I have found the fragrance Black Current Absinthe to not be dependable
I have ordered the same fragrance many times and decided to order the larger 5 lb size. After I made a few batches I burned one of the candles and it has almost no throw and does not smell like the Black Current Absinthe I had been using for years. Now I have 24 candles that are really no good. This was supposedly the same formulation I had been buying but it was not.

They are shorting you on oil!!
I have been using candle science for a couple years now, and most of the time I just purchase their 16oz bottles, so I've never dumped the whole bottle out and weight the oil.
Just recently started buying their 1oz and 4oz bottles of scent. I have been doing so, to make small batches of my candles, to see what my customers opinions are, how quickly they sell or do not sell, ECT.
In doing so, I have come to the realization that their 1oz and 4oz bottles of oil... actually include the weight of the bottle that they come in, and I'm sure the larger bottles are the same.
Which means that you are NOT actually getting 1oz, 4oz, or 16oz of oil, ECT. You are paying for the weight of the oil...AND THE WEIGHT OF THE BOTTLE THAT IT COMES IN!! Which is total BS!!
The 4oz bottles of oil, only have around 3.80 FL oz in them!! I have weighed 4 different 4oz bottles of oil, and they are all weighing in between 3.80 oz and 3.85 oz.
When I sell my candles, I don't include the weight of the jar that they come in, the wick, the label, or the dust cover... The weight on my label...IS THE WEIGHT OF THE WAX AND OIL!! Not the weight of the packaging and everything else!!
This is completely unacceptable!!!
