I just have to say that you have quickly become my favorite “candle guru” on UA-cam. I never feel like you put out a video just because you needed to post something. Every video I’ve seen from you is helpful, well thought out, and serves a purpose. Thanks for your comprehensive review! Also, what does your shirt say? I kept trying to read the bottom with no luck 😆
Thanks Jenny! I am going to pin your comment becaue everyone keeps asking about my shirt, so this way they can all see the answer! 🤣 It says, "I an not an expert, but I did watch online tutorials". 😆 And thanks for your kind comments and support of the channel. :)
I have no idea. But I'll see if I can find out. Probably online somewhere. I'm thinking of adding a small line of shirts anyway for those of us in the industry. I'll add something like this. 😁
Making testers and reviewing! 😁 There is quite a bit of explanation early on about the process I used, discussing waxes, Candle Science, etc. Feel free to skip right to the reviews if you would like, but you may enjoy the discussion and background of these tests. :) Thanks for stopping by!
What a great idea for a video. Ty Wade for saving me the time. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This channel, in the end, will be the place to go for candle advice, techniques and tips. Don't change a thing Wade! Doing fragrance reviews is another level.
I LOVE Oakmoss and Amber ! When we renewed our vows 12 years ago I made our 2x3 in candles for the tables and our altar candles . The gazebo smelt wonderful and I got so many compliments.
Wade, no one should consider you or your channel fluff. If someone has thrown you shade, they need to watch more of your videos, lol! Yes, you've done some lighter videos, but I personally find constant heavy content depressing. I think you do an awesome job balancing the information you give. Done with that! Thank you so much for reviewing these fragrances so thoroughly. It really helps me as a soap and candy maker. I love knowing as much about a fragrance as I can before diving in, from a reliable source. I consider you a reliable source. In the long run it saves me money, which I'm over the moon about. Also the thoroughness of your testing is unlike most makers I have come across on YT. So, thank you so much! Question: with the apple and peppercorn. I have never had anything like that in my line, ever. If my goal was to have an apple fragrance with the peppercorn in the background would 75% apple and 25% apple peppercorn be a good starting point? Or more like 90% to 10% be right? I'm just trying to get a feel how strong that bad boy is in wax, lol . It was a great video Wade, very informative! Jill Gross
Thanks Jill for your positive reinforcement. Nope, no one has said anything negative or mentioned anything as being fluff. I just wanted to community that I don't just talk and teach, but thst I actually DO as well. :) Thanks for your support as always. And yes, every video can't be hardckre educational. Have to have casual in there as well. :) As far as mixing apple in... id probably start with 50/50 ad adjust from there. Yes the peppercorn is strong but I don't think it would take a ton to tone it down. Plus I wouldn't want to drown out the peppercorn too much. :)
Wow! Very appreciated your work & sharing! It’s very time consuming. For the Fresh cut grass, I will definitely try it out from CS. It is a surprise Scent for me. I like the fresh smell. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video, I really appreciate the thoroughness and professionalism you and your channel display! I ordered Santal and Coconut and I’m so excited to try it, I’m a huge coconut fan... also interested in pink sugar crystals, sounds interesting!
The black coral and moss is my absolute favorite!!! I used it in a bees wax candle, cold throw was awesome! Hot throw was a little iffy sometimes it really filled the room but other times we could barely smell it. Still need to figure out the wicking.
Thank you so much! I’ve been loving the Santal & Coconut as well as the Lavender Driftwood & Pink Sugar Crystals which (for me ) mimics a Victoria Secret berry body mist, my customers are loving all 3 of those already, super excited to check out the rest of the scents , thank you for sharing your opinions and the work you put in to share with us !
I love FO reviews. I haven't yet tested a frest cut grass. But my #3 favorite FO is fresh picked cucumber! So strong and true. If you haven't tested it yet, you really should!
Thank you so much for another great video!! I love how you give so much helpful information for us "newbies" .. Greatly appreciated!! And on another note, you don't even want to know how much my smoldering card was used yesterday ... lol ... Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more :)
Congratulations on making 10K subs!! Thanks for this video, it helps a lot with these new fragrances. I'll be testing mine in Palm this weekend!! Wonderful channel!!
