Good Fireplace/Smoke Scent


Ray

Recommended Posts

Ordered campfire smoke for the second time from bittercreek and I think something is wrong with the oil. The first bottle the oil was lighter in color. The second bottle was much darker and had a lot of sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Anyway, never got a strong scent throw from either bottle. Is there another similar oil from a different company that anyone has tried? Looking for a true smoky fire scent minus any fruity or flowery notes.

I ordered up fireplace from just scent. we'll see how that works. Sure can get expensive ordering these oils. I'm trying to stick to just a couple suppliers so when it's time to reorder I don't get hammered on shipping. I really don't want to carry 100 different scents from a dozen different suppliers! Buying oils can be an addiction that I don't want to take on! Thank you for the responses. MUCH appreciated!

Thanks for the update Amanda. Might just have to try that one. Tried Fireplace from Just Scent and...wow, smells like cologne. Strong and nasty.

 

I don't color the wax, but would probably go with grey for this scent if I did

I had better luck with Bittercreek's Campfire Smoke than The Candlesource's. I tested it in J50 and it was really good. Maybe you got a bad oil? I mix Bittercreek's Campfire Smoke in equal amounts with Peak's Autumn Walk and It is awesome.

Have you ever tried Crackling Firewood from Wholesale Supplies Plus?  This to me is the best most truest smokey firewood fragrance I have every tried. It truly smells like a fireplace burning without a doubt.  It says in the description there is a touch of raspberry.  Well, I don't detect that at all.  But it is a bugger to wick and takes a larger wick.

Nope, haven't tried crackling firewood from WSP. Thanks for the recommendation. Yesterday I ordered crackling fireplace from NG that Amanda talked about. I'll see if that's what i'm looking for. If not, I'll probably try crackling firewood. hahaha...by the time I find the one I like it will be summer!

So I received the firewood oil from LS and it smells like something else in it along with the smoky smell I was looking for. I will be testing it today. What I'm looking for is one that smells just like a fire burning without all the added other notes. 

 

I'm telling ya, Campfire from The Candle Source! :D

Tested the firewood from LS and had hardly any throw at all. I even moved the candles to my small bathroom and still didn't fill that small area.

 

Cracklin Birch from NG throws like crazy in soy, people love it, but I'm looking for straight wood burning smell, so now I'm trying Campfire from candle source.
