I'd bring the % down

Cheryl Maclean thanks for the update. I notice that you mention spiced orange yet on the website it says it won't be reformulated as it changes the scent too much, what's different now x

CS1 users. Having a little bit of play with this wax as an alternative for some fragrances. Can I ask what depth would you suggest leaving for top up, how long do you wait before doing it and does anyone know the science for the dipping. 🤔

Oh god. More stuff. 😱😳 I need handcuffing. Honestly. I ordered the sapphire glasses & ruby glasses. They are lovely. The sapphire ones are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve waited so long for blue glasses. Like I haven’t got a big enough range of glassware already on my shelves. 🫣 I forgot to order 2 bottles of fragrance oils as well.…. This is terrible. I need committing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Looking for some advice please. This is 30cl Lottie. CL14 Paradise beach @ 7% It hasn't gotten to a FMP .. why ? Is it - The wick isnt large enough or the FO is too strong ? Thank you all SO much

Amazing in wax melts 😍

- I am probably a new candlemaker compared to most people in this group! Started experimenting and learning this time last year and launched my business in September last year. - I've always loved candles and scents, and I initially just wanted a more gentle hobby that wasn't just watching tv / reading etc. - My business is Ukrainian-theme d (which is where my family is from). I started it because I wanted to show people Ukrainian culture, and with the war now it's even more important! I would like to get stocked in more brick and mortar shops this year (so far I sell in two). - I would probably learn how to be more efficient in making big batches earlier on, probably a lot of time wasted learning to do that when demand suddenly picked up a bit. - 3 wishes: -For people (customers, lol) to understand the work that goes into making a candle - For CLP regulations to be made more straightforward - For the amber lottie 30cl to always be in stock :D

It depends on the oil. The big question is “how long do you want a diffuser to last?” If it lasts for 12 months, it’s basically not working and you don’t have a business. I’d suggest 6-12 weeks is reasonable for a small diffuser. Once you know how long you want your diffusers to last, you can start developing (or choosing) fragrances to hit that timeframe. We are launching diffuser recipes in the next few weeks with a target median diffusion time of 8 weeks (I think). So, we will be able to tell you exactly which fragrances will diffuse and at what rate. In my opinion - and it is just an opinion - a 100ml - 150ml diffuser should not last more than 10-12 weeks. If you’ve got a diffuser that’s still half full after 6 months….it’s not really diffusing, and even if it is, you don’t have a business.

I need your advice on vacuum discs. Has anyone had any issues? I've seen so many people say they've ruined Hoovers 😭 How many do you all do at a time and at what ratio. Say if I made 30 at a time how do I work out how much Augeo and FO. Will the fragrance oil melt the Hoover's 😂 I'm so worried.

Clare Johns and Jo Colman-Bown Thank you for sharing this! Will try out both suggestions. Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for a nice subtle vanilla fragrance - does anyone have any recommendations? 😊 x

Making little wax melts to give away in tradeshows or during market days or gifts for friends! Spreading the word of your product!

Can I take La vie Est Belle and baby powder if still avail x

Can you let me know pls

You need perfumers alcohol rather than IPA

Have you tried magic CLP

Honey and tobacco is beautiful 😍

Hi! What is the amount for alcohol in 5 litres of CS fragrance oils? I need to declare this for customs. Thanks for your help!

Me too please! 🤍

Hi Susan, You are able to follow our Candle Recipe via https:// candle-shack.co. uk/products/ 30cl-passion-fru it-and-mango-in -rcx?_pos=2&_si d=d8d89dd4e&_ss =r

After reading the reviews and a few FB comments, I was wondering what you guys thought of Night Blooming Jasmine? I’m looking for something with a strong orange blossom and gardenia smell, which is what I’m thinking I’ll get from this fragrance but would love to hear your thoughts first.

I just received my samples.. so following on name suggestions. X

Sorry if this is not allowed but can someone please tag me in the request new fragrances post....if there is one. Thank you 😊

If you’re in the uk you’ll need UKCA certification if you want to sell it as well and it’ll need to meet en71 toy standards & British standards x

I received my fragrance oils in the post my Royal Mail today from two suppliers

Black cherry is extremely strong. Not my favourite but most people love it and love how strong it is!

