    Hi all so since my last post about Peak was tremendous I figured I would start another. I just got my first order of scents to start testing for replacements. I have ordered from Indiana Candle, Elements, Wellington, Rustic Essentials, Bittercreek and The Chemistry Store. My order of Indiana came today: Almond Pastries, Holiday Cookie, Christmas Past, Christmas Wreath. Christmas Kitchen, Harvest, Glazed Cinnamon Donuts, Fireside and Sugar Cookie Dough. I was really hoping the Almond Pastry was gonna be close as it is the only place with it listed as the same name and it was not close at all. Of course I have not put any of these in wax but OOB they are not even close to what I needed from Peak, Almond Pastry, Cookies for Santa, Grandmas Egg Nog, Holiday Sparkle and Winter Wonderland.

     

    Maybe people can continue here with their replacement testing orders and thoughts.

    Just Scents has an Aspen Winter that is very similar to Peaks Winter Wonderland.  I got a bottle of Toasted Almond Crunch from Candle Cocoon's Scent Event a few years ago, and it is still strong! It would be a good replacement for Almond Pastries if we could find it.  

     

           
             
             
             
             
             
     

     

  2. Fillmore's Christmas Tree is nearly identical to Peaks Spruce Xmas Tree, Their Cinnamon Stick is comparable to Peaks Cinnamon.  Peaks quality was beyond compare, the majority of my fragrances came from there. I built a business around it, I don't know how to replace them or how it will affect my business. Hopefully someone will buy them and keep it going.

  3. I personally thought the Pumpkin Crunch Cake from NG was weak.  It was recommended here so much that I ordered an 8 oz bottle, but I was disappointed.  it smells good but just not strong enough for tarts which is all I make.  The Pilgrims Pie sounds interesting.

  4. Orange Chili Pepper (wow) , MacIntosh Apple (best apple ever) , Pumpkin Souffle, Mistletoe, Violet Lime is awesome although it doesn't sell well for me, Cranberry Marmalade ( I also blend this one with Orange & Chili Pepper) , Pine Cones (I mix with Mac Apple for Apples & Pine Cones).  Peach Nectar is yummy, Very Vanilla.

  5. I just blended 50% red clove (Peaks) 25% Mac Apple (CS) and 25% Cedar (Peaks).  I didn't measure exactly, I just poured approx. amts. into the wax pot with a little palm wax to test the scent.  I think I like it.  It's different.
