Is it a proper candle oil? | 223 |
Hi 👋 I’m a proud mum of three and a Nanna to one gorgeous curly haired whirlwind (I’m biased) 😅
I’m literally a newbie who has always loved home fragrance, so started making wax melts around seven months ago.
I’m now starting my journey into candle making and created my online shop and business Pepperpot Hill.
I’m a Content Manager for interior related companies where I do their PR, social and influencer campaigns. I also own and edit two magazines.
I don’t think I’d have done things differently, but I would have warned myself that things don’t happen overnight! I’m always impatient 😅
Hmm 7 is a toughie as I tend to be the one seeking advice - but I’d always recommend taking time to get your head around the admin, regs and insurance side.
Three wishes would have to be a never-ending supply of RCX, classes on candle making, and wax melt moulds. I don’t use clamshells due to the plastic.
This group is pretty fantastic already 👍😊 | 910 |
How much for Seychelles please? X | 1,273 |
CS1 has a maximum fragrance hold of 10% I believe. I’ve never gone above 8% and find less is more with this wax. My staple, like other users, is 7% LX16 sometimes LX18. | 1,234 |
Managed to order wax melt wax not candle wax...🙈
Is the ratio the same for oils? 10% and...is the fragrance oil I use for candles ok for wax melts? | 281 |
Would also love to know this | 1,683 |
Hiya, I don't want to be the one to burst your bubble, but it'd be well worth checking what happens with respect of insurance if you're promoting the idea of reusing glass. I'd presume that for somebody to use these, they'd have to have a vessel which has already been used, so they'd have to clean it of existing residue and dry it, potentially causing damage to the glass. All the manoeuvring in somebody's home and the potential for them to reuse the glass ten/twenty times, and some take better care than others - I think there's a risk factor you need to check for your own benefit.
It's a wonderful idea and the sort of thing I've had a fleeting thought about - it'd reduce product costs hugely, so has financial and environmental credit. Please speak with your insurer and see what is said about customers reusing vessels. If they give you the go-ahead and you make sure you're giving customers the best care advice, then I wish you every single success. | 393 |
£16.99 is cheap for a handmade candle. Totally agree never under value yourself xx | 1,149 |

Bless your heart ❤️ your still not 100% and your still going. Make sure you rest up over the weekend. Xx | 1,862 |
I’ve use superior cocosoy wax but for a while I used cheaper wax but cost me more money trying to fix them. none of my candles worked out. With cocosoy I don’t have to fix and the wax takes to any wick so good. Not used my heat gun since I went back. | 791 |
You need to weigh your FO in grams not mls. Hope this helps xx | 1,482 |
Penhaligon inspired 🤩 | 73 |
I do unscented on my range and use cl10… | 1,055 |
I make both! X | 152 |
Yes, but it has more “masculine” notes to me! | 1,278 |
Wow, never seen that. ( not that I am advanced hehe) but have not seen it yet. Following! | 224 |
Do candles need to be certified if using essential oils as fragrance?? | 138 |
Does the weight include the bottle? X | 592 |
Help! I just cant seem to get a strong heat throw. I'm doing 10% for FO. I heat the wax Ecosoya at 70, adding FO at 65 and pouring 60.
