Laura L Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 OK, pardon me while I whine a little. I have been making candles for almost eight years now. I have done what worked and my candles were great and sold well. I never had to do a lot of research and never really changed much besides fragrance offerings. The majority of my product I have always purchased from either BCN or NG. So, I decided to change wax and jars this fall and have been testing since early August.....here it is end of September and I am just so confused, not to mention losing out on business. So, I think that today I finally made a decision on what wax I am going to switch to. I go to look at fragrances to purchase along with my wax and BCN has all these different brands now. That is great, right? Except I am confused about which brand to try. Help! I have always been happy with BCN's regular fragrance oil line, maybe I should just stick with that. Any advice?

bugtussle Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I use a LOT of BCNs regular fragrance line. They are consistent and priced right. Why change if something is working. I find the BNL to be hit or miss. The WYW are very expensive & not always worth the price. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura L Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Carole, you are the best! Thanks for your advice. You have helped me on more than one occasion and I appreciate it. I too have always been happy with BCN's regular fragrances. I think that I am just overwelmed right now with everything I have been reading and that there are just so many choiceslHave a good day!Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky0404 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I agree. I love BCN's regular fo's in EZsoy. I was less than impressed with a few WYW oils I tried. They were okay, not worth the extra money though. I have had good luck with the BNL fo's I've tried, but then again I've only tried a handful of their oils. Good luck with your testing.

Laura Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 which fo's are you considering,and what wax are you using? that might help get more specific opinions on what works great. i use some from the regular line, BNL and WYW lines.

Laura L Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I get hung up easy on fo's with flashy names....here is what caught my eye with BNL.Cotton BlossomLavendar BasilPersimmon SpiceWarm Apple PieI am going to use straight J223. By the way, I normally use BCNs Hot Apple Pie but the review on BNLs Warm Apple Pie was so good I thought I might try it. Is BNLs Warm Apple Pie worth the extra money?

LauraI like BNL's WAP better, but both are good. all of these will throw great in paraffin. i really like the lavender basil, and the cotton blossom gets great revues. i haven't tried persimmon spice, and i can't remember how it smelled after smelling every sniffie they had on display,lol.

ChrisR Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Persimmon Spice is super strong so you need to use less and you need to wick up........it's a great thrower in any wax!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura L Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thanks! I just placed my order yesterday. For the BNL scents I ordered Persimmon Spice, Olive Blossom, Pomegranate & Anise and Hayride. I am anxious to try them. I always use 1.5 ounces per pound so that is good to know about the Persimmon Spice. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
