Thanks, Allen ... My favorites that are kinda masculine are Calle 23 by Sixteen Seventeen and Saffron and Tobacco by Makesy. Love that you are totally honest about the fails, too!
Hi Cheryl!! Thank you so much for commenting. I have yet to try that oil from Makesy but I’ll have to add it to my list. I love Calle 23 from 16/17 as well-I keep like 5 lbs on hand at all times. Love and light always 💛🌱
Totally agree with your selections. Alastair and Mojave both are manly and sophisticated scents. And agree with FC Birch and Black Pepper. No luck in container candle. Even in parasoy a blend, very smoky. However, in melts 50/50 blend with BB Tobacco and Bay Leaf= Powerful sexy man like nobody’s business.
Hi Sassy NYC! Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your feedback on the performance of Birch and Black Pepper in a container candle with parasoy. How disappointing!!! I will have to try your blend though because I do have Tobacco and Bay Leaf but wasn’t impressed with that one on its own. A warm welcome to our candle fam. Love and light always 💛🌱
Love the fragrance reviews that you do! You could make commercials because you’re so enthusiastic about the ones you love ❤️ I have a different question for you, though. I know you make cement vessels. I have made them for a few months now and finally burned a candle in one. I noticed the lower it gets, if I burn it for over two hours, the vessel gets pretty hot (like a bit over 152, which I know safety wise is not good) and I’m wondering if you have any comments or suggestions about that. Just love all of your videos!!! Like when I turn one of your videos on it just feels like home 😁
Hi Colleen!! Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m quite new to the concrete vessels but if mine was getting this hot, I would try wicking down first by one size and if that’s not enough by another. I hope this helps!! The candle will always be the hottest when the wax is about at the halfway point so you probably won’t need to test a full candle to be able to figure this out. Love and light always 💛🌱
You are correct on candle science leather, I can use the smallest amount and I'm talking about drops and my candle can sometimes remind me of gasoline. Is there a nice true leather scent that you use that works well without having to be so careful. I would really love a soft true leather fragrance. Thank you ☺️
It’s so funny, the ones you don’t like from CS. Suede and smoke, leather and fireside I love. I freaking love them. But I appreciate your insight and opinions regardless.
Hi Allen I love your videos you are tuning me into a even bigger fragrance junkie than i already am. One of the masculine fragrances I'm in love with is black cypress and Cassis by Lone Star
Hi Damion!! Thank you so much for your comment. You made me smile!!! I really need to try this oil you mention--it sounds amazing. Love and light always!
Hi Sandra!!! Thank you so much for your comment. I am delighted you enjoyed this video -I had fun filming it too. A warm welcome to our TH-cam family💛🌱
Thanks Nick!!! I'm really glad you are enjoying Bavaria and I appreciate your feedback. I will be leaving you some reviews soon as well. Community over competition always and I'm honored to have you in our community. Love and light!
@@earthglow Allen, I left a review for Bavaria on your website. There was so much more I wanted to say but was stricken down by the character limit on the site, lol. I hope it helps anyway!
@@nickhendry803 Hi Nick!! Thank you so much for leaving feedback on the Bavaria candle. I really appreciate it and continue to enjoy the candles I purchased from you!! I look forward to leaving you some reviews soon. Hope you have a relaxing weekend. Love and light 💛🌱
@@earthglow You might have me mistaken for someone else. You haven’t purchased any of my candles because I have not launched quite yet :-) I am looking for some testers pretty soon though! It would be cool to send a couple your way to see what you think!
@@nickhendry803 Hi Nick!!! Oh I am so sorry-I think I think I am mistaking you for Nick Hawkins who is also part of our TH-cam candle fam and I did just buy some of his candles. Yes, let me know when you launch or feel free to send one my way if you’d like my thoughts on it. Love and light always 💛🌱
Hi Allen👋🏾 I am not sure if this was a question asked. What are your thoughts of Makesy fragrances formally known as Wooden Wick Co. ? Have you tested their oils?
If you like gourmand, try Maple Chia and Sweet Cream from Makesy, too - I love it. A lot of people love Makesy fragrances, but other than the two I mentioned, I have a hard time finding ones I like (some border on acrid and others don't throw well). But that's just me. For more opinions on Makesy, go to these two channels: Upside Goods by Ashley Fathergill (SP?) and Nokomis Home Fragrance. Good Luck!
Hi Candles and Conversations!! Thank you so much for your comment. I purchase all of my wooden wicks from Makesy and I have experience with their soap bases and essential oils but I have never ordered fragrance oils from them. It’s about time I place an order for FO samples too because I have had a handful of you ask me if I had tried them!!! So, what I am doing now is making a list of ones I’ll order. Let me know if there are any you like or are curious about my opinion on and I will absolutely consider these when I place an order!! Love and light always. 💛🌱
Hi Cheryl! Thank you for your comment. I will be adding these to my list to try from Makesy. Do you happen to use natural wax like 464? I know throw can be more challenging and I was curious if you meant that those oils throw well for you in natural wax. Love and light 💛🌱
Actually, Ashley Fathergill is what made me stray away from ordering oils from Makesy because she has talked about how poor their customer service has been and the frequent delays in getting shipments.
@@earthglow Awesome 👏🏾 -Lemon Blossom & sea air -Calibre Lemon 🍋 -Pumpkin & Persimmon ❤️ oh by the way I never been a fan of pumpkin 🎃 of anything. Only Makesy change my mind. I hope you enjoy them.
LOVE your videos Allen, but this one left me dazed and confused. I was positive, SO POSITIVE, that your #1 pick for masculine fragrance was going to be Calle 23. What happened??? 😭 (Keep in mind, I've not smelled any of these. I am experiencing them 100% vicariously through your reactions and descriptions.)
Hi there! Ha ha ha! Fragrance is very subjective and to me that oil wouldn’t be considered “masculine.” I do greatly enjoy it though. Love and light always 💛🌱
Hi Val! Thank you for commenting and for your kind words. I am smiling about you having all of these!! What do you think of Amber Waters? Love and light 💛🌱
I'm new to your channel but I just love your calming voice!
Oh thank you!
I really love your descriptions!!!!
Aww thank you!!!

I was asking about fragrances from Makesy. I will add that to my list it sounds Devine.
I'm a newbie. Thank you for your advice. Will be following you.

Hahaha! Not my fav oil by itself for sure.
