iammommytwo Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 not sure if this helps at all, but they have the best LemonGrass, and Sage&Citrus. I will only get them from there. They are very nice to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandNewToCandles Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The melonberry smells AWESOME oob, haven't poured it yet, though, saving it for when I really know what I'm doing...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 I agree, the Sage & Citrus is awesome. I tested it a couple of days ago, and it was great! It filled my living room, dining room, foyer and down the hallway. A keeper for sure! I am definitely going to order the Lemongrass, but would really like some opinions about the others as well. The Melonberry sounds interesting. Hoping to get more feedback. TIA. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amieelynne Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Juniper Breeze--have used in lotion, smells devineOcean Mist--awesome cold throw in soy, subtle hot throw but still niceBlueberry Cheesecake--unbelievable throw, hot and cold in soy...yumSweet Honeydew--little too sweet smell for me, but others love...great throwMelonberry--awesome hot throw, smells a bit funky oob but make sure you pour it into some wax because it's great...kinda smells like a ripe cantaloupe to me there's some other smelll in there too, but can't put my nose on it lolso many others too...I really love their FO's. I think their butt naked is the best one I have tested so far, and their grandma's kitchen is dead on--those are my 2 favs from themhaven't tried the others you listed, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candlebuddy Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 I'm putting Butt Naked on my list . . . I've been thinking about ordering that one. I love The Candle Source, and think their fo's smell great, but IMHO, some throw much stronger than others (kinda hit or miss with me). The ones I've already tested so far that are awesome throwers are: Fresh Cut Roses, Downy, Sunwashed Linen, Sage & Citrus, Spiced Peaches & Apples, Grandma's Kitchen. Because their prices are great and so is the customer service, I'm hoping to test more scents that I can add to my line. I just did a search and read good reviews about Chocolate Chip Cookie, Coffee Caramel Cream, Lemon Mer. Pie, and Strawberry Shortcake (my list keeps getting longer). Appreciate everyone's input . . . does anyone else have favs from The Candle Source? :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCFantasy23 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Anyone know if they're soap safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I emailed him a while back and asked that, he said all are skin safe except clove and country bumpkin. Course you would want to email him again and ask in case he's added new fragrances since then. He's great about answering emails, very nice person!

Candlebuddy Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Just wanted to give an update on some of my Candle Source testing . . . Juicy Sweet Cherries - very nice, smells like a wild cherry lifesaver Butt Naked - very nice, tropical fruit, I'm picking up a pineapple noteLemon Mer. Pie - very nice, no graham cracker, very nice lemon Lemongrass - unfortunately, I got a fuel smellI tested in 50/50 at 10%. I only cured for 24 hours; so I can't give much input on scent throw. Although, when I walk into the rooms that the testers are burning in (2.5oz votives) - I can definately smell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokymountainraine Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 How do you order from them? I clicked on their online catalog and got an error message. I found the list of fo's but no where to order. Am I missing something? Do you have to email your order?Well how embarrassing! This time I was able to get in to the online catalog. Sorry.

smokymountainraine Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Golly. I didn't think any place could be worse than Bitter Creek. Now I can get in to order from the 16oz bottles but not from the 8oz which are on sale. Confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdieluvr76 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I think they are having some website difficulties. I went there today and some pages were working, others were not. Must be doing updates or something. I'm gonna try again later.I'll post what I bought when I get home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
