NattyCat Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I got some FO from Save on Scents and bought the ultra concentrate but a) it smells weak OOB, it smells even weaker in wax and c) it doesn't really smell like issy miyake - it's sort of similar, but not very true.Does anyone have any experience of a good Issy Miyake dupe? I've got people screaming for the candles but I won't sell any that I don't feel are up to scratch. Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think Issey has more than one? I love love love the Issey for men from RE (used to be SNC). Drool worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fern Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I get Issey Miyake from Save on Scents (Ultra Concentrate) and it's very strong in my 0k6228/J223 tarts. What kind of wax are you using and how much fo per lb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I can vouch for Ferns use of this scent. She sent it in a tart swap and I'm addict. The throw was excellent! I'll be getting some when I'm called back to work! I love this scent! I just hope when I get it, I will work in my soy!:lipsrseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of wax are you using and how much fo per lb?am using ecosoya pb and cb-135 in tins and tarts - not made pillars with it yet.I found it had no scent throw at all cold, and non-existant hot throw. I use 1.5oz per pound usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 It could be that it's a scent that just isn't going to throw in soy. Not sure if you know this or not, but some scents just won't throw in soy, no matter how much you use...it's just how soy is. Sometimes a week of curing will increase your scent throw. If it doesn't throw by then, it's not going to. I'm not familiar with CB-135 so I can't help you with that wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
