First. Kidding! :) Hey all, thanks for stopping by. This one is a but long but packed with reviews, making test candles, talking wicks, hot throw, and more. These fragrances by Little Bee Scents are great too! Excellent quality! Let me know what you think and also your interest in a future "fragrance review/making test candles" video a LIVE one. Thanks for being here!
@@tiffanygrimsely14 Lol. Hey Tiffany.... FO prices have a wide range (just like FO quality). Yes.. SOME of their oils are more expensive and some are not at all. They have oils around $20 per pound just like everyone else. But they also have some that are like $40+ due to the complexity or the ingredients. Most companies make oils based on a price range. This will mean some are good and some not so good. In this case they choose oils they are happy with and whatever that price is.... it is. Which means high quality oils across the board (some more pricey than others). Also, many makers are looking for the highest quality anyway, particularly if running a luxury line so they intentionally are looking for the higher range anyway. Something different for everyone. But I definitely wouldn't 't say NOT to shop there. More than anything though, just sharing my feedback and having fun making candles with you all. :)
YES!! PLEAZE LIVE, bUT YOU TOOK MY IDEA, JK, I HAVENT STARTED YET, AND TERRIFIED OF BEING ON CAMERA, BUT IM NEW & JUST STARTING MY JOURNEY WITH CANDLES.. SO I THOUGHT ID DO LIVE VLOGGING STYLE & GET SUGGESTIONS & HELP FROM OTHER ARTIST, SOAP, CANDLE MAKER ECT..
I just started making candles and want to turn it into a business one day. All of your videos have been extremely helpful and full of knowledge that I did not have. I am learning a ton watching all the videos. Thank you for all you do in helping beginners produce quality products. Cant wait for more videos to come out.
I'm pretty new here I think I found you around like March/April and I love it here. Everything I have watched has been so helpful and I have grown alot in my own journey so Thank you x
Omg the "hello my future self" got me lol.😂 Brought out the comedy with this one! 😁 I'd definitely tune in if you do these reviews live, sounds like a start to something.
YES, please to a live!! I was testing some candle scents today myself 😃 I’ll definitely have to check this company out..I love different type scents..I’m hoping they have a few, like the radish! 😁
So, I'm pretty new to your channel. I'm not a candle maker. I don't even burn candles... But I love your videos! Sir, you elevate the "dad joke" and it's gold! I personally love the idea of a live videos. Thanks for the fun! Looking forward to more 😎
yeah i honestly can't wait. I just have to figure out how to make them shorter. Lol. No one wants to hear me for half an hour unless its a full course. Ha!
I find you very entertaining and fun! You also give a lot of great information which helps us as future customers give us an idea of what to buy. It also allows us to find new websites. That was very good. Thank you for everything. I like your idea of direct try online.
Thanks for your review video on the fragrance oils. I had a light bulb moment when you talked about wicks, hot throw and dense fragrance oils. I’ll look forward to your YT lives if you choose to have them.
Love the purple radish , red radish is over rated ! I was thinking cool free wick suggestions and then realized I use the controversial 464 wax . Lol !blessings .
Lives are always fun even if we can’t be there, but funnier when we can for all of us. I would say Radish is the most intriguing for myself as well LOL
Hi Wade, thanks for the video. Watching you make so many testers, I have a suggestion for another video: Could you take some time to talk about how you prevent waste? Be it what you do with your testers, used jars, how you dispose of empty FO bottles (it can't be put in regular garbage, I'm assuming)... and how you prevent the use of too much plastic in your packaging, and in general. That would be great if you could give us tips! Thanks!
Really fun video , I’m definitely excited to seeing the reviews on all of the fragrances in the future, and definitely loving the unique scents , and a live would be awesome!! I would definitely join in , thanks for another really fun and informative video! And yeah the hello to my future self had me hysterical while pouring tea lights 🤣
I love review of scent companys with very unique blends. I love some of Wooden Wick's but the price tag is so expensive. As soo as I saw this today I went to the site and started a big order. I just love scents that you normally don't see out in the wild. lol THANK YOU!
Was so pleasantly surprised to see you reviewing these. I just started trying some of these fragrances myself a couple of weeks ago. Great customer service and fast shipping. I’ve just made Blitzens Breath myself. Awesome video.
A live review of the fragrance oils sounds awesome. I would definitely tune in. I think it would be fun. I can't wait for you to sniff the carrot scent. I really want to know if it actually smells like a carrot 🥕 lol 😆. Nice video as always!