Thank you, I haven’t tried the samples from CS Spring collection but I will be testing fragrances with the kiddies today since they don’t have school... I’m dying for that Apple corn now that you talked about that heavy pepper corn. That Pali santo actually sounds nice too the grass and also that pink sugar and the neroli jasmine and the lavender driftwood seems like scents that would go for my ideal collection. Thanks for your review. I tried the scents I created myself and it has strong cold throw no hot throw! 🙅🏽♀️💁🏽♀️I guess I’m not a scientist 👩🏽🔬... I will have to discover CS BB & WW and see what happens 🤷🏽♀️
I also made a few candles after your first review. I did the Lavender Driftwood, Apple Peppercorn, and I blended the Palo Santo & Black Coral and Moss. I’ve only burned the Lavender Driftwood so far, and I thought the lavender came through quite a bit. I’ll have to light it again. I thought that it was a strong scent. I really don’t care for lavender, so that may be why. Anyway, you’re right about the Apple Peppercorn’s cold throw. It smells kind of bitter to me. I can’t smell any real fruity notes. I’m a fruity scent type person, so I was looking for the apple. I will definitely mix it with a Macintosh apple, or BBW type apple dupe. The last two, as I mentioned, were blended. The cold throw is great. Smells like a tall, dark, and handsome well dressed man! 😬 And congratulations on the 10k following!!!! 🍾🎉🎊
Yes.... its same as PB 600. Also. Just did a candle kit from them with joy wax thst will be posting later this week probably if you wanna check out. :)
Thank you so much for this! I looooooove fragrance oil reviews and you took it to the next level. It’s just something that you can spend so much money on and it totally ads up. And wow to you putting your money where your mouth is. But now, I hope candle science sends you their entire line and you can do this. But don’t necessarily have to buy that... 😂 And congrats on your channel growth. Well deserved. I almost forgot, I’ve always loved jasmine and low key disappointed that it’s getting so much attention now with CS launching it. I have the WW version and it’s nice! Although ultimately not my favorite - I’m only starting with 4-5 scents in my line, so I have to be VERY discerning - I def think it should be in someone’s repertoire of scents if they have a well rounded collection. I feel like it’s one that a lot of people will like. At least the WW one. Very strong in a wax melt and I think I needed to take the FO load down.
I agree. Less is more sometimes. Especially early on. Selecting a handful of good scents is a good idea. I have too many. 😆 And yes, Ialso hope CS sends me more.:)
You made me laugh out loud at some of your reactions. Peppercorn doesn't sound inviting AT ALL and I too love Apple, especially with Cinnamon. I hate the smell of Lavender and don't know why anyone would buy it except for the color. My favorite candle scents are: Apple Cinnamon, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Chiffon, Honeysuckle, and Vanilla. If you have any of those, I'd love to try them. How can I order from you? I used to sell Home Interior products and loved their small jar candles...until their factory burned to the ground. That was probably their undoing. They never seemed to recover from that loss in spite of their new candle line. Loved being an independent contractor/ demonstrator for that company.
Thanks so much Janet. I appreciate that. And we have similar tastes. As far as ordering, my website is in my description but it's pretty scarce at the moment while I wait for supplies and restock. I had to take a couple months lightly when my sis was diagnosed. But I will be making tons over the next few months. :)
I'm curious about the 3 types of wicks you used for neroli jasmine :) I know it will vary based on our wax and jar.... I'm a soaper and neroli jasmine has been quite popular! Btw, I enjoyed seeing your method, and will be helpful for me as I'm testing! It is particularly helpful to hear how the cold and hot throw is :)
Hi Belinda. Honestly I just used a few guesses. I was testing the scent more than how the candles burned. I'd have to dig through my records to see, I don't recall off hand. If I had to give a starting point, I'd say htp 62 for problend 600, htp 83 for 6006, and htp 104 for 3022. But those are just best guesses and starting points. :)
🤣😆 Honestly.... I totally meant to show it in the video and I forgot. It was a long exhausting idea shot over several days and then I was up until 4am finishing the editing. I knew I forgot something. 🤣 Anyways, it says.... "I'm not an expert but I did watch an online tutorial." 😁😆 Which is why I wanted to show it. Lol
Awesome video. Lots of work. Thanks for all of your efforts Wade. Love it. Were those CS Small Straight Threaded Jars? If they were I see why, as you don't need to make & use more wax for the larger Medium Straight for just FO testing. Makes total sense. Why didn't I think of that :-) So you must have a formula that if a certain wick works in the Small Straight then it corresponds with a certain one of the same type in the Med Straight. Hmmm ... I just came up with that. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyways dude, awesome awesome job, and I just profusely thank you for it.
