HEHMOM Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 What suppliers have you found? Have such great oils, that you can get by using only 1oz. of fo in your soy wax, and give an awesome cold and hot throw. So far mine have been with The Scented Bean, Bittercreek, Scents For Soy. Curious what others have found to work for them. Looking to venture into some new suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENISE72598 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm using Just Scents for my 1275 (soy & paraffin blend) from C&S. 1oz per pound is all that I need. She has fantastic oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerfully strong!!!Blueberry CheesecakeBaby MagicCinnamon Roll with Vanilla FrostingBoysenberry Spiced CloveSnuggles "Fresh Rain" TypePink BombshellHot CocoaChina RainCreme BruleeAphrodesiaSome lighter scents in soy (they're still nice, but are a bit fainter, and will need to cure longer in your candles before burning):Dream Angels "Halo" TypeGirl's Night OutI also like many oils from Peaks in my soy candles:Key Lime PieButtermint CandiesSugar Plum Berries (this is STRONG!!!)Amish HarvestCreme Brulee (I prefer this one over the JS version)Lilac (a wonderful true lilac scent!!!)Wick Your Wax (available through BCN) has fabulous scents (pricey), that throw wonderfully in soy:Buttercream Crunch (I actually like JS's version more)Fresh Linen (FABULOUS!!!!!!)Persimmons and Water OrchidBiscottiPerfect PumpkinHinokiwood and CypressAnd from BCN:Spiced Cranberry (this is amazingly strong...if you plan to sell, this one may be an all-year-round best seller for you...it is for a lot of people)Mulled CiderPecan PieHot Apple PieJingleberryTwigs and Berries (great cold and hot throw)Hope I gave you some ideas!!!

wookie130 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Oh, and I have heard EXCELLENT things about Bubbles-n-Lights, Sweetcakes, and Snowtop Candle Supplies for fragrances that do well in soy wax. I have yet to try any of their oils, but have heard many positive reviews on this forum, and others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Candle Cocoon has many that will throw with about 5 or 6%. I have a couple of Taylored Concepts and Lonestar FO's that do well at about 6 or 7%, and have a couple of Peak FO's that throw well at about 7%. I still can't get water type FO's to throw in my soy. I am trying some out in a parasoy and getting great results. It's funny, I can get many to throw in my soy that I can't get to throw in anything else and many that I can get to throw in the parasoy that won't throw in my soy. So it really is hit or miss, depending on what kind of wax you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 The few FOs I have in candles from Sweetcakes rock.MillCreek is another I LOVE - www.mcsoywax.com - they have excellent customer service and their FOs are very affordable for the quality of throw. IMO, they lack a little in the creativity department, but I've loved every single FO I've bought from them.BC is great, both North and South - especially the WYW oils. Can't go wrong with those.The few Peak oils I have are awesome - great throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I recommend Just Scent, too. Her oils are outstanding and she has an excellent sale right now.Also Ky is another winner, I use most of her oils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it really is hit or miss, depending on what kind of wax you use.I don't want to highjack this thread but, Kaybee, this is exactly what I notice too -- same thing for me. Several that throw well in soy do not throw or smell as good in paraffin and some won't throw in soy but will in paraffin. This is why I have kept using my paraffin wax for some must haves that I can't get to throw in the soy -- I have to use the paraffin in my tureens (wide mouths) though -- I hate soot! ------------I find The Scented Bean and some from Peaks and BNL so far to have a higher percentage of REALLY STRONG throwing oils. I would say that the Scented Bean has the highest percent that I can actually cut down on. I have many more companies to try out though.

Kaybee23 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I have been testing a parasoy blend that I am really liking for my FO's that don't throw in my soy, that I can get locally. I hate using a 2nd wax, but there are some FO's that I just love, that won't throw in the soy, like Juniper Breeze. It does wonderful in the parasoy. I have heard a lot about the Scented Bean, may have to order some samples to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbkfdu4 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Snowtop's FOs have an awesome throw in soy. She is limited but I have to say her oils really throw. I use C3 wax. I too buy most of mine local at Taylored Concepts & AAA Candle Supply.Kerry,Have you tried Taylor's Plumeria in C3? How is the throw. I just bought some because I was out of Snowtops......Snowtop's was a little strong for me but a couple of my testers loved it.......Thanks,Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I am sorry Pam, I have not tried the Plumeria, and I don't pour the C3. I am currently testing their 50/50 parasoy, which I really like. Right now I use KY Puresoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight_Luvr2003 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hey Gurl I bought my EcoSoya wax from Ebay & I bought my scents from this this woman Ruth from CandleSupplyCentral is their Ebay Id and she has just about every scent that Bitter Creek has I have also poured a few candles that I had some problems with but I found out what the problem is so thats fixed and the scent throw is good hot or cold but then again like someone else mentioned to me last nite you are ALWAYS lookin for the PERFECT combination and as she said there is no such thing so I hope this helps.Blessed BeSincerelyMichelle SmithWhat suppliers have you found?

mappam Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Bluegrass Candle is awesome. I can pour most of these FO's at 6% and get a very strong hot/cold throw. Also Candle Cocoon has some very strong and unique scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 maryann- Actually, I mean that most of their scents are run-of-the-mill, that although their quality is superior than other suppliers, they don't carry many unique and exclusive scents. I'm drawn to places like The Scent Works and Sweetcakes, who have a number of unique and singular fragrances that you can't find anywhere else. I do like to blend my own, but it's nice to have a couple that you don't have to blend, but that you also don't see on everyone else's website, KWIM? They do have a handful of unique ones, but the majority are common to other suppliers. I hope that made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Candle Cocoon has some very strong and unique scents.When you say you can pour most of these at 6%. How do you measure that? Thanks!

daniedb Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 SprinklesWife - 6% is a reference to the percentage of FO (fragrance oil) to wax. If done accurately, one would weigh both FO and wax, and a 6% FO load means (approximately) 1 ounce weight of FO to 16 ounces weight wax.
