bah67 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) bah67 I would really appreciate the feedback on this one in wax! Thanks for the offer. I am curious to hear what you think.I will let you know, I usually let mine cure for 5-7 days. Longer if I have a lot of candles to test. LOL. Let me know about your testing of FOs from the candlemakers store (I saw your post in another thread). They are local and I would love to save on shipping.

so-soy Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I let the manuka lavender cure at least 4-5 days before test burning it in pure soywax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bah67 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The Manuka Lavender smells GREAT! You can really smell the honey. Hope it smells even better after 5 days! Cannot wait to burn it...this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator girl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) bah67-just to update you. My friend that really loves orange vanilla emailed me and told me that the candlemakers store orange vanilla was her favorite of all the testers I sent over. The testers were random things and not all orange scents. This is what she sent me: " it's awesome - it is strong on the vanilla but there is a clear orange smell as well and it's just a happy smell! It's strong too (which I like - but not too strong) - I burned it in my guest room upstairs and i could faintly smell it in my living room downstairs"I'll test it myself when I get it back from her later this week.I am testing the orange danish from CMS right now and I really like that one too.I also ordered the orange dreamsickle from there as well. It smells good OOB but I am not sure when I'll put it in wax. I also ordered samples of apple butter and christmas eve based on a few recommendations. I haven't put these in wax yet either and not sure what I think yet. Edited March 23, 2010 by aviator girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bah67 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks aviator girl. I also have CMS's apple butter but haven't poured it yet...maybe tomorrow night. The orange vanilla sounds great, I will have to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
