jackbenimble Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm looking for a good Teakwood FO for soy and saw that WSP has two. Indonesian teakwood & mahogany teakwoodHow do they compare and have can you give me a review if you have used them? Also is there another supplier that carries and teakwood scent? Btw- I have tried Caribbean teakwood from CS and its a wonderful FO but so light I can't smell it in my soy wax and it was curing a month. I also saw that CW has a teakwood as well. Thanks for any suggestions or advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoegal Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was going to suggest Carribbean Teakwood from Candle Science. I really love that one. How much are you using? It has a pretty strong throw to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a pretty strong throw to me.I am using 1/2oz for 8oz of wax. I wonder if I can or should go up because this is such a lovely scent. There are several reviews on the CS site that some testers said it was very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I use CS' Caribbean Teakwood in palm wax and it is blow the doors off the house strong at only a few days cure at 6%. It is interesting how FOs respond to different waxes! Edited January 9, 2015 by pcbrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) There are some reviews on CS website that their teakwood does not throw well in their soy. Shame because its a beautiful scent. I use palm too and it does throw like the dickens! I will be adding it to my line this spring. Edited January 10, 2015 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I plan on blending my own version of this scent and renaming it. I guess I'll have to purchased both FO to decide which fits the blend better. Edited January 10, 2015 by jackbenimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 CS does not throw at all in 415- love the scent but it doesn't workMahogany teakwood sounds interesting- BBW has a version that is very nice- is the WSP a dupe of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well I broke down and purchased both the mahogany teakwood and Indonesian Teakwood from WSP. Had to because of their $40 min on orders. Hopefully one will work for the blend I want and I'll use the other by itself. I've used a couple of FO from WSP before in 464 soy and they have worked well. Hope these do too. To fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Indonesian Teakwood is an old fragrance. It is a beautiful fragrance. I first used it from the old Green Leaf company and then from Just By Nature and so on. It is a floral with a woody undertone and it is stout. A little goes a long way in most applications. It is skin safe and I have customers who only buy this fragrance. It's very perfumery but not overwhelming; unless you use too much.

chuck_35550 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Southwest Candle Supply This fragrance has a rich, fragrant teak wood scent among notes of soft oriental floral notes with underscores of mossy amber, sandalwood, and acacia. It is a fragrance that has a calm and relaxing feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
