I actually lit my Jack Frost Yankee Candle tonight. I just love this scent. I have it in tarts and tea lights too! It is one of the few candles I have (I have been melting more tarts lately). Have a great evening everyone!

Once again I purchased a candle from Pier 1 because I loved the cold throw...you think I would learn that everytime I do this I am diappointed with the throw once it is lit! So, I used it in my mosaic candle holder for a few days as all I need there is the light inside. I was about to throw out the little nub and decided to see what would happen in a melter with a tea light. Way better! That small piece of Asian Spice candle as a tart has enough throw to cover the bathroom.. Not a lot, but certainly more than as its life as a candle!

Boogie-

I am not sorry I asked, glad I could help you vent! ; )

 

The new oil burner, while cute-is not throwing a smell at all! : (

The bulb is only a 4 watt-not even hot enough to do more than warm the bowl-its only rated for 7 max! Any suggestions? I love the look of the darn thing, but am wondering what I could use to get some aroma out there...

 

At any rate- DH has something going that smells like pancakes, and try as I might-can't find it??...

I am not sure what I am going to put on, maybe some peppermint to cut that maple out..

Hi Cat - is that the one I also ordered? Did you use straight oil or did you mix it with water? (That does sound like a wimpy bulb).

Debra-

Yes it is, and I used straight oil that I ordered with it. Nada. Switched to BBW Twisted Peppermint-got some scent for a while, not bowl you over-but at least it was there. Then decided to experiment with some soy melts-chipped off a little bit and threw it in to see if I could get any sort of melt. Looked like soft mush after a few hours, no throw.

 

So I have moved it to the smallest powder room to see if I can get something in there. I am going to check with the manufacturer to see if there is an alternative-I am thinking that I can probably still use the bowl on a different socket...

Burned that tin I found from Two Blue Company, Sleigh Ride. Double wicked. Practically no scent throw, though. Very disappointed.

Just started a candle - PI's Snow Clouds. I'm going through tarts like there's no tomorrow so I'm slowing it down a little by going back to my 'candle roots' and will keep something burning on my desk while I work.......Might as well ;)

 

ETA: I had to put out Snow Clouds - It's a great room scent to me, but not a good desk scent - I'm finding it kinda strong when you're sitting right on top of it! lol So, I'm now melting (yeah, back to the melts) CHC's Hummingbird Cake!
