hawaiiansun Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 can't stand the smell of Jasmine that gives me a headache, but people here like it cause it's a tropical flower that they use in leis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Just about anything with spices, especially cinnamon. And just about any candle that's made too strong for me, doesn't matter what the scent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Rose gives DH and DS a headache but doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I get headaches when pouring, but not when the candles are burning. Cin. Buns and Clean Cotton are a couple of the worst for me. Also while pouring these two, for some reason, they dry my eyes out so bad that my contacts feel like they are gonna pop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 A regular Pine scent will give many people headaches. That's why I switched to Spruce Christmas Tree and Home for the Holidays I can't pour or get near anything with Rose in it. The scent makes me want to hurl and the same for Candy Corn.:lipsrseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi you guys,You know the reason I asked this question is during all this testing this week plus weekend, I just happen to pick a FO that is giving me a headache.It is Fresh Linen ( Lucky me ) Didn't want to change it because of comparison of waxes that I started.I'll just tough it out at this point.So thinking how it is affecting me just wondering how most customers might respond to certain FOs.How do you handle that :rolleyes2 Do you exchange that product for them ?I know for myself I would hate to spend money on something I can't enjoy Well I will get back to the assspirin :rolleyes2 LoL I mean tesssstingHave a good oneBrooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was blaming it on allergies, but the funny thing is I know of no allergies I suffer from. Even funnier, I can't remember the scent I was using.LOL:rolleyes2 As far as exchanging product. I probably would. There surely wouldn't be that many. I would want my customer happy. Not telling someone one of my candles gave them a headache.

Jeannie Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Most defiantly Gardenia...GAG! Generally florals and some of the men type colognes give me a rager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Mine is honeysuckle that FO is an instant headache. I make it but I use a mask and all the doors and window have to be open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernscents Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have trouble with Clean Cotton. Not when I make the candles, but I had some wax melts I made and put them in my electric burner and the 2nd day I had to take them out. They were way to strong for me, but I have customers that say what are your strongest candles. I don't like Red Hot Cinnamon either.Pralines & Cream made me sick at my stomach the first time I made it. My husband had to finish it. I had to go lay down. The 2nd time I did fine. It is too sweet for me. I like Plumeria, Love Spell, Banana Nut Bread and things like that. As far as replacing I would do that. I have not had anyone complain so far. It seems the stronger they are the more they want them. I would have to say that Downy is probably one of my fav's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
