Blending fragrance oils and setting yourself apart from other candle makers 

Fragrance Families/Group Notes Oriental - Vanilla, Cinnamon (These are oriental spices) Floral - Rose, Freesia, Jasmine, Plumeria (Be advised Jasmin and Rose are quite different) Aromatic - Sage, Ginger (Herbal-ish notes) Wood/Moss - Sandalwood, Oud, Cedar (Deep, Earthy, Masculine) Citrus - Lemon, Orange, Mandarin (Fresh and Clean) Fruity - Apple, Watermelon, Passionfruit (Sweet and Juicy) Almost every fragrance ever will open with a citrus or fruit note (Top Note) then follows a floral middle (Heart Note) and then almost always a Wood or Oriental base note this is to give your scent body and background. If you want to build your own scent with top quality longevity follow this.

I literally love that the cat in just hanging out in the video! So cute

Just wanted to point out that you have an incredible coworker assiting behind you. Couldn't get my eyes off of them because they did an excellent job. Please give them a raise of lot's of kitty treats :)

This is the love of my life and he doesn’t know it..

I love blending oils. My candles are alcohol scented with coconut soy wax. So it’s like making a drink. I also check the undertones they have.

This is a very common tactic in vape shops is they'll mix flavors. I mix my own fragrances as well to keep my products a bit more exclusive. I have a few good scents like Oudh Abyadh Misk, Japanese Amber, Mukhallat Iterji and Extravagant One. I may try to create more because they are all in popular demand.

You are the ABSOLUTE BEST on explaining EVERYTHING candle! Thanks tons👍💯😉

Can you dip a qtip in each scent put them in a zip lock bag and test it like that? Ex. 1 qtip in lavender another in sandalwood

I created a fragrance and named it after my new grandbaby.

I started blending oils for soaps first, because they were my original product. I still do soap, skin care and now a few candles. I started blending with the small 1oz. bottles we all get as samples. I bought perfume blending sticks and would work off those to help design a new scent, therefore not wasting precious oils. I hope this helps some of the others wanting to learn how to blend. I thought it was something you kind of missed in talking about blending oils. Feel free to share it on a video. As always another enjoyable video! ;)

Thank you for the tips Jeff! Thank you for your time and energy. I have a list of 22 “concept candles.” 🙌🏻😁

Cat : Hey, lets talk about the different litter you buy me and the quality of the scoop-ability and crappy clump properties... DAD !! LOL

Go to target and smell the scents. BUY , YES BUY !!.....The scents you like and put your own twist on it. Help support other candle makers.

Thanks...I have just started doing that and Ihave tried 50/50. Loving forward to the wax blending video

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your time and exceptional expertise sage wisdom. You are an awesome great instructor with an incredible servants heart. Bless you. Mucho Gracias

Thanks for sharing. We are in the process of expanding past honey and these videos provide a wealth of knowledge.

This was another great video I am starting my own Custom candle business and this just hit some things right on the nail for me thank you great watch!,

Thanks Jeff!! Great advice. I was honestly thinking about this today lol

Thank you Jeff. Hi Kiki!

Thanks for the great advice. I love your shirt. How can I get a black one with the same color writing in a womans v neck

Great work I have around 300 fragrance perfumes can I add that to my candles ? For example I have katty Barry fragrance can I add that to the soy wax to make it unique? If yes how can I do that ? Please?

Just found your channel and you do awesome at explaining since ive never made a candle before and would love to try it.ive been buying Halloween style/scented candles from Get Fictional but would love to try my own.by the wax i love the cat popping up in your videos lol its too funny.thanks man

The best videos hands down !

OMG I love KiKi!

Thanks for ALWAYS sharing 😁

Thanks for the tips ! Very much appreciated!

Can you make a video while mixing fragrance oils? Please

Thank you Jeff!!

Hey Bud, Can I add my fragRance oils to my jars and then pour my wax into the glass? Then stir it while it’s in the glass? Thanks! Great Channel!

Yes i blend my own oils even for soap. Some i reveal and note is as my own, i tell others if u see anyone with my own this is where it originated. Sone i rename to give nothing away. And portion can change any scent. I tend to know my blends and may not need to measure bcs my nose will recall how much of what i put in to make up what i originally done. I can mix a dirty scent and make it very light and subtle. But yes ur correct.

Great information 👍

Hi I was just wondering how you would make your clp labels when blending fragrances? If I want to use between 2-4 scents how would that work? Thank you :)

Thank you so much for this video!

How-to video on this who be great!!

Love your videos

Hi! Thanks for this video, I started making candles about 3 months ago. Two of my fragrances are just different proportional blends of 2 scents, and they smell so different. I make beeswax candles, 16oz mixed with 4oz of coconut oil (after so much trial and error, this works better than strictly beeswax). Would you happen to know where I could look for info on how much coconut oil would be safe to add to my beeswax? Saving a little more money in production would be great, but I’m afraid I don’t know enough about waxes...

