I love this scent...but have problems with the throw.  I currently tried 1 1/2 ounces per pound.  I am going to order more and try 1 ounce per pound.  Does anyone else think this is a light scent?  You can smell it when you first walk in a room then it disappears.  It happened to me and two of my testers.  Suggestions?
 
Modified to say it is Peaks fragrance...

I have the same problem with Clean Cotton, seems to depend on the person..
 
There are some that can not smell it at all and others that could.  I have tried using tarts at home and never once could smell it.  I use 1343 and 4786 though..

I agree with HopelessFOaddict:
Did not like the comfort blend for anything!
Clean Cotton has a wonderful throw for me using 4625 & strait pariffin with micro-crystalline & vybar for additive for containers.

As usual, I am the oddball out-------> I pour Clean Cotton in both the Comfort Blend and the J223.  Throws are comparable; that being good throws.  
 
I've been pouring identical testers in both waxes these days.  The Comfort Blend wax always lasts longer and has a much better throw with nearly all FOs.
