Fresh Coffee

So far I've mixed Fresh Coffee with both Pumpkin Caramel Crunch and Chocolate Fudge and it is AMAZING in both!!! I've sold sooo many Pumpkin Caramel Coffee candles I can barely keep in it stock and I'm not complaining lol!!! It's my #1 Best Seller!! Love it! Thanks CS!:)

This revision is absolutely terrible, I gaged when making it and couldn’t stand the smell burning it. Another disappointing revision!

My first order on the site included a 1ounce Fresh coffee. it was an instant hit at work, and my roommates loved how our home smelled for days and days. I got inspired, and ordered the next size up.
the second bottle was nothing like the smaller version. It had a very burnt smell right out of the bottle. Being new to this, I assumed it might have been because there was a lot more of it in one spot, so maybe that had an effect. I measured out an ounce and made two samples. It made the house smell bad. I tried using a little less on batch two, and while it wasnt bad, It wasnt pleasant either. Batches three and four, I used a little less and a little less, and the cold throw is like a weird chemically burnt coffee.

I can see this being a big seller, based on my experience with the smaller bottle. I loved it almost as much as my dog (almost...). Im going to try the one ounce again and see what happens

I'm new to candlemaking and looking for the perfect coffee scent to add to some nice glass coffee mug vessels that I purchased. when opening the bottle, the smell was strong and "chemically" and smelled burnt. I made a candle using 9% and the cold throw is strong and fairly decent. When burning the candle, it gives off a "sickly" coffee scent that is overpowering. Smells like coffee mixed with something toxic. I gave it to a friend to test and she stated that it was a bit much for her senses. Very artificial smell

When I first opened the bottle, I was not impressed. Thought it didn't really smell like coffee. After making the candles and letting them sit for a week with cling wrap covering the tops, the house smelled fantastic! Coming home from work the house smelled like fresh coffee and I hadn't even burned them yet. Lit them tonight and love them.

When I bought this, I smelled it out of bottle, and it was absolutely fantastic. Exactly like coffee grounds. I let it sit in my cabinet (away from light and heat) for a week or two, and when I went to go make some candles, it did not smell like coffee grounds out of the bottle, and had strange notes that almost smelled burnt or nutty. It's as though contact with air caused the scent to change somehow.

I'm going to make a few candles and let them sit for a week or so to see if the scent changes, but I'm not sure if I can buy this one again if it doesn't.

I agree with everyone - mine smelled horrible when I first got it. I contacted customer service and they suggested letting the candles sit for a bit. After a week that gross after smell went away and they smell nice now. The oil smells better now too after waiting a week.

I know it sucks to wait, but coffee is one of my best sellers, it's worth the wait.

Unfortunately, I've got to agree with a lot of the recent reviewers. I ordered a bottle because several of my customers were asking for a coffee candle. When I opened the bottle, I didn't care for the fragrance, but I thought it might mellow a bit once it was combined with 464. Therefore, I made a tester candle for customers to smell. Nope...HUGE turnoff. Several said it smelled like tuna. Unfortunately, I have to agree that it's not optimal.

That said, I will check out the hazelnut coffee fragrance to see if that's any better, but I'd love to see if CS can create a Fresh Ground Coffee FO to replace this one. Basically like walking through the coffee aisle at your grocery store. That would sell like hot wassail off an Old Williamsburg street cart in late-November.

Candles made with this fragrance smell like strong BLACK coffee (no cream, no sugar). It is a wonderfully powerful scent. If you like strongly scented candles, this is a must.

I bought this scent, to make a special candle for a very close friend and I went to take a whiff and it did not smell like fresh coffee. And it made my stomach churn :( I was sad and disappointed because I was looking forward to making an amazing candle with it. I say that this scent should get a newer version made.

Does anyone else feel like this is totally different than a few months ago (AFTER the May 2019 change..I ordered the first time around sept/oct i believe, loved it)? My most recent order was just a few days ago, 1st week january 2020.....Just does NOT smell the same it seems to me and a few other people....

This smells awful! It smells rotten and I HATE when I catch a whiff from my canes that I need to throw out.

We've been using this fragrance oil for over 4 years. It's our #3 seller! But after it was revised, we started to notice the difference in the smell. The last two pounds have been awful. In fact, we've had to pull it from our website because it has a repulsive skunky aroma to it....like badly burned coffee. One bottle with less than an ounce remaining smells normal, but the latest new bottles are really bad. Can it go rancid? Bad batch? We really need to figure out what went wrong, so I appreciate any response.

My husband and I loved this scent! I got it as a free 1oz sample since a lot of "coffee" things I have smelled don't really smell like coffee.. but this was fantastic. Looking forward to ordering more to sell!

This is torture. I mixed this with 464 and I had to leave the room after pouring. It smells SO BAD. I can’t help but gag every time I go back into the room where I make my candles. Not only does it smell terrible, but it’s soooo strong and it sticks to you like glue. I get different people smell things differently and all, but there is no way people like this scent. I would give it a negative star if I could.

Oh if you love a strong black coffee this is for you. I'm in love I can tell you that! I love black coffee. I was sceptical because I have tried other coffee fragrance oils and was not happy at all but with this one its spot on.

