This is the first wax I ever used when I first began candle making. It is a dream. It does have some considerations that should be noted. This fragrance isn’t good for straight citrus or light scents like ozone, bamboo or light florals . It creates a luxurious experience but can mute softer fragrances and volatile top notes. Now when it comes to heavy more viscous fragrance oils, coco apricot is that girl. Gourmand, resinous, vanilla heavy, and woodsy scents do very well in this wax- sometimes likened to para soy. With these heavier fragrances, you will need a moderately hot wick like a CD series. LX also does well for me. You aren’t likely to get a full melt pool by the 2nd hour or even the first burn. But the 2nd burn is much hotter and any walled wax will catch up, so don’t give up too quick if you think you may be underwicked at first. Also, the cure time can be shorter for HT, but I’ve noticed waiting a good 7 days before wick testing makes a significant difference. A struggling wick may turn out to be perfect after 7 days, and a perfect wick may prove to be too large. I heat this wax to 200 and pour in most FOs at 190. I incorporate the FO keeping the temp at 185-190 while stirring. I don’t let the temp drop while stirring and pour at 160-165 depending on the temps in my environment. I don’t put on a lid on them for 36 hours. I’ve never gotten sink holes, jar adhesion is perfect, and tops are always level and smooth. My collection still features this wax but only for certain FO. Candles science has quality FO, a luxurious wax needs a luxurious FO. Happy Candle Making, Folks!

This is the best wax I have tried so far..! I am still in the testing phase of my candle business and I am really enjoying it. This is exciting..!
I decided to start with soy wax (which is not a bad option) but after trying this Coconut Apricot wax, I immediately fell in love with it. No issues with sinkholes, beautiful surfaces and stronger cold / hot throws every time. I am barely starting in the candle business and I am alredy worried thinking about suppliers discontinuing products... I really hope Candlescience does not discontinue this wax nor the 12oz tin containers..! Fingers crossed..!

I love this and smooth soft look it gives but having hard finding the right wick to use.

I love, love this wax! It's the best wax for me candles. It has a beautiful pour - no need for a second pour. It is easy to work with and has a great hot and cold throw. Highly recommend!!

I have tried other wax blends from CandleScience and while others have success, I find that I prefer the Apricot blend the most. It is messy to work with, it is incredibly soft, but the way it burns and the scent throw is unmatched. I have worried about shipping during the summer and warm weather markets because this wax is softer than most, but I have been able to manage that since my little hustle is seasonal, for winter/fall anyway.

I just prefer the burn, the consistency, and the way it sets. I NEVER get bubbles, holes, or separation from the jar with this blend. Worth every bit of money and energy for me!
