evesorto Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 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.A rating of "10" means that the scent filled the room and was an extremely powerful scent.A rating of "9" means that the scent filled the room.A rating of "8" means that the scent filled the room but was a "barely there" type of scent.Anything lower than an "8", I rated as "0".I would only reccomend oils with a rating of 9 or 10.Amish Harvest- 10As many have said, the oil is a twin of AH Celtic Moonspice. I thought that it may have been a bit heavier on the cinnamon ?Chestnuts & Br Sugar-10A nut and cinnamon type scent.Kudzu- 10Very fruity, grape, tropical type smellApple Brown Betty-10My favorite of the bunch- More apple than cinn or br sugarSweet Potato Pie- 9Cinnamon bakery typeCactus Sea Salt- 10I loved this clean scent. I smell a fresh water type scent, heavy on the salt but no kelp/seaweedEve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evesorto Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 I did try to use 6% and 8% because people here were very insistent on this point. However, I do feel that the candles were not as powerful (my opinion). I think that 10% makes an awesome candle with most oils. However, there are a couple (Little Black Dress, Celtic Moonspice, Hansel & Gretel) that I use 8% bec 10% seeps or makes my nose hairs burn.I did start out using 12% but found that 10% was equally as powerful; I couldn't detect a difference. I did not think that 6% or 8% was equally as powerful but many would disagree with me.hth,Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
