BrandNewToCandles Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Haven't tried any of them, but they'll probably smell much different (hopefully better) in wax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I haven't tried them yet. I am curious too. Let us know how they turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I've only tried 2 (I think ) - Patchouli- very good one Cedar- did not throw as well ( in soy )you might be suprised after you've put them in wax. I have also noticed that I get new FO's, if they are a bit warm from shipping, they smell better after they have sat a bit inside, and also sniff the tops, not the bottle itself.

lbtddr Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 i do not think many of there scents smell good out of the bottle but i ended up liking several after trying them out. i mix some of them two to get a scent i like better. i get them since they are stronger than alto i have tried. i have not tried any of the ones on your list. i would try them out tho.

stacien Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Tia, some plastic bottles are stinky by themselves inside so it could mask the scent. I know I ordered some Birthday cake from Lonestar a month ago and thought it smelled fuel like oob and then I made a candle with it big difference. I don't like the plastic bottles for that reason. There is no true test until it is put into wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdieluvr76 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 This is what I was hoping to hear. Even though I know not to trust how it smells at first, I still do. I'm gonna make some this weekend, and I'll let you know. Thanks for the replies!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I buy quite a few fo's from candlechem, and most of them smell funky oob to me. I haven't tried any of the ones on your list though, except the cucumber and cantalope, and I love that one. You really can't judge this suppliers scents oob though, much , much better in wax.

lindsaycb Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I never did like the frankichouli either. I've had very good luck with candlechem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdieluvr76 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have so far tried the Frankie and Meryl (that is the nickname for it) Coconut Lime Verbena, Honeysuckle and Magnolia and Pink Grapefruit. I hated the Frankie and Meryl, but the rest were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
