Hi Wade..I wanted to let you know that this format of reviewing new scents is fantastic! I appreciated that you took the time to really go over each scent and even make comparisons to similar scents that Candlescience offers. I am definitely going to try Christmas Hearth! Thanks ☺️
Thanks so much Betty!
Thumbs for the new format. Thanks for another great video.
Also thank you for testing and sharing your burning thoughts because I hate when folks claim they are testing but then they just make them. Lol it’s like hold up you missed the part that I came here for lol
Lol yah I hear ya. I want you all to follow along not just for trust reasons but I just find it more enjoyable. I try to make videos that I would want to watch. Sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't. Lol
🤣🤣 Wade; "I'm going to add another drop of orange, we're gonna gamble here" that had me laughing out loud here, at 5 in the morning. 🤣🤣🤣
I love experimenting with color, I get that, love your work Wade!!
🤣🤣 thanks!
Thanks Wade. Loved the new format. Your videos are always great and very informative, but I really appreciated that you also referenced so many other FOs when talking about each new scent. As someone who works with FOs (as I'm sure most of your audience does) it was super valuable info and provided a much deeper frame of reference. Really appreciate all that you do!
Thank you for noticing and appreciating that. I am glad it helped. Thanks for being here
I liked the new format. I appreciate all of your hard work.
Ty scott
I appreciate the knowledge you share as i can use it even if i am not doing jar candles. Thanks for all you do for us!!! I have a friend testing my candles for me and it seems that i found the right wick! yay me!
Awesome!
I like the new format. Thanks Wade.
Thanks sherry
I Iike this type of fragrance testing more
Thanks Tiffany!
Love this video.
Prefer this format compared to other reviews. Also like you sharing other FO from the line that you like or the FO reminds you of. Great analysis job!
Thanks Rita!
Hello Wade. I like this review format. It’s nice to focus on each one through out.
Great. Thank you!
Love this new format! I always learn something new. Appreciate your videos!
Thanks kimberley!
Either format is fine with me, and woodland snow sounds good. Thanks so much!
Thanks Laura
Wade, thank you so much for your time and effort of your reviews. This method is so much easier to keep my ADHD mind focused on the scents on hand. You always do an awesome job either way. Love your videos💞
Thanks so much Melissa
I love this format so much better!! The previous videos were great but by the time we got to the testing part I had forgotten what you initially though about the scent. This format was very informative hand held my attention. Thank you.
Haha. That was my exact thought and why I wanted to try something different Thanks for the feedback! :)
Those scents sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing, Wade😊
No problem!
Thank you for a very interesting review. And you are right, it was much better watching you making the candles with new scents and talking about them. ❤️
Thanks so much!
Loving this format so much better. Allows for focus on one scent at a time and for me I can follow easier. Your vids are always so informative and I’ve learned tons from you so thanks and keep up the good work 👍🌟
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Wendy! :)
Love this review format! Great video!!
Great! Thank you!
I like this format, and I really love the commentary about comparing the scents to other CS products. PS....When you put on those gloves I feel like I'm watching an episode of Forensic Files
Haha. Thanks Lisa!
I love this format asa new beginner this gives me a clearer perspective thanks I will be watching more of your content
Wade, you do a great job on these reviews. I did find this format easier to follow. I found that I did not have to go back in the video to find the outcome for the specific scent(s) I was intrigued by. It made it way more organized for my information reception. I am trying to grow from a hobbyist to a small business without buying every fragrance that has a lovely description, and these reviews help so much.
Awesome. Thanks Michelle. Watching it back I found it easier to follow as well. Thanks so much
Thank you Wade. I’m ramping up for festivals for the first time 🤪. For me doing the testing this way was to fractionated for Me. Oh well change is always goin to happen 🥰🥳
Just mixing it up. Thanks so much for the feedback.:)
Hi Wade! Excited to see the results!
😁
Hi Wade, I am new here, never made a candle in my life but want to make wax melts to give as gifts this Christmas and I’m loving your videos. Sad I’m in the UK and don’t have access to CandleScience but I can make do. I really like this format of fully opening and closing each scent as you go along. Thanks for the content 👍🏼
Thanks Sheena. And no worries... great suppliers all over. ;) thanks for being here
I love the one at a time but I know that’s a ton of work so do what’s best for you. ♥️
Yah this one was more difficult to edit for sure but these types ate difficult anyway. That's ok though. I enjoy it
Thanks so much! Really enjoyed the way you went over them. My mom used to make waa-sl;)
Nice!
