I have so much respect for you making this video. I agree 100%. They changed their name to Maksy to me, that is for the Makers. Most Makers are looking to make money off of the items we make. Their prices are way too high. I do order my Woden wicks from them. I ordered a melter off of their site because it was 50% off and I took advantage of the .99 f.o.sale on the small bottles. I can’t justify paying full price on their oils or vessels. I love candle science and several of the others. If it wasn’t for candle science, I wouldn’t have started my candle journey. I’m great full for candle science!
Thank you so much for being unfiltered for us Allen.🥰
You so the absolute truths and you're amazing!!! Thank you for keeping thing soooooo real 💜
So happy I found your channel! I
love your vibe and this video. I totally agree. I only purchase from them during a sale and it’s 98% personal for me to make shampoo, soap, home candles, etc but it’s just no way I could justify putting this in my line up and even think of making a profit. More like a huge loss. I feel like they’ll realize that they need to come down on prices. It truly is a hit or miss tho. Some blow you away and some don’t. I only have 2 that are under $50 for a 16oz that are worth it for me so we’ll see how they perform in wax. I also really dislike the .33ml option because I can’t make anything accurate with that.
I agree with everything that you said about this brand…100%! I’ll admit, their marketing got me! I spent a lot of money on FO that did not perform. I get amazing results with candle science and the flaming candle. I was very disappointed because I wanted to love their oils!
Agree 1000%. I cannot justify their prices. I loved many of their oils and they’re the company I started out with. But once I branched out I learned there are other luxe oils that are even better and with much better price points. I will say when they have a sale and you can use your points you can get decent discounts but still not worth it to me.
I’m starting to move away from Maksey’s. Thank goodness I only bought sample sizes. They are now offering lower priced oils and some are nice. I will continue to buy a few oils. However, I’m branching out. I bought oils from Scent Memory, Stock Fragrance, Wellington Fragrance and they all have beautiful luxe oils. Stock Fragrance is expensive, but it’s worth it.
Yea Makesy is unnecessarily expensive and their shipping time is annoyingly long. But their stuff is cute. Maybe just buy vessels from them and wooden wicks
I also mainly use Macy's hemp wax which I absolutely love! Haven't found any other waxes from any other companies that contain hemp and are as flawless as the candles I'm making with the hemp wax
Thank you for all the great information. I am new to candlemaking and I have learned so much from you.
I'm so glad!
I love harvested sumac! The Calabrian lemon is a thrower! I love the dark rose out of the bottle, but I feel like I lost the top notes/sweetness when I made a candle. I did add it at 200, I need to try adding it at 180-190. Also, Maple Street Candle has those same scents at a lot lower price!
Just finished watching this video & I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in my thoughts about Makesy & their fragrance oils. I took advantage of their recent .99 sale on the sample bottles. So that I could decide which ones I'd like to possibly order in a 16oz bottle.
I think I ordered about 60 different scents but about 100 bottles, since the limit was 3 on each scent. So some I order 1, 2 or 3, depending on the notes. Well like you out of all of them there are only about 10 I considered ordering a 16oz bottle & Dark Rose & Labdanum was one I ABSOLUTELY LOVE & strongly considered.
There were a few less expensive ones I put in my cart during the 22% off sale, but later removed. I feel like I can probably find similar scents through other suppliers, at a more reasonable price point.
Thank you sir for the information Just recently found your channel and will definitely be enjoying some of your other videos
So glad you’re enjoying them, Lisa!
Thank you! For this video. I started using Makesy when they were WoodenWick and more affordable. I started with soap and wanted good eco-friendly fragrances, etc. As a few mentioned it’s the aesthetic that hooks you. I was making a little more money when I started buying from them. I have noticed how their prices keep going up and up. I have slowly moved over to making candles and the few fragrances that I experimented with I can’t really afford anymore. The oils I need are $60-$70 now and that hurts. I am beginning to weigh my options in terms of looking for other companies to buy from. When I started making I lived on the west coast with a full time job making more money, but now in the southeast with a part time job. I don’t make enough to keep buying from them. You now have to spend at least $150 to get free shipping. Their shipping is pricy, so it forces you to spend $150 to get free shipping.
Thank you for your honest review. I hadn't ordered from them yet and didn't realize they took some jabs at CS and Brambleberry. It's not a good look to look down your nose at a competitor like that. There is enough room for everyone in the market, companies who don't realize that will stagnate and turn off potential customers. I will spend my money with companies who focus on their customers and keep it positive, not with companies who have a bad attitude!
Thank you for your honest review!! ❤
Thanks Nicole! I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
You have such a calm soothing voice
Aww you’re so kind! Thank you!!!💛
I just love your honesty, very rare these days. Stay true to yourself.
The same back to you, my friend!
I love and appreciate your honesty. It’s so hard to blind-buy fragrances, but I think we have similar tastes so your reviews are invaluable to me 🙏🏻
So glad you’re finding these helpful.
