The Candle Nook Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 1 hour ago, TallTayl said: How much of your original candle science bottle do you have? It takes generally an ounce sometimes 2 ounces to get it duplicated. I have 2 pounds and am hoarding it 😂😂😂. Altho, what good it does to hoard it I don’t know....actually looking at FB currently, and they have several cranberry’s. One a “cran marm” and one claiming “cran apple peaks” — is FB’s scent a dupe for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekimi Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Wow. Just finding this thread. I love this forum 🤗 If only I'd have been doing real research before 🤯🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindel Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Has anyone give them a finished product i.e. Candle so they can extract and duplicate the scent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them make a dupe before. They need an actual sample of the oil. Cannot pull it out of a candle. And, the process isn't 100%. They claim to have a 98% success rate with duplications, but I don't think that accurate... I suspect it's a lot lower than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame cause I don't have a sample. (no way of getting one since it's from a finished product.} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my best selling fragrance and CS (damn) FO changes are gonna cause me to DRINK! Wondering if anyone else has done this dupe peocess successfully. I noticed they have the duplication of CS Cranberry Marmalade listed on their site. Curious if anyone has tried it and if it is similar to the original cranberry marmalade?

Peggy T Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm pretty sure you can get a 1 oz sample from them. I would call or email. They're usually pretty responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowshopping.com Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I've ordered from them dozens of times. They are the best quality and selection for the price that your going to find in the states. They will also de-formulate any concentrate you have so long as you have at least an ounce of un-diluted fragrance oil at any quality price point you choose. They are absolutely fantastic. These are actual concentrates and not "perfume oils" they need to be diluted for personal care/fine fragrance etc. This is a very solid company. The minimum is 10#'s so order your best sellers from these guys and experiment with new frags from the retail suppliers knowing that you can always have the fragrance duplicated if you find that the more expensive suppliers oils are selling well. Prices range from $10-20 per pound. Production time take 2-3 weeks so don't wait to the last minute to re-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz-Escentials Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I recently got a lot of samples from AFI and I am so excited about the chance of having a quality oil supplier that isn’t cut down a million times. My question is, what are your average usage rates? With my house wax blend (melts only), I typically use about 12%. I started testing at 6% but would like to get others feedback. Thank you!

I use 6-7% across the board, no exceptions. Reputable suppliers really aren’t cutting FOs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently testing other cranberry FO from other suppliers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
