Sarah S Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Candles: wax: CBL-125 & Soy 125 mix wicking: wicked up a size FO load: 6% jar: small toddler jar cure time: about 48 hr CT: okay HT: okay* *This is a unique fragrance (IMO), with top notes of citrus, an opium and myrrh heart, and a spicy base. OOB is it very strong and a wonderful incense-type fragrance. It just did not deliver in wax. I tried it in the wax melter as well (same wax as above), and still lackluster HT. However, it did not morph at all, so it may be worth a try in a different wax/wick/jar combo. incense: DPG/FO: 50/50 charcoal sticks dried about 1 week before lighting CT: moderate HT: moderate, did not morph* *Again, under delivered on its OOB promises. I bought this in 2017, as an 8oz bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Soap: CP soap, about 40% animal fats, 60% veggie fats FO load: 5% Lye solution 30% soaped about 100*, no crazy addatives acceleration: no discoloration: yes, light tan morphing: it definitely flattened out a bit, but was still nice dry throw: moderate wet throw: good I used this in lotion and body butter as well, with much better results. As a perfume, it may require a fixative for optimum performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
