SmellsSoSweet Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi everyone, I am looking for a frankincense and myrrh that is a bit lighter on the myrrh and heavier on the frankincense. I saw a lot of recommendations on here for the CS frankincense and myrrh, but that just smells kind of like citrus and powder to me. I want something that smells like the incense used in a church. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered a sample of their F&M, it’s really interesting how we pick up different notes. Ootb and on a test strip I smell the amber and oud. I haven’t made it into a candle yet. I also don’t think I’ve ever smelled F&M so I had no idea what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 @SmellsSoSweetI have been looking for a heavy on the frankincense -F&M for a while now. CS USED to have the best around but they changed it and I now get a very weak HT (I do use 464 so another wax might be better.). Before I order now, I speak to someone and ask if the scent is more powdery (myrrh) or incense-y. Most companies will say more on the myrrh side. If I find A nice one - I’ll definitely post it! Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably do that rather than just ordering blindly! Do you happen to recall who has said they have more myrrh heavy FOs so that I may avoid them? I think someone posted that the Lab & Co Frankincense and Myrrh is more incensey, but I was holding off on ordering because of the price.

The Candle Nook Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I haven’t tried Lab and co — so that may be a good one to try....I’m not home at the moment to check my FO closet — so if you feel like “taking one for the team” try the Lab and Co. When I get home, I’ll post the ones I’ve tried and let you know my thoughts...stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, seeing as how it would be silly to order just one FO I am currently thinking about getting: FRANKINCENSE + MYRRH JASMINE + NEROLI PALO SANTO + SAGE BLOOD ORANGE + LIME AGAVE GREEN BANANA + PINK FIG COFFEE BEAN + CACAO SALT AIR + HONEYDEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 @SmellsSoSweet I poured Fragrance Buddy F&M in January and just tested. Altho I wish it was a tad stronger. The scent is more incense-like than most others I’ve tried and currently, the FO to beat. Will keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
