Where have you been all my life? I'm happy that KZfaq suggested your channel to me. We truly are kindred spirits. I also love earthy / woody scents and birch has always held a special place in my heart. I started a Beeswax candle line 3 years ago, wich I called Blessed Bee Candle Co. and it did well but had to change the company name because someone other folks beat me to the copyright office. Anywho, I decided to try a soy candle line and it's been one disaster after another and hundreds of dollars wasted along the way. I've watched plenty of tutorials and I also learned alot from Wade but your videos are truly the best! I trust your nose and your waxy skills. My candles have improved and for that I am grateful. I was getting ready to give up on my soy wax candle line till you came along. So I thank you for sharing your gifts with us and will continue to binge watch your channel. God Bless & Much Success🌲✌️🧙‍♂️👍🌲

Allen , you’ve killed me with laughter in this video 😂😂😂😂, I’m just laying down in my couch at this time of the night (10pm) with my notebook and pen and truly laughing to death with your humor. I bumped on your channel like a week ago and I’m in love! Thank you so much for sharing these valuable and expensive informations! I pray to God to really permit your dreams to come to pass and to position you to a higher level in your career! Remain blessed!!!! And thank you for the laughter 😂

I'm sweating too, just listening to you react to Iced vanilla woods. Now I have to order from Midwest - even though I finished making my winter candles - but I'll wait for part 3 of your haul. Hope you never run out of fragrances to bring to us ... there's just no one else like you!

Your descriptions of the scents are so well spoken and you really know how to break down the specific scent profiles which is super helpful and sets you apart from other FO reviewers, especially when people are in search of luxe scents. Your candid opinion of the FO's is appreciated! I'm looking forward to part 3 so I can place an order with Midwest!

Hi Allan. I’ve been using Honey Spiced Pear in candles for a while and they are a huge hit. This is an EXCELLENT thrower. I originally purchased 2oz and as soon as I got it I immediately ordered a large size. Lol.

Crackling Birch is still on Nature's Garden site. Just put in order tonight that included that oil. It's a staple for my customers plus I blend a lot with it also.

I absolutely adore French Bourbon Reserve! Thank you sooo much for this recommendation. I love the Ice Vanilla Woods too! 😍 but for me I had to rank French Bourbon higher! Jeez that is so good! The crackin birch I’m going to put in a wax melt to see how it smells but not sure if it’s me but I am getting cinnamon notes 🤷🏾‍♀️ It smells good though. Definitely will give it a try. My favorite of all your recommendations is in your third video 😍 Co workers are already asking me for melts, soap and oil made from it!

French bourbon reserve is a great blender, too. Adds a nice slightly floral but warm bouquet

I really like the honey spiced pear, too! Cracklin birch is one of my faves and I’m not sure if I like this one better or the one from flaming candle - I actually emailed natures garden recently about Cracklin birch and they said it was a supplier issue - hopefully they get it back but the MW one has been a great sub.

@englishgarden2036 Жыл бұрын

Now that Wholesales Supply Plus has bought Nature's Garden, they might not bring it back. Let's hope they do. I hate when larger companies buy smaller ones because they try to cut cost when means they will use crappy ingredients.

OMG!! You NEED to try Bitter Creek's Birch Bark!!! It is an INCREDIBLE scent and SO strong OOB and in wax! It's the best birch scent I have ever found and used. PS about Bitter Creek, their shipping estimate is super high on their website but when you pay with PayPal, they send you the cheapest shipping on the invoice and also have free shipping on oils over $100. I try to let people know that because when they see their shipping estimate, it deters them from purchasing. But anyways, you would love it!

@kambrahhimelrick8079 Жыл бұрын

Also Bitter Creek's Fresh Baked Bread (BCS Original) oil is superb. It literally smells like real baked bread oob and in wax! It's one of my best sellers. I get my Iced Vanilla Woods from Nature's Fragrance and it is to die for. You should do a review of that one also and compare!! They have great oils too.

Hi Allen!!! I love your channel ❤️ Have you tried Vanilla Bean from Natures Garden yet? I feel that has been the closest to vanilla bean Noel and has a great throw.

Actually…since there were so many raves about IVW I made a candle and burned it. I love it! Even though it kinda smells like AXE cologne. I had a little focus group over and they unanimously loved it too.
