OutlandishLady Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The Spanish Melon is absolutely to die for in wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterkaren Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 We have used the litsea and basil. I like it ,but it takes a while to cure. Their lilac is one of our best sellers, so is their Grandma' kitchen and Cozy home. I really like the twigs and berries, it smells better when it burns. Their lav. vanilla is also very strong. I also like their High cotton and I love!!!!!their sweet orange chili pepper. Karen. I am looking for a very nice strong vanilla. We use buttercream from Greenleaf, but would like a plain vanilla. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions?I am pouring some twigs and berries and litsea basil now and plan on buying some high cotton and orange chili pepper with my next sample order.If you want a strong French Vanilla then go with Peaks French Vanilla, it is way stronger than Millcreeks.

Carriegsxr6 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 The Spanish Melon is absolutely to die for in wax okay I will give this one a shot in the wax tomorrow. i may end up sticking with casaba from peaks though, since its a blend of melon and other stuff, it comes across less sweeter than spanish melon. I am having a problem with people complaining that some of my scents are too sweet. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterkaren Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I just ordered a sample pack from Peaks. I have never ordered from there before, but after finding this candle forum I am learning so much. We only had ordered from Millcreek, Bittercreek and Greenleaf. I never knew there were so many suppliers out there. We basically do soy candles, but are looking into easy b&b. So excited to get samples, WE have them coming from Oregon trail and now Peaks. We are so bad with ordering samples. I bet we have over 100 in our shop that we haven't tried yet, we didn't really like all the scents. By the way I am Sister Karen(partner of Sisters @ Wicks End,not from a convent) I have 3 children, all boys 2 of which are twin 2 year olds, hence the name of our business. Thank you all for all of the wonderful info. I am learning so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Candlewic and Peaks, and now Millcreek in my soy candles and some of them can also be used in B&B products. Oregon Trails is great in CP soap, but you may want to stay with a supplier that is a little closer to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
