LeahRB Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Glad to hear it did well in soy. It also is a favorite of mine in soy blend melts, too. The scent last a long time and has a great throw.I think it would make an awesome b&b scent, too. Just smells like something that should be skin safe. Too bad, cause it would be awesome.

Judy, USMC Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I did soy melts also. I did like the fragrance - and it threw well in the beginning but, like most citruses I've tested, didn't really have the hang-time of most of my other FO's.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 you mean that it burns out the fo from the wax fast?i have only tested with a sample..so would like to know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 When I tested it in melts, I thought it had good staying power.. I tested in a blend of 4794 and 415. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WicknScents Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 When I have made this in soy blend melts I get a little hint of grapefruit but seem to smell something more citrus as it burns. I think it is a great scent for melts though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 you mean that it burns out the fo from the wax fast? With my other FO's I can get at least a good day's throw out of a 0.8 oz melt and it will continue throwing the next 1/2 day. The Grapefruit & Mangosteen lasts most of a day but the next 1/2 day the throw is very light ... still good, just not as long lasting. I believe the type of heat may cause the variation. A tester up north has a gas furnace and thinks it's great. I have a heat pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monvi33 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I just finished testing this one also. I use 464. I loved it. It sweet and summery. It is my new favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I loved it in 4794 wax....I wish it were skin safe so that I could use it in a dry oil body spray. In the summer it would be such a refreshing scent to wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
