coconut Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Getting ready to test a bunch of samples from Nature's Garden. OOB the scents don't seem quite as strong as Peak's (which I pour at 6%) but I may have candlenose. DH says they smell strong. He liked the fact that sniffing the bottle did not make him sneeze! Does anyone use NG's oils in paraffin and what % do you recommend? Just looking for a starting point. Their instructions suggest 1-1.5 oz per lb. vs. Peak at .5-1 oz per lb. Any input appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Start out with 1 oz. per pound and go from there. Each oil is different in strength so you just have to test. Most of my NG I use at 1oz.pp. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Same here...we start with 1 oz pp of NG in our paraffin..we rarely have to use more, and sometimes we can use a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I've never had to go over 1 oz FO pp wax when using NG fragrances. I love 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Me too. I use a lot from NG and I never have had to go over 1 oz., and on a few I use less than that (4%). I do start testing at 6% though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thank you everyone! An ounce it is then! I can't wait to try these samples. I had requests for several scents and Nature's Garden was the only place where I found them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
