Caribbean Teakwood

I don't have much more to say than this is a great scent! I use it in candles, and it has a decent cold/hot throw. A staple in my candles.

I thought this was going to smell like the typical man scent but it doesn't. I absolutely love this scent and my customers can't seem to get enough. I do get a powdery scent but it's subtle. It isn't great at first whiff but it is amazing in my body butter cream and body wash formulations.

The scent wasn't something I wasn't expected either, I don't smell any floral from the scent. But it does have a bit of spice in the beginning. I would use this scent as a finisher or the beginning of the scent to round it off towards the end. That's what I plan to do with Black Moss and Amber. So the scent is completed and has depth. It's still a good scent on it's own.

I expected this to blow me out of the carribean water. I assumed it would be some woodsy tropical scent. I was so wrong. OOB it is not pleasant. All I smelled upon first wiff was yucky powder. I was greatly dissappointed. and for month I tried to smell the other smells described, but all i could smell was powder. I cant stand the smell of powder in products. But later I finally began to smell the woods, ever so slightly, so finally I would decide to put this to the test. Used in 464 at 10 percent, and boy was it strong. so strong it would give me a headache if I had to be around it burning for too long. I only made a few of these in the batch, to avoid it if it was a no go. I picked up the candle just the other day and to my surprise, it has a strong CT, and finally it has melded appropriately into the wax i feel (after 6 months tho) and I can smell the spicy smokey wood and teak. I actually think burning it will be very heavenly and not show up too powdery. I think if i'd decreased the percentage maybe to 8 or 6, perhaps the woods and masculine would stick out more. Over all i was surprised I actually like this alot. no it isnt my favorite, but it def has it's own unique twist to teakwood and the carribean and if youre looking for out of the box, pick up a smaller size and try it out. It isn't something you can find easily.

I don’t smell wood. I smell powder. With OOB WITH CT AND HT. However , I have candles that have been made a while ago and I noticed the smell is better but I still smell powder. I do not smell leather at any point in its journey but I do smell more woods the longer it cures. I use 100% soy.
