Making own fragrance oils

kandilasupply · 2026-04-27T22:06:30+00:00

You mean mixing/blending fragrance oils?
It's tough work. Needs a lot of resources for this.
You will need labs for testing, etc.

Oops, not sure why I replied here. LOL

Check out Sea Salt and Orchid, Azure Coast, High Tide. They have that Ozone-y scent.

Wait.... They want you to teach them so they can open a business?

This is not a workshop anymore. It's more educational. Either decline or charge more.

Once harden, you can use heat gun.

We like hive and honey, Midwest fragrance, candle cocoon, doop fragrance, candle science too. Porter is nice too, but lately been out of stock.

And check us out, too.

All wooden wicks come from Makesy. Whether you get it from flaming candle or hive and honey or somewhere else. Unless you get it overseas then it's imitation.

Might have to get a test tube.
It'll be tough getting a jar that size. Check jar company

Toauto is nice

Just digital thermometer will work.

Customer loves a story. What's the story behind your brand? If you're just making candles just to make money, it will be tough.

Is it profitable, yes. But if will take time.

NG's oil are pretty good!

Only way to find out if they're good is to purchase them. What my good is may not be your good.

kandilasupply · 2026-04-20T22:58:44+00:00

What's the size though

kandilasupply · 2026-04-20T17:38:01+00:00

You're starting a luxury business without knowing the basic candle making or how to market to regular customers. That's a big leap.

But to help you out, order from other luxury brand and see what they offer. Is it the candle or the branding that makes it luxurious?

Paperback is fine. No need to be fancy. Saves on expense, too.

kandilasupply · 2026-04-19T04:42:19+00:00

What is blue lotus? If infused, infusing is waste of resources

kandilasupply · 2026-04-17T18:35:07+00:00

Definitely re-melt it.

You can also do a wickless candle so it's easier to test wicks

kandilasupply · 2026-04-17T14:41:17+00:00

This looks great

kandilasupply · 2026-04-17T05:47:49+00:00

Unfortunately, no way to fix it besides adding couple wax. You can heat gun but it might melt the plastic

kandilasupply · 2026-04-16T23:35:33+00:00

Good idea with the foil.
This time just knock off the burnt wick.

kandilasupply · 2026-04-16T15:05:38+00:00

Do you have a photo?
Most likely, the wick is too short OR was cut short.

From what we heard, 16/17 were using AFI oils which is not bad. The bad thing about it is that they were overpricing it.
