Watching Scent review videos is not good for my addiction/wallet. Now I want to go buy allllll of these just to smell them. I have over 80 fragrance oils and “ain’t sold not one candle” 🤦🏾♀️ 🤣🤣 Plus i ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Flaming Candle. I can only think of one FO from there that I don’t like and even that one I’m confused about.
I want to open an Etsy shop and sell candles but I’m so overwhelmed with where to buy everything. Especially containers, some seem so expensive. I just don’t want to get things that aren’t going to sell. So much to decide! Thank you for the tips on scents.
I love FO from The Flaming Candle. Their fragrances have a nice strong throw out of the bottle. I just ordered two of the Coffee House, and it's a very nice fragrance for your coffee line. They're a bit more expensive but worth it.
Erica, what a great video! The First Kiss idea is very sweet and so your line. When I had my first kiss, way back in the 70's I was wearing a perfume called Love's Baby Soft, when I smell it now I instantly go back to that time. I wore it religiously, it is hard to find, but so worth it when you do. I have a stsh just for me. I even use it to make perfume. If I happen to be wearing it, guys of the same age will stop me and ask where I got it. A great deal of them will tell me the story of their 1st girlfriend, rarely their wife, lol! Scents really are the fabric of our lives. That and music!
I love The Flaming Candle! Their Georgia Peach and Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow are delicious. I was thrown by the chemical jolly ranchers of Georgia Peach in the bottle but in wax it perfect!
I definitely need to try more Flaming Candle scents! I’ve been a hardcore Candle Science fan so I haven’t ventured out much. Also in case anyone hasn’t commented Palo Santo is pronounced Paw-Low Sahn-Toe 😊
I definitely need Beachwood and all the new scents in my new but now ever growing Memory Box wax collection. The student so far has out done the teacher. I have yet to receive the teacher's product and I have already went through 3 scents of yours🤔🤔🤔 You're doing a FANTASTIC job girly. Keep up the great work and pour more wax. Wax addicts need TONS of wax to get their fix. Lol
I use Flaming Candle for my wax and my FOs. I use a parasoy blend and add FO at 180-185 like they say, but my hot throw has been kind of weak. I'm guessing it's not a FO quality issue then! I let them cure for a week as well. Any advice? It's so discouraging that I keep running into problems 😅🙈
I’ve used the GB 464 Soy wax from Candle Science and Fruity pebbles from the Flaming candle. The cold throw is great but the hot throw you can’t smell anything. So I’m wondering is it because I’m using two different brands ? Please help
If you are learning how to make candles and still in the testing phase, I would suggest only buying one scent in a 16 oz bottle for testing purposes. It can be really hard to not want to buy a ton to try out (I did that) But in terms of testing it is way better to only have one oil to test with. I always recommend candlescience’s mango and coconut milk or the flaming candle’s fruit loops for testing. Once you have your testing done and you know the jar, wick and wax you will be using then you can purchase 1oz sample sizes to test those scents and then pick the ones you like best and buy bigger 16 oz bottle sizes 🙂
Do you blend fragrances, If so, can you make a video on how to do so? It doesn’t have to be from your collection but if you can give an example, that would be awesome!
Memory Box Candle Co omg!!!! That is so cool, lol!!! I was shocked when I got the notification for that video🤣. I just got my order of sample fragrances from TFC and I now it’s time for me to experiment 🎉🎉 thank you!!!
Hey lady, I apologize for always writing you with so many questions. Wondering though if you know this one...I'm stumped. So, I have been trying to look for Commercial Property Insurance and/or product liability insurance? I make my candles from a studio that I rent that's connected to my house that I rent and I desperately need property insurance to cover any damage if things like a fire happen or etc. FINGERS CROSSED THAT NEVER HAPPENS but it's best to stay safe and insured than not. I already have General Liability but I know I need my supplies in my house covered. Any leads? I feel like I keep getting denied. EEEEKS! Thanks so much for letting me ask on here! No worries if you don't know. :)
Oh noo I’m so sorry! I current rent an apartment but that’s actually really good to look into, I have Next general liability insurance but I need to switch over to liberty mutual (I’ve heard they have product liability, whereas Next does not)