I absolutely love Little Bee Scents! The fragrances are high-quality and many unique. Marsha has the most authentic Magnolia oil, hands down. And Petrichor...The best! There are so many they carry I can name that are wonderful, unique, and perform very well. So, I'm looking forward to seeing more of these reviews and hearing your thoughts...and more of your dad jokes.
Totally understand. Just love sharing and making candles with everyone. That is also why I try to add more into these videos (even if poor attempt at humor sometimes) so that its worth watching the videos even if not interested in the materials at the moment. :)
Hey Wade, have you reviewed any more of these fragrance oils(can't find the videos if you have)? Looking forward to seeing what other scents she has, radish has definitely picqued my interest!! TIA 🙃
@@BlackTieBarn looking forward to seeing them all! Your channel is the best...honestly, the content you share is so generous. Appreciate you hugely brother, thank you 💛
Thank you so very much Wade. You are such an entertainer. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to you testing all the oils over time. And yes it would be great fun to do it live. Sadly being on the other side of the world I’ll probably would not be able to participate given the time difference. 😁😂👍
Ohhh boy!! I was eating my dinner and nearly choked! Loving the Dad jokes, keep them coming Wade. I'd love to do a live but I think the time difference will be an issue for me unfortunately. I'm no night owl anymore,can barely make it past 9pm 😂
Thanks for all of your videos, Wade. I've learned a lot through your channel. One thing I was curious about was what do you do to minimize waste during your candle-making process? Do you reuse/repurpose empty fragrance old bottles? Dyes bottles? What do you do with all of your test candles? Test wicks?
Thanks Alvin. I reuse jars etc for testing. Old bottles i will sometimes clean out and repurpose to hold something else or to experiment moving fragrances.
Thanks Wade 👩🏻🦰🐝🌿🌸🥥 I’m excited to check them out. Campfire 🔥 & Coffee ☕️ right up my ally-I live in the redwoods, Radish for shizzle! Looking forward to the next installment 👩🏻🦰🐝🌸🌿✨
@@BlackTieBarn well one of the companies has a baby bib lettuce which smells amazing & fresh cut grass amazing especially with wildflowers from another company.
Hey wade, I recieved the lighter today. works good for hard to reach burned down candle wicks. Thanks again for the lighter and another great video! hehe :)
Hey Wade, loved the video, it's amazing how many unusual named oils there are out there. Will you be testing the other oils too? You make candles making look so easy. I made 6 more candles last night for testing. I'm still trying to find my first successful formula, wish me luck 🙂
Omg, how can you not like onions or mayonnaise 😅. Would love to join a Live. I was hoping you would say that the chipotle caramel smelled just like Chipotle, oh well. FYI, you are killing it with the jokes 😁.
Great review. I will have to try some of the Little Bee Scents. I feel you do really good reviews. What do you think of Soy 10 wax? Thanks again for yet another great video!
Thanks Joan. Honestly... never tried it. I am hesitant using a material from only one supplier, especially on other side of country from me AND they have been out or low on stock most times I looked. But, sounds like a descent wax. Wouldn't mind trying it sometime for the channel
Hello Wade! I asked you around Christmas time, if you have ever tried White Birch, from CS? Just wondering if you finally did? "You know Dasher & Dancer, Prancer & Vixen, Comet & Cupid, Donner & Blitzen, but do you know the most famous reindeer of all?" It's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
@@BlackTieBarn Wade, I have another topic I think is important & would be great for someone with your reach, to do a video. May I contact you regarding this?
Hey Leslie. No worries. It's mentioned sporadically throughout several videos.... but honestly, I use a few. Mostly using PB 600 recently and for testing.
I'm a new viewer who is thinking of getting into casual candlemaking, loving your video's, super informative :) How many times do you say "radish" in this video haha
I checked out her site. Thank you. Question, what is meant by Top Note Middle note and bottom note in the description along with other scent? I've seen this in other people's notes before with a fragrance I don't know quite what that means is that a mixture.