Thank you it was very helpful

Greta tips! Thank you!

Would love to try to duplicate Le labo santal 33 fragrance 😁

In your opinion, when it comes to experimenting would one be able to just mix the oils without making them into a candle and still get a good sense of what the smell would be or is it best to actually make the candle with the experimental mix and then test the smell? And if one can just mix oils without making them into a candle to test the smell would they have to use the same amount of each oil that an actual candle would call for or could they just mix like five to six drops of each oil? If it were you what would you do during experimentation? Thanks in advance!

orange patchouli is a favorite of mine

how does it work when they say base note, bottom note etc...can you explain that

Hi! Hoping you’ll notice this. Just wanted to ask if you would know if Northwood is a good supplier for FO’s? I’m from the Philippines and there’s really no good option for quality ingredients so I’m gonna have to source out of my country. I’m looking for the most cost-efficient supplier for worldwide shipping. Thanks for being such a great candle guru! :)

Great video, so helpful! Cute cat also :)

I been trying lavender, peppermint, lemon, rosemary it all smells like this menthol sticks you put up in your nose ☹️need some kelp

Hi, I really love your video made about making candles. I am also making a candles with peppermint oil but the smell when I burnt candles did not make me feel that is minty. Bc it is not strong ( i did not even smell minty in that ). Please give me some advices . Thanks

I am having such a problem with my hot throw,candle smells great cold and nothing when lit,I’m doing everything at the right temperatures so what is going wrong?

Hi Stanley, i hope you notice my comment. Just wanted to ask why does my candle smells like a burnt candle or something. Like burnt wood? Im using a cotton wick and pure soy with 10% FO thanks ♥️

I have a question..Are there any dangers to mixing oils? and this is unrelated but is there certain things we are not allowed to put in our candles? because i've seen many people put in dried rose petals and such. I love your videos!

Thank you for your videos I'm just starting my business Nostalgic Candles about 2 months ago. I'm in Texas and I havent made a killing but my products just got put into a store. Do you have any advice. She is charging me $60 a month plus her commission I guess.

Hi at what temp do you pour in the fragrance oil? I've been having difficultly with getting my candles to give off a strong scent.

Very good thank u

Thank You.

Hi Standley! I’m very new to candles, but I made the decision to blend my own oils because I’d like to separate myself. How do you go about testing wicks with the mixed fragrances? If I’m understanding correctly, some FOs require different wicks. Also, is testing HT more difficult?

Hey standley, love your videos. Do you think that big candle companies like P.F. Candle Co and Homesick candles blend multiple fragrances containing one scent rather than just buying one fragrance oil with many different notes?

Do you make your own stock blends to have on hand or just blend as you’re making a batch of candles? I’m thinking from the aspect of what to store them in (glass, perhaps?). Thanks for another very helpful video!

The kitty!!

Wow!! Thanks this is exactly my marketing plan making my own fragrances... can I make testers on a piece of plastic wrap to get an idea if a blend smells good enough to pour into the wax? Or is there another material I can use for testing?

I mixed watermelon and hibiscus from candle science 50/50 and it was like the fragrance kinda had a little liquid at the top and it was mushy dats after. Any suggestions?

Can you mix FOs and EOs?

So can I mix different fragrance oils in their own bottle after I find the scent combo I've created?

Hey i want to know if u have any experience with using grapeseed oil as a fragrance in candle making, I simmer the oil and plants to extract the smell but i want to know if its safe to use im my soy wax candles

Is it okay for me to go ahead and premix the oil and store them in a container until I’m ready to make another batch?

Love your videos, so much help and knowledge. An unrelated question.....do you or have you ever sold on Etsy and how do you feel about that site as a sales point. Thank you again!

I’m just starting and wanted to ask about selling as a hobby. Do you you need a DBA ? Especially if your putting a name on your product. Any help would be great

You should colab with FragranceView, different crafts but similiar field/audience I’d imagine

I blend my own perfume scents & it gets notice

Would you recommend essential oil or fragrance oil ?

what do you think about leather and patchouli

I am a total noob when it comes to blending oils and for that reason i just tend to use a 50/50 ratio

Do you give class?

Can paraffin wax be blend with gel wax?

Can I use designer oils in candles?

👍

What is considered " Triple Scented"?

So I've been getting my FO from lone star. But i read on their wedsite that their FO is mostly synthetic. But on the bottle is says premium fragrance oil. How can a synthetic oil be premium? & is there any place that sells natural fragrance oil??

Do you have a recommendation on a company for fragrance oil, for beginners? I tried my local craft stores and was not pleased with the quality which I’m sure is not shocking.

💪💪💪❤️ TY!

Do you have a Patreon???????

i can't focus cuz of the cat hahaha
