WHY???

I came to reorder and to my surprise, yet another of my top sellers has gone MIA. At this point, I have to find a new manufacturer. I've dealt with these discontinuations for as long as I could. This is becoming a habit for CS and I am very disappointed. I love that CS wants to make the scents safer, but who is the chemist that is working on the revisions?? They have to be nose blind because the revisions NEVER EVER smell like the original that our customers have grown to love. How is an artisan supposed to build a business like this when CS habitually changes the formula for fragrances that are tried and true. I spent lots of money and time in selecting waxes and fragrances for my brand all to find out yet another of my TOP SELLERS has met its demise. DO BETTER CS or you will lose LOYAL customers. I'm so disgusted with this company at this point. Keep your apologies because they do nothing for the customers I have to disappoint. Naturally, CS doesn't care, because it doesn't affect them. New customers come aboard daily and have no idea of the struggles the LOYAL customers have dealt with. My eyes are rolling so hard in disgust that I can't stand myself right now. I just CAN NOT with these CONSTANT revisions. I've been a CS customer for over 5 years now and have lost at least 5 of my top selling fragrances. Annoyed and frustrated is an understatement. I give up.

Disappointed

Wow.... Two of my best sellers are completely ruined now because of this revision. The new Amber Noir truly does not smell anything like the original. Please re work your formula to have the FO smell like the original!

Best seller!

Omg! As soon as I received the email this morning of the discontinue noticed I immediately ordered to stock up because this is my best seller. Can’t we keep them both CS? The new version has different notes and I’m a bit scared it’s not going to replace the original Amber Noir!

Disappointed in Candle Science

This is my personal favorite and one of my top selling scents. The new version has a completely different scent profile and it’s supposed to be indistinguishable?! Candle science has been a let down on many levels lately and this makes me feels as though I’m on my last leg with this company.

Constant changes

This fragrance is amazing. I learned today that it will being discontinued. I have spent a lot of time and money to get the right wax and fragrances to build my candle company. In the past few years, CS has discontinued at least 4 of my top selling fragrances and substituted it for something that smells nothing like the original. All you get is a canned apology. I dealt with the changes and adjusted. Now here goes another one of my signature fragrances down the drain. I’m seriously considering finding a new and consistent manufacturer for my business because this has become a habit for CS and that affects my business gravely. Disappointment is an understatement!

Business Owner

I am sooooo disappointed in this scent .I have used it for a while and it has had an amazing hot throw and it burned with a great scent .I recently purchased more and the scent in the bottle is very light and I tested it and there is no hot throw and the cold throw is no existent. I still have the sample that I got and it smells amazing and you can clearly tell that something is very different with this scent.And it would be nice if it could be fixed.

Hi There! We're so sorry to hear you have been having trouble with your finished candles! While Amber Noir has not changed and has not been revised, hot throw issues are quite common in candle making and typically a few adjustments can really help increase the throw of your finished product. A member of our Support Team will be reaching out shortly to help troubleshoot this issue with you!

Product changed :( :(

This used to be one of my top sellers in the shop and I’ve been using it for years, and the scent of the candle while burning was absolutely perfect... The last few times I’ve purchased this scent, there is absolutely no hot throw scent. I’ve wasted so much time and money to try and make adjustments to get it back to normal, but with no success. Please fix this scent!😩

I was so excited about this one, out of the bottle it smells amazing. When I poured it at 185 degrees to my soy 464 and waited for it to cure 2 weeks (torturous). I have zero hot throw, if CS has any advise please reach out, Id like to put this one in my line.