I did love this format and the reference to other FOs that are similar so we could use as a point of reference, especially not being able to smell them with you lol
I am not as familiar with FOs yet, but I am sure I will be one day. I also want to say thank you so much for your relaxed nature when it comes to color. I am scared of color, just trying to start out, but you make it seem not so stressful. I love your go with the flow approach to it, even tho I am also sure experience plays a major part in that too.
In short, THANK YOU!
Thanks Teanna. I am glad you enjoyed the format and appreciate the kind feedback
Wade, I really liked this format better!
Awesome. Thanks Jess
I was so excited for these! Not sure about the pear being in there but whatever. 😆 Thanks for the tip on Christmas Hearth! I haven’t smelled that one yet so I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for the video, I love it!!
Thanks Rebecca. I think the orchard pear was more fall orchard. It's just weird it always gets grouped with holiday in my opinion. Lol
I like this format of review, I think it’s more authentic to the true scents. This was an informative video although it was a difficult concentrating while reading your apron and thinking alter ego might pop out at any moment!😆😂🤣
Seriously I appreciate your videos, thank you!
🤣😁.... you just never know. Lol
I knew i would like the black cardamom when candle science released it. I am a cardamom fan and still insearch for a great green cardamom fo. Thank you for the indepth review.
I like it. :) and no problem!
candles and supplies has a green cardamom....never tried it
@@lisaguzzardi oooh! Thank you!
Giving points in 0.5 increments in 5 stars system is no different than giving single points in 10 stars system, its almost the same difference between a 3 or 3.5 out of 5 and a 6 or 7 out of 10. Just saying so cuz you said you simplified your grading system to be more solid on values yet you are almost between 3s and 3.5s :) I love your vibe, and your videos, Love from Greece!
Thank you. Yah i understand. I didn't intend on using any. 5s. Just worked out that way. But either way, it's still is easier for me to conceptualize on 5 point scale, for me anyway. I didn't mean one was right and the other was wrong. Just what I preferred is all
Hello Wade Thomas
I love this format better!!! I feel like I am in class. You are the teacherr and you are explaining everything you are doing so that I smell what you smell!!! Love it!!! I have I think 5 out of 7 of the new scents. I will have to definitely test them this weekend. I am a blender so it will be interesting to see what I will come up with for fall/winter line. I am not a big fall/winter scent person just because I too enjoy the spring and summer acenta the best!!! Thank you for these tutorials because I am learning alot. Which stirrer is better: wooden or plastic spoon?
Thanks Tamara. So happy you are enjoying the videos and this format. :)
As far as plastic or wooden. It's your choice. Just make sure the wooden is lhe kind you'd make for baking (sealed) so it isn't porous.
I cant wait to watch this!
😁
I loved the format btw. I just poured all of these testers while I watched your video. I'm excited to smell them for myself. I agree that Christmas Heart is an amazing scent!
@@joniinnocenti431 Awesome. Thanks Joni! Yes it is!
Thx for the reviews. Lots of work, editing
Thanks Laurie. :) yes... it... was. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn how’s the new building ?
@@lauriewilson4741 fine, but slow. Just haven't had much time. lol
@@BlackTieBarn you know…we’d all help you if we lived there 😁
So what's your recommendation with first starting out, in regards to testing candles? In this video and another you mentioned that you do the tester candles with a baseline wax and container, but if that's not the wax you use for the candles you sell, how does it help? Hopefully that question clearly conveys what I'm trying to ask
You should do Midwest fragrances as well
I plan to. I reached 0ut once. Feel free to recommend it to them. ;)
Hi! I love your videos they help a lot thank you!
I do have a question, when you test a candle do you burn it all the way? Or to a certain point?
Thanks! For testing hot throw, just a couple burns is fine. But I do full tests for sure before I decide on a sick or rollout as a finished product. :)
I wish i could get those wick setters but the company don't make them for the jars I use. I may reach out to them personally and see if they can make them for me since I need multiple sizes. 🙂
Yep. Tell them you saw them shown on my channel and that you are looking dor custom size. They are super good at making new ones for any jar. :)
very nice video.....in my attempts to continue better understanding wicking, would the premier work in the mason jars and the eco in the straight sided jar, why or why not. I know with wicking every choice has a reason, im just hoping to better understand those reasons hahah.....id also love to know what diameter these jars are and what size area you are testing them in so i can get a sense of the strength of HT to the overall size of the room your in (ie if you in a bathroom or small office then i know they are really weak or maybe to strong for that small of space but if your in the living room or the basement then i know that maybe theyd work well in a slightly smaller space and that the strong ones are good at filling a room and shouldnt be used in a tight space like bathroom)
I am a newby here. How do decide what to name your candle scents?
