sassyQ Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Mr. Missy's Yuzu and Lime (just got today) is awesome. PM me if you want me to send you a sample. I smell lime-plus. It is just beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOrleansLady Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I love JS's Lime cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I love the Lime Cooler from CandleScience. I've mixed it with vanilla, raspberry and some other berry scents and it is a very good mixer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassyQ Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I have it burning in an oil burner and it is blow you down strong. I said OOB on the previous post of mine, (that means out of bottle), not in wax. I know things sometimes turn out different in wax, but when it is this good OOB (out of bottle) it usually is good in wax. But, that is just my opinion though. Plus, two other ladies who recommended it to me from another board said it was good, although they use soy and I do paraffin. I'm sure Candlescience is great too. I have never been disappointed with them, but I have never tried their lime, and I have this one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyQ Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Oh, and Southernstar, the flea market went fabulous, much better than I ever dreamed. I thought there was a recession!! Thanks for the good luck wishes. I have another one in two weeks. Would you send more of that luck? It really worked!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernstargirl Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sassy...sure I will send you some more luck...if you send some my way in the way of finding a good lime or lime cooler or something that does not smell like pledge.I have a customer who must have it and so far all I am getting is things that smell just like pledge. And so I am on the search again but I must get something quick for her. And if I ordered a sample tomorrow and got it next week, then it will be another week and I am not sure she will wait...but oh well such is life. Wonder if I could blend Key lime pie with straight lemon and get something like a lime cooler type thing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I don't know about plain lime types but BCN has a key lime pie that rocks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 sassy, do you wick your candles? I have many, many, many FOs that smell different from OOB when they hit the wax, and especially when you wick them. And citrus FOs can be tricky. I've been on the lookout for a non-bakery non-pledge lemon for a while. My sister wants it, and every candle I have given her, she turns her nose up and says, nope this is pledge too!BTW, I have the yuzu and lime from MrMissy's too. I haven't put it in anything yet though. It's on my mega to-do list. OOB I do smell a tangy lime note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernstargirl Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Camay...I use the Lemon Twister from KY and so far each and every customer that has bought my tarts says that this is tha bomb and no pledge smell what so ever! I have melted it too and it is awesome. Love it!!!!! Not sure if you have tried it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 No I have not tried that one yet! I'll put it on my KY list for the next order. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Lemon Zest from BG is awesome, no Pledge scent with this one ... of course, this is just my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyQ Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Camay, I do wick everything I do. Wickless does not sell well for me. I do mainly pillars, but container sales are picking up. I do mostly pottery pieces in them. I have been burning a votive for the last hour or so upstairs in the Yuzu and I am loving it. Again, it is the only lime I have ever tested, but I will stick with this one. If I get one I really like and it sells, I do not look further, UNLESS there is a price difference. I will not sacrifice quality for any reason, but if I can save a dime.............I have a show coming up in two weeks and will introduce this then. I'll post on results with it on how it does there.To me the Yuzu is lime, but something else maybe Yuzu? It is just a pleasant limeish scent, very subtle but strong. Let me know what you think when you try it. My husband who NEVER comments on any scent, I mean NEVER, smelled it and said it was his favorite and he thought it would be a big seller. Oh, I take that back......he LOVES Mr. Missy's Hydrangea and I brought it out last weekend at a show and had to run home twice for more because I sold out, then Sunday people had told people and I was completely out of by then. It is a really great scent too, kind of musky floral, not sweet floral. Compared to a real Hydrangea, it is dead on. It almost seemed as if the 40-ish above crowd ate that one up!!