I just don't know if my sense of smell is good since COVID in Jan. 😬😬 | 375 |
I have the same problem with the hexagonal jars, I see your using x | 781 |
I use 464 and paradise beach I think you are on to a winner with stab 14 or 16. I use stabilo 16s and have had good results. 😊👍 | 1,613 |
I have it in both | 1,384 |
Gorgeous stall, my dream! | 102 |
Could just be temperature related | 157 |
Oud & bergamot | 67 |
My advice would be do your own research and don’t listen to negative opinions. Find the wax and FO that are right for you and your brand. 😊 | 1,366 |
Hi is anyone detaching Comforter or Bakewell tatty FO please? Xx | 62 |
brilliant | 1,090 |
I use the same vessles, 464 wax though and CD wicks at 8% and have no issues with Fairy Dust or PB. I also use them both for melts and they work fab. PB is a lighter scent than FD but the HT is still strong its just the scent is lighter If that makes sense x | 1,373 |
Iv been reading up on it all today so realise why it’s in weight. But Thankyou xb | 1,858 |
I’d say mine usually last about 6-8hrs | 1,904 |
Thanks Cheryl - Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Any news on Paradise Beach soap delivery date? | 1,864 |
These look stunning, as does your photo set up 👏🏻 | 2,004 |
Hiya, no, you can rename the fragrances, call them whatever you like*The CLP should be your new name just keep a record in your files of the original name.*make sure you check that your new name isn’t trademarked by someone else. You can do that on the Gov.uk website x | 641 |
Would it be possible to publish a list of fragrances we can use in reed defuser's, and update in Mods etc? X | 1,326 |
Hi there
Can I ask how long you would say a 100ml augeo diffuser lasts ?
We are using 20% fragrance oil and are getting feedback only lasting 6-8 weeks ? | 13 |
I, personally, wouldn't sell it at all, because its dangerous to use neat. I was at a craft fayre few weeks back where someone was selling it and I was mortified to be honest. If they want it they can order it themselves at their own risk. I wouldn't want it on my conscience. | 1,893 |
You need different specific labels for each different wax melt scent ?? | 1,793 |
Rosewood and velvet, beautiful femine fragrance and a really good seller for me, | 273 |
personally I dont like RCX because of flame is all time moving. SCX flame is lovely and steady | 1,657 |
Hi there.. I’m thinking of switching to vegan Auego. Do I need to retest all fragrances and ratios or is it a simple straight swap.. thanks so much | 365 |
😂😂 I’ve literally just bought it and it has some of the same scents in it. But yeah it is. | 933 |
Vanilla Hazelnut is really strong, so is Lemon Sherbet x | 740 |
I do it HOT, heat to 85, fragrance oil at 80, pour at 75-70 but everyone does different so just however you find gives you the best results 🙂 | 865 |
All the Fabulousa range- sells out every time- literally goes back on website and BOOM - out of stock 💥 | 1,422 |
To make 100g of room spray:
3g of Polysorbate 80
2g of phenoxyethanol
3g of fragrance oil
Mix mix mix
92g distilled water
Mix mix mix
Pour into bottles, leave to settle for 24 hours and spray x | 81 |
Hi Cheryl! Hope you are well and feeling better, do you have any news on mint ginger? Thanks | 1,868 |
Well done x | 104 |
Know nothing about woodwicks. But maybe think you use to much FO. The C3 I use is max 6-7%fo load. Search the recommended FO from your wax, not by the supplier but from the manufacturer. And just try it. There are also a lot of FO’s that failed in C3, so I have scents in C3 and in RCX because that worked better. But i am a newbie! This is my own little information I learned. Good luck! 🍀 | 644 |

I have had this smell before with testing...usual
ly because I need to adjust something wick size ect | 1,825 |
In the current batches which women's fragrances have the most faithful copy of the original scent and the most strong, what are the suggestions??? Thank you. | 217 |
Mandarin & Sandalwood is amazing. | 1,510 |
Pink Pepper and Rose is absolutely divine, it's 1 my best sellers xx | 1,771 |
Citronella is widely used for this | 1,599 |
Molly & Me Candles | 1,400 |
I’ve got to speak as I find with all this regulation stuff & I’m not against majority of it. I find some of it crazy. One minute everything is fine & dandy, yes we can sell stuff to the public, the next day it’s considered dangerous & hazardous, never to be used for fear of it killing you. | 1,107 |
I love. Ginger, Lily & Ylang Ylang. My absolute favourite. X | 1,690 |
