grandmother's daffodil. Woody base notes and herbal mid-notes with very few top notes. Ginger-Nutmeg - My new gingerbread. This has the punch I've been looking for that sweeter blends can't deliver. Overall, a successful round of testers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