I just got the notification that they do custom fragrances now.
Sale was still on for another 2 days (as of 10/26). Just bought some scents. Hopefully I enjoy them as well.
Thank you for sharing. I totally agree. I love Candle Science and Other companies out there. Makesy are pretty pricey.
i totally agree with you on this video
Hi Allen. I appreciate your honesty. I actually just watched the (WWC) video that you mentioned. You’re correct, showing the fragrances from other companies was very small of them. I’ve never tried anything from BB but I absolutely love CS. Do you think that using a tart wax would make a difference with the HT of some of the lighter Makesy scents? BTW, didn’t you test a tart wax? Did I miss the outcome of that? Anyway, I purchased a bunch of sample scents from Makesy during their sample sale. I’m also finally gonna test C55. I can’t wait to see if it’s as good as the makers that love it say it is. Be well.
I completely agree with you. As a newbie I figured out pretty quickly that I would need to find a new supplier to replace Makesy. Their prices are double what they should be, they're frequently out of stock and the customer service isn't that great. Luckily I have been able to find a new supplier for the virgin coconut soy wax I was buying from Makesy and even some of the fragrance oils as well. My favorite fragrance oils from Makesy are cashmere vanilla, pink raspberries and prosecco, bergamot and ambergris, dark rose and labdanum.
Ooh those are such great oils! Thanks for sharing. I do certainly like and continue to use this supplier but can understand some of these feelings for sure.
I have been debating whether I would buy a few samples from them but everything is expensive on the site. So I kinda just passed for now. BB is my favorite but I wait to do big orders because they have gotten expensive over the past year. So I will have to definitely catch a sale to try Makesy. You have me soooo curious to try those scents though lol. I love that I can also use your fabulous blend to create so melts!
I’m very new to candle making and recently brought a few brands of soy waxes and Parasoy blends but nothing and I mean nothing stands up to the recipe I learned from you. Tested BB, Natures Garden, Flaming Candle and 16/17 FO in all three waxes. The HT and CT is absolutely best in crème blend! I can’t wait to try it in a few days. Crafting when school is out lol. It’s my release from teaching ❤️ Thank you for such beautiful content. I am a new fan for sure! 😘
Hi there! I am so happy my wax blend has been giving you great results. That makes my week! Yep, Makesy is very expensive but I do think if you can catch a sale, it can be worth it on some of those oils. Love and light always 💛🌱
Right out of the gate, thank you for talking to us honestly about this company. I hate myself for buying anything from Makesy, but I do. I agree with everything you said. I want to thank you as well for naming some FO’s I haven’t tried. You seem to have the knowledge and experience to share your candid thoughts with everything Makesy. I purchase FO’s from several suppliers based on their quality. I’ve found lovely fragrances from Bramble Berry, Paris, Sweet Cakes, some of the Flaming Candle, Millcreek, Wholesale Supply and Oregon Trail..I know there are 2 or 3 more suppliers I’ve purchased from. If a fragrance impresses me with its’ performance in a candle and gives me a very good HT I’ll pay the price. Shipping is killing me right now and equals the price of the FO! I know there are many other chandlers who feel the same way, so you are definitely not alone! I’m sure you’ve noticed this but there are many FO’s that smell better in a melt than lighting a wick? In a melt, it’s just pure fragrance. I test fragrances with a little wax to determine if I’m even going to like them. Then others make you swoon and I just keep smelling over and over, lol! I give a free wax melt and feel it’s very good for business! Makesy sends your purchase and that’s it and I abhor wasting my money on multiple samples and only liking a few? I purchased one of Makesy’s sample kits and only liked 2 out of the whole set! I will most assuredly purchase the fragrances you loved, so thank you for sharing! You have a new subbie, so I look forward to more content from you! Much love to you in oneness! 🙏🏻❤️🕊
I use a few FO's from them that I haven't found anything else comparable to yet. I'm lucky the ones that I have picked are excellent throwers for CT&HT. I will only buy on sale, and I have tons of sample of FO's that I was looking forward to loving, however, due to the poor throws, I cannot justify the price points. My favorites are Marigold and Cedarwood and strawberry macaron & vanilla whip - both are complex, smooth and just beautiful to light up. If anyone out there has a good Marigold FO suggestion please send it my way! While I love the Makesy interpretation, I'd love to sample others!
Catching up on all your videos! Scent Memory makes a dupe of the Rose and Labdanum!
Thanks for sharing!!
Your adorable and thank you for sharing!
Where did you get that wax melter? So cute!
I totally 100% agree with you. Their aesthetics pulled me in hook & sinker. My opinion but most of their fragrance oils are no big woop. I mainly use them for their wooden wicks and a hand full of their fragrances. Also, this company takes forever to deliver. I live in Hollywood, CA & this company is located in Irvine, CA 🤔 That being said, I'm sure they are trying their best to keep up with other luxury candle companies and the demands of their large customer base. I wish them all the best✌️😎👍
Someone in a Facebook groups said they also live near Makesy's, and it takes a long time to get their package.