This is amazing. Absolutely one of the best smelling fragrances to come from Candlescience. And they have many that I love, so this is a huge compliment. :)

I guess us humans have different smell receptors, which is why we differ in our scent favorites. I love this scent. Perhaps the fine people who rated this low star review might try upping their scent load. Just Saying.

THATS it & thats all.....luuuv it

This is one of my best sellers! You don’t even have to melt it to have it fill up a room with the fresh coffee smell. If you don’t like Fresh Coffee brewing, don’t purchase this and save yourself complaining.

I was really excited to try this and I just can’t stomach this smell. It hits my gag reflex very strongly. What is that smell? It’s like a fleeting top note of burnt coffee and an eye watering strong base of SKUNK.

I got this scent for my free sample and I mixed it with 1 1/2lb 415 soy to 1oz scent. It was way to strong. I got complaints of it smelling like skunk/weed. Don’t think I will get this one again.

I was very excited for this scent and hoping it would turn out with a strong hot throw. It definitely did NOT disappoint. Smells like walking into a coffee shop!

I love this scent and there were no problems with this scent behaving in soap. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is because it smells sweet now that it's curing in the soap. Out of the bottle smells like a nice fresh brewed pot of coffee. Now it smells like you put a bunch of stuff in the coffee. Still smells great but not quiet the same smell.

This one smells great while making it but cannot smell it when burning. I tried mixing it with vanilla chestnut and still nothing. I made it at 8 and 10% using 464 soy wax and still a no go. I read all the reviews and followed some of the suggestions listed and I will keep watching for more feedback to see if I can get this one to work.

I'm new to candle making but wanted to try this fragrance. So glad I did. I did not use the full 1 oz as recommended. I used .6 to 1 lb of wax and it was amazing. That delicious "just brewed" coffee aroma was in my house for days and I never had to light the candle. You could smell the coffee scent just picking up the tin. Good job. I will be purchasing more.

I give this more of a 3.5. It's an okay coffee scent. To me, coffee is a more robust scent. This fragrance is strong yet not robust, is that makes any sense. Made CP soap with it and it lasts after curing but I think it will benefit being blended with another fragrance oil.

This fragrance is definitely strong. I only used a 1 oz sample bottle to make two candles (1 oz/pound, as recommended) and my home smelled like fresh coffee for several days. It was wonderful. The candles gave off a pleasantly strong scent when they were finished. Just be prepared for a strong, lingering scent!

That’s one Porten fragrance the smell will permeate your house with freshly brewed coffee sent love it good job guys

I like this very much I got a small one but this time I will get a bigger size it kills any smell like it a lot

Absolutely beautiful coffee fragrance! Smells very high-quality. Delicious on its own or blended with other scents.

I sell so many candles with this fragrance oil! it's the best coffee fragrance I've come across. It has just the right amount of chocolate and vanilla without smelling sweet or overpowering the coffee scent, in my opinion.
Also just want to say that I love Candle Science and their amazing customer service! It can't be beat.

I used 1 oz. per pound and still had complaints about the strength being too much.

This is my best seller. Its so strong and fragrant that it fills the entire office (a very large building) when I light it at my desk. I sell at least 5 of these a week just to people at work and they go through them like crazy. Everyone loves coffee, so this is a huge hit! I also mix with creme brule or a vanilla hazlenut for a slightly different hint of coffee scents.

from opening the bottle to mixing it with wax to burning the candle, this fragrance oil was amazing all the way!! its so strong its difficult to get the scent out of my poring jug!

This scent is my absolute favorite. I use Soy 464 wax with 10% fragrance and it smells just like a fresh brewed pot of coffee. I sell out of this candle everytime! Some of my customers buy 2 because the cold throw is outstanding and they keep it on their desk at work. You can smell this candle anywhere in the room. Do not go by what it smells like in the bottle...you really have to make the candle! I can't keep this one in stock.

I received very poor feedback on this scent! personally I think its because it smells like skunk spray!! Sorry sad I really wanted a good coffee scent!

To me, this scent is really strong (hot and cold throw). This scent is not for me, but my customers love it. They buy 2 and 3 candles of this scent at a time. So I would say Candle Science hit their mark with the Fresh Coffee.

This coffee fragrance is heavenly mixed with with a nutty fragrance oil, smells like delicious coffee candy. Everyone who smells these candles closes their eyes and smiles and LOVES it. It's one of my very favorites.

Needed a coffee fragrance to try for candles and wax melts, and was ordering other frags from here so thought 'why not?'
Really does smell like fresh brewed coffee. Strong out of the bottle...and super strong when in the product. In fact, that's my only negative - I used it at 1.3oz to a pound of 464 in my first set of candles. lowered it to 1.1 in my second set and settled on 1.0 in my third. Perfect. Amazing hot throw in both candles and melts.

I have always wanted to try the coffee scent but haven’t because it wasn’t phthalate-free until now. I just went to read the previous reviews on the old version and some are 5 stars and some are 1 star. My first experience with this FO and I’m having to give it 1 star. It smelled great out of the bottle but when I poured it, my wax actually started smoking a bit and then it smelled like straight up burnt coffee and skunk. I am writing this review so that maybe Candlescience can explain if there’s a reason this FO smells burnt— could I have burnt it? Is it super sensitive to its flashpoint? I really feel like I may have burned it somehow but I’ve never experienced this with any other fragrance and I love CS fragrances. I’m at a loss :(
