TallTayl Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh gosh, that's a tough question... I find not only seasonal but regional preferences.'This time of year, Peaks has a nice selection - and a decent offer on tester bottles so you can try a lot without braking the credit card: CranApple Marmalade is nice, Mistletoe, Apple Jack, Gingerbread, Pumpkin...CandleScience.com has quite a few decently priced that have always worked well enough, as does NaturesGarden. Both of those are reasonably priced for what you get.One of my favorite vendors for fragrance has to be AromaHaven, followed closely by The Scent Works. Most of my best of the best fragrances come from these two. I guess I'm of no help at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy, USMC Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Introduced Candle Science Mistletoe for the fall last year and it's turned into a year-round and best seller for me. Never expected it to do so well but it does have a great hot & cold throw in both CB-135 and pillar blend soy & 4786 paraffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimee81 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 You will get awesome throw in EL wax too on the above fo's. Lemon cheesecake is my all time favorite!Does EL was take 5 -7 days to cure before I get any HT? My ecosoya melts were amazing in 2 days and even better in 5. However, I used EL Votice/Container 60/40 and 3 days later the melts don't give off a strong HT like I am use to with Ecosoya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much experience with melts but i know the candles do need to be cured for about a week for HT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorseScentS Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 May I ask which Birthday cake (which supplier)? I'd like one that's really strong.Have you tried Peak's? I love it! It's strong and has the buttercream frosting note. It's the only one I've tried, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Does EL was take 5 -7 days to cure before I get any HTEach wax and FO is slightly different. Some FOs don't throw much until they have cured a week or more; others seem ready to go as soon as the candle or melt cools. It's wise to allow about 5 days on average. Curing for a longer time won't hurt anything, but curing for too short a period of time will frequently yield less-than-spectacular results.

Meridith Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 What sells for one person, or is their favorite scent, might not sell for you or be your fav. You also can't always base what might sell on what you like, i.e. I hate Blueberry Muffins and yet I sell tons of it. I've also heard about FOs that others rave about, and yet I couldn't give them away. You have to see what is popular in your market and go from there. That might take some trial and error.
