samandkennasmom Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi there!Was going to place an order with MC for the first time for some clam shells and was wondering if anyone has tried their lilac and how it was? I use 100% soy wax now. Also, if there are any other FO's that a girl just shouldn't be without... that info would be great too!! Thanks bunches!Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I only have a minute, so I'll tell ya that their Lilac Breeze is very nice for us in our 50/50...Carol K. is the resident MillCreek expert, I'm sure she can recommend lots!!

LaurieF Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I mostly use MC oils and am happy with 98% of them (that I've tried).Lilac is good for a floral and STRONG!! I only use 6.5 to 7% mixture for my jelly jars and even less for my bigger candles.I never could get a throw with they're Blackberry Sage or Spiced Sugar plum. Also they're Pumpkin Spice has to cure a good long while before you get throw on that one.But my absolute favorites from MC is Sweet Pea and White Tea & Ginger. IMO they are better than several other suppliers.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowded House Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 chestnuts & brown sugartulip- strongstormwatchcountryside heather gourmet sugar cookiesI found all of these to be very good throwers as well. One 4oz candle I made with Heather Countryside (415, 6% FO) about knocked me out the door of my 600 sqft front room!Caramel Apple is also good, as well as their Amber Romance, Estee Lauder Pleasures, Irish Cream Delight, Mediterranean Fig, Night Blooming Jasmine, and Spiced Cranberry.Fresh Cut Roses is also very strong (although not my preference in a scent).I did like the cold throw of the Cool Water but couldn't get a very strong hot throw out of it.
