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".Black Cherry......very strong but reminded me of robitussin......................10Mac Apple .....Wowser....awesome.....love it........................................ 10Carmel Pralines.......People loved it.....nutty, sweet.................................10Cedar Vanilla......my fave of the bunch..not as strong as others but still a .......9I would only reccomend oils with a rating of 9 or 10.Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thank you for your reviews. They are always informative.I have been dying to get the cedar vanilla into wax, but just have not found the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixisprkl Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I ADORE the cedar wood vanilla... best scent ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The black cherry is strong! I have to use it at 5% or else mix it with something.I also use the carmalized pralines as a mixer. Smells yummy!At first I like the Vanilla Cedarwood OOB until I test burned it in my tart warmer. Too lite. Not a good thrower IMO.Haven't tried the macapple yet. Got a sample to test but OOB it smells nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The MacApple is awesome in 6006. I mix it with Bert's Christmas Pear and it's a best seller for me. Mixing it with CS's Brandied Pear and Cinnamon Stick is another winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Cedarwood Vanilla - Excellent scent! Good cold and hot throw in paraffin. Strong for me!You can smell both the vanilla and the cedar! I absolutely love this scent. It's my new favorite!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramel Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 If you are talking about Candle Science (I have seen "CS" used for another vendor, I think), then ITA about Cedarwood Vanilla. I use it in a mix and it is awesome! I also love their Hazelnut Vanilla (I tried using this in a mix with their Black Cherry and it overpowered it).

classylady71118 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I also loved the Cedarwood Vanilla and had a good hot & cold throw. Now about that Carmalized Praline...I can't give it away :tiptoe: :tiptoe: Yuck.. :rolleyes2 JMO,Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Want to add that I tried their Smoke & Odor Eliminator last week and love it! The other ones I've tried have been floral, whereas CS's is spicy and a very pleasant scent.Since the weather has turned so cold, DH has been smoking in the house and when I mentioned that to my DIL earlier today she said she would never have guessed--that she couldn't smell it in the house at all.

Candybee Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've heard good reviews about their Smoke & Odor Eliminator. I'll have to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katcandlemaker Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 All their florals I am having total success with....just awesome and smell like really true flowers. Another good one is the strudel and spice. AWESOME and awesome throw.Someone mentioned Chocolate Fudge. It smells good OOB but hard to get it to throw even in a small bathroom. I tried every kind of wick under the sun and finally gave up. Didn't sell a one anyway and ended up selling it. The white tea and berries and white tea are awesome ones as well even though they only got a two leaf rating, I had wonderful success with the throw. The white tea smells almost identical to the green tea perfume by E. Arden? The white tea and berries is just a nice soothing and almost revitalizing scent..not sure how to describe it.
