Judy, USMC Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Now I know some of you have started testing in candles - just wondering what the initial reports are!

Sharon in PA Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks for starting this, Judy!! I posted some results in the initial thread, but I will re-post them here, for continuity:Lemon Biscotti Pie~ (I just call this one Lemon Biscotti) GREAT SCENT! Love this one, and it throws very well in my wax/ wicks; Farmhouse 50/50, CD wicks. (wick up!) Very true bakery scent!Pumpkin Custard Spice~ Another Yummy one! I didn't have to wick up on this and it's a great thrower for me as well! Sweet and slightly spicy pumpkin, different from other pumpkin scents I've sniffed...Oatmeal Cinnamon Crunch Bars~ I added a tad more cinnamon to this, and to me it is very good! A great cookie scent, and the BIT of extra cinnamon rounds it out very nicely... (I did 1/3 cinn. to 2/3 of the oatmeal cinn-crunch) great throw w/ only a few hours cure!... as were the above...Vanilla Latte~ Poured these only into tarts so far, but YUM, I am NOT a big coffee scent fan, but this is the right mix of a sweet vanilla and coffee, my LR smelled SOOO yum last night! Delicious!Apple Cinnamon~ Again, I added a bit more cinnamon to this to get a good mix of spice/apple, this is a sweet-ish cidery scent on it's own. In my tester however, the cinnamon I added kinda took over, so I am gonna pour it on its own next time...my friend who's a big apple fan, loved it OOB....very sweet and apple-y, not much on the cinnamon...I am still testing Cinnamon Nutmeg Clove, this isn't as strong OOB, IMO as I thought it would be, to me the predominant scent is Nutmeg here...it needs a bit of a longer cure than the others...I still have Apple Dumpling to test (reminds me of ST Baked Apple OOB, I believe...) and I also got Holiday Spice, and Holly Berry, I like both of these OOB..they need to get into wax to get all the notes out, I detect a slight sweetness as well as spice in the Holiday Spice)HTH everyone!!! I want to read more reviews; CB, you have A LOT of testing to do!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You got that right girl ... I've also got a few more samples coming. :whoohoo: Don't cha worry bout a thing ... I'll be posting my results this week. Anybody want to buy some CD wicks that don't work worth a dang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 So Far I have tested in my GB 415Oatmeal Cinnamon Crunch Bar...Has a Good HT..I really like the smell,and so far everyone that has tested for me likes it also.Redwood & Cedar...Has a Good HT..I just love this one..I have not gave this one out to my testers yet..I only made one..Pumpkin Custard Spice..Has a Good HT, I don't know if it smellsup my whole house, But I really like it..I only made one of thisalso, So have not gave out to my testers..Fig & Melon..Has a Med. HT..But it has something about the smellthat I really like..and I can't quite put my finger on what the smell it is..It will fill up a good size room with a good HTBayberry..Had a Med. HT also, but I personally didn't care tomuch for the FO..But It could be completely different in anothertype of wax..Creme Brulee..Has a very good HT, and it smells very very good..Apple Dumpling..Has a Med. HT..but smells good..but there againit may do great in another wax..Pineapple...I did not care for this in my wax..but it was strong..I know that alot of you candle makers use a 50 50 blend, and fromwhat I have read about in your post,,you seem to get a better HT than I do in my 100% soy..And it seems you don't have tocure are long..I must say that Bert has some really good oils..and they mostly all smellvery good OOB..So that tells me that they would most likely do well in other waxes..But my wax is just a hard wax to get any suppliersFO to work well in..If any of you come up with a better way toget a Good HT let me know... I just love her oils, and the price is great too..I have bought very expensive oils and have had less HT throw than hers..So I guess Price really does not always mean that it is better..Hope I have been a help to someone..

sharig Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey Bert,I've been keeping up with this thread and the other one about your oils. Would love if you could post your email addy if possible. I sent a message thru ebay about a week ago, but never heard anything back from you. But.....I do know these wonderful people on CT have been keeping you quite busy. So glad to hear you are doing so well. Thanks,Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 bert,is the offer good for all members of ct? also what are your prices? i seen the lb. price. was wondering about the 1oz. & 4oz. size. thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey Bert, just wonder if you would consider contacting Sara, the board Administrator, and see if you could post on the Supplier Announcement link. After all, you are a supplier, and you could keep us updated on scents, etc. ... just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharig Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 OH....I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just getting ready to place an order too for holiday scents. Thanks Bert, for the addy and for the great savings. Will wait for tomorrow then to place the order since you are getting new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi Bert... it's great to have another supplier on board. Is anyone testing in J50 wax? Can't wait to try some new scents and love the prices. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
