momscandles Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I am a newbieI use soy wax in my candles and I am wondering if anyone can help me with getting my fragrances cheaper. For me this is my biggest cost per candle right now.I can only do 3 tins with 1 1lb. of wax so that means I am spending 1.00 on just scent. I was wondering where you guys get yours at?

Scented Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Depends on the size you're buying too. For instance it's more costly to pour from 2 oz. or 4 oz or even 8 oz bottles than it is to get larger amounts of FO. That would help reduce some of your costs ... like investing in lb bottles or going up to 2 lb bottles and then there's the next leap of going to 5 lb jugs etc. Other than that, look around at the candle supply companies. Several places have a lot of deals going on, which makes the price of FO even less Of course, since you're soy, you'll need to find those FOs that work great in your application.

TxSioux Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Lucky you -- I JUST found a new supplier located in the Research Triangle. Their site looks good & their prices are great. Check out http://www.candlescience.com/Don't know where you are in NC, but you may be close enough to drive & actually smell their fo's before you buy. That's always fun, till you start getting light headed from sniffing!!I've never bought anything here, but the recommendation came from a very good candlemaker. Has anyone here ever bought from this supplier??Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillgunter Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I order from candlescience also, I live 5 minutes away from them:smiley2: I have tried alot of their fragrance oils and they are great. Good prices. You just have to shop around most companies offer better price on bigger sizes. Peaks also has great FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Carolina Candle Supplies is in Charlotte, NC. They have some good FOs. Their Clean Cotton is one of my biggest sellers. But other than buying close to home and buying in bulk, you just need to be prepared to pay for good quality FOs. It's worth the money to have a good product.

goosebay_1999 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have also ordered from candlescience as well. I have been happy with all of my purchases from them. They seem to have the best pricing on the seamless molds as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
