Title: accent collection - made a candle with ... Post by: Iulia on February 16, 2015, 10:15:52 PM well I just ordered some samples of Helen's accent collection
and I wasn't in the mood to make soap tonight and I planned to get going on candles again during the christmas holidays, but events derailed ... so, I made a candle (yeah just one sorry not a big production line here) :mwaha: with vanilla and tobacco leaf. dunno how it will burn but the house smells freakin' AWESOME!

Would love to know how it burns (and thank you for sharing that :buttrf:)

I haven't thought of combining it with vanilla, that would be lively... Thought it smelled nice with sandalwood or a hint of patchouli :) Title: Re: accent collection - made a candle with ... Post by: Iulia on February 17, 2015, 10:07:04 AM I'm not a candle expert - but I used 8% FO, with a 6% tobacco, 2% vanilla mix.
It smells - in fact the whole house does :mwaha: fab this morning. The vanilla 'seems' to be dominating more than I expected - or would have liked - but that might be different when it burns. I'm using a blended wax from Candle Shack which is very nice, but I'm wondering if I should switch to only soy. More because its easy to clean than any particular conviction about soy :mwaha: Title: Re: accent collection - made a candle with ...
