Darbla - Balsam and Citrus is downright amazing. Patchouli Honey is wonderful as well. They've discontinued some of my faves but here are some that are still around: Apple Cobbler Apple Martini Aqua Blueberry Lemon Verbena - super strong Jasmine Petals Downpour Japanese Pear and Ginseng Lime Crystal Kisses Rocky Mountain Christmas (FOH) Sea Island Grapefruit Tuscan Lace Buttercream Burnin Love Cinnamon Green Irish Tweed Ginger Lime Coco Beach Baby Flowerbomb

Agreed. If it's a dupe that you can access (BBW, Yankee, perfume, etc) I would run up to the store and do the sniff test. If it's a perfume dupe, make sure to spritz a piece of paper and take it with you. If it comes in wax form than buy one and compare it at home with the oil.

ICS is Indiana Candle Supply. NG's Cranberry Cobbler is just wonderful. I keep a bottle here just for myself.

I like NG Buttermilk pancakes and I like to add some buttered maple syrup to it.

I love cranberry scents! Some of my favorite cranberries are ICS Spiced Cranberry and NG Cranberry Cobbler, NG Cranberry Balsam and Peak Cranberry Apple Marmalade.

Sorry to hear about this. Maybe she's running behind because of her recent sale. Try shooting her an email because I tried texting and she got back to me quicker when I emailed.

I like Elements Peppermint Sticks. As for other mix ins how about peppermint bark? coffee? some fruit like cherry or orange? cake type scents?

@LivInTX, Just Scent has a fragrance that sounds identical to AH's version also called Sweet Tooth. I have it and love it but since I haven't tried RE's version, I can't compare the two.

Trapp, say it isn't so!

Ireland has some beautiful beaches so perhaps a sea/ocean type scent you can name after one their amazing beaches. It's also amazingly green so perhaps some type of outdoorsy scent like a grass, wild grass or moss scent. I would also consider green clover and aloe and don't forget about bluebells! You might also consider fruit type scents as their raspberry and blackberry brambles are quite something in the Summer as well as gooseberries and loganberries. I happen to love the scent of Irish Spring soap but that may be too literal for what you're looking for.

Hey @kfintoni, you could send off a sample and have it duped.

Don't forget about Candle Cocoon's Daphy Nut Bread, that's a good one too.

I agree with Candybee. It's wonderful. Perhaps you could add a little cucumber to it.

Oh no!!! I just sent her an email asking about it. I'll let you know the moment I hear back from her. You and I may both be on the hunt for a good banana nut bread if the news isn't good.

I really like JS Banana Nut Bread. Have been using this one for years.

Hey Trapp, I talked to Stacy and she said that even though Ultimate Vanilla shows OOS, it is available...the site hasn't been updated.

I found my notes and they are super duper similar/identical but Ultimate vanilla is OOS, so off to order from CC!

Are these two interchangeable? For some reason, I thought they were almost identical but it's been so long I can't remember. I'm running low on Vanilla Voodoo and with Stacy having a sale I was wondering if I could sub.

@Darbla - I love rose scents. I only deal in wax but will put these scents in a perfume base or room spray for personal use. Some of my favorites are AH rustic rose, CW sandalwood rose, AH rose and geranium, FB rose jam, CS Rose and AH rose and violets.

Hey @Trappeur, I just placed an order with Stacy on the 10th and it shipped today so all is good! Can't wait to try these new oils.

I get where you're coming from. One thing to consider is that polypro is recyclable! Also another consideration is if you decide to package your products unwrapped, how do you plan on making sure your clients know which scent is which (i.e., if they ordered two or three sea type scents). Just something to think about. Perhaps run a "stress" test of combining several different scented melts/tarts for a while and see what the outcome is. Good luck!

Hey @Laura C - I can't speak to packaging products in wax paper or glassine bags. I only package my products in polypropylene bags. When you refer to packaging different scents together in the same bag, do you mean individually packaged or unwrapped? I package all products individually or multiples of the same scent in a single polypro lined bag. However, I will store similar scents together in a storage container and do ship different scented products together (in one order), in a single polypro bag, but they are individually wrapped and labeled. To date, I've never had any scent morphing via absorption when done this way. Hope this helps.

You might want to check out AH Sea Kelp, super salty! It does have other notes but it is heavy on the salty ozone notes.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it greatly.
