Not Good

I read in the reviews "To me, it smells like nag with a couple drops of dove soap." and I couldn't agree more. And I'm okay with that, however, when I burn it (Soy Candle) it give a really weird aroma. There's actually hints of vomit. It's weird. I'm doing about 9% in my formula, so that's in the sweet spot. I ordered a different Nag Champa oil from a different company. I can't sell this one.

LOVE IT!

Smells just like the incense. Strong and powerful scent -- great throw in GB464.

One of my faves!

i am a beginner at making candles and I have tested this sent with different wicks and different jars. I have found that you can burn it 2 days after it has been made and it has a strong scent. Usually you have to wait a week but not with this fragrance. I don’t use dyes because it changes how everyone of my candles burn. For example this particular fragrance burns great and even with a cd8 in a 4 oz jelly jar with no dye. But when I introduce dye the candle will still burn great and smell great but when it cools it looks as if the top layer is caving in different spots. I’m still unsure how to fix this but I would love to eventually add dyes to my candles!

I'm so sorry I bought this in a sample size because this scent is amazing! It smells exactly like the incense! It is a light scent as other reviews mentioned but it's just right. Nag Champa can be a strong overpowering scent for some. This is the perfect happy medium! I will be ordering a much larger size very very soon. Also, shipping was incredibly fast!

Great stuff!

This is for those that love incense but hate that harshness that incense sticks sometimes give. This is a great scent that incense lovers will truly enjoy.
Strong throw in soy!

Nag Champa

Smells very good out if the bottle, just like the incense. However, the throw is very mild. Still a nice mellow scent.

A CUSTOMER FAVORITE!

I blend this fragrance with another fragrance (that's top secret!)...and it is my best seller!! I love that the wax pool changes color to blue - I call my candle moonlight's magic (and it truly is magical!).
If your wax pool is green, it's likely you are using too big of a wick. This fragrance takes a little longer to melt evenly, but it does catch up...just gotta keep those wicks trimmed!!

authentic

a very true, authentic nag champa. If you like the popular nag champa incense (satya sai baba type) then give this a try, super strong in parasoy.

True to the name of the FO

Hi. This FO is true to its name. I noticed that some people are having a coloration issue after burning. One suggestion: I always test my finished fragrance in wax with NO dye and see how the FO will naturally discolor, most FO turn yellow or green. Once I determine the color of the wax post burn cycle, I craft my candles based on the natural discoloration. For example, I use 7 drops hunter green and 7 drops of black. This creates an earthy dark green color. I also wick up several sizes to accommodate the higher dye load. In my 3-wick tumblers, I wick up to a CD10 and I am good to go! I am using IGI 6006 wax at 9.3% fragrance load. Hope that helps. Good luck!
