DarrinB Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hello Everyone, I am fairly new to the board. I've had been making candles for about 6 years and then I stopped about 9 years ago. Since then I've been making candles as a hobby for personal usage. I am now looking into getting back in this as a business. In the past I've brought my wax and scents from mostly Candles and Supply and Nature garden. I had also used a company in the past that I beliave was called Alabaster for scents. My question is have anyone here used these companies and what are your thoughts of them (quality, price, etc)? Also can anyone tell me of any other companies that they have used and liked? How to they compare to Candles and Supplies and Nature Garden (if you ever used these companies)? One last question, I am trying to come up with a list of scents and how many scents should I use? I was thinking about starting out with 10-12 scents. Will this be to few? Thank you in advance for you support and answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyF Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi I love Natures Garden. Their scents are strong and amazing. Peaks Fragrances are my favorite. Super strong and even better than NG to me. I also love Candle Science, Mad Oils, Brambleberry, Wholesale Supplies Plus and others. There are a few companies I hate. I do not like Candles and Supplies I find they are weak. But I hate a few companies. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinB22 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks for your answer. I also like Natures Garden However I did purchase one scent from them that didn’t smelt right. It was the lemongrass. I like the WOW wax but was hearing that the wax is not the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick S. Schmidt Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Nature Garden is really good. Their all candle and soap making supplies are goods in quality. I use their candle making supplies in Prilep Candle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisS Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I haven't used Nature's Garden since the early 2000s--I quit making for a decade and came back as well. Alabaster is now Community Candle--I used them back in the day, but I haven't picked them up again. I'm not a fan of Lonestar--pretty smells, but they won't throw for me. Elements Bath & Body carries some of the old Bluegrass fragrances. Rustic Escentuals carries some of the old Kentucky Candle Supply fragrances. Pure carries some of the old Tony's and Southern Garden fragrances, along with a few from Moonworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
