Great video, Allen! Yes, a sequel on what customers DON’T like would be awesome! 😊
Why do I love Allen so much? I’ve been away from this channel for coming up on a year, and I looked it back up today, pulled up the most recent video, and I am instantly inspired, comforted, and just getting that feeling of wanting to be cozy and hang out with Allen.
This comment totally made my day! I’m so glad you enjoy these videos 😊🌱
Hi Allen - Thanks for tips. Yes, please do a “least popular” list. Thx!😁
Love your new hair color~
Great recommendations, thanks! My personal 5 best sellers at the moment are Sage & Cypress, Blackberry Vanilla, Cinnamon Chai, Vanilla, Sunwashed (summery scent, citrus+coconut+musk)
You have been such a help to me as a very new home candle maker. Thank you. I want to make candles for Christmas gifts so this video was great.
A polarizing scent video would be great, I can’t think of anyone who has done one before!
Also, I recently got a haul from Little Bee Scents and omgggggggge scents are so well blended, I’d love a video with your take on them!
Thank you for a good staring point of scents to start off with🥰
Love your hair Allen. Very informative video thank you for sharing ❤
Yes please a video on the polarizing scents would be very interesting.
Thanks for letting me know, Michele!
Thank you Allen, very informative video.
Great video!! I'm always taking notes from your video! Candle Couture.
Love the hair and great advice!
Thank you so much :)
Would love to hear about polarizing scents. I personally love patchouli and smoky scents like CS velvet vanilla, but I know others who absolutely hate them 😅
Yup, Velvet Vanilla is a great one but smoky scents,I would agree, can be very polarizing.
Hysterical. I HATE smoky scents but LOVE a good Patchouli.
Cool! Hey Allen, have you ever considered going live to have a discussion with the audience? These kind of chats would work well imho!! Enjoy your videos however you do them! Thank you for sharing your info and knowledge, always very helpful!!
Hi Nancy! Great idea! I honestly don’t even know how to do that and would have a lot of technical things to figure out there. Thanks for your suggestion, though!
Thanks for sharing! I agree my customers immediately fall in love with my lavender candle (blend), that I call Ethereal Lavender. Makesy’s lilac scent (mentioned) is another that is loved by customers. CS’s mac apple and apple harvest are my fav apple scents. To your point about the fir scents, I’m currently testing CS Evergreen + Apple for my year round products. Didn’t know that the fir scents sell well year round, thanks for the tip. 💫
Great information and a worst scent sequal would be wonderful. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge ❤
Thank you for your advice and knowledge love watching your videos.
Glad you enjoyed :)
My customers do really like wine scents.
Love your new look ❤
Haha, thank you!
Allen, do you have a lavender oil you recommend?
That was very helpful thank you Allen I love your videos ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed :)
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks so much for your videos! May I ask what your Favorite Zucchini Bread fragrance oil is? Also, Cinnamon buns? I'm a gourmand lover and trying to find the best bakery fragrance oil company. Thanks very much for your reply!
Allen ❤ thanks 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed 😊
