daniedb Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Testing Creme Brulee today to add it in the spring. Is there such a thing as it throwing *too* well? I can smell it all over the house, BARF. It's a great, strong scent, but OMgah, I *hate* sweet bakery fragrances. At least I know it's strong, right? I can't imagine how sick I'm going to be of pouring it when the warm weather arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I like it only in the winter months...when spring & summer come I am ready for lighter and floral scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I am not that big on sweet bakery scents either, can only tolerate a few. If Creme Brulee didn't sell for me last year I would drop it. Every time I pour it, it makes me nausiated, ick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppygirl Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Creme Brulee is notoriously strong & even in soy, depending on the supplier, you can get away with as little as 3% (candle cocoon) to 5 or 6% (KY) and still get an amazing throw. Maybe it would even make it a little more tolerable. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breanna Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I like this scent if it is light,,,when it is strong I cant handle it,,,LOL,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Glad to find out it's not just me!! I liked it well enough at 1st, but CB is SO amazingly sweet & strong that I really dislike it. Not to the point of hating it (yet), but try to get it outta the house as fast as possible. And, as always, it's a top seller that I can't keep on the shelf! Add that to Murphy's Law of Candlemaking: If you dislike/hate a fo, it will become your best seller.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I made Cierra's Buttercreme yesterday and had to vacate the house for several hours after unsucessfully opening the front and back doors and turning on the hood vent in the kitchen. I can still smell it. Gag. I won't be buying a full size bottle of it, it stinks to high heaven.It makes me afraid to try the creme brulee. :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 I guess this is the positive aspect to candlenose, because now I can't smell a thing! I just got finished making a batch of lotion scented with a strong currant scent, made sugar cookie dough with a ton of vanilla, and I could stick my nose right in the CB tins and not smell anything, LOL!I think I will cut back on it, at 1 oz pp it's just too strong, and as TxSioux illustrated, even people who like it, I think, are going to think this is too much. This is the first time I've had to cut back on a scent, I always thought the stronger the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momscandles Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a question about storing candles? How far in advance is ok to make candles and where is the best place to store them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
