I never saw a sale either, just some of her FO's that were on sale because they've been discontinued.

Where is vanilla voodoo from? Please and thank you!

I think it's from Candle Cocoon. If not, then probably Candle Wic.

What do you make?  

I make wax tarts and a candle every now and then. I also make aroma bead fresheners.

I just found Aztec Candle and soap supplies today. Has anyone tried FO or anything from them? They have a special 5 1oz for $5 so I thought I'd order some to test out. 

 

I order quite a few from Aztec. They offer a special every month where you can buy 5 samples for $5 and anytime they have a new oil you get it at a discounted price. The ones I like are:

Iced Lemon Cookies

Bedtime Bath

Berry Flirt

Black Coconut

Black Ice

Blueberry Cobbler

Blueberry Pumpkin Patch

Brazilian coffee and pure cane

Caramel Pecan Pie

Cider Lane

Cinnamon Sugared donut

Cozy Cabin

Cranberry Joy

Eggnog

French lavender and honey

French vanilla latte

Fruit loops

Spiced gingerbread

Grandma's kitchen

Just Peachy

Leaves

Marshmallow Fireside

Mistletoe kisses

Sweater weather

I have more from them but haven't put them in wax yet. I will say I don't care for their birthday cake or salted caramel even though there are great reviews about those two oils. To me their birthday cake smells like play dough.

" a velvety blend of amber, powdery iris, and sensual leather "  That's the notes of a sold-out fragrance somewhere, so do we have access to a similar FO?

WSP has this one that smells really good. I haven't smelled the one you posted so I can't compare.

(I found out about it through Facebook reviews and comments on CS. (You can do a search and see what I mean) I do agree that they've addressed it to their ability.  I just couldn't recommend them without mentioning that.)

 

Any way.  All of Just Scent vanillas and bakery scents look, as Mary Berry would say, Scrummy.  

 

How would you describe Vanilla bomb and Lavender Rocks @aptommo? 

 

Any other strong ones?  I'm interested in their Vanilla the King, Becky's Vanilla, Vanilla bean (anything) Vanilla pound cake because cake, also a BB.  

I felt like her Vanilla Bean noel wasn't as strong as others I've tried. To my nose, NG's Mrs. Claus Cookies smells much stronger and also Vanilla Bean Cookies from Daystar is an exact dupe of VBN. The one from JS is good but sort of weak to my nose. I do love a lot of her oils though.

Northern Virginia is especially rich in history. One of our regular markets is in Washington, Va, known as Little Washington. The site for the town was surveyed by George Washington when he was just 17 years old.  Of course, we also have a lot of civil war sites here, too.  You'd love it!

I LOVED the trip I took to Virginia!  We stayed in Colonial Williamsburg for three days and then went to Philadelphia. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!

I plan to visit again one day and take my time and see all of the colonial things my heart desires LOL! My whole house is decorated in colonial/early american decor and I just can't get enough of it. There aren't very many places around here to get that sort of thing so most of my home decor I have to order online. Thank goodness for the internet! One day I plan to take a trip up the east coast and visit all of the historical places and shop and shop! Lord willing of course.

My favorite era in history to study about is the Revolutionary period, the colonies, etc. I'm not a boot and horses decorating person. I sell more leather and leather blended tarts than anything else around here. Texans love leather! YUK!

You said Vanilla Champagne, and  you said Orange Peel and Cinnamon. After those two I decided that going with what you say is far better than the shooting in the dark method I normally use to pick FOs.

I know vanilla champagne comes from NG but where does orange peel and cinnamon come from? Trapp has great taste!

Hello @WateryMountain! Welcome! 

I am a teacher's aide so we have something else in common besides a love for scents and wax! I work with special needs kids. What do you teach?

I have to say I am jealous of anyone that gets to live in Virginia LOL! I've been there once and just loved the countryside. I am a colonial/early american decorating fiend and just love looking at all of the period things in that area. I'm in Texas so you know how everyone here (except me LOL!) decorates their houses! Boots and stars and horses!!!

It's good to have you on here! Looking forward to learning more about you and swapping ideas and learning from each other.

I love them all but especially the first one. I love your tree too! Your labels always look gorgeous!

Love it! I hope mine looks half that professional when I do my one and only craft show in two weeks LOL! Actually it'll be done in a school library so I don't have to bring tables or anything. I set up on top of some book cases but when I do start doing more craft shows I hope mine looks as good as yours!

Definitely a disappointment, especially when they are quite cheaper than anywhere else. I was told to just not order from there then  

How unprofessional! 

Has anyone used a circuit and a silhouette to compare? Most of my friends have silhouettes so I was thinking I'd go with that one.

So you use soy do you mean mixed with 4786, 4625 or 4794.

I've mixed those with KY tart wax which has soy in it but mostly I use straight paraffin. I do like the look of KY's tart wax though. It's so creamy!

I'm surprised at the reviews on some of CW's oils. I haven't poured some of the ones mentioned in a while but I was thinking from what I remembered they were strong so maybe your nose does need a break or my memory is really bad LOL!

I use their apple cinnamon and Dicken's Christmas, vanilla cotton, candied yams (which I haven't poured in a long time) and butt naked. 

I agree that the throw is very lite. I got a small bottle from Virginia candle supply and it's lite too.

I second that! It smells really good!

So like 4625 or 4794? Thanks so much for helping me!!! That is soooooo much appreciated!

I use either one of those waxes alone or mixed with 4786 for shapes. I also put them in polypro bags with a homespun piece of material tying them or a bakery bag with a window and cute label. I don't like smudges so if I'm doing shapes I use a hard wax. 

I've closed out of FB twice today because I just don't need another oil but I hate passing up a great sale LOL!

NOOOOOOO!! I can't stand all the sales. I don't have anymore room for oils so I guess I better pass LOL!

Mine are dry after 2-3 days mixed in large glass jars.  I'm reading, now, that I should be letting them cure another three days before baking.  So you are saying you haven't been curing those additional three days, and you are getting long-lasting ornies?  I ask because I just made some without the extra curing and wondering if I shouldn't sell those.  Geez, I thought I had this down pat!

GoldieMN

Honestly though, I think when I first started I probably baked some as soon as they were dry. I also used to package them in polyethylene bags instead of polypropylene before I realized I had made a mistake and I honestly couldn't tell any difference.

I haven't baked any without the extra cure time so I can't say whether that affects them or not. I'm terrible about putting them on to soak and not baking for a couple of weeks sometime. I get too distracted LOL!
