Thats pretty cool. I love the idea of giving candle buyers not only a chance to create their own scent, but also kinda get a peek behind the curtain of candle making.

Great video, did he mention what wick/size he used? I am a beginner and I am confused how they pick 1 wick to go with all those different fragrance oils.

Thanks Wade, this is an awesome idea. Great information. I watch a few of your videos twice and this will be one of them

This is a beautiful concept. Love it so much. Thanks for this video!

Loved this video! I’m only an hour from KoP so I will definitely check them out. I’m so curious to see how they cool the candles so people can take them in 30 minutes. I use coco/apricot wax and it can take two hours or more to set.

Yah certain waxes just flat out won't work. Lol

This would be so much fun to attend even though I make candles. I don’t sell them. I feel like I haven’t found the wax, wick combo yet. I have plenty of vessels and plenty of wax.

VERY interesting video to show different avenues of candle making, the behind story and business model. How was the hot throw when burned? Interesting how the mix and pour happened. He uses soy blend at 170. Is it PB600 or IGI6006?

It's neither but fairly close to 600

WoW This was great to watch!! I have This wick question. IT looks like THE wicks were allready in THE jars. Do all THE fragrances get THE same wick? Thans from THE Netherlands. Btw Lets open à bar overhere 💫👌

@BlackTieBarn

They have done a lot of testing. He said most get the same yes. If it's too different they probably wouldn't use that FO

This is an awesome concept. I do have one question. Is the customer free to pick any oil? What happens if a customer picks a very dense oil combination, how do they know the wicking will work?

@BlackTieBarn

11 ай бұрын

It could happen but with their testing of all their oils I believe the majority or all work with what they have and have tested

thank you for this video, But I am wondering how come customer will mix different oils of his preference and the wick is their already, and I am learning now that different oil might need different wick

@BlackTieBarn

6 ай бұрын

The short answer is that he has ashtray tested the oils and using oils that work well with the same wick. Yes... different fragrance oils CAN change the such size but not always. Just sometimes. :)

Do you have the customer add there own wax? If so do you have them sign a waiver

Currently in our second year as a family business and struggling to scale up to keep up with demand

Hi Wade, I love the vlog. May I ask how are they accelerating the wax coming process? Are they putting them in a cool water bath or in a fridge? Or is it because they use a soy & praffran blend?

I thought paraffin is a bad wax to use because it’s a petroleum product. It’s not clean.

In Europa they say you should not mix fragrances on your own as you do not know how the chemicals interact... 😮

I think that is meant more for mixing raw materials fragrances and developing your own. These ate just blending pre-made oils. They also test these . :)

@@BlackTieBarn Okay, I understand! 🌹 In any case, he has a beautiful space and it s a brilliant idea 💡! 🌹 ❤️ Thank you for showing us!

Q tips and an empty jar/container would seem to be a better way to measure the ratio. Just saying. Great concept though.

But doesn’t this concept go against nearly everything we know to do to properly test a fragrance, in our wax of choice with wicks that produce a fantastic result???

@BlackTieBarn

11 ай бұрын

Not really. They do ample testing. And that's why there is a specific set of oils, jars, and wax used. Yes someone could do some craY unexpected ratio that might make it not 100% ideal but if that's the case the ratios of each don't make a huge overall impact. Plus, this is more of an experience than making luxury candles for a boutique ya know. Like a painting party with friends vs real painting lessons. There might be an occasional bust but that can be addressed or replace I imagine. I also imagine it's rare. :)

@shopwildvenus

I dont think this concept would work in the uk (sadly) because each candle would need a warning label relating to each fragrance oil blend used. But it seems like C+C do a fair amount of testing to make sure the candles will burn well.