Thanks Rayo. Appreciate that! Unfortunately, sizing larger jars based off smaller testers didn't quite work out that way most of the time. It can serve as a starting point though for testing. Just too many factors and variance to trust resizing.
Well I used a lot in these testers. And trouble wicking meaning that some wax/oil combinations don't burn or wick as well as others. Like more mushrooming, etc
Will depend on what someone is sensitive to. For the most part, candles are fine for most people. Some are more sensitive or have allergies to certain fragrances
I am trying to find a video you did where u made general labels and then put in the name later. So you were able to order a larger amount of labels. Can u help with that. I am really wanting to just order a bulk of labels and put in the name when the batch is complete. Thank you.
I appreciate seeing the reviews of the fragrances in both the bottle and then in the finished product. If Applepepercorn is a " mean" red- next time try a " Ruby" . 😉🤣 ( Congratulations on 10.2k subscribers- I know you estimated March 15, but you hit it 3 days early- Nice!! ) 🎈🎉👍✨👌😄
Wow you sure did a complete test on these fragrances. We really appreciate all this work you put into it. Could you next time maybe just at lease use one wax that is all soy. Thank you so much for all you do.
Hi, thanks for the video! Do you use Vybar when you do your testing? I thought it was a UV inhibitor, but does it boost hot throw? I see a lot of confusing comments online, but I trust your expertise :)
Whatever I plan to use in my final product I use in testing. I only use vybar with certain products. Most don't need it or already have it. You would want to ask your supplier or manufacturer if it already includes vybar. But yes...I test with whatever I plan to be in the final product.:)
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks, we are using igi6006 only. I figured it already has what it needs, but all of these proprietary blends are a mystery to me. I saw your 6006 video (the blue spruce?) and I thought you added Vybar to it. You mentioned about it preserving the integrity of the color, but I keep hearing about it helping the hot throw.
@@theangrykitten Ok gotcha. What I added to the 6006 was UV Inhibitor which help slow down color fading from UV light over time. You wouldn't want to add Vybar to 6006 as it already has what it needs. :)
Hello Wade I was wondering where you get your wick holders from? I love those because they look like they center your wicks nicely. I also wanted to let you know your family and your sister are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks Caleb. I appreciate that very much. I got many of these years ago from peak candle supply but they are no longer in business (I believe). But recently I purchased more from acandleco.com (I think is the correct address)
So I went to order those wick holders and you have to have a minimum order of $500...so I don't have them yet lol. Also, where did you get your big wax melter and does it keep your wax at a consistent 200°? Thanks Wade
@@MochaVR8011 Hey Caleb. Hmmm, I have ordered lots from acandleco and there was no minimum order. I just visited the site again and still no minimum. They sell the wick holders in 50 packs: www.acandleco.com/Wholesale-Candle-Packaging-and-Candle-Making-Supplies_c_160.html Unless we are talking about different things. But my last order was for only $66. :) The wax melter you saw is a digiboil, you can find them several places but I also have this model from Amazon. They are basically all the same, just rebranded: amzn.to/3ckTgJE
@@BlackTieBarn Hey Wade I used the link you sent me and I was able to order them. It's crazy because the other day it didn't come up showing that I could order them without a minimum order. Thank you so much and I look forward to getting them in the mail. I hope things are going well for your sister.