All of the above I think. And shut the front door! I didn’t make it🙃🙃🙃

Wow 🤩 exciting can't wait. U guys r soooo amazing u just keep thinking of everything we need !!! Thank you 😂

Hi everyone. I’ve recently started out making candles and I could really use your insight please: I’ve followed the instructions on Candle shack however, I can’t seem to get the candle to burn evenly and I can’t get a good hot throw. I’m using RCX wax, 20 CL tin containers (7 and 8 diameters) and CL 12 and CL 14 wicks. The fragrance oils are Awakening and Starry night. have heated the wax to the right temp, added fragrances and poured accordingly. I used 180 grams of wax plus 18 grams of fragrance oil as I have found this fills my containers exactly. I let them cure for a week and use a digital thermometer. I know there’s frosting, I don’t mind that. However, I noticed the wax cracks, you can see this in the 1st image. Is this normal and if not how can I avoid it? Do I need to wick up, e.g. CL16? Any suggestions for a better hot throw? Please & Thank you.

I make melts so I let them smell them..as melts and diffusers throw scent completely differently...i t's just a rough gauge really.

Good luck !

Anyone got CLP for Apple Strudel and Spice??? Its not on the online CLP creator on the website. Not sure why not, but i need a CLP for this fragrance :(

For candles? I test a little bottle, my formula for a strong, wide HT is near perfect now so if I don't get it woth a couple of test runs I sack the oil off and move on x

How long did u cure them for?

TCR 33/18 wick and 10% fragrance oil. I hope this helps x

All Craftovator fragrance oils are strong, it depends on what percentage you put in for the strength of fragrance. 😊 x

I may have to stock up on a couple of those :)

Or most popular at the minute is bahama mama

I have Rcx wax, 30 cl glass jar, Lushious vanilla fragrance 8%and wooden wick LB3. The flame is shutting down after few hours. What wick size you use?

Beautiful space 😍

I did that for baby shower favours. It's lovely.

Where can we purchase the perfumers bottles ?

Damson plum, rose & patchouli ❤️

No. The restriction applies to any non-cosmetic product - it doesn't matter wax or diffsuer base etc. Lilial hazard classfication changed and that has nothing to do with products it's used in. If the content of lilail in any final product is 0.3% or more than it triggers exploding chest picto linked to 1b rep hazard, which makes the product too hazardous to sell to the public.

Probably going to be 2-3 wicks, as 10cm is almost certainly too big for a single wick. Wick(s) will depend on the soy you are using, as these too vary enormously.

Hello Shackers, Happy Tuesday, Have you all had a good day? I wanted to create a lets get to know you post. It's been a while and there are so many new people in the group. I thought it would be a great idea to… More get to know each other and to ask a few other questions. Whether you are new to the community or have been here for a while, please do get involved. Introduce yourself and tell everyone a little about yourself. Are you a new Candle Maker, Hobbyist or business? Who or What inspired you to get in to Home fragrance? What are your aspirations for you or your business, where would you like to be? Do you have another business, if so what kind of business is it? If you knew back at the beginning… More

Cheryl Maclean Sorry to hijackbut my post hasnt been approved by admin… Is there any update on Ifra affected FOs such as LG & Ginger Effete Peony Blush Dark Hon & Tob Fireside? 🙂

It depends on the type of wax you are using as they all have different max % oil recommendations

DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED - I HAVE A MULTIPLE AMOUNT OF 30cl & 33CL Matte black jars with chrome and matte black wooden lids, I also have multiple Fragrance oils, 50ml, 100ml, 125ml, 500ml. I bought these as a hobby while I was off sick from work however I am now returning - paid nearly £500 for it all and want to sell it too someone who could use it! BASED IN THE UK, UK POSTAGE ONLY! 🇬🇧 If anyone is interested, please PM me!

🖤 NEW FRAGRANCE 🖤 BLACK ROSE & OUD - A strong, woody fragrance with fruity top notes, a rich red heart of rose and geranium with a hint of spice, finishing with a base of oud and patchouli finished with powdery musk. Available now: https://www.randallscandles.co.uk/products/black-rose-oud-fragrance-oil

The reason for the lack of response to your question after a day in this group is probably down to your naivety in how you posed this question. For instance, I could point you to the RCX container wax and CL series of wicks as a starting block. RCX is fairly easy to work with, but does have a low melting point. This means it can be easily reset, but does mean that it can sweat in transit when the weather isn't favourable to it. The wick size would be dependent upon firstly your candle glass size, and secondly, how the fragrances perform with that candle size. For instance if they're burning too quickly and too hot, you need a smaller wick size. If you're not achieving a decent melt pool, it may be worth testing a bigger size. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for the other, so you need to do a lot of testing. People can point you in directions, but ultimately you have to find your own formulas within that direction.

Oooh 😍 definitely getting some woth my next order!

