Judy, USMC Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Oh, poop! Gotta get off this thread. Just read Linnaete's post and now have to re-arrange the list to include the Cashmere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrd46740 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The Bayberry and Cashmere were a little too strong for my taste, I don't think I'm a bayberry person. The Cashmere sort of reminded me of the Aveda Sapmoss shampooCan't wait to try some more!Yeah, the bayberry and cashmere rank right up there with lavender.....STRONG & STINKY Note to self - you must work on better marketing techniques, stinky won't cut it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah, the bayberry and cashmere rank right up there with lavender.....STRONG & STINKY Note to self - you must work on better marketing techniques, stinky won't cut it LOLNow Bert, stinky is in the nose of the beholder!! Remember that stinky sandalwood -- it's a big hit with my customers. I've poured it straight, blended with ylang or rose and now I'm going blend it with lavender -- that will take stinky to a whole new level:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a bayberry lover either, but it is highly requested around the holidays. I much prefer food related scents:drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Question about the Lemon Bisscotti...Smells great hot and cold but the wicking I am having a problem with have already gone up one size and the flame is still weak hoping will catch up towards bottom. Anyone else had to wick up for this one? and if so how many sizes up? I started with an RRD50 and am at an RRD55 so I am as big as I can go with the RRD's. It does smell delicious thoughAlso played with the glass glow today and put candy cane in it at 4%. Got the funny fuel smell with that in this wax but when I use it in the CB135 its good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've found the same problem with other oils, too. Works well in Soy and doesn't work with the Glass Glow. Seems it is even more limiting in the scents that will work - but it is such a pretty candle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennhalcyon Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Gdawg,I don't know if you play around with CDs at all, but they are doing really well with the Lemon Biscotti Pie...the throw is at least as good as with the RRDs, probably even better.just my observation!

Gdawg Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks Jenn, I have some CDs that maybe I will play with. The RRD55 is catching up towards the middle of jar. That RRD50 just never caught up was thick all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered! I wanted to ask you all which of her coffees would you recommend--I have a request for a Cappucino...????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy it's hard to guess what will take off! Lemon Biscotti is still #1.Thanks, I will keep that in mind for her, wonder if she likes the Hazelnut? It's not a scent I am crazy about, actually.... is it a touch or the top note, would you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
