As embarrassing as it may seem, I have a sample of this. Despite the rave reviews, I have never slapped it in wax. I think I may do that today to see what the fuss is all about. However, Ravens, I know in soy wax I have to let my candles cure for 2 weeks. There are some that'll blow my doors down after a two day cure---not too many though. I like mine to get a nice strong cure and then I decide from there. I have never worked with paraffin so I didn't know if you tested it after the 2 day mark. I like my scents to blow my doors down, too. However, here lately, for some weird reason anything too awfully strong gives me the most dreadful migraine. Ravens, I have heard good reviews about Bluegrass' buttercream. They are now owned by Elements. I have never tried that either but I plan to get a sample and see how it goes as well. Have a wonderful day. It is freezing here in Delaware. :-(
