On bitter creek's home page tehy offer the wick your wax FO's pretty expensive but they say you only need 1/4 oz or tbetween 1-3% to the lb to make strong scented candles. Has anyone used these and if so what is everyones opinion??

I use WYW Fos and you really don't need but about 1/2 oz pp with them. I use J50 and 1/2 oz and get a great throw. They are more expensive, but the cost evens out because you use less. I buy the 4 or 8 ounce size. I like their Vanilla Grapefruit, Fresh Linen, Lavender and Sweet Basil, Bamboo, Snowberry and Sage & Citrus.

I would definitely order the sample pack and try them out. I was skeptical too, but am now a believer. They have some really interesting FOs, like bamboo, madagascar spice, lavender and sweet basil, white plum chutney, etc. I haven't tried one yet that doesn't throw well for me in parrafin.

Yes, you can absolutely go by the manufacturer's guidelines on WYW's FOs. I love them, and use them as often as possible, I think they are amazing quality and have unbelieveable throw. The top shelf FOs only call for 1-3%, which is almost nothing, so the price equals the ones that you use 1 oz pp.

I agree, the WYW oils are very strong. And they are very complex, a lot of interesting notes in all her oils. This is one of those "you get what you pay for" oils.

I just ordered samples of both their regular and top shelf fragrances which should arrive tomorrow (excited!!). I'm just having a hard time getting over the fact that their name sounds like the title of a dirty movie :o

I have her buttercream crunch, Wild Mountain Berry, Biscotti, MangoMacadamian Nut and White Plum Chutney. And I love them all. It was an initial investment, but well worth it.
