I hope that doesn't sound too snobbish, but I really don't lean toward fruity bakery and that seems to be what the vast majority carry. Just like you said. Ah well. The search continues.<br /><br />Ewwwww... that is awful. Yes. Sometimes wax does have a funky undertone. For sure. And bad FO are certainly out there. And you are totally right. Consistency can be key and this wax would hardly come out in one piece. I figured it was just too soy heavy for clamshells, like LSC but even hers does clamshells well sometimes. So there is something definitely off but with over 800 sales, they must have a decent following. I guess just not for me. And that is ok too. I need heavy hitters and not everyone likes strong scents. Hope you have a nice Thursday night!

So many vendors are super duper bakery-heavy, but this one seemed to lean more towards those earthy, spicy, herb-y kind of scents you like.<br /><br />The first wax I purchased was a small order from an Etsy vendor who shall remain nameless, because it was pretty awful. I don't even know if they're still in business. Five of six scents smelled legit rotten - maybe that's that animal-y, musky kind of scent you referenced, but it smelled more like oil that's gone off - as in the fragrance oil. You know, that would also totally affect the consistency of the wax, too, as in it wouldn't hold together pretty well...sorry, just thinking out loud here now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-88183778722450372492016-10-18T07:08:04.029-04:002016-10-18T07:08:04.029-04:00I hate that too.

It usually opens my eyes to new scents and will get me to order again. A great marketing tool! I hope you love all your new orders! My hunt is still on. Must find some new wax in scents I crave. Those woody dreamy scents.

It's a shame they are mostly light throw though. I hate having a scent I love in the clam but can barely smell when melting.<br /><br />I have tried a ton of new vendors recently, including two that I posted about today. I also just received a package today from a brand called Live Love Wax Co that I found on IG. They smell great on cold sniff and included several generous extras.Amanda C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14977811037288255876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-32344553514826858072016-10-17T13:03:32.744-04:002016-10-17T13:03:32.744-04:00I have an order from Cross Creek Country Candles t...I have an order from Cross Creek Country Candles that I am waiting on that is going to deliver today (so excited!) that is a new to me vendor that I have been wanting to try for awhile now. Her shapes are just too cute to not jump in and place an order. So we will see how it goes!

I could see myself really liking many of these, it's a shame the throw was so light on a lot of them, though :(. Stephanie Merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600557762841800023noreply@blogger.com
