shafferbuns Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Has anyone ever heard of Scent Intense, used in your wax, supposed to make the scent throw stronger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Nope, never heard of it. Where's it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 something I seen on Ebay, looks like yellow wax, said add 1 ounce to 1 pound of wax for a stronger scent throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 my mistake, it says 1% per pound of wax. Says makes candles burn longer and have a stronger scent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmaw Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I saw the scent intense on ebay too and was very curious. I searched on the internet and asked some candle suppliers. I can't find anything out about it at all. Just wondered if you found out anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Maybe it's just vybar and they are calling it Scent intense, just like some people change the names of their scents!! Just an idea, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Shoofitz Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 She says she has made candles for 10+ years and decided to share her secret with this scent intense. That is automatically very curious. If you had the best candles ever, would you share your secret? She is also selling "the best wax ever" with no mention of what kind of wax except the melt point. Why don't you email her and ask exactly what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I saw this on eBay, too. If it's yellow, it could possibly be nothing more than beeswax. Wouldn't hurt to ask, but I doubt she would tell anyone exactly what is in it. JMO, why would anyone give out their secret formula for candle making to anyone?

shafferbuns Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's yellow, yeah curiosity got the best of me. I emailed her and asked if it was beeswax , actually i've emailed her a few times asking just to bug her and she won't answer me. When I bought it her description said use 1% per pound, now it says use 1 disc per pound, one of the disks is about 1.6 oz, I believe. I tried it with 6006, but only at 1% per pound and didn't notice much except it seemed to make the wax harder, and make it shrink more. I tried it at 3% per pound and it seemed to me at the time, it made the candle smoke more, I've not tried it since. I still have some of these discs sitting in my little box so if a couple of ya'll want to look at one and see what you think it is, pm me and I'll send you a disc to check out.I might add that a couple of weeks ago I went back through her feedback and emailed 4 people who had bought this stuff from her and asked them if it worked, 1 said no, it made no difference, 2 said yes it made their candles smell better and one said it might have helped a little.

gmaw Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I emailed the lady too and asked exactly what it was and she wouldn't say. She just said it was something she'd used for 10 years. It's really got me curious since no candle supplier has the slightest idea what I"m talking about when I ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I wonder if it could be nothing but Universal Additive. It can be added to any type of wax. Maybe she melts it and pours it into molds to make the discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 shafferbuns was kind enough to send me a sample of the scent intense stuff so here's a photo. Some have speculated that it's beeswax but it doesn't have even slightest beeswax odor and the texture is hard and plastic-like. To me it seems like microcrystalline wax, or micro mixed with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Here is it placed on top of a slab of similar material - a type of micro wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 You're right, Top! It looks just like the wax in the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
