Dahlia Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I know you still have to do your own testing;) , but I like the fact there is more of a chance they will do well. I'm getting ready to do a big FO order and I was thinking NG tested all Fo in soy at 1 oz. per 1lb. of wax, but now I'm thinking I might have them confused with someone else. I have fragrances from them that have done great before tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Millcreek makes that statement on their website...there are probably others too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbleBath Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm gonna guess that soycandle.com tests their FOs in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubure Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Soycandle.com is great, really! Very good fos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 BCN tests in soy but I know they have some FO's that are listed as "?" as to whether or not they throw well. But they do have quite a few that have been tested.I hope to get some good ideas for other places to try. I want to try some other FO's and from a place that tests in soy! Great thread! I asked for millcreek scents for Xmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Snowtop, CandleScience, Flickers, Aroma Haven, Kentucky, Tennesee, Fragrance Oil Heaven, Daystar, Green Leaf, Oklahoma Fragrance Supply ... I'm sure there's more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari357 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 not happy with quite a few fo's from NG. Really like Candlewic's fo's has a "ultimate fo category" very strong scents even in soy. Also Justscents has great fo's and lists "strong" or "light" in soy. Have been very happy with both companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Really like Candlewic's fo's has a "ultimate fo category" very strong scents even in soy. Agreed, Candlewic and Peaks are the first two companies I started testing with and I am finding myself right back with them. They dont have as many unique blends as other companies out there but they always throw very strong in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I've never been disappointed with Peak's FOs, but I try to get most of my FOs from MillCreek, since they are close. I've only been disappointed in only one of their FOs, otherwise they have good stuff.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 millcreek does test all the fo's in soy. thecandlesource.com's oils are fantastic and throw great in pure soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 BC tests all their fo's in ez-soy @ 1 oz per pound, and have been testing that way for a few years.. there are some that were not tested in soy, because they were around longer than the soy...

silverm00n Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 millcreek does test all the fo's in soy. thecandlesource.com's oils are fantastic and throw great in pure soy.Really? All they carry is soy, I'd imagine they would test all their FO's in it? Only thing I'm not too happy about with MC is that they recommend adding 1.5 oz. pp. Candle Cocoon FO's were a recent try for me, so far I think they have nice strong scents at a lower oz pp ratio.

Has anyone else used less then 1.5oz pp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Why not ask the suppliers themselves whether they have tested their FOs in soy? Whenever I have had a question from the suppliers I use, they have always been very prompt in getting back to me with an answer. I have also found that there is a lot of variance in what folks look for in fragrances... I have bought from some places who say they test in soy and I did not find the particular FO I purchased to live up to their claims; I have conversely bought from places who do not advertise that they have tested in soy, yet their FOs were wonderful. I think people have different criterion which they use to judge the longevity and hot/cold throw in candles. What is acceptable to one person might not even make the cut to another... This is where those nice little sample sizes really come in handy. For a small investment, you can get 1/2 oz. or 1 oz. testers which will give you plenty of FO to make votives to test (@1/2 - 1 oz. per pound).I also do my "sniff" tests several times... I find that my "nose" varies - some days, nothing seems strong enough; other days, I can smell every little nuance of a fragrance...Good luck! I have been partial to most of the FOs I have received from JBN, Peake and Wellington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
