LaurieF Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Okay how many of you have a ton of partial oils, samples, unpopular, even stinky oils in your cabinet? I know I did.I separated all the above into categories, bakery, floral, fruit, etc and mix 'em together and will come up with some non-descript name like Floral Bouquet, Country Kitchen or whatever. And actually they smell really good and believe me I've got enough to make it worth my while to test. Just thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Heh heh, I do that too (they are just for my own use). DH calls them my frankencandles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 We had a septic nightmare last spring and I mixed all of my strongest scents together (cinnamon, bayberry, toasted hazelnut and a few others)... worked great to get rid of the lingering septic smell!!!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melpitt Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hey that is a great idea...So I tried it out yesterday.. With orange marmalade and a little vanilla velvet and a touch of spiced apple.. My niece came over and wanted all the candles I made with the scents LOL.. It smelled a lot like orange spice tea my mom makes each holiday season. I would consider it maybe a holiday season scent. I used equal amount of the scents as I had just less than an ounce of each. I do hope after the cure it still smells good. BTW I used ezsoy in 8 oz jj. No dyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmeroo Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 WoW! That is a great idea! I was really dreading going through all my old scents and trying to figure out what to do w/them! That is what I am going to do!! Thanx for the tip! Kimmeroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I do that with all my extra little amts. of wax that won't fill up a container and pour that into some large orange juice/pineapple juice cans. When I get about 2 large cans filled up I melt it all as-is and then pour. I call it candleshop and it sell's like hotcakes!Now I can do that with the oils! Great idea!Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindys Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 At the fall show I did, I had mixed home sweet home and some other ones. I called itAutumn woods. It was the first thing i sold out of. I should of wrote down what I used. I swore Id remember, but I forgot to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Good idea! Thanks! Gee...wonder what I'd come up with if I mixed all those Christmas scents I want to get rid of together? Probably something really pukey unless I categorized like you did. Otherwise, I'd have a scent calledPinapumpkcinnopepberry. I'm watching too many commercials on tv!