When I googled insurance for candles an Etsy article came up with two providers and one covers property. Try googling “candle insurance Etsy” and it should come up.
Well now I have to try this company for FO 🤣 im going to be so many thousands in the red from trying so many different companies before I ever sell a candle 🤣🤣
Are these by any chance nontoxic? I am starting my candle making business however I want to make them as Eco-friendly as possible. I was doing some research and found out the essential oil are not as strong as fragrance oils and they are very pricey. But many fragrance oils have lots of chemical blends and can be irritating so I am at a lost. Can you please let me know if there are any fragrance oils that can work for me. I'm looking for some autumn scents for my launch in September! Thank you in advance!
Hi Patty! I’m pretty sure that most fragrance oils from TFC are phthalate-Free. However the company that really focuses on trying to make the the most nontoxic scents is candlescience. www.candlescience.com/introducing-candlescience-clean-scents They have a “clean scent” initiative, so you may want to check them out. Also I was definitely like you in the beginning and I was very disappointed when I found out I couldn’t use essential oils! But I do believe there are better formulated fragrance oils out there that don’t have as many irritating components
I was given the gardenia from T&J and it was terrible. I'll have to check out the Flaming Candle Scents, I just got a bunch of 1oz testers from Candle Science, and for masculine scents I went with Tonka and Oud, Caribbean Teakwood and Black Sea. I love all three scents but the hot throw wasn't as strong as I'd hoped. I was going to add a small amount of clean cotton and call it "Ex-Boyfriend's Hoodie" but someone has already used that name and I'm not sure how copyrights work on that, lol, so I used "Seaside Drifter" since it smelled like a nice cologne. I'm thinking about turning it into a spray actually, but I have to do a little research into the skin irritation factor of the fragrance oils. They're all the listed as good for lotions, but the percentage would be higher in the spray so I want to be sure.
I love that idea, I honestly don’t think a name like that would be copyrighted (maybe but I don’t think so ?) and yes I think cologne perfume requires different oils.. or maybe just skin safe oils? I think there’s a lot more research needed in that aspect haha
I figured the scent wouldn't be, like generic colognes "inspired by" commercial brands or something 😊 I love the smell though, I didn't use gloves when I mixed the oils and I found myself smelling my fingers even after I washed up, lol, probably weird but worth it, haha
@@Dolliemea I blend it with tw-30 and beeswax, but it’s to help with burn time not HT or CT. A lot of people just use straight soy 10 without blending and get great results (I used to do this but because of the diameter jar I use I had to start blending). I’ve also had great experiences with soy bliss, coco83 and coco bright too! What wax are you using? Also please don’t be embarrassed, it’s all a learning process!
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo I have used hobby lobby store bought wax. The ones I sell it too, told me the candle isn’t giving that hot throw. So no one bought anything from me since. I love my idea of making candles because I am picky about my candles too. So I don’t blame them.
Hey! So question. Is it normal for shipping to cost almost $20 from the flamming candle to ship 13 1oz oils? It seems a little crazy to me that shipping is close to the price of the product lol
7:50 “Smells strait up like a dude “ lool I have a question though: how do you mix up different fragrance oils together? I really want to create my own FO but I’m afraid that won’t go well . If you have a basic guide please share it with us. Thank you so much 💕💕
I'm a soap maker and oh my god. Gardenias...There's something about that scent that is either absolutely lovely or disgusting. I made a mistake and bought the wrong scent (I wanted jasmine but bought gardenia) and so I was like, okay. Lets just make a soap and hope the scent changes! NOPE. I used to work at a jail and it reminds me of the floor cleaner the inmates would use. Ughhhh.
What is going on in the world..................... why is everyone "OUT OF STOCK" with their wicks. it the same story every where. did the wick makers union go on strike or something
Yes! I love The Flaming Candle Company. I’m so happy that’s it’s 30 minutes from my house.
I absolutely love The Flaming Candle, from their fragrance oils to their amazing customer service! ❤️
I agree! 💜

