babyrn Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Has anyone used Pumpkin Souffle from Rustic Escentuals and CandleScience? If so, are they similiar? Differences? Which do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have been using CS Pumpkin Souffle for 8 years and it is a best seller and 'knock your socks off' strong. I used to really like it, but maybe I'm just tired of it or Pumpkin scents in general I have a sample of RE's Pumpkin Souffle but have never put it in wax. OOB it does have a little similarity to CS's, but is not nearly as strong. Candlescience's PS smells richer and much, much stronger to me, comparing them both OOB. Of course RE's could be strong and rich in wax too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marleigha Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I agree with Gail 100% I have CS Pumpkin Soufflé (16 oz) and a small 1 oz of RE Pumpkin Soufflé and CS is by far stronger! I have not put the RE in wax yet but the CS one is so rich and amazing! HTH! 😇 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I have both and prefer CS as well. I do use RE's as a blender for other pumpkin scents though. It's not bad, just not my favorite. I wish I was at home to be able to sniff both and describe the differences I detect. I'd say the CS is stronger and more decadent smelling, if that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had good luck with previous 464 orders even after 2016 wax problems and this oil by wicking down. Wondering if you have noticed a difference in hot throw lately.

GoldieMN I haven't made any since last fall. I can't imagine it not being strong. We shall see in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightMyCandleCo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Help please! I just made a tester candle with CS pumpkin soufflé. It smelled great out of the bottle. I used GB464 wax, heated wax to 185, added FO at about 180 degrees, poured at about 150. I used 11% FO because I wanted it to be strong. It has been curing for about 12 hours and there is very little cold throw. I am worried that the hot throw will be weak too. Please help! I am a perfectionist. Fall is coming and a good strong pumpkin is a MUST. Can't do fall without it and I can't do it wrong. How do you guys get a good hot throw for this scent. I've heard that some scents - like vanillas- have to be added right at 185 degrees, while others with lower flashpoints should be added at cooler temps. Is this one of those situations?? ...also...I made a cranberry marmalade - using the same process- and I am OBSESSED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightMyCandleCo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Update: I let the candle cure for a bit longer before lighting it. The hot throw is AMAZING. I made a small sample size - about 6 oz and it fills my entire open floor plan home. Question: how much do you guys usually order? I am afraid the popular fall/holiday scents will be sold out so I want to stock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never gone over 1.2 oz of oil per pound wax. I add oil bout 180 to 185 and that is ALL oils. How long do you cure 464? You just poured just 12 hours ago? You can't even begin to judge on that time period. 464 needs 2 week cure time. Flash points have nothing to do with adding your oils to the wax.

I guess it's a personal preference. But yes, I need to be more patient with my cure times. Luckily everything worked out and I got the throws I was looking for :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It may list it as it can hold that amount of oil but does not mean that it is going to perform well. I don't know hardly anyone using that wax that uses that much oil. It's a waste of money and oil in my opinion when you can get a beautiful throw using much less oil and the chance that your wick isn't going to get clogged also. How long do you let your candles cure? Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Somebody on here used to talk up a blend of CS Pumpkin Souffle with something else that took the burnt edge off Pumpkin Souffle. If I can remember it I'll add it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