Omg … this!
It takes FOREVER to get your order.
It’s also ridiculous to charge customers an extra fee to get their order picked faster. 😑
I can’t shop with any company that slams a competitor. As a business owner myself, that is unfathomable. ❤
One major way to get a huge discount at Makesy is using their points from orders because I had thousands of points which I forgot about and I just cashed in a very small amount of them and got $50 off my last order!
the rose and labdanum fragrance oil I bought at the beginning of my candle making career. It smells heavenly, but I didn't get a good HT in any wax I've used. Not worth the price. That was the last of my using them on any of my candle line.
Unrelated- have you tried the Environment line FO by Stone Candles?
thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Thanks so much for this!
I don’t dislike the music in the background but the last few it’s been much harder to hear you. Would love it if it were a bit more quiet especially when you turn away from the camera and say something I lose you completely.
So much love! ♥️♥️
So super weird experience…when I switched to my right headphone everything was shifted…so odd
Natural Spiced Bergamot & Labdanum out of this world
Orchid & Black Amber
Pink pepper & Vetiver
I actually have all the ones you mentioned I just haven't had a chance to make the mud I just thoroughly stocked up at a 25% off and I had enough points the last time I placed an order that I got $500 off I've been making candles for over 25 years I do love their oils but I agree with you that you do need to buy them on sale or you really have to boost your prices up and right now is not a good time to have to raise your prices Thank you for Information on the other companies I will definitely check them out
Oooh these all sound so amazing. Love me some Orchid and Black Amber. Incredible that you got $500 off-that really helps a lot!!!
I totally agree and the oil have always leaked for me during delivery. Not happy
Matthew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners at the same sex but opposite in gender. Male or female is determined by gender located in the brain. I am Elijah of Malachi so that means any discrepancies in the Bible are decided by me.
Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3 is talking to the thieving church leaders and it is the answer to end covid. When all the thieving ministers return the money, God will in covid. All major churches around the world have known this since August of 2020 but they love money so much they are intentionally choosing to kill people with covid instead of repenting.
Anyone collecting money for ministering, anyone saying same-sex marriage is a sin, are all blacked out from the holy Spirit and will remain in the Great tribulation until they repent. The Great tribulation began September 1st.

DARK ROSE AND LABDANUM AND THE LEMON AND LILAC IS MY FAVORITE
You’ve got great taste. 🤍
I have to try this lilac and lemon uggggh my grandma is from Calabria you SOLD me !
Niyyah, I’ve got an extra two 10ml sample bottles if you’d like them! I may have broken down and ordered two of the 16 oz bottles late last night….. 🙃
BUT if I were you, I might just get it now while the sale is going on. I don’t think you’ll regret it. 😄
@@earthglow $106 later... and that was showing mega restraint...
@@niyyahhandcrafted 🤣
@@niyyahhandcrafted I might have just spent another $255 on oils tonight from Makesy… after I did over 100 last night too 🤪. Oops!
Let me start with I love your channnel!! Do you know where someone can buy tw30 wax other than California Candle. Their cost for shipping items seems a bit much!!! Items seem to be doubled in price for shipping. Please help.
Aww thank you Susan!!! I am not familiar with purchasing this wax but it looks like Virginia Candle Supply has tw-31 but I don’t think that is the same thing!!!
Have you tried any of their EMOTI scents?
No, not yet!! What are those??
Theres only 4 companies that i am happy with their FO which is Randels Candles, Mystic Moments and Pure and freshskin
❤❤❤
Curious about their sets , are they worth it as a beginner ?
It really depends... I think many of their wick sets are a great value but some of their sets I feel are a little pricey.
DARK ROSE AND LABDANUM reminds me of a luxury perfume it is divine
Totally divine! I am thinking of calling it Rêverie
Super expensive not for me! Im still fighting with hot throw im so lost what am I doing wrong gezzzz
Thank you so much i feel a bit better, im 67 years old and on ss which by the way doesn’t give you no where what a person needs to survive so im praying that my little candles and melts will hold me up, but i want to do it right dont want customers made at me. Well im gonna take your advice and try something else, thank you sweetie you have really helped me many blessings to you and keep doing those videos 😀
Beautiful background 😊
Thank you!!! 😊
@@earthglow You're welcome. I just found your channel and I love it you give me so much and encouragement on starting my business😊❤
I find their fragrances have so little throw- both hot and cold- and way overpriced. Haven’t tried Brambleberry but I feel like nothing compares to 16 17

I have about $800 in Maksey F.O.s and I cannot get much of a hot throw on the few I have tried so far.
What’s your wax, wicks, vessel, and percentage of fragrance oil?
