I do order leather from The Candle Source too which is a very different leather but also good. To my nose it's a more noticeable scent in aroma beads but I really do need to do a side by side comparison. When I blend I use the one from Texas or LS though. I'm not crazy about the blends with the other leather or at least not so far. But the leather I've bought most is the one from Texas. It's almost identical to the one from LS so either one of those would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've inspired me to try some leather blends. I'm soaking beads in a blend of leather and vanilla tobacco. I only have the leather from CS, and I don't love it. I was looking for a way to use it up. I really should try the leather from LS. Thank you! I hope you have fun with your blending! Where do you get your beads? I bought from aroma beads online for a long time but they changed their beads and they're horrible! I now use Plastic Pellets 4 Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had any problems with them, but I only make ornies on and off. When the mood strikes. I am really liking the Leather/Vanilla Tobacco blend. I am eally anxious to try some more leather blends, so I'm gonna order from LS today. Are there any other must-haves you'd recommend from there?

The ones from Plastic Pellets 4 Fun are the same I think, just less expensive and free shipping. From Lonestar I like Blueberry Cobbler Butt Naked Cowboy Apple Cinnamon Butternut Pumpkin Candied Yams Caribbean Escape Cinnamon Sugared Donuts-smells the same as the others I've used Dicken's Christmas Coconut cream pie I've read where French Market is really good. Haven't tried that one myself Hawaiian Blast Honey lavender gelato-Haven't put this in wax yet but it smells nice OOB defiantly Leather Marshmallow madness-A very different marshmallow. Smells good to me Moose Munch-Haven't put this in wax yet but it smells good Sugared Cronut Vanilla Cotton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfroberts Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 @Belinda all I can say is WOW WOW WOW! I ordered leather from both LS and Tx Candle Supply, and I got the one from Tx today. It is amazing! Unbelievably good. Thank you so much for the recommendations. I'm tickled to death! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I only make candles once a year and sell them only during the fall and holiday season from Sept through Dec. Since I only do fall & christmas scents I can tell you which sell the best for me just remember its not a year round scent list from me. Best sellers: Christmas Tree from Fillmore or CS Mistletoe and CS Frazier Fir for a Christmas tree scent. I tend to blend these so I have a fir balsam pine & eucalyptus combo. Cranberry Marmalade CS (I blend with a straight orange for a cranberry orange spice) Nutmeg & Ginger Fillmore, I rename this to reflect Autumn Christmas Splendor C&S blended with CS Apple Harvest and FB Cinnamon Broom for a Cinnamon Apple scent blend I offer about 20 scents for my seasonal candles but those are my all time best sellers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 My #1 best seller is my own blend of Cinnamon Vanilla Other top sellers are: Black Raspberry Vanilla Eucalyptus & Spearmint Volcano Lemon Pound Cake Pumpkin Pie Apple Pie Blueberry Cobbler Love Spell Agave & Oakmoss There are others but those are the main ones I think.
