Is there anyone else that sells an Ice Cream Scoop Bread? I thought that one would be a good grab for mixing. Now for the Cotton Candy Frosting I heard it was strong. Do you think I'd better off getting cotton candy super strong? What one of those smells stronger? Then Pink Sugar, may I ask where you typically like Pink Sugar from the best? And then lastly, do you have favorites from ICS OR FB as well? Thanks so much for your help! Truly appreciated! ? IMO Cotton Candy Super Strong is just that, stronger. My favorite Pink sugar is from ICS. Needs a very long cure in 464 but its so - so good. Others I like from ICS : Lemon ice-box cookie - Cranberry Orange Spice - zucchini bread (super strong) and pumpkin zucchini bread - Sugared Vanilla Shortbread - Wildberry Mousse - Strawberry White Cake Her coffees are popular on here but Im not a fan, Its my opinion so don't let that stop you from trying them, you might be like everyone else + love them. I like flavored coffee scents : CS Hazelnut Vanilla WSP also has a good hazelnut Vanilla + a good Cotton Candy + VBN is awesome ! Regarding lavender, I still haven't found one I love although I just use the one from CS. Id like to find one thats a tad sweeter most are very herbaceous to me.

I always hear people talking about cotton candy frosting being a good mixer so was going to grab CC frosting from JS. Now in your opinion do you think JS cotton candy super strong is better or do you think WSP cotton candy is best? I'm thinking maybe WSP Cotton Candy may take that one but I'm just guessing..... But do you know of anyone who has a better CC frosting than JS? What at about an ice cream scoop bread? That's one I really would like to try as well. I am currently using 464 with NG POB although it's okay... I think I will soon be going to a straight soy and paraffin 50/50 mix. There are are a few others I would like your opinions on if you don't mind... Leaves type- JS vs. FC? (Or any other suggestions) Golden Sands- JS vs FC? (Or any other suggestions) Strawberry White Cake- JS vs ICS Sweater Weather- ? What were your personal favs from Peak? I'm so excited that we will soon be able to order them again!!! Sorry for all the questions, I just know you, Trappeur, Belinda, Gail and a few others are some of the sweetest most helpful ladies on this forum so it's a blessing to be able to get advice from you all! 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely adore both oils ! Both are realistic but to me, something about the Cotton Candy Frosting is more so... The Frosting is in the background, giving it a little kick of sweetness & somehow it comes off as fresh, real spun sugar from a carnival. I find the throw on it to be pretty strong, but not quite as strong as Cotton Candy Super Strong, which makes sense because that’s the point of it, lol. if you can afford both, I actually recommend it, they are both worth having ! I reach for both very often. I use the Super Strong when I blend with oils that are stronger, so that you can still smell the cotton candy in those blends, and the frosting for things like white cake, lemons, etc. I have WSP Cotton Candy also, it smells spot on ! I haven’t poured any yet, though, but I can’t think of any WSP oil that didn’t throw well for me, so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 @Marleigha I don't use Leaves or Golden Sands So I can't be of much help, sorry Strawberry White is good from both but Ive ordered more from ICS so if I need that one I order from ICS so Im not paying shipping twice. If your ordering from different places anyhow Id get 1oz samples so you can decide yourself. What Ive found is when comparing FO from say JS or ICS OOB they might smell the same, or very similar but perform differently in wax. I like the Cotton Candy from WSP but you might prefer the one from JS, its really personal preference. My favorite Cotton Candy is from MMS The Sage but its very expensive and the one from WSP is very close to that one. Ive never seen cotton candy frosting anywhere but JS but Ive also never looked aggressively so it might be out there IDK ? Same with ice cream scoop bread not sure who if anyone else carries it ? And Sweater Weather I've never tried or used from anyone - Hope that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have tried so many FO's from many suppliers! So great that you have such a large amount of knowledge with them! Do you keep a log so you know what ones you have or haven't tried also?

It is truly appreciated! Okay so I think I will stick to the cotton candy frosting and then go ahead and grab either the super strong from JS also or perhaps the CC from WSP. I have actually smelled WSP's cotton candy because I live about 30 minutes from WSP. Out of the 2 cotton candy super strong from JS and WSP cotton candy which do you think is strongest? I'm wondering if I will even use the CC frosting as much as the regular cotton candy too. Ugh! Decisions decisions. 😬 Have you you used the cake batter ice cream or ice cream scoop bread from JS? What about their Leaves Type? I'm up in the air as to if I should get leaves type from FC or JS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fortunate enough to live maybe 3 hours away. I live in PA, right across the Ohio border, where East Palestine is, so I always get the packages the very next day when they ship But, Lord, if I lived 30 minutes away I would be there alllll the time 😂 They would get a restraining order, haha. One of my fave supplier for oils ! The Cotton Candy Super Strong definitely has the edge in strength, at least IME, over the Frosting. But, the Cotton Candy Frosting certainly isn’t weak, either ! i haven’t tried the others that you asked about from JS, I’m sorry Random, but...since you seem to love cotton candy as much as me, lol, have you ever blended blood orange with cotton candy ?? It is DIVINE ! i used to get it in Bath & body scents from an etailer years ago & decided to recreate it for melts & candles. I get the Blood Orange essential oil from WSP. If you ever try it, be sure to get the blood orange EO, not the FO. i made the mistake of picking up the FO last time & it is absolutely not the same at all. But it is a delicious cotton candy blend to keep in mind People tend to love it. Edited September 23, 2017 by WaxingPoetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your welcome I think you'll really like the CC from WSP + its very reasonably priced. Another FO /WSP that is so incredibly realistic is Jelly Donut. I don't like most strawberry or jelly type scents IMO they tend to smell very fake + cheap. This one I can't get over how realistic it is. Its more $$ but so worth it. I forgot do you make candles or wax melts ? I saw these interesting wicks this morning, Im curious as to how they work.

I love strong scents, so your opinion on the cotton candy ones..... Do you think you would prefer cotton candy super strong over the WSP cotton candy or no? Maybe I should just try one cotton candy for now. Or would you still suggest I go ahead and get the cotton candy frosting too?

If you only only try one cotton candy right now, I would suggest the Super Strong ! And ohhhhh for JS suggestions, I never got a bad one yet ! My absolute faves so far, aside from the two cotton candy oils, would be : Blue Cotton Candy Creme De Menthe, if you like dessert type mints, do yourself a favor, sister !! I could literally inhale that all day, lol. Cherry Slushie, which you would adore, based on you wanting strong scents ! This will blow you away, & it’s super realistic AND super cheap !

I can’t help you with that one because I never ordered it ( yet, lol ) but I bet someone on here has ! There is someone on here who always has a huge list of JS oils that she’s tried & she is always so very helpful...I wish I could think of who, exactly, but I am nowhere near caffeinated enough to properly think, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickie Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Flaming Candle birthday cake is awesome! The throw is intense! I've used it as one of my testers cause it's such a good thrower. For me it is more of a surgery, buttercream scent with some almond and cherry base notes. Some cake to it, but more of the previous notes, than just cake. It not one that smells too good out of the bottle.....you have to try it in wax to get its full scent profile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
