CareBear Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have a very pepperminty FO (Peppermint Ice - OT). Is a straight peppermint candle too much, in your opinion?If I want to tone it down I do have some Vaniglia del Madagascar (sp?) but wouldn't know how much to add - and does vanilla go brown in candles like in my soaps?So much to learn!

Scented Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Peppermint is great in candles. So refreshing. Nope, vanilla doesn't go brown in wax unless you make it brown.Trick for combining scents ... Q-tips, cotton balls etc. Put different FOs on them and toss in a baggy. Come back later and smell. 2:1 ratios ... two tips or balls to 1, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debscent Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Peppermint makes a great candle (I sell a TON of chunk votives during the holidays). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmi Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I love peppermint! I just made a huge pour of red chunks covered in white in an apothecary jar and it looks beautiful. I really like how it looks after it burns a little while. So, I guess I like it for 2 reasons- first the smell and second how beautiful it looks while it is burning!!!Kimmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Light Mama Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I have a Jack Frost scent from JBN I just bought, thinking that a cherry vanilla peppermint scent would be really funky. People love it because it's different, which is what I try to carry. Otherwise people could go to Yankee or Bath and Body works and get the same old stuff, right?:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
