evesorto Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sorry about spelling error in title/heading. I get "revved" up about ICS, so these are oil 'revies' Wax is igi 4627, fo is 10%, wick is eco 2 and container is a one oz. tin, appx 2" diameter. I am using a new testing method. I am now allowing the candle to burn for 2 hours before I rate it. I am using my master bedroom which is appx 15'x20' with 8 ft ceilings.If the candle scent/throw is rated a 10, it has amazing throw and is a powerful "knock your socks off" scent. (ie Hansel/Gretel from CS, Sweet Amber Musk for AH, Strw Rhub from Flickers)If the candle scent/throw is rated a 9, it scents the room wonderfully but doesn't knock you over the head. (ie CS Mango Papaya, ICS Moonlight Path).If the candle scent/throw is rated an 8, it scents the room noticeably, but may require a larger candle (CS Ocean Mist, AH Almost Paradise).If the candle scent/throw is rated a 7, it is a barely there type of scent and I don't reccomend it.If I can't pick up on any scent at all, I rated the oil a 0.I purchased my favs from ICS, which are Moonlight Path, Cukes and Melons, Pink Sugar and Raspberry Guava. I noticed they had a section called "Garage Sale", so I tried a few of these oils which were about 50 cents/oz. I also tried a couple of samplers of new scents.English Daisies....very nice floral.............9Madagascar Vanilla.....YEAH!! Beautiful Dupe. Inexpensive......9Olive Blossom.......not at all floral...totally olive (slight sweet)..10Orchid....Whoa...heavy duty floral shoppe...........10Passion Kisses....really nice......fruity, candy ............10Salty Sea Air...clean nice, kinda like cuc and melon to me? 9Tiger Lilly........couldnt get it to throw .......0Love the oils at ICS. Prices can't be beat. The Van Madagascar was either 13.95 or 15.95; other suppliers charge over $25/lb for this oil.Still have Cactus and Sea Salt to test. Will post reviews when I do.Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
