I just started making candles and I had first bought a kit through Amazon. I used the whole wax it came with, then switched to 464 wax from candle science and I pour the fragance @185 and pour it to the candle @135. I use about 11-12% Fragance in my candles. I cure from 1-2 days and while when I lit the candle I smell it... it's not very strong. I'm getting better before I couldn't smell anything at alll. I'm gonna try a smaller percentage of FO and see it it works for me wish me luck.
I havent, im using 464 soy wax i using a wooden wick booster wick .625 width for a 2.98 diameter jar. Using 10% FO wait a week heat up to 180 pour FO at 140-150 but also have tried adding at 180 and low temp method at 110. I can smell it but not as much as id like
The amount of information you give us of huge help, I am just a beginner and going crazy but you are like the candle godmother my goodness the way you cover all points big thankyou ❤❤❤, love from India 🎉
Thanks for giving some more specific info than some vids I've seen. It's like ppl want a youtube audience to push sales but they don't really wanna share knowledge so this was at least more specific
I appreciate your willingness to provide information. Because of your (and other’s) selflessness, my learning process is shortened. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thank you!! Wonderful info!! I am working with beeswax/coconut oil . Wick testing now and used 10% essential oils/natural fragrance blend. I'll sell them as a healthy "air purifier" more than filling a room with heavy scent. I make all natural bath and body products so it fits my brand 😊 Awe , still sleepy from his nap 💙 Blessings! ~jc
I enjoy watching your channel! I saw the video about starting a candle business. Which company did you use to register your business? Do you have use a company? Thanks for answering my questions?
I make melts so I don’t have to worry about wick sizes. 🤦🏾♀️I’ve noticed that eco soy waxes are harder to get a good hot throw. I’ll have to try the paraffin blend. Thanks for informing and give the baby a kiss.
I like watching your videos, you have a great attitude and disposition. I am a candle maker since October, I am not selling many of my products, I have them on Facebook Marketplace, Ebay,. I have sold some to coworkers and friends and some family but it hasnt made a dent in my sales, any advice?
Hello! Thank you so much for the video! I use 6006 wax and get an ok HT but I want to improve it. If you add the FO at 160 and stir for 3-4 minutes this will decrease the wax temp to below 160. Will the HT still be effective? Thanks so much!
Thanks for information. I’m currently figuring out scents and wicks that I like that work well in the natural waxes and it’s definitely a learning experience.
I am a big fan. I have 2 babies in heaven that were still born and have been wanting to start a candle making business to honor their legacy and for my mental and emotional health, it’s so calming to do. I have been trying for over a year now but keep messing up the process. I’m feeling so discouraged. I troubleshoot one thing to be presented with another. But God keeps bring me back to this. I feel this is what I’m supposed to do but I just can’t. I wanted to ask you if you ever have trouble with ambient temperature and humidity and if that has played a part in how bad things can get. I’ m in NJ and there are candling making classes that are done for recreation and was thinking of going for research. I feel like I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me know what I am doing wrong. Please help.
Hello...are you asking about how the humidity and temp in terms of weather? I live in Ohio, and make my candles in my kitchen. So don't really have any issues there. I have several coaching services available including my course if you need assistance! pariscnorthcutt.com/how-to-start-a-candle-biz-for-beginners/ or head over to pariscnorthcutt.com and under "Work With Me" you will see other services I offer. Thank you!
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thanks for responding. I've been using essential oils and the scents are a bit too subtle. I wanted to use essential oils because of their origin, but I may have to switch to fragrance oils. I appreciate all you do! God bless. ❤
If the wax say use a 6% FL then you need to plug that in your formula in order to know how much FO to use. I have two formula videos on my channel to help with that.
I just started using the same wax as you. I did a peppermint in eucalyptus candle is in eucalyptus candle with CD 12 wick. CT was great HT not so much. I had used 8% FO so this time I whicked up to CD14 and 10% FO. Are your thoughts on that?
First, choose the right wick for your jar size. As I stated in my video, natural waxes are not going to give you a strong punch. If your using essential oils, the scent is really going to subtle. Don’t change wicks on hot throw alone. The wick needs to be correct for your jar size or it’s not going to burn properly. Yes the right wick is important for hot throw, but in natural waxes, the right wick will do what it needs to do but understand with natural waxes, don’t expect a strong punch.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo wasn't using essential oils It was from candle science. And I guess I went off of what you do using the same size jars and wicks in wix as well as FO percentage. Like you said some FO Isn't going to pack that punch. Are people OK with a very light fragrance because they prefer a better Eco friendly wax? I'm just concerned people are gonna think the CT is good but be disappointed with the HT
@@ctatro518 But again with natural waxes, it’s not going to be super strong. Or switch to a paraffin if your not a stickler on eco friendly products. It’s all in your marketing strategy

You just have to keep marketing on social media…it takes time to build a following. Maybe do some vendor spots at festivals or events this year👍🏽
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thanks, Ill keep that in mind.
I got my notepad ready ❤❤❤❤
Oooo I love this!!!
Thank you .. I know you mentioned vibar.. did I spell it right? how to use those
Can you provide a link to the Vybar you use? Thanks 🙂
Hey Paris!!!!!!! Love the vibe!!!!!!
I use coco apricot creme wax. and I just use 1 oz of fragrance oil for 7oz of wax
Hello with the Vybar. Which would you recommend 260 or 103? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Hello, if a candle is made and hot throw is weak.... do you just throw that wax away or can it be melted down and fixed?
What type of wicks do you use for your coco soy wax?
Hello! Thank you so much for the video! I use 6006 wax and get an ok HT but I want to improve it. If you add the FO at 160 and stir for 3-4 minutes this will decrease the wax temp to below 160. Will the HT still be effective? Thanks so much!

Thank you from the UK. By the way your son is a cutey🥰
I have a question do candles have a shelf life. I have wax that I bought since 2020 and wanted to know if I can still use them.
What about 8oz and 10 oz is it the same drops for the fragrance
Do wood wicks burn better than string wicks?
What is a good essential oil to purchase
I am a big fan. I have 2 babies in heaven that were still born and have been wanting to start a candle making business to honor their legacy and for my mental and emotional health, it’s so calming to do.

Generally, do fragrance oils give a better hot throw than essential oils?
Yes👍🏽
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thanks for responding. I've been using essential oils and the scents are a bit too subtle. I wanted to use essential oils because of their origin, but I may have to switch to fragrance oils.
I appreciate all you do! God bless. ❤
Hi Paris. I have an issue. I don't understand. The eco soy wax I have access to in my country says 6% FL and the FO says 10%. Which do you use?
If the wax say use a 6% FL then you need to plug that in your formula in order to know how much FO to use. I have two formula videos on my channel to help with that.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo yes ok thanks I watched it over
Hello from Russia!💕
Heyy!
I made a kit candles. And its no hf at all.nothing. so 😔 i done by rules and nothing
