GoldieMN Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've tried a number of cinnamon oils from a few companies but can't seem to find something that knocks my socks off. Do you have a favorite or best seller? I'm at a point of mixing what I have to come up with something I like but prefer not to do this. I'm making pint jars of soy; mixture of two soys.GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've tried a lot of cinnamons over the years and don't like the red hot cinnamons or cinnamon stick. I keep going back to Sweetcakes (just plain) cinnamon, so I've stopped trying others. I can use .5 oz./lb and get super strong throw without problems with wicking.

Candybee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I love red hot cinnamon better than cinnamon stick. But thats just me. I use CS Red Hot Cinnamon and Cinnamon Stick and blend them 50/50%. It sells great for me. I'm gonna have to try Sweetcakes version one of these days.

chuck_35550 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I haven't tried Cinnamon Broom from Fragrance Buddy but some posters are saying it smells just like those pine cones or brooms they sell in the fall. That would be a great fragrance but otherwise I can't give straight cinnamon away in my neck of the woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I make a blend of cinnamon and macintosh apple that sells well if that helps. That cinnamon broom sounds good. But that sounds to me like just another version of cinnamon stick or close to the EO scent-- woody. Like you, it wouldn't sell well in my area. Its got to be sweet and/or fruity or bakery blend. I mostly sell cinnamon blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 @Candybee-I'll be starting to make a cinnamon/mac apple blend soon. What ratio do you like? I'll be using CS cinnamon stick and CS mac apple in parasoy. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Depends on what you notes you want to stand out. CS Macintosh Apple is very strong so if you want a blend thats evenly matched cinnamon to apple use 2 parts cinnamon to 1 part apple. If you want a fresher, fruitier apple with a touch of cinnamon blend it 50/50. Using parasoy let it cure a good 2-3 weeks for the cinnamon notes to come through. I always had to wait for cinnamon to cure in my parasoy candles. Another great mix is cinnamon and sandalwood. I use CS Cinnamon Stix and Peaks Asian Sandalwood at 50/50. In parasoy you use at 6-8% and let it cure 2-3 weeks so all the notes come out. You may have to wait longer but its worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I mix cinnamon with vanilla. I have found that even cinnamon scents that I am not particularly fond of smell so much better with vanilla in it.

marcuset Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 KY Cinna-Vanilla from Aroma Haven always sells well with my private clients. Cinnamon Broom from Fragrance Buddy...good grief...too many to start listing. The words of an addict I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I like cinnamon and vanilla too. That combo always reminds me of my friends home she decorates in the prim country look. So cinnamon vanilla always reminds me of prim country style. If it had a scent-- that would be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks. Looks like I need a few more samples. I just got some McIntosh from AH and have a few different cinnamons and vanillas so will do a little testing this weekend. Waiting for two weeks will be tough!

RWV Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Cinnamon stick from Steve at the Candlemaker's store is the best straight cinnamon I've tried and is an excellent mixer. I have one customer that will buy this scent by the case. I've also used the one fromTennessee Candle Supplies with success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Cranberry Cinnamon from the Candlemaker's Store is soooo good. I also do a Mulberry Cinnamon that is a custom blend. I love anything cinnamon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I like spiced Mulberry too. Couldn't move Cinna-Vanilla and don't really know what the problem was other than people were looking for something else. Surveying all the sellers in the market will give you an idea of how much overkill there is in spicy vanilla fragrances. They all start to smell the same in the long run. I could go for Cinnamon Broom if it really smells like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
