moonrose64 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 1 Of my fav places for scent...Good post for people who don't know about The Candle Source..:highfive: Candle Source sells good scents...That's 1 reason I love them. Their prices are great...You just have to watch what you buy as far as scents. Some will be good and strong, others will be weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becca Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I just placed an order for some samples. I'm certainly not an expert but I'll post when I try these out. Becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Those prices send up a red flag for me. But, I'm a skeptic. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Me too a bit but I figure I've lost much more than that on FOs from other places that I've hated. I ordered all samples so I can get a feel for their scents. They have great e-bay feedback however and all my communication has been promptly answered.. so far good CS. We'll see!

Heather Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks for the head's up. I just placed an order with them. The website sale prices are even better than ebay's. I ditto what Laura said about the Sunwashed Linen and Blueberry Cheesecake. I poured with IGI 4786 and they were very strong. The Spiced Apples and Peaches and Magnolia is great in 100% soy. Great cold and hot scent throw. The Vicks Vapor Rub was not that great in 100% soy. Didn't have much of a throw, but I only poured them a few days ago so they may get stronger.

lbtddr Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 would the scent be stronger in tarts than candles i have never made tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi, I would think the scent would be stronger in a tart than a candle, because you get a full meltpool quicker with a tart than you would in a candle. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks. Sounds worth trying anyway.. now I'm excited to get mine and try them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyofsoycandle Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Yeah in my opinion I think tarts are stronger but i think container would be a close comparison. But yeah my favorites that just were so strong I could stand to cut back, were the honeysuckle, downy, sunwashed linen, J&J's soothing lavender and spring rain. I loved those! They were just extremely strong! I will let you all know when I try them in votives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretchen Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hate the idea that I might sound either old or stupid, (neither really) but are you guys tellin me you're selling a candle named 'monkey farts' (?)(my kids aren't even allowed to say that word!)(LOL- but true); and do people really buy a candle that smells like Vicks? Although I cane understand the reasoning to that one. And Downy? They buy that too???Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it as an air freshener spray also. Plus I use it in my carpet deodorizer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Ok... Got my order and tested a bunch of tarts this week. Made with a blend of 75% KY Tart Votive and 25% KY PB and about 1oz/lb. They haven't cured for long yet but overall I'm impressed.... For the prices, their FO's are some of the best ones I've tried so far. Orange Creamsicle- Average to strong. I blended this with some Cran. muffin FO and got a great spicy scent. Pink Sugar- Not the strongest I've tried but I like it... not overwhelming. Downy Clean Breeze... WHOA. STRONG. I would lighten up on this. Buttercream- Very lightFresh Strawberries- AwesomeVanilla Crunch- Strong vanilla.. great for mixing. Black Rasberry VAnilla- Very strong and true.Thats all for now (been too busy to play much this week!) but I'll keep updating.. I have about 6 more to try. Will def. order again.
