I know this is an older post, but wanted to see if you had a chance to try the ICS Cinnamon Glazed Donut FO @Moonstar?  

 

Also, @soshiegirl were you able to find a good Donut FO?  I'm torn as to get the Cinnamon Sugared Donut From FB or perhaps try the Cinnamon Glazed Donut From ICS.  I love most of both companies FO's.   Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.  😇💕 

@Marleigha if I had to choose between the two (and I have both), I would go with Cinnamon Glazed Donut.  Super strong and delicious.  Cinnamon Sugared Donut really does smell like it's namesake (not overly sweet).  I have yet to find a straight donut scent.

I know I wrote this down somewhere a long time ago.  I'll look for it and if I find it, I'll let you know.  In the meantime, FB has a wonderful vanilla ice cream scent.

I really like Daystar's Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes.  Delicious!

I really like AH's Christmas Bliss and Christmas Fantasy.

Since you already use my fave Juicy Bits of Orange and AH Fresh Squeezed Orange is OOS (another great one), how about NG Fresh Squeezed Orange?

Awesome. Glad that you found one you're happy with

 

Ditto that!  It's nice to hear you found what you were looking for!

How about Chocolate Chip Brownies from Moonworks that can be found at Fragrance Buddy.  I love it and use it.  I know Just Scent, Aztec, the Candle Makers store, Indigo Fragrance, Wellington and Natures Garden all have the Chocolate chip cookies scent so I hope someone who has used one of them will give you their thoughts.  Good luck!  Nothing like the smell of chocolate chip cookies.

I just received Flannel BBW type from Maple Street Candle and I love it.  To be completely honest, I have no idea what the BBW scent smells like (I'll run down to my local BBW to sniff compare) but it is a wonderful scent!

Okay Trappeur, 

Here are all of my faves:

Marshmallow Fluff (The best - soap silly supplies)

Buttercream Frosting

Brown Sugar

Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies

Cabana Boy

Cake Batter

Pound Cake

Innocent Grace

Salty Sailor

Chocolate Marshmallow

Ahoy Matey

Vanilla Bean cookies (dupe of Vanilla bean noel)

Caramel Sticky Buns

Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

Blooming Violets (OOS)

Trying for first time:

Blood Orange Patchouli

Hey Soshiegirl!

 

Ok their Dutch apple pie right off the top of my head had no throw after a couple weeks cure.   Now I absolutely love the scent oob.....so it was sad no throw.

 

Lemon creme which was an all natural fragrance no throw either.

 

Can't remember the other.  Will try and look up.

 

The ones you love what wax are you putting into?   Because I do 464.

 

Trappeur

Trapp - I use a parasoy mix and have had no issue with throw with these scents.  I liked their dutch apple pie oob as well but the throw wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be.  Just know that the lavender chamomile smells more like an essential oil blend and it's divine!  Super expensive though.

I love the Snickers coffee, turkish mocha, tide type, ivory soap and their lavender chamomile.  What did you order that you weren't crazy about?

Hey Trapp,

AH Coffee Shop is really good but have you tried ICS Coffee Bean?  It's super strong and your % would need to be adjusted down but it's another super strong straight coffee scent.

I started thinking this might exist as "spiced orange" or "mandarin spice".  Does that ring any bells for you all?  Are there some FOs of those names anywhere?

@Darbla AH carries KY's version of Mandarin Spice and it's lovely.  Full disclosure, I have never smelled BBW Orange Ginger so I can't say if it will suit your need.  As for Orange Spice, I like and use Cajun Candles Orange Spice; it's wonderful.

There are some good Fall scents.  Let me check my stash and I'll get back to you.  

The best Sandalwood Vanilla I ever used was Adobe Soap Works but they are no longer in business and I'm hoarding the last amount of oil I have.  I have heard that BNL Sandalwood Vanilla is nice but I found it quite light compared to Adobe's version.

I've looked into Inlet Lake Grass---does it smell anything like the fresh cut grass fragrances?  We've already got a best seller from that scent.  I'll check out TallTayl's dupes!  

@ellajoan, it smells nothing like fresh cut grass.  It's more complex, slightly sweet and fresh at the same time.  It and Tonic remind me of upscale spa scents.  Very fresh and clean smelling.

My favorite birthday cake and vanilla is from Just Scent.  The birthday cake is a dupe of the formulation made famous by Soap N Candles and their Southern Style vanilla is a dupe of Ms. Randy's Vanilla Bean.  I know a lot of folks love AH/RE Birthday cake too (formerly KY candle).  Hope I didn't add to your supplier list!  Good luck!

Inlet Lake Grass by TallTayl is just divine

I couldn't agree more about JS Caramel Cinnamon Late & Coffee Ice Cream OH MY WORD..... sooo good!  I just got a sample of the snickers coffee and OOB it smells great!  And Soshie I'm with you on JS....  it only are get fragrance oils awesome the owner Becky is awesome!  So helpful and informative!  My main suppliers are:

 

JS

NG

WSP

FB

CS

ICS

 

I definitely order MOST from JS & NG.  There are a few others that I will throw an occasional small order out with but these are my main suppliers.  What are your favs @soshiegirl 😇  Any fall blends that you can suggest from JS?  I'm also looking for a strong throwing vanilla Sandalwood..... Any suggestions?  

 

 

There are some good Fall scents.  Let me check my stash and I'll get back to you.  

Hey Trapp,

What if you used something like Homespun Sugar from Bittercreek?  What about Daystar's Marshmallow?  That thing is just pure sugary sweetness.

Good luck and let me know what you decided to do.

The baby powder scent from Cajun Candles is just divine!

To @Marleigha and @chevcher, I love coffee scents and burn them for myself all year long.  As for Pumpkin Spice Latte, I tend to use the one from Just Scent more often as some of my best sellers come from them and I tend to order more often from them.  I order this scent from AH/RE when I'm out of JS and need to order something that I can only get from them.  NOT to throw a monkey wrench into the discussion but I heard that ICS Pumpkin Spice Latte is good also but have not tried it.  @chevcher, if you try JS, give their caramel cinnamon latte, coffee ice cream, peppermint mocha, and snickers coffee a try.  They're all wonderful!

This scent flies off the shelves in the Fall.  It's super strong and long lasting.  I use the one from JS and AH/RE.  

The best Cinnamon Apple Berry I ever used was by Elements, which they no longer carry.     I have heard good things about JS Apple Berry Spice which sounds pretty much like the same thing.
