justajesuschick Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Oh I could give a few favs if you want help with list building! See, I adore their Warm Vanilla Nutmeg but others had bottles that had no scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Stop stop stop. lol. Right now most of my scents are only from NG but I have been wanting to try some lip balm flavors from AH/RE which would mean I would have to try some of their fragrance oils. I guess I should start a list. lol. The Warm Vanilla Nutmeg sounds too good to pass up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 In fact, WVN was last night's wax test FO. Tonight is my own Black Raspberry Vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithfulScenter Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Flannel Sheets is good too, but haven't tried the rest. I've got a 1 ozer of Christmas Past but I never put it in wax. I can't remember why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justajesuschick Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Agree. Flannel Sheets is wonderful. I love it! I use it in melts and shower gel and lotion bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ha-Chanderwicks- no not a pilot, you have me chuckling though- just able to work from work when not on the road for appts. I LOVE WVN- esp in lotion!! That one I do have, and I've used Flannel sheets and Blue Skies in aroma beads for air and car fresheners (I have athletes in the family, so I try anything to avoid having my car smell like a locker room!! But you all gave me some other wonderful ideas, I've wanted to try AH's Almond Cream....yup here I go, starting a shopping cart now...

SuzyK Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hmmm, well hopefully I can use some of my tax refund to try these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Anyone tried Flannel sheets, Christmas Past, Blue Skies, and Dreamcatcher?I prefer Flannel Sheets over CS Clean Cotton and Dreamcatcher is an amazing, one of a kind scent...truly beautiful.

IwantItgreen Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I prefer Flannel Sheets over CS Clean Cotton and Dreamcatcher is an amazing, one of a kind scent...truly beautiful.Cool! I was thinking of adding Flannel sheets to my line, but maybe not until next Jan. Flannel makes me think of winter. Here in Dakota we don't need flannel in July :rolleyes2 I'm excited to try Dreamcatcher too. What about Amazing Grace (out of stock) or Angel Heart? I'm seriously considering doing the "America the Beautiful" line and was considering one of those for the "God shed His grace on thee" candle. Anyone have any reviews for those?

samandkennasmom Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Awesome label!!!Well, if you are going to order from AH/RE you may as well add Warm Vanilla Nutmeg to that list. That is another delicious scent.Hhmmmm I got that in a 1oz and out of bottle don't smell hardly nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's wonderful in lotion- especially cocoa butter lotion, really lasts. I'm going to put in in wax this weekend. I think you'll like it in wax. I've found I haven't tried many of the AH oils in wax yet, I've just tried them in lotion and aroma beads- so now I'll have to add to my tester tray of oils for the weekend!

megandgarr Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had a sample of WVN in my stash for the longest time and wasn't impressed enough to put it in wax. When JAJC sent me one of her tarts made with it, I fell in love. I promptly dug out my sample and have been using it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justjasen Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I am currently in a testing frenzy. I am testing EcoSoya Advanced and EcoSoya XCel. Comparing throw from two different fragrance suppliers. I made 6 60z candles of the following (3 from EcoSoya Advanced and 3 from EcoSoya XCel): Each candle has a different wick CD6, ECO4, and small wooden wicks. RainCoffeeTropical Fruit SalsaJasmineCool WaterFresh LinenWhite Cherry BlossomFresh LinenPineRose PetalsTomorrow I am repeating the same scents by making 3-6oz of Golden Wax 444 and 3-6oz of EcoSoya 135.120 candles in all. Luckily I have family members/friends who are going to be taking detailed notes as part of my testing process. I am going to be taking a trip in March to LoneStar and AAA Candle Supply in Texas and want to make sure everything is exactly how I want it before purchasing rather large amounts.

The CD 6 may prove too small. You have been busy, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantItgreen Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Give your soy adequate time to cure or your results may not be so impressive.Some FOs need longer cure times than others.