Notes is just a term that describes fragrance in general (not just candles necessarily). Fragrance oils are comprised of different scent notes throughout. Top notes are the notes you often pick up first but more volatile. Base notes are the foundation of the scent. This is the prominent part of the scent that everything else is based upon. Middle notes help bring everything together. Often help to soften more intent scents like lemon or sometimes help to boost other scents that are normally soft. They all work together to make up a fragrance oil
@@jamesjustice859 Hey James, I am not quire sure I understand what you are asking. Notes are simply the ingredients and components of a fragrance oil. You can get a rough idea sometimes based off the notes as to what something might smell like. But you really cant know for sure without smelling the fragrance oil yourself. Or... someone created a very good and vivid description. All notes working together differently to make unique fragrances. Many people just like the notes listed (some places may require it, I am not sure). But there is no real way to know what a scent is going to smell like purely from the note profile. One simple note change can make the entire fragrance smell different from a similar one. As far as adding notes to make a fragrance... I am not sure what you mean. You add fragrance oils to your wax to make candles. Notes are just part of that fragrance oil. Like water and oxygen in H2O I guess.
@@BlackTieBarn That answers my question thank you. Talking just fragrance I was confirming the notes to be the mixture of oils to make the new fragrance. Thank you. You have been a great help to me in learning and starting my candle and melt business this coming year.
@@BlackTieBarn in this video though, are you using just the pouring pitcher on a warmer or a burner, or did you transfer the wax from a larger melter to there?
I think the burner you’re referring to is actually his scale. He uses a digiboiler in the back it keeps the wax melted then he pours it hot from there into the pouring pitcher and sets it on the scale to measure FO.
My wax was melting in a digiboil melter this time. But use a few different supplies. I have video on my channel about supplies. Check it out if you want. :)
Great question! So... honestly, either is fine and they are very close to the same amounts. My advice would be to just stay consistent with your method. I prefer the method you mentioned because I know the total amount of "fill" I want. I know the total so I divide that by 1 × the percentage of FO. Example you mentioned would be... I need 24oz total for 4 candles at a 9% FO load. 24 ÷ 1.09 = 22 (wax amount) 24 - 22 = 2 (FO amount) It's just preference but I find that more practical... useful. :)
Hi can you reuse candle wax and just put in new fragrance s and a new colour I am not doing this for resale just got a lot of old candles and I have never burnt them but the smell as gone and some are melted or can I make wax melts as well thanks 😊
Sure, if you aren't selling it.... mix and match all you want! Have fun with it. I usually just burn for personal use, whatever I dont use. OR... use them in firestarters. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you so much I have been binge watching your channel and I am loving all your videos and making lots of notes on what I need you are doing the community a massive favour with your informative channel thanks again 😃
Hi Wade... This may be a very simplistic question but I trying to figure out how you knew you had 6 ounces of wax in your pour pot. I saw where you poured it from but how did you measure it- I know you've been doing this for a while.. Did you just eye it? Thanks
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks... I guess you edited that out. I only saw you walk to the dispenser, pour and return which made me wondering if you were using the pour pot measuring tapes from Standley.. because if so, I was going to ask how they were holding up.. Thanks
Do you add uv inhibitor to every batch or just when you use color? I’m also curious what you do with your testers. I burn all mine all the way down and reuse the jars. I constantly reuse the same 30 jars or so as testers but I also clean them out very well between batches. And mayo is awesome in my opinion 🙃
Just to know how it will burn for consistency, I use UV Inhibitor if I ever might use color as part of that jar/fo/wax combo. If will never color it, then I don't. Testers.... I reuse for tester when I get around to cleaning them out. I have over 1500 testers still boxed up waiting Tobe cleaned snd repurposed. Lol
Holy cannoli! Time to hire staff! 🙃 So, you don’t use uv inhibitor even if a fragrance contains vanillan or do you just avoid those fragrances altogether? I use uv inhibitor in every batch I make and I’m wondering now if I shouldn’t unless I use dye or a fragrance with vanillan. I’m kind of confused on this.
@@MushroomAngel I use it most of the time yes. But, UV inhibitor doesn't really help with discoloration caused by vanillin. Its purpose to help with fading caused by UV light. There is nothing in it to help with vanillin unfortunately. But it doesn't hurt to use it in everything. And yes... I have a little help already. Need more soon. Lol
I make gel candles but there isn't much information on working with gel wax. I'm currently testing wicks and F.O. Can u please help me out with a video on anything you may know about gel wax ?
