Trappeur Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) My most favorite fragrance that I am trying to replace Tennessee Candles with is Pumpkin Pecan Waffle. Tomorrow I will be pouring each of the following PPW's from different companies, let them cure for 2 weeks in 464 wax and will post my honest opinions on each of them in 2 weeks. I will be testing in 16oz canning jars with a cd10 wick The companies I'm testing are: 1. Wholesale Supplies Plus 2. Candle Source 3. Cierra 4. Flaming 5. Maple Street 6. Fragrance Buddy Trappeur Edited August 8, 2017 by Trappeur 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looking forward to your results. I know I liked Cierra Candles's PPW. I bought some from them before Tennessee and thought they smelled the same as far as I can recall. I know I loved PPW from both places. I still have some from Tennessee but will be needing more before long. Haven't ordered from Cierra in awhile because I have several new suppliers now.

kandlekrazy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 How heavy is the Pumpkin in PPW? I've had a few requests for it but never bought because 1 pumpkin scent has been enough gagging for me, but if it's more waffle and pecan I might be able to handle it.

Well, it's going to be a toughy this one I can foresee as sniffing from the bottle each and every one smells exactly the same. I'm wanting this fragrance of course to be a strong one as Tennessee's was. With Tennessee's when I had lit, I could actually smell the fragrance walking up the walkway to my house coming out the windows as I leave my windows open. And also when extinguished the fragrance just lingers so nicely. That's what I look for in a candle...so we shall see. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the pumpkin does not overpower any of the other components in the oil. You can smell the brown sugar, butter. pecans and maple syrup all blended evenly. It's hard to describe...the pumpkin is hardly noticeable. It's just a very rich decadent scent. You just have get a sample. I highly recommend you just try it. So in answer to your question is the pumpkin heavy? No, not all Hope this helps. Trappeur Edited August 8, 2017 by Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I know everyone loves this scent but I guess I'm the odd man out here. All I can smell from any of them is butter and maybe a little tiny bit of pumpkin. If I could get the brown sugar and maple notes I would be happy with it. I think I may have to add some brown sugar to the PPW FO's that I have and I would like it better. I have some of Tennessee's too I think and like you said Trapp, they all smell the same OOB. Maybe my nose just isn't sensitive enough to pick all the other notes up. I may have to give this one another try! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I tested that from Wholesale Supplies, Fragrance Buddy and Maple Street. None of them were as good as TCS, but FB was the closest so I went with that one in my C3. Please let us know your test results, I'm super curious too :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulberrysoap Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Whatever happened to tennessee in the end? Did she sell her company to another supplier? Could you give or ask it to tt for possible duping if she has time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Kimberly sold to a private company that is using the oils for their own business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, could give some oil to TT to duplicate, no problem.....I have quite a big stash I kept for myself...It would be awesome if that oil did get duplicated! I'd order 10 pounds of it... Tall Tayle just let me know if you need some oil and want to send it off..... Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Let's exhaust all of the currently available options first. It takes a long time to get these duplicated. My lab is super slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeebean Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just ordered a bunch of samples from The Candle Source and PPW was one of them, so I will be pouring a couple testers and compare it to FB. So far I tested FB, and MS with FB throwing better for me. As for the Spicy Apples & Peaches I found RE to be the closest to TCS yet, but still searching for that one also.

coffeebean Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So I tested The Candle Source PPW and it was terribly week in my wax. As of now FB has been the top thrower for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