How do you clean the color and aroma out of the pot before you start the next candle?
Thank you for your valuable content. I do like this format. Great video. I went to the link for the wick holders but didn't see Black Tie Barn. Is yours custom or am I overlooking your company?
Mine is custom with that added you can have yours added if you'd like. Otherwise you can have it without customization
Good day. How are u. ? First I want to say thanks for the videos because I’m giving candle making another try thanks to your videos. I have a couple questions hope u can help me plz. I’m testing using the same 9oz jar and candle science libby straight sided jar. Diameter 3.0 and height 3.5. I’m thinking about getting pro blend 600 and igi6000. I will be purchasing and trying the same wicks u use for the 9oz jar. I can u suggest a wick for the libby jar. Thanks. What is the best wick for pro blend 600 and igi6006.
Hi I’m always watching your videos very educating about making candles. I’m working make candles from New York. And noticed how expensive are the essential oils and that popular website from most ppl buy the essential oils are out New York very expensive delivery as well. Can I used fragrance oil to make candles ??? Thank you so much for your time. 👍🙏
Yes. In fact fragrance oils arr more recommended for candles anyway as they are designed for thst purpose. I do not use essential oils
Hey, love your videos ....I was wondering, could you do a review on NATUREWAX C-3 please.
Yep. It's on the list! :)
@@BlackTieBarn oh thank you, cant wait
I love your information. Where did you get the big wax melter you often you? I see the small presto melter link, but not the big one you use.
It's called a digi boil. Smaller than large scale tank, bigger than Presto pot. Works great for moderate scale making. :)
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you
Almost everywhere else I read everyone says use a max of 6% fragrance... I know it depends on the kind of wax, to a degree. What does an Overscented candle look and perform like? Seeping?
The max on most waxes is definitely higher han 6%. Paraffin base waxes hover around 3-6% but those are uncommon these days as most are made with blends and additives. The majority of waxes these days hold anywhere up to 10%, many even more than that. I personally don't use higher load than thst as it introduces wicking issues and just becomes unnecessarily expensive. Lol
Most places suggest starting with 6% because if using quality oils and a good scent throwing wax, 6% is often plenty. Plus you can incrementally add more to test if you want. But I'd say most use around 8-10^ these days
@@BlackTieBarn thanks. Im learning a lot from your channel. Super informative stuff. I hope to be able to send you some samples to review someday.
Wade, just curious do you use a certain wax for testing purposes only, and another for your candles. You mentioned Problend 600. If this is a great wax, any recommendations on which company to purchase from? TY
Hey Katie. I make candles for several companies and different ones for other reasons as well. As someone who also likes to help other candle makers, I tend to use a variety of materials. So I use many. I just often test with problend600 because it's easy to use and it's pretty average across the board which makes it a good baseline for testing. Your can get it from The Flaming Candle
Thank you for your reply. I don’t want to know all your secrets for your candles as I know their yours, however, do you suggest a good candle soy wax to start playing around with. I have 444 and 464, but have heard horror stories. Thank you, Katie F
@@katiefrederick4136 If you are looking for a true 100% soy, then no not really. At least one I would feel confident in recommending. They just have so any issues and consistency problems. However, the majority of "soy" waxes arent just pure soy. most have a tiny amount of food grade paraffin or other additives for example. These perform much better. Soy 10 for example. Also Ceda Serica or EC-26 is good too
Wade, thank you. I guess I did know there were no 100% soy, my text wasn’t worded correctly. Maybe you know, but I’ve purchased candles from a local store chain, the brand is “Sand and Fog”, I really like the texture of the wax, would you know possibly what different wax would be combined? If not, it’s ok. I’m really getting to the point of doing my own for personal use as with everything nowadays I’ve noticed a significant price increase. Have a great day.
@@katiefrederick4136 Well, let me clarify. I didn't mean there are NO 100% soys. The GW 464 that you mentioned, is a 100% soy. But its definitely has its drawbacks. So most use some sort of soy blend. Its entirely up to you. I will look into Sand and Fog. Never heard of it. They likely don't reveal their wax type, but I can check
Can I blend coconut apricot wax with igi 6006 wax ?
Sure!
Hi by any chance is this wax soypour 1280
Yes it was
I cant find premier 730, just 735 or 725. On flaming candle thanks
Yah different suppliers sell different sizes. I just used 730 as an example to start with. Wouldn't necessarily be the right size for every fragrance. 725 or 735 would work for most as well
Excellent review! I DO like this format better! I'm curious, in your opinion, how does Wooodland Snow compare to Nordic Night? Thanks Wade!
Similar. It's like a mix of Nordic night and alpine Balsam.