Cocoa butter cashmere is AMAZING! Made a candle with it blended for my friend’s birthday and she loved it! Also White Tea is also amazing!
I just finished testing a Coffee House candle and it was soo delicious, I didn't want it to end!
It’s soo good! And so strong!
I love FO from The Flaming Candle. Their fragrances have a nice strong throw out of the bottle. I just ordered two of the Coffee House, and it's a very nice fragrance for your coffee line. They're a bit more expensive but worth it.

I love that!! ☺️

I just got a free sample of this (the coffee one) and I thought I would hate it and I actually love it.
I love The Flaming Candle! Their Georgia Peach and Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow are delicious. I was thrown by the chemical jolly ranchers of Georgia Peach in the bottle but in wax it perfect!
Ahhh the vanilla pumpkin marshmallow is so good! 💜
Yassss! I got vanilla pumpkin marshmallow as a sample and I loved it. It’s amazing!
The FC is amazing!! My favorite fragrance is Lemon Pound Cake.
Your videos help me so much so thank you so much!! 💕
Thank you so much I’m so glad!! ☺️
(Ps I actually almost started an ASMR channel 2 years ago! 💜)
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo no wayyyy that's so cool!! Haha always happy to discover people love ASMR 😍

Your channel is wonderful! 💜
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo awwww omg thank youuuuuuu!
ASMR Glow you are so welcome!! If you ever need candles to tap on in a video I’m your girl 😉😅💜
I use the P&J Trading oils but I might have to change it because they’re expensive
Flaming Candle is awesome ! They have my favorite parasoy wax for melts, & I love their liquid dyes, too
I’m currently using cocoa butter cashmere and palo santo patchouli!! CT is amazing on both! 😉 will lit my testers this weekend for wick/HT... 🤞🏼
Btw, my signature scent from TFC is yutzu and satsuma!! It’s so far my favorite out of ALL!!
Egyptian Amber!!!!
We live in Atlanta, and I just noticed that TFC is down the road! Excited about that! 😂
I really enjoyed this video!!
You are the cutest thing ever! Love your videos seems your presentation is perfect and easy to follow!
Thank you Jane! ❤️
I definitely need to try more Flaming Candle scents! I’ve been a hardcore Candle Science fan so I haven’t ventured out much. Also in case anyone hasn’t commented Palo Santo is pronounced Paw-Low Sahn-Toe 😊
Thank you! 😅❤️
You should try their apple ginger crust, mix it with apple or pumpkin its amazing.
I love your fragrance oils reviews!! I will definitely try and buy some of these
Aw thanks! I love doing them!
Amazing video!! Can you please make a video explaining different kind of waxes and which ones are good for certain fragrance? Please😊
Have you tried sea salt blossom from the flaming candle that scent is one of my personal favorites I believe it’s sea salt and orchid
I haven’t! Do you know if it’s similar to candlescience’s sea salt and orchid?
I definitely need Beachwood and all the new scents in my new but now ever growing Memory Box wax collection. The student so far has out done the teacher.

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo you're welcome, and I appreciate all that you do. 💞
Can you do a video on wicks and what is your preference? 😊 Thanks so much.
Which fragrance company do you use the most??
I have a cart full and I was gonna wait to purchase...now I’m about to add more and check out ASAP 😭
😅❤️

You should DEFINITELY try fruity pebbles from them it is amazing
I totally should! Do you think it’s better than fruit loops?? I would assume they smell similar 😄
Memory Box Candle Co I personally like Fruity Pebbles better because it’s more of a nostalgic smell for me but they are definitely very similar!
Are the fragrance oils from them clean burning?
Have you tried caramel ? What scents can I use for grandpa old chair ? Caramel? Tobacco?
I haven’t tried it yet but I know tons of people love tobacco and caramel mixed together (not sure from where though)
Have you found a good straight up lemon or lemon cake scent?
what oz would you suggest purchasing for begginers ?
If you are learning how to make candles and still in the testing phase, I would suggest only buying one scent in a 16 oz bottle for testing purposes.

Do you blend fragrances, If so, can you make a video on how to do so? It doesn’t have to be from your collection but if you can give an example, that would be awesome!
Wow, this is the most ironic comment ever! I just uploaded a video on exactly this! 💜 (literally like 5 min ago!)

At the bottom you have “notes” what was that for? Is that what I would use to make that scent?
It was the notes of the fragrance I was smelling/showing at that moment
Do you like California coffee scent ? I love it but the wicking is different then the usual (smaller wick )
Soyful Candle scents I never got a good throw from it :/ so that’s why I switched to this one!
I use their Irish Cream Coffee
Have you ever ordered from wooden wick ? Just ordered my first order and hoping for the best !
I’ve only ordered a start kit before! 💜
What size tins are those in the background?
I have Palo Santo Patchouli in my cart...you just sealed the deal!!
It’s so good! ❤️
Somebody took your name for the fruit loops fragrance candle their shop is called witchy candle co
could you test Wooden Wick Co. fragrances?
Well now I have to try this company for FO 🤣 im going to be so many thousands in the red from trying so many different companies before I ever sell a candle 🤣🤣
Hi Erica, do you use a natural soy wax or do you use a paraffin wax?
Soy!
I use Cocoa Butter too :)
I love it :)
What labels do you use for your wax melts. Avery # if you have one ?
I use online labels! They’re 2.2” x 2.83”

10%!
Cocoa butter cashmere smells soooo much better in a candle than out of the bottle. I don’t get the Lip Smackers smell you get, though.
Good to know! 💜
YAY :)