@@ItsJessie915 yep, at least in this video. It just depends. For video purposes I do things differently sometimes. I have my standard "processes" I stick to when making final products though. :)
Hi. This is more a fragrance review video but yes I have testing videos on the channel and my testing process. Also, I test others candles in many videos as well. :)
Ha. Thanks Susan. I have a couple people that instantly give it thumbs down PM nearly every Video. I know who one of them is. It's okay. Doesn't bother me. Let haters hate. 🤣
For sure. There is a range of oil prices out there. Most using these are more niche based and aiming for lux feel. But there are some WAY more expensive than these. These I withe say are nestled somewhere in the middle, higher middle
yeah, some of them are. Some aren't. Prices have a range so do quality so I like to try them all. It is very evident these are exceptional quality and I can use less. At least based on my experience so far. Where i would normally use 10%, 8 seems plenty. But, I have 57 more to test. Ha!
Have you ever tried midwest fragrance company? My wife and I are in the beginning stages of our candle company and that is the first place we bought our fragrances from. Though we haven't tried any others for a comparison yet, I'd have to say that I enjoy their fragrances oils. We do plan on sending you some of our products in the very near future for a review. We love your channel, keep up the good work
@@jaysoncoppieters8075 I have not. They are a fairly new company but I have heard positive things so far. I'd certainly be interested in trying them. Hoping they contact me at some point. I don't personally like to reach out and ask.... as I don't want to presume. So I generally, wait until suppliers contact me. :)

@@BlackTieBarn That answers my question thank you. Talking just fragrance I was confirming the notes to be the mixture of oils to make the new fragrance. Thank you. You have been a great help to me in learning and starting my candle and melt business this coming year.
Wade, what is the long metal thing you pour the oils on ?
great
Ty!
You’re a great educator. Can I ask why you aren’t using a double boiler to melt the wax or is that just a warmer??
Like most I started eith a double boiler but transitioned to larger tanks as I scaled.
@@BlackTieBarn in this video though, are you using just the pouring pitcher on a warmer or a burner, or did you transfer the wax from a larger melter to there?
I think the burner you’re referring to is actually his scale. He uses a digiboiler in the back it keeps the wax melted then he pours it hot from there into the pouring pitcher and sets it on the scale to measure FO.
Wade, have you tested with happy camper yet? I’m having such a hard time with that one
I have not. I am so buried right now its unbelievable..... lol. But definitely will as soon as I can. :)
Still waiting but @13:58 😂😂😂. Wayne I missed the wax that you are using to test these oils?
Problend 600
Wade, How you gonna get banana nut bread outta chipotle caramel? 🤔 great! Now I have to buy it just so I can see for myself. Hold please........
I have NO idea!! But I went to my banana nut bread.... and very close. 🤣
Great video. I’m very very new to candle making, what type of melting plate you were using?
My wax was melting in a digiboil melter this time. But use a few different supplies. I have video on my channel about supplies. Check it out if you want. :)
When you add the FO, do you subtract it from the total amount of wax? For example, for a total of 12 oz and 9% it’ll be 11oz wax and 1oz FO?
Great question! So... honestly, either is fine and they are very close to the same amounts. My advice would be to just stay consistent with your method. I prefer the method you mentioned because I know the total amount of "fill" I want. I know the total so I divide that by 1 × the percentage of FO.
Example you mentioned would be...
I need 24oz total for 4 candles at a 9% FO load.
24 ÷ 1.09 = 22 (wax amount)
24 - 22 = 2 (FO amount)
It's just preference but I find that more practical... useful. :)
A live review would be great.
Thanks Natasha!
Hi can you reuse candle wax and just put in new fragrance s and a new colour I am not doing this for resale just got a lot of old candles and I have never burnt them but the smell as gone and some are melted or can I make wax melts as well thanks 😊
Sure, if you aren't selling it.... mix and match all you want! Have fun with it. I usually just burn for personal use, whatever I dont use. OR... use them in firestarters. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you so much I have been binge watching your channel and I am loving all your videos and making lots of notes on what I need you are doing the community a massive favour with your informative channel thanks again 😃
@@nadiabeautyo7107 Thanks so much Nadia!
Hi so he let them cure for a day then filmed 10’days later. Just trying to understand when did he test. 1 day out or 10’days out
I usually test for a few days later than again after a couple weeks
Hi Wade... This may be a very simplistic question but I trying to figure out how you knew you had 6 ounces of wax in your pour pot. I saw where you poured it from but how did you measure it- I know you've been doing this for a while.. Did you just eye it? Thanks
Just weighted it on the scale. :) put pot on and tare it to 0. Then add wax until 6oz. :)
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks... I guess you edited that out. I only saw you walk to the dispenser, pour and return which made me wondering if you were using the pour pot measuring tapes from Standley.. because if so, I was going to ask how they were holding up.. Thanks
Do you add uv inhibitor to every batch or just when you use color?
