Jokerjen Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does anyone here use Candlescience? Just wondering about the quality...... I am stuck on peak's but notice some nice ones over there and said to be strong in soy too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdieluvr76 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't do soy, but have heard that the rating system they use for soy is pretty accurate. Their Fos are some of my faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybirdsoaps Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use some of there fos. There customer service is great, but as to the leaf system for the soy ( I use GB 415) Its great even the ones with one leaf are ok throwers but some of the 2 leafs will still chase you out of the room!

jennhalcyon Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hey Jen,I don't use soy but there are some great oils at REALLY great prices! I love their cranberry marmalade, cinnamon buns, hansel & gretel's house, himalayan bamboo. There are others, but these are just off the top of my head! They are definitely a top notch supplier.

Sugar & Spice Dog Treats Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I adore their FO's....and their customer service is top notch too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I am a huge Peak fan, but quickly became a CS fan. Customer service is fantastic, the quality is great. I use the Cranberry Marmalade, Pumpkin Souffle, Vanilla Hazelnut, Coconut Lime Verbena and Rain Water (great seller). Candle Science is really close to me, whereas Peak takes a week to go across country. You won't be disappointed. I use a 50/50 blend.

ajp Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I use soy and am a very picky tester and wasn't that impressed overall. I tested over 15 and decided to keep two- spiced wassail and wildberry mousse (which I use as a mixer). I use 415 soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Their Rose is a dead-on long-stemmed red rose scent. It's the best Rose I've ever found. I'll probably never try another one. Wildberry Mousse is awesome and I don't normally care for food scents. Lime Cooler is excellent. Violet Lime is nice but I only gave the throw a 6 on a 1-10 scale. Very nice, though, for a light, feminine scent with a bit of a bite. I didn't get much out of Chardonnay until it cured about a week. Then it was nice. I thought Blackberry Marmalade smelled slightly burnt. Maybe knocking the load down to 6% would help. I used 8%. Red Hot Cinnamon is very good. I'm testing it in votives and it has great throw with no wicking up. I use comfort blend. Their customer service and prices can't be beat.

jakalex Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I use CB135 and they are one of my main suppliers for fragrances. If you do a search you will find all of my recommendations. I am too lazy right now to look them up! LOL!You will not be disappointed. As everyone has said above, customer service and products are top notch. Their Palm waxes are also very addictive!

Candybee Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Great oils at great prices! They are F A S T!! I always get my orders in about 2-3 days. I have switched to using many of their oils because they are that good. I use CB135. And if you ever have a question about something, they always answer the phone and are very helpful. Don't forget to ask for a free sample of fragrance with you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logcabinmomma Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 With regard to the burnt smell in Blackberry Marmalade- it loses that with curing, just like Pumpkin Souffle does. Strange. It's a strong burnt note OOB, weaker if burned before a cure, but after a cure it disappears and mellows into a fresh baked smell.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do that when you placed your order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