OMG I'm gonna cry, lavender is my favourite ALTHOOUUGGHH😅 now i get it, my life partner always saying to me: "i can't tell if its Stormi's kitty litter or the purple candles" 🤯 i looked at him with venom in my eyes🤣 What can i add to lavender to get that so called kitty litter, smell away, that i can't smell but others do, please help😅 Its like the coriander, life partner loves it, to me it taste like soap.🤢
I've noticed that in several of your videos there are flat panel displays in the shot. Can I suggest that instead of having them off or on to nothing pertinent that you display your business logo and name? JMO
Hey Mike. Thanks for the tip. That was a temporary setup so I didn't put a ton of time or thought into the setup. I did have a graphic or logo I'm several of them though. Just forgot to do so in the others. I use that space for other things as well. Thansk for the tip though. I appreciate ut
Iam wondering about your choices in scent reviews. I have a company called JUST SCENTS and I personally have bought more scents from this company then any other one.In talking to many others the order from there as well.Iam shocked Ive never seen then mentioned in any way what so ever.This makes me suspicious as to your motivation in picking companys to review,Btw this is not meant to be sarcastic in any way , I just was hoping you would give me your take on this and I am hoping this is not a money making avent for you. Once again, I hope I can ask you without you getting upset!
I don't have any motivation in who I choose. I review the ones I use or that are sent to me. That is all. I can't possibly review the thousand of FO companies out there. So I review the oils I use myself or that are sent to me. I get no monetary value from the reviews. They aren't sponsored. I'm not paid to review FOs from. Candle science for example. I just review what I have or what is sent. Companies reach out to me, not the other way around. So they can send me something to review if they want. But I don't currently use their oils so I have nothing to review.

ProBlend 600 is slab form and is a container wax. Two different waxes. :)

I had to laugh 😂 about the santal and coconut because I felt the same way.. I love it now. Have you tried the pineapple sage you want regret it ❤️
I have and love it! Will be adding it to my line in near future! :)
I just ordered black coral and moss, waiting patiently for it! If you could add a scent to this fragrance what would it be?
Hmm
Good question. Maybe a cotton or fresh scent. Or be brave and try something crazy like a cherry. 😁
I am trying to find a video you did where u made general labels and then put in the name later. So you were able to order a larger amount of labels. Can u help with that. I am really wanting to just order a bulk of labels and put in the name when the batch is complete. Thank you.
;)

@@BlackTieBarn Thank u very much.
What is your recommended percentage FO to be used? I've tried 10% with soy wax, but it doesn't give a good HT 😢
Oih btw i love the shirt 👍💖
Lol. Thanks!
what a great vedio
Ty! :)
I appreciate seeing the reviews of the fragrances in both the bottle and then in the finished product. If Applepepercorn is a " mean" red- next time try a " Ruby" . 😉🤣 ( Congratulations on 10.2k subscribers- I know you estimated March 15, but you hit it 3 days early- Nice!! ) 🎈🎉👍✨👌😄
😁 Thanks Ruby. :)
What was that wick tool you used in the beginning?
I think it's called a wick setter. I show it in some of my demonstration videos as well. :)
Wow you sure did a complete test on these fragrances. We really appreciate all this work you put into it. Could you next time maybe just at lease use one wax that is all soy. Thank you so much for all you do.
Yep!. I didn't have any on hand. Sorry. :/
No need to be sorry. So grateful for all u do.
What was that thing that you used to wick the candles?
Wick setter. Google it or check Amazon. But when I bought mine years ago it was from either lonestar candle or candle science. Can't recall now. 😁
Hi, thanks for the video! Do you use Vybar when you do your testing? I thought it was a UV inhibitor, but does it boost hot throw? I see a lot of confusing comments online, but I trust your expertise :)
Whatever I plan to use in my final product I use in testing. I only use vybar with certain products. Most don't need it or already have it. You would want to ask your supplier or manufacturer if it already includes vybar.