I’m also curious what you do with your testers. I burn all mine all the way down and reuse the jars. I constantly reuse the same 30 jars or so as testers but I also clean them out very well between batches.
And mayo is awesome in my opinion 🙃
Just to know how it will burn for consistency, I use UV Inhibitor if I ever might use color as part of that jar/fo/wax combo. If will never color it, then I don't.
Testers.... I reuse for tester when I get around to cleaning them out. I have over 1500 testers still boxed up waiting Tobe cleaned snd repurposed. Lol
Holy cannoli! Time to hire staff! 🙃
So, you don’t use uv inhibitor even if a fragrance contains vanillan or do you just avoid those fragrances altogether?
I use uv inhibitor in every batch I make and I’m wondering now if I shouldn’t unless I use dye or a fragrance with vanillan. I’m kind of confused on this.
@@MushroomAngel I use it most of the time yes. But, UV inhibitor doesn't really help with discoloration caused by vanillin. Its purpose to help with fading caused by UV light. There is nothing in it to help with vanillin unfortunately. But it doesn't hurt to use it in everything.
And yes... I have a little help already. Need more soon. Lol
What kind of wax and wick were use did you use for these jars
I believe it was problend600
I make gel candles but there isn't much information on working with gel wax. I'm currently testing wicks and F.O. Can u please help me out with a video on anything you may know about gel wax ?
I have very little experience so far with gel wax l. But it is on my radar
Would testing fragrance oils be okay to try in melts first?
so when you are testing your candles after you weigh the wax do you tare out the scale completely and then add the FO
For sure. Oil should be weighed or measured out separately
@@BlackTieBarn that’s what I do. But I saw that you kept the pitcher of wax on the scale and then tare out the scale and then you added your FO
@@ItsJessie915 yep, at least in this video. It just depends. For video purposes I do things differently sometimes. I have my standard "processes" I stick to when making final products though. :)
@@BlackTieBarn what wax do you use to make your candles
Do u order your wax and fragrances overseas? Can share where u buy yours?
Do you have a wick and Fo testing video start to finish?
Hi. This is more a fragrance review video but yes I have testing videos on the channel and my testing process. Also, I test others candles in many videos as well. :)
PS. How dare 2 people gave it thumbs down. Obviously they have no sense of humour or adventure.
Ha. Thanks Susan. I have a couple people that instantly give it thumbs down PM nearly every Video. I know who one of them is. It's okay. Doesn't bother me. Let haters hate. 🤣
What parasoy do you normally test with?
Usually problend 600 these days
Dad jokes forever 🤣
😂🤣😉
Yeah unless you're wholesaling that's going to be pretty expensive. $38 for 16oz 😮
For sure. There is a range of oil prices out there. Most using these are more niche based and aiming for lux feel. But there are some WAY more expensive than these. These I withe say are nestled somewhere in the middle, higher middle
@@BlackTieBarn for me, being a very tiny operation, is beyond my reach. I agree there are way more expensive ones.
Whats the white power you put in your candle ?
Uv inhibitor
COMET.
Yes! Lol
Very pricey fragrance oil
yeah, some of them are. Some aren't. Prices have a range so do quality so I like to try them all. It is very evident these are exceptional quality and I can use less. At least based on my experience so far. Where i would normally use 10%, 8 seems plenty. But, I have 57 more to test. Ha!
Have you ever tried midwest fragrance company? My wife and I are in the beginning stages of our candle company and that is the first place we bought our fragrances from. Though we haven't tried any others for a comparison yet, I'd have to say that I enjoy their fragrances oils. We do plan on sending you some of our products in the very near future for a review. We love your channel, keep up the good work
@@jaysoncoppieters8075 I have not. They are a fairly new company but I have heard positive things so far. I'd certainly be interested in trying them. Hoping they contact me at some point. I don't personally like to reach out and ask.... as I don't want to presume. So I generally, wait until suppliers contact me. :)
YOUR SO SILLY, YOUR CRACKIN ME UP..
🤣
That stinks to me
Which one?
