FaithfulScenter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Someone said in another thread it smelled like Zuchinni Bread. I have a full cart and hope to give you all alot of reviews about these FO after I get them! :-) Thank you! I love the Zucchini Bread, but only had a sample, so I think I'll go ahead and order this too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The absolute must have for me is Harvest Moon. Love that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The absolute must have for me is Harvest Moon. Love that one. I have the Harvest Moon too.

ChandlerWicks Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 What % do you guys use. I'm finding 6% is not strong enough in 4627 or CBL125. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I typically use 8% but on Harvest Moon and some of the others I don't have to at all. Tropical Element for me is going to have to be a mixer or I'm going to have to up it to 10. Anyone get this to throw in soy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 That's good to know, Thanks Lorelei. I couldn't get that one to throw at all. I need to try in a tart just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowworm Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 For those of you that use Fall Festival are you getting a strong throw (hot or cold) from it. I adore this scent but I cant get a strong throw from it...medium at best. I use it for personal use because of this but would love to be able to add it to the store if I could improve the throw. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Element for me is going to have to be a mixer or I'm going to have to up it to 10. Anyone get this to throw in soy?I made some tarts with it using soy. The HT was medium for me but I don't really like the scent that much. I thought it would have more coconut in it than it has. I gave them to my brother. He fortunately loved them!On the Fall Festival- I'll have to let you know. I do have a sample of this and but just ordered wicks. I have none ATM.

glowworm Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) how are you using it?I use it in my melts currently which is a parasoy and get a nice medium throw but it definately doesn't knock me over (which is how I like them ). I have tried it in my normal candle combo which is also a parasoy and got a decent cold throw but absolutely no hot throw.

rctfavr3 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing it your soy blend. Sounds like the FO isn't very soy compatable. Do you have another blend to test in? Not having tried it yet, I can't offer much assist. The only thing I can suggest, and this will sound strange, is to add a little corn oil (for cooking) to the FO, 5 or so drops. Corn oil has a natural ability to extend most top and middle notes in fragrance and essential oils. It wont improve throw strength only make the overall scent last longer. Too much and the scent will change. This suggestion is an extreme last case scenario!!! You'd be better off having it duped or using more per tart/candle. Some scents just refuse to throw and those I don't bother buying again. But with Moonworks other succesful scents, I'm kinda shocked this one isn't throwing for you. Strange.

FaithfulScenter Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Fall Festival has such great reviews on her site, I woulda thought It'd be a knock out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowworm Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) This fragrance is really awesome and that's why I keep making it for myself until I can figure out how to make it throw a little better.rctfavr3- I bet you are right about it maybe just not liking my parasoy. I don't have that happen very often so I guess I may have overlooked the obvious. I don't have another blend that I use for these situations but I like the scent so much I will do whatever it takes.Without giving out any secrets would anyone be willing to share at least what wax this fo really works well in? Thanks! Edited September 1, 2012 by glowworm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I just adore Merlin's forest, my number one favorite MW fragrance!Her new Sugarplum fairy is smashingly good. Other favorites of mine are Earthen oak, Celtic myst, and Celestial sea. I tried Rowan but couldn't get a good HT. Used all these in paraffins and parasoy (6006), and my own blends. Waiting on her Pumpkin cheesecake; tried a sample and it is the very best, can't wait! It'll replace all the other pumpkin FOs I currently have (with the exception of AH/RE Pumpkin creme brulee), lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Has anyone tried Sun & Earth? It's gone from her website & no info on this forum that I can find. It's really, really good! Rowan didn't work for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I got a sample of the Sun and Earth. On the FB page there is mention of problems with the supplier. That smelled SOOOOOOO wonderful I'm not sure what the deal is with that one. I know she will bring that one back though.Ravens and I have the same FO loves...

Camay Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've used a bunch of MW FOs. I think Rhonda has a really great nose, and I will buy just about anything she brings in! I have almost all of the oils she sells, but sadly I am far, far behind in testing them.In 4625, 6%, all greatearthen oak - smells like an earthy vanilla to me, love itfloral muse - like the olive blossom from Flickers, love itlavender sage - my second favorite lavender (1st is tassi lav from southern soapers)patchouli passion - in my top 5 FO of all time, like the patchouli honey from Flickerspatchouli raspberry - great earthy raspberry, doesn't have that fake fruity smellIn CP, between 0.7 and 1 oz per pound oilbergamot tobacco - I keep getting whiffs of ashtray, but there is more, very complex, and I haven't figured it out yetmorning sunrise - nice citrus fruit, but not sure it is better than others I like (fav is grapefruit cassis from southern soapers)orange ginger - this one accelerated on me, barely had time to get in mold, but came out greatpatchouli passion - fabpatchouli chocolate - fabpatchouli raspberry - fabsun and earth - fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an ounce in this sale. If you have ever smelled CS- Honeycomb or Peaks- Wild Mtn Honey. How do these compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 was everyone able to use the coupon? I tried using the 20% off coupon code at 12:30, and it didn't work. I ordered anyway, but would have liked the discount that was promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