But yes...I test with whatever I plan to be in the final product.:)
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks, we are using igi6006 only. I figured it already has what it needs, but all of these proprietary blends are a mystery to me. I saw your 6006 video (the blue spruce?) and I thought you added Vybar to it. You mentioned about it preserving the integrity of the color, but I keep hearing about it helping the hot throw.
@@theangrykitten Ok gotcha. What I added to the 6006 was UV Inhibitor which help slow down color fading from UV light over time. You wouldn't want to add Vybar to 6006 as it already has what it needs. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you! I just finished watching your Vybar video. Now I get it! :)
@@theangrykitten no problem at all!
Hello Wade I was wondering where you get your wick holders from? I love those because they look like they center your wicks nicely. I also wanted to let you know your family and your sister are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks Caleb. I appreciate that very much.
I got many of these years ago from peak candle supply but they are no longer in business (I believe). But recently I purchased more from acandleco.com (I think is the correct address)
So I went to order those wick holders and you have to have a minimum order of $500...so I don't have them yet lol. Also, where did you get your big wax melter and does it keep your wax at a consistent 200°? Thanks Wade
@@MochaVR8011 Hey Caleb. Hmmm, I have ordered lots from acandleco and there was no minimum order. I just visited the site again and still no minimum. They sell the wick holders in 50 packs: www.acandleco.com/Wholesale-Candle-Packaging-and-Candle-Making-Supplies_c_160.html
Unless we are talking about different things. But my last order was for only $66. :)
The wax melter you saw is a digiboil, you can find them several places but I also have this model from Amazon. They are basically all the same, just rebranded: amzn.to/3ckTgJE
@@BlackTieBarn
Hey Wade I used the link you sent me and I was able to order them. It's crazy because the other day it didn't come up showing that I could order them without a minimum order. Thank you so much and I look forward to getting them in the mail. I hope things are going well for your sister.
@@MochaVR8011 np! And thank you. Appreciate that... and your order!
Wow! $800+?! One day I will be ordering big😃
Lol. Yah it's good and bad. My normal orders wth them are around 2k. Lol
And actually I spent another $900 with 3 there suppliers this same day. 😬 lol
👍🏻

OMG I'm gonna cry, lavender is my favourite ALTHOOUUGGHH😅

Hi sir good day
Sir pleas tell me
Thanks so much, by the way you don't have to prove yourself to me. I can see you practice what you preach.
Thanks Laura! :)

I've noticed that in several of your videos there are flat panel displays in the shot. Can I suggest that instead of having them off or on to nothing pertinent that you display your business logo and name? JMO
Hey Mike. Thanks for the tip. That was a temporary setup so I didn't put a ton of time or thought into the setup. I did have a graphic or logo I'm several of them though. Just forgot to do so in the others. I use that space for other things as well. Thansk for the tip though. I appreciate ut
@@BlackTieBarn You have been the "go to" on UA-cam for candle making. Thanks for your time and help.
Thanks Mike. I appreciate the support. Glad to help!
Lezz be real. Black coral & moss is the illegitimate child of Black sea and Oakmoss & amber.
🤣😂
Iam wondering about your choices in scent reviews. I have a company called JUST SCENTS and I personally have bought more scents from this company then any other one.In talking to many others the order from there as well.Iam shocked Ive never seen then mentioned in any way what so ever.This makes me suspicious as to your motivation in picking companys to review,Btw this is not meant to be sarcastic in any way , I just was hoping you would give me your take on this and I am hoping this is not a money making avent for you. Once again, I hope I can ask you without you getting upset!
I don't have any motivation in who I choose. I review the ones I use or that are sent to me. That is all. I can't possibly review the thousand of FO companies out there. So I review the oils I use myself or that are sent to me.
I get no monetary value from the reviews. They aren't sponsored. I'm not paid to review FOs from. Candle science for example. I just review what I have or what is sent. Companies reach out to me, not the other way around. So they can send me something to review if they want. But I don't currently use their oils so I have nothing to review.
