I'm really liking Midwest Fragrance Co. Lower prices, faster shipping, and larger sample sizes. I love their 'Black Sea' fragrance and I just made some candles with their 'Sea Salt and Orchid' fragrance that I'm waiting to cure so that I can test them.
Erica..I really appreciate the fact that you dont gatekeep. At the end of the day, each person will still have to test. I learn alot from you..keep up the good job
Erica thank you for sharing this video. We’re all candlemakers and we’re all here to help each other so when you provide information like this it is very helpful. I really like when you mentioned your reasons why you like some companies over others or fragrances over others. It’s very helpful and you’re right there are so many fragrance companies out there lol. I am starting to experiment with 16/17 fragrances. They’re only an hour away from me Thank you for continuing to give value to us between you, Stanley and Wade. I have learned so much about candlemaking in the past year.
Your videos are always very informative ❤. However, the amount of fragrance oil recommendations in the comment section is unmatched, I read every comment and make notes 📝. Thank you to every candle maker in the comments dropping gems 💎. ❤❤❤
I started the candlemaking journey recently, after doing engineering design for a client making candles industrially. I'm learning a lot from your content, thanks!
I’ve been looking into making candles for about 2 months now and doing research about the difference between waxes, fragrances etc.. what I’m not sure of is if it’s better to use a electric wax melter electronic plate or if it’s best to use a wax warmer. It’s too much information out there but your videos are well detailed and definitely inspiring me to start now lol.
Erika, I am lucky that the Flaming Candle is a state away. And I LOVE Midwest Fragrance company. They're shipping is excellent and very reasonable. Very dastardly turn around. If I order by noon Monday, it's here Wednesday or Thursday. 😊
Candlescience is probably 95% to this point for me of what I've tried and actually ended up using. They have a few stinkers, but I really do like a lot of their stuff. However, a true vanilla is one I'm still hunting for. That seems to be a scent that evades everyone I've tried so far. I really wish I could find more pure scents that aren't pre-mixed because I like to create my own scents.
I totally agree Candle Science by far is the most Amazing! I'm only about 45 minutes from the NC warehouse so even when I'm not able to drive over the shipping isn't bad at all. I Love their scents so much!
I love Candle Science too! And have several nice oils from TFC as well. I recently started testing a few from Midwest Fragrance Company and have been impressed there as well.
Thinking about your Battle of the Vanilla’s … have you tried General Wax in North Hollywood? I really like their French Vanilla. I blend it, but still think it’s good on its own.
This is great info, thank you! I hope to start making candles as a hobby for now. I’m in Canada and wouldn’t mind trying some suppliers in the US just to see what they’re like, what shipping may be like, along with duty and exchange. I often avoid buying from the US like the plague for those reasons, but sometimes it can still be cheaper and worth it.
I live so close to California Candle Supply. They are helpful and have patience with lots of questions they will also recommend and guide you.. Customer service is amazing and friendly. Highly recommend.
Vanilla was so hard for me to find the right one! CS very vanilla was too foody, I tried just about every vanilla type from FC, but they weren’t very strong. Finally settled on vanilla from Lonestar.
I love love the flaming company. Alway get my Palo Santo patchouli from them. I bought blood orange from CS and used in candles and soap and it’s strong and nice. For tobacco I always go to WSS plus and get Bourboned tobacco from them. It’s my number one seller in anything I made with that fragrance from lotions to bath bombs. Not my personal preference honestly, but can’t be without it. I tried to discontinue it due to the price increase and my sales went down a lot.
Hi there , I have been watching you for a while and your videos have helped me a lot . I have a question and maybe you can help me out . I am a new candle business owner and would like to know would I need one UPC for each scented candle ? Each scent will have a UPC? Or would one UPC for all my candles work?
Do you know where 16/17 gets their packaging paper ? Can’t wait to hear about their fragrances . Fellow Cali girl in chino hills .going to ccs this Thursday!

you are lucky to live that close to one of their warehouses! I wish I could get rid of shipping charges - so expensive!!!
I love Candle Science too! And have several nice oils from TFC as well. I recently started testing a few from Midwest Fragrance Company and have been impressed there as well.

Thank you so much. This is very helpful.
I just bought a sample pack from Flaming Candle. I like how they have a choose your own so you can get whatever 12 you want to sample. :)
Thank you for all the info ! 👏
Vanilla was so hard for me to find the right one! CS very vanilla was too foody, I tried just about every vanilla type from FC, but they weren’t very strong. Finally settled on vanilla from Lonestar.
Thanks for listing this. I love vanilla for my personal candles and I keep striking out with vanillas
I prefer Maple Street and Midwest. They are a little more diverse.
I like them too
I love love the flaming company. Alway get my Palo Santo patchouli from them. I bought blood orange from CS and used in candles and soap and it’s strong and nice.

Girl I like you but you’re too basic 😂
