8-GRAN-ONES Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Just wanted to let all you know that make candles..This Fo is knock you socks off strong in my 415..I can smell the chestnuts..the most..but it is hard to explain the brown sug...I can smell it, but this Fo is not a sweet smell..butstill it is not a bitter smell either. am I being confusing?At first I was not sure about it..but it is really growing on me..I put it all the way at the end of my house in a bath room..and went out side to do some yard work, and came in totally at the other end of the house, and could not believe the smell, in just about 30 min...I can smell it all over the house...

Sharon in PA Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks for the heads up! How's it compare to JS's version which is a huge fave for a lot of folks?...Her's (Becky's) is definately a sweetish scent, more bakery, and also strong!!

8-GRAN-ONES Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 I have never smelled JS, so I don't know..It is hard to describe it not being sweet, but still there is a sweetness..lol....I am not very good I guess at putting it how it really smells, but I do know it is strong..I used 1 1/2 pp lb. soy..

grama Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I don't do soy but I know in my Paraffin with JS's C&BS I only use 1oz per lb and it is very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Has anyone had the chance to compare JS to Berts yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 THis is the scent I have been working on for almost 2 weeks.Tried 2 other companies and bad wick problems.Ordered Berts this week and doing great with a large wick. Finally got it right and this FO is more reasonable. Now I have a order for 12 of these candles. Been a looooong 2 weeks.I agree with GRAN-ONES.The chestnut stands out the most. That is what I told my customer as soon as it was made. That was the cold throw and smelled the chestnut the most. I had it in my kitchen and with cooking wasn't able to tell anything.Took it in the bedroom/master bath and awesome. Blew it out, left, came back 2 hours later and still smelled it in the bedroom/master bath.STRONG!!!!!!!!!!LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 This is one of the few of Bert's I don't have! Just finished blowing out the JS C&BS - my nose picked up a lot of buttery notes; I'd prefer a nuttier one. Gotta put this one on my Bert's wish list.

I just checked Bert's site and the Chestnuts & Brown Sugar is not there anymore. And...she has an announcement that states her prices are going up on September 1st. Guess if there is anything that we "need", we should get it now, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
