TallTayl Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This fragrance throws in EVERY wax I’ve tried. When the wicking is right you can clearly smell the icing drizzle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is exciting news since I just got this FO - I'm looking forward to putting it in some wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I had to back off to 5% in C3 for both candles & melts and I used 3% in Glass Glow Palm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 All I can say is this oil is heavenly. No one else comes close to it in my opinion. I use 464 with cd wicks and make candles and melts. Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I made a test candle with this and you didn’t even have to light it. Very strong. I’m not a fan of super bakery scents but this one I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah, where do you get CBL 141 wax ? Is it specificly for melts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it is for pillars and votives, but it makes an excellent tart wax. It can handle a high fragrance load, has a nice opaque appearance, and is nice and hard for shapes or clams. It can get a little bumpy on the surface as it cools, but nowhere near as bad as KY 133. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of great FOs! My favorites include: Voodoo Love - strong patchouli and spices, exotic and sensual Mahogany Spice - woody, warm, masculine but not in a cologne kind of way, hard to describe but a great winter scent when you get tired of bakery and. Christmas 😊 Salt Carvern - salty, dry, hints of citrus, very fresh and clean Coastal Kale - salty sea spray, fresh picked and juiced kale with a squeeze of lemon Buttersotch - crazy strong, very true to the candy @Belinda clued me into this one! Hot Buttered Rum - recommended by @GailC, it is warm, sweet, and subtle, very nice for winter Vanilla Verbena - just like B&BW, I got it for a friend to make soap and lotion with, but it is still very nice in wax. Sweet and green, it reminds me of spring. Those are ones that I order often, but they really have a lot of fabulous fragrances. Their dupes are good, specifically the Van Verb I mentioned above, VS Him, VS Bombshell, and B&BW Moonlight path, I've tried and liked. Stay away from the Spice (it's weird), the Smoked Ginger (gross), and plain Blueberry (weak). HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 @Sarah S, I agree with the Spice. Weird is the only way to describe that scent. I keep wanting the try the Mahogany Spice, but don't know if it will sell. It's different. I recently ordered from CW. Had to restock Pumpkin Chai. That one is a hot seller for my wholesale account @Moonstar and my other customers as well. CW has a lot of good FO's, Apple Cider Donut, Succulent Agave & Oakmoss, Black Tea Orange & Almond, Berry Tangerine (one of my favorites for summer) and the aforementioned Hot Buttered Rum. I got some free samples and now I want to order 16 oz bottles of Maple Bourbon Brioche and Cranberry Scone. YUM! Maybe also Merry Mint. But I must. restrain. myself. I have bottles of Bombshell and Be Delicious from CW I haven't even used yet, plus scads of FO's from other suppliers I've yet to put in wax. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I totally forgot about the Pumpkin Chai, that one is really good! It was a big seller for me last fall. Their Pumpkin pancake is super yummy too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynna Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I didn't think that many people used Fillmore. Glad to see others do! Iced Lemon Biscotti BLEW ME AWAY. Easily one of my favorites. Lasts long, has a nice warm biscotti scent SO much better in throw than the Almond Biscotti I tried from another company, and the bakery notes really mellow out the icing/sugar so that it isn't overly sweet and headache-inducing.
