New items this week include Black Cherry Merlot container candles and Root Beer Float container candles. We also have some new molds we’ve been trying out as well.

The Black Cherry Merlot fragrance by VineVida is “inspired by” a scent of the same name from Bath & Body Works – I did not alter the fragrance in any way. This is such a beautiful, cherry-dominant scent. The inside of the jar is like gold mirror, a very reflective surface to enhance the flicker of the flame. The outside of the jar is a matte, cranberry color, and “Merlot” candle dye cubes, both from Candle Science. The label was created using a combination of AI and Zazzle’s online studio, then printed by Zazzle.

If you like the smell of root beer, you’ll love our new Root Beer Float candles. These were made with Nature’s Oil “Creamy Root Beer Float” fragrance oil, unenhanced in any way. They are dyed a light brown color so it looks like vanilla ice cream melted into to root beer. These were poured in frosted, amber colored glass jars.

New molds this week: a skull with roses on it – I knew my sister would love it, so the first few candles I made from this mold were promised to her. The first skull pour, the Merlot candle dye blocks were used.  Perhaps it was too much dye for a molded candle, as there were some imperfections, including “frosting.” For the second skull mold, “Blue Rose Absolute & Patchouli” was used, with a less amount of sapphire dye, and it came out perfect (see below).  Other new molds include a cat, a few decorative pillars and a cupcake, some shown below.

In development right now: “Queets River” and “Salish Sea” fragrance oil blends. For Queets River, a fragrance oil by Candle Science called “Fog and Fern” serves as a base, to which was added vetiver, labdanum, cedar, cypress & a dash of petrichor to capture that water spray smell as the river flows across the rocks. Still waiting on some Kelp and Sea Salt fragrance oils to add to Candle Science’s “Ocean Breeze” fragrance oils. Labels are in the process of being conceived/designed, jars have not yet been chosen, but dark green and navy blue, respectively, are looking good for these upcoming candles.
