barbaranj Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Well if you read facebook posts after he announced the closing, there sure is more to the story! His wife Nachelle Wallace made a few comments to help clarify the situation. Not pretty. I dont want to quote or judge, so please go to the facebook post to see for yourselves.

coffeebean Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is awful, now I have to try to find 2 of my favorites I got from them. Their fresh brewed coffee and amish harvest were the best. Back to testing other companies for at least those 2 anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employees not getting paid. . . Only hope for those using their oils is that someone takes over the fragrance oil part of the business. Or someone like RusticEscentuals makes an offer.

Moonstar Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I went on the peak site and it's website is down saying they are updating the site and will be back up in 1 or 2 hours, that was many hours ago. Hmmm I'm wondering if they really are updating items ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I feel for any of you who have built your business using many of Peak's fragrance oils. As someone suggested on FB, assets are probably frozen as they move through a divorce. There is always a possibility that one of them will be able to start a business selling the fragrances or that part of the business will be sold so we will be able to purchase them again. All depends on how long the divorce takes. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Wow, we did have clues this may be coming but still a shock anyway... I too will miss many of their oils - My all time favorite: Asian Sandalwood amongst others like Botanical Orchard and Nectar, Birthday Cake, Black Canyon, Blackberry and Sage off the top of my head. I used to order wax and wicks from them as well, need to start retesting my zincs from another supplier. Honestly, I am almost embarrassed reading those FB comments and not understanding why their dirty laundry has to be aired out in public. Alan sounds like he is having a mad breakdown....it's terrible for both him and his wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've sad too. I have a few that I've been using for years and would have liked the opportunity to stock up. I love their Pink Sugar, Cranberry Citrus, BRV and Pear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen bean Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I had a few select oils I always used from Peak. I don't know if I'm asking for the impossible, but for those of us needing to find replacements- can we identify which ones, share possibilities, progress in our search/testing, etc.?

jbradshaw Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Oh wow - I didn't realize this was happening. I just cemented a line of scents I was going to market with and 2 of them are Peaks - including my personal favorite to burn.

Jcandleattic Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Another great example of why/how I will NEVER use only 1 scent from any 1 supplier exclusively and have it be irreplaceable - because of this right here - who would have thought that Peak would have closed, and so abruptly? About 50% of all of my FO's are from Peak, however, I never get so attached to a scent or supplier that I can't replace it. Yes, there are several that I absolutely LOVE and that my customers all love too, but with the way I mix my scents and make my inventory, I don't have any "must haves" from a certain place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you saying that once before and it makes sense - for me, I haven't sold anything yet, so I'm not necessarily reliant on it, but I will be sad to lose my favorite scent until I can find something similar. Now I'll be sure if I get attached to something I have a couple suppliers I can get something similar from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm trying to remember all the candle suppliers who have gone out of business since I started making candles in 2009. Heaven Scent - Loved Bert's oils....so very reasonable too! Bluegrass Candle Supply - on the south side of Indianapolis, 1/2 hour away from me. She carried my wax too. Mr Missy's - or something like that; no big loss to me, as I didn't care for the oils I got there. Tennessee Candles - I had only placed one order with them before they closed, but really liked what I got there. Another closing that I hated - Fragrance oil finder. I used that site so much. And now the last supplier I would have expected to close. I use so many suppliers that honestly, Peak closing won't affect me that much. I'm sorry for those it does.

Belinda Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Aren't there ways of getting some of Peak's oils duped? Doesn't FB or Maple Street dupe certain oils? The only two from Peak that I used on a regular basis were lemon pound cake and birthday cake but I now a lot of people used their oils regularly and this is devestating to them and all the testing they've done. I would think most could be duplicated though. It's just a sad situation all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Gosh, I hate this. It's only a bit of a bummer that we'll miss the FOs; we'll recover. The tragedy here is their family. I'm so sick to death of bad, sad news. GailC, add to that list The Scent Works, Green Leaf, Moonworks, and I think there was a Missy's before there was a Mr. Missy's.

GoldieMN Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 This was posted on Peak's FB page by the owner of Maplestreet Candle Co.: "Charlie Libengood Www.maplestreetcandle.com has many of the same scents that peak does." Maybe Maplestreet will dupe Peak's fragrances. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Alan Wallace, Peak's owner, posted this on his page: Offers to purchase Peak Candle Supplies can be directed to doc.wallace@icloud.com. I will screen for not only the offer price and funds availability, but more importantly I will screen for MY perception of who a responsible party would be; one that would be best suited to preserve the relationships we've established with our customers. Time is of the essence. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bescented, fragrance buddy and nurture soap have similar services. None I have found are really spot on, but acceptable for many people looking for 'close enough' at a low price. I found peak's fragrances to be more rich and complex than any of the services offering to quickly dupe to grab market share during the panic. I'd hang onto my money to see who is going to buy the codes. They are up for sale, so someone will inevitably buy them. I would rather do without than accept a pale imitation of the original that I have to retest in all of my products. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