You could wrap snap bars in greaseproof paper. Maybe then also tie them up with string. | 209 |
I LOVE Cire Trudon, I have the big black and gold limited edition Balmain. It’s so strong it doesn’t have to be lit to smell it 🤩 | 1,631 |
White musk xx | 861 |
Yes, they are exactly the same. Candles do not need any different pictograms on the CLP label than melts. | 551 |
Morning, looking for feedback on winter berries as a seller at Christmas time. I love the fragrance and it’s strong, I believe it’s a dupe for the White Company Winter fragrance? Any feedback would be appreciated x | 437 |
Paula Buxton thanks so much. It looks better than it did… I wish I’d taken a before photo 😅😅!! Xx | 145 |
Try 8% with the cl16 wick | 1,660 |
I take my Soy Wax to 85, I then let is cool to around 65 before I add my scent and then pour at around 55. I get very smooth tops as well. | 1,395 |
Is it because it’s not a vessel intended for candles that it got too hot? | 175 |
Ooo I might change to you for Snow Queen as I get it from another supplier currently 🤔 especially as I have called it The Snow Queen already 😆 that price is amazing too! | 804 |
One teen at home about to sit his Highers. Good luck to everyone! 🍀
Thanks for the update Cheryl ……😍 does this mean I may at long last be able to wick the new Effete in RCX ?!?? Happy days 🥳 | 846 |
Agree on the oak and hazelnut, also something with mulberry in would be great, or peachy now Conte du Fee has been discontinued :(. | 60 |
What fragrance are you using?? | 176 |
I don't use this wax but I would try upping the percentage to say 8%... or use a smaller wick... it's almost as if the wicks are burning down too hot too quickly as there is nothing to keep them "working". Oil can also be a fuel for the wick. Was the flame really small? | 680 |
Hiya, I make candles in my own stone containers. I have one that's an oval planter style container that can hold 350g. I use 3 x lx 8 wicks with paraffin & soy blend. I get upto 35hr burn from them depending on fragrance, so averages approx 10g p/h which I thought was pretty normal for 3 wicks. Iv attempted other wick types and LXs are definitely best. Recently I've seen company's using same container (Altho soy wax)advertising with 60hr burn and even 1 at 75hr burn time. That's 4.6g per hour with 3 wicks. Is that even possible? | 181 |
I've tried English rose. Not a fan. Not smelt the others though x | 1,786 |
Heat to 70. At FO at 65 and pour at 55-50 | 1,254 |
These are so pretty 😍 | 284 |
Would anyone mind sending me a pm also? Thanks | 844 |

Blackcurrant and Tuberose. My son absolutely loves this. 😊 | 239 |
Hi Debbie. Exciting!
What types of wicks do you have? Xx | 1,506 |
I have not tried your wax but maybe try two candles one 1-2% higher fragrance and the other 1-2% lower. | 615 |
Lovely looking stall Jo! Not far from me either, hope you don’t mind I dropped you a message! | 100 |
A few people on here double wick 30cl with CL4's or similar sizes. It definitely can work if you have an awkward wax. But CL8 would be far too big | 1,691 |
Hi (insert name of buyer/owner)
My name is Sharri and I am the owner and creative director of Lumens 13. I’m getting in touch to introduce my products as I would love to be considered as a potential supplier for (insert shop name).
Lumens 13 is a fast growing local business that was born in April 2021 with one goal in mind – to create luxury home fragrance products that really work but don’t contain harmful ingredients or cost the earth. I now have a popular range of soy candles, wax melts and reed diffusers designed to fill any room with long lasting fragrance.
All Lumens 13 products are sustainably handcrafted by me here in Perth. They are made in small batches with lots of love and care, using vegan, cruelty free and non-toxic materials.
I’ve attached a few images along with a wholesale price list – if stocking my products feels like a possibility please get in touch and we can take it from there. I’d be happy to drop in some samples of my current fragrance options.
Thanks for your time 🙂
Sharri

There is already a know fragrance called Myrrh and tonka so if a customer orders it they may expect it to smell differently, maybe call it Divine?? I must be the only person that doesn't like this smell and I really want to 🙈 | 1,620 |
I’d make a full size candle and test that. | 1,560 |
following as ive been wondering this myself too, i wear an organic vapour mask while making but its in the air for a while afterwards | 196 |