Morning all. Just looking to see how many of you just have your brand name on front of the candle and add fragrance name on the bottom?

I LOVE this!!!!!!!

Penhaligons Halfeti ...divine fragrance 🥰

Hello Hope you’re all well Does anyone know the regulations of what I would need to sell liquid hand soap using craftovator fragrances Kind regards

I use perfumers alcohol with 5% fragrance oil with good results

Hi, sorry to barge in on this thread but, where would you get an assessment from? Are there any companies that you would recommend?

Hi I’m testing Le vie est belle 10% fragrance to 100g wax and can’t smell the wax melts can anyone advise please x

Thank you both for your help! 😀

Coconut lime and pink sands 😍😍

Baby powder & clean cotton. They always sell very well.

Any 500ml left i will take them please

I’ve just gone on my banking app to check the balance, see if I can get something else & it screamed 😡 at me, "Listen Sharon, I’m all out of f**ks and money. Go and play with your sheep or something…." So I did 😭😣😂 No more spends for a bit 😭

Good Afternoon Lovelies, Happy Friday to you all. Just a quick post to say that the New Peony & Blush Suede is now live on the website :0) We have received more mods today for testing, one being Effete. This is with the lab and is being tested. I will have something to burn over the weekend. It smells the same which is good, the lab will do some testing. We are waiting for more Fragrance to carry out proper burn tests..... exciting!

I have not launched but I am using 30cl.

Hi, What’s your favorite fragrance from Candle shack? I would like to test some, i don’t know what to buy.🤣🤣

It will depend on how your making the body wash from scratch x

Love this ❤ even better as I use HPM for my wax melts already. Will be giving this a go for sure.

This is a lovely smell - did anyone find an oil please? I’d love to know ! Thank you x

Hi everyone! New on here….Scrolling through comments and some great suggestions on here. Just wondering if anyone has found a CS fragrance oil, that best mimics the fresh morning dew smell. Any suggestions please? Thank you 

Hi everyone I am looking for very strong fragrances I have bought loads, just lately I am buying loads of testers and can’t find anything really strong. I know our nose’s are all different and sometimes I am totally nose blind . I have tried a lot believe me and they all seem subtle. Bluebell woods , snapdragon and patchouli,black cherry, spring awakening,dazzle, rhubarb and custard, ruby jasmine, all great strong throws . Thinking about tobacco and honey anyone tried that x

Spring awakening and black cherry are really strong ?? Maybe try baby powder?? Xx

Which wax would people recommend for melts? Or, what do I look for? Wax for pillars/melts and NOT container wax?

I use a Cambridge jar (a real 30cl), kerasoy , Damsom plum and there’s no need to double wick.

If your used to working with Rcx then stick with it and use 9cl coloured glass 👍

Fresh unstoppables and dove are really strong x

Hello everyone, Im into candle making and I bout the monoi coconut fragrance oil and I’ve realised it later that it was in the soap fragrances list. I would like to know if I can use it in candles or is it not worthy ? Thank you ☺️

I have a CS restrictions order from my husband, and my bank account 😂. But my shopping cart is already filled on the website. Only have to push the button… noooo Joyce… don’t do it. Behave… 🙈🙈

My candle appears to be sweating on the surface. Is it still safe to burn? The fragrance load was 8% and using soy464, flashpoint is 97. I’m just new to candles 🕯

Hi Paula, I can confirm that the oil is a blend of 100% natural materials :)

Try dropping fragrance to 5%

There is one for mango peach salsa too but I can’t remember it’s name. And it’s a very good dupe x

You can run an air purifier machine while you’re making them. They circulate the air and filter it

Welcome to the family

I'm waiting to very impatiently lol

I FAILED! 🙈I placed another order today for a variety of new wicks and Cigar Lounge 🙈 I'm by no means an expert, but I think the stronger hot throw further down the glass is to do with the increased heat as the candle burns. I've noticed that as the glass get hotter, with some fragrances the HT becomes stronger.

Yesterday, I made my first wax melts. Today, I have a few questions! The picture of the left is a bought melt and the picture on the right I made. Questions 1. What should an average melt weigh be? 2. I bought ten in a box, box has 100g on it. Should the melt’s weigh about 10g each? 3. How long should the fragrance last for each melt? 4. Is there a burn test sheet for melt or do I use the candle burn test? Any help would be grateful received.

Hello all, please can anyone advise about fragrance samples to give away. I'm thinking a room spray squirt on a card, does it need CLP? Are certain room spray bases better than others for this? Thank you 🙂

Cigar lounge 😍

Great idea I’m going to see whats available 👍
