melissa1955 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Try a drop or 2 of vanilla in the citrusy sents, and also works for straight peppermint. (thank you candletech!!!):rolleyes2 Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Have you had anyone else test the candle & give you a review? We all have different scent receptors & what you smell as lemon (random example) isn't what everyone smells as lemon. What you actually smell depends on how varied your ability to pick out high, low or mid notes that make up a fo & you can't change that. I've sold several scents that I don't like or just don't smell 'right' to me, but they sell well & other people like them. What scent are you questioning?Susan.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 its a straight cranberry...wonderful smell...before burning..I am going to cure alittle longer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I have a pumpkin pie fragrance and it smells like fuel or rubbing alcohol or something... So I mixed it with pumpkin harvest and it smells just like pumpkin pie. I couldn't believe it. I have sold out of this candle scent in all my stores and I can't make enough. So it worked adding something spicier to get rid of the fuel smell for me anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 One of my favorite FO OOB and in Tarts is Cranberry Marmalade. But when I burned it in a candle and got that fuel smell, it was a big disappointment. I never tried the vanilla trick. Will have to do that. I've been avoiding that FO in candles and it's really a shame because it's a terrific fragrance.Thanks for the vanilla tip!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
