I have used that blend and I always heat to about 190 and add FO at 185, stir two minutes and pour. 

I may have to try that one myself. It sounds too good to pass up and I thought I’d found a good one already. @Marleigha, can you compare it to anyone else’s sugar cookie? Have you tried buttercream sc from JS? Or frosted sc from ICS by any chance?

They were the first supplier I bought from. To me, what I got was sort of weak but that was when I first started and thought all scents would blow the doors off. I've since ordered a couple from them with good results as far as throw. I only use their Axe dark temptations oil now and will probably buy it from another supplier if I find it. I did get some of their samples that seem pretty strong OOB but I just never got around to putting them in wax. You don't see much about them on here.

I haven't tried that one or read anything about it. Thanks for taking one for the team! Let us know what you think!

The additive works awesome NightLight!   I especially love that I can do in any fragrance.   You can buy a small amount just like regular oils from Community Candle.   If you go to order some, they have some really nice oils that I use from them like Christmas Tree, Chestnuts and Brown Sugar, Lux Linen, Orange Cinnamon and Clove and there are others too.

So what you're saying is you can add any fragrance to their odor eliminator oil to make it smell however you want but it'll still eliminate odors? I've only tried the one from CS and it does work but I don't like the scent at all.

I wish I would have seen all of this before buying anything from aromabeadsonine.com, that woman is rude and very unprofessional. She did not send me all of my product in my first order so I asked her to send it in my second order, she not only did not put it in my second order, but she left something else out of my order as well and just gave me a store credit instead of sending it, so now I have to make a purchase of at least $15 in order to use my store credit and get my items!! I think I will take the $6 loss and call it a day! I will not be purchasing from her again. Do you have suggestions on where to get fragrances, dyes and beads, i want good beads, these beads I just got dont seem to be keeping the scent. 

I don't buy from aroma beads online anymore. I finally threw a ten pound bag in the trash from there. I get my beads at Plastic Pellets 4 Fun and they're great. NG also has great beads as does Bitter Creek North. I bought some from Lone Star but haven't soaked them yet. 

Lone Star has great dyes as well as oils and also RE, Flaming, for oils and dye. NG has good oils, Candle Science and Candlewic all have good oils. Fragrance Buddy, Just Scent, Aztec and others all have good oils. 

Hello and welcome to the board! Good to have you! 

@Sebleo, I ordered LS blueberry cobbler and it smells divine OOB! It reminds me a lot of the one from NG but I need to do a side by side sniff. I can smell the crust in it too! Thanks for the recommendation!

I second that!

If it's Peak's birthday cake then it's wonderful. It's the best I've smelled. You can actually smell cake to my nose. 

I've used chocolate grahams and love that one. Those are the only two I've tried in wax on your list.

Hey Belinda!

 

No, the odor eliminator from Community is an unscented additive unlike others that other suppliers sell.   This is an unscented additive that you add to your regular "scented" candle so you can custom make any candle into a scented odor eliminated candle.

That's awesome! I'll have to check it out! Thank you!

Those are darling!

Which odor eliminator oil do you use @Trappeur? The only one I've used is the one from CS but it kind of chokes me up a little and I was wondering if there were others that had a different scent to them.

So I’ve just been reading old posts about peaks. I’m interested in birthday cake fo. Do you recommend ordering from keystone? Thanks in advance!🌸

Best birthday cake I've found. I've ordered the one from Keystone and it's dead on. You can smell the cake in it too instead of just a sweet FO. 

I've baked them wet before too with no problems. Leather and vanilla are two scents that take longer to soak up. I also don't think you can dye them after they're dry. I'd do like suggested, soak beads and split them up and then dye them.

I third the peach nectar  from CS.

Hello Brenda! Good to have you here with us. 

I got the email too and was excited! I got several of their one ounce samples during their sale so hopefully I'll be able to try them out before this sale ends.

I would think you definitely have a mislabeled bottle if it smells like bananas. I haven't personally used their cream brûlée but I may have a sample of it somewhere. I'll have to look for it and check. I've never smelled a cb that smelled like bananas.

I love Autumn Leaves from Candle Wic. I have the one from BCN (I think) and also Aztec and the one from CW smells completely different than they do but it's my favorite of the three. I think I also have one called Falling Leaves from RE but the one from CW is still my favorite.

I only see a regular birthday cake...is that the one?

Sorry, I was thinking Scentsy not B&BW's.

This one says Happy Birthday and it says it's a type of Scentsy scent.

I’m trying Cajun Candles aroma beads now hopeing for good results. Have tried Aroma beads online and buy it ship it with okay and not so good results. I’m still new to making them and testing things out

 

I bought from this company for quite some time with great results but when they changed their beads everything went downhill. I couldn't get the fresheners to melt in the middle but they melted all around the edges. They were terrible! I've been buying from Plastic Pellets for fun and they are the old beads that aroma beads online used to sell. NG also has good beads. The ones from Cajun are ok but they don't soak up as fast and they're bigger and have to be baked longer than the ones from NG and PP4F. Also, if you're close to BCN they have good beads.

Leather scent I get from Texas Candle Supply or Lone Star and I even love the one from The Candle Source.

I'm OBSESSED with B&BWs happy birthday cake batter hand sanitizer...wish I could find that dupe!!

I think Nature's Items has a dupe of this one. 

I guess I'm going to have to try that blend again (4625/4794) and see if things are different. Maybe I poured too hot, had too much FO, wasn't holding my tongue right, who knows! LOL! I actually have both of those waxes here now so maybe this weekend I will experiment a little.

The blend I used this past weekend popped right out after a few minutes in the freezer but I just don't want to have to do that. Call me lazy I guess!

Belinda - what wax do you use?

I haven't settled on a wax yet but I use mostly paraffin, either 4625 or 4794 mixed with something else for clams (usually KY tart wax which is para/soy but the soy amount is very little) or 4630 or 6006. For shapes I usually use 4625 alone or mixed with whatever I have on hand.
