msant Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have been making soy candles for myself and my family for over a year. But I am stumped right now with trying to find a fragrance oil (for soy GB415) that smells like church incense. I have searched the forums and people have suggested Frankincense and Myrrh etc. Unfortunately, I have ordered about 8 different Frank..and Myrrh and it's definitely NOT what I'm looking for. Also tried Essence of Bethlehem and Essence of Jesus. Nope..not it. The smell is the incense the priests distribute during holy days like Christmas...Good Friday etc. Does anyone know what I am talking about or where I could find it?? Thank you!!!msant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaH Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My DH was a server for many years and he says it's just Frankincense, no Myrrh. You might give that a try if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennie12 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I just received a sample of Nag Champa from CandleScience last week and it smells EXACTLY like traditional incense. http://www.candlescience.com/fragran...fragrance-oil/HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a point to mention it every time I burn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msant Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have to try the Nag Champa fo from CS. Now my husband is skeptical..."would people want a candle that smells like church?". Hmmm. Well I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
