TN had a lot of good ones.  *sigh*  

Yes I agree ,wished we could all find replacements for the exact oils kwim. Talk about a Blessing ,that would be awesome .😀

Maybe you can attempt to blend your own idk just a thought .

Take your best apple, cinnamon,cloves & balsam mix together ,soak a week & see what happens . Lol I enjoy scent blending & you may be surprised what you come up with . I miss Tenessse oils ,I wish I had a barrel full of their Salty Caramel lol ,along with many more .

No candle making today for me because i can hardly walk. (Back issues) 

So I decided to use my warmer. 

3 parts Costal Kale and 1 part baby powder. 

Already obsessed with Costal Kale. 

Geesh knock me down adding a bit of bp. Will definitely keep this mix now I just need a name. 

 

I am definitely going to order a lb of Coastal Kale ,hearing many compliments on this one . Do you think of this scent as a tropical or more of a fresh scent ? I had placed a small order of samples ,back when CW launched these new scents & forgot to get the Coastal kale darn it . For the life of me ,I don't know how I over looked this one .I have heard some great reviews on Coastal kale ,I cannot imagine how this one would actually smell ,has me curious .

Thank you for any help you can give me in describing this unique scent .I love CW oils 😀

This was not a custom blend my mom ordered it years ago and it smelled so good. I only have a small sample of the scent in wax and have been searching for it online but can't find it. She doesn't remember where she ordered it from. To me it smells like loves baby soft with coconut and papaya maybe?? Has anyone heard of this fo ?

Scented ,Could this scent possibly be the Febreze Hawaiian breeze scent ? I know it's a blend of Awsome fruity florals . It is slightly different than glad dupe . I am probably way off from the one your iso though ,just was thinking more about the name ,instead if the notes . Island Baby name takes my thoughts straight to the Febreze Hawaiian breeze scent kwim.

Hope you find it soon 😀

I ordered a sample of this scent .

I really love this one  . I named mine Cowboys & Campfires lol, keep in mind I live in Texas .

This scent does remind me of a rugged cowboy with his slight splash of cologne standing in the deep woods building his campfire . I love the name you picked out ,just throwing my two cents worth ,as I love this scent . I plan to order a big ole bottle of this one lol.

I Love CW oils😀

B&BW has two FOs that I love to burn all year long—Fresh balsam and Holiday.  Holiday is available some years and then some years it isn’t.  There’s nothing crazy complex about these scents, I just love them.  Does anyone know of some good strong dupes of these 2 FOs so I can make my own?  

Not BBW dupes ,however best Balsam oil I have used is from Fillmore Christmas tree & Flamings Balsam. Both are true balsam scents .I am not familiar with bbw Holiday ,sounds interesting . I will see if I can find a dupe in this scent ,cannot recall any I know of atm. I will search some suppliers & see what I come up with .😀

@Guest OldGlory, I wanted to send you a PM but for some reason I am unable to click on your name?  Is there a certain way to get ahold of you?  Thanks so much!  😇

She loved & used Aztec oils .Sad she passed away ,miss her here so much .😇

It does not say it's a BBW dupe ,however it is a strong true balsam scent . Another great balsam is Fillmore's Christmas tree ,great strong balsam tree scent. I use Flamings & get great results . I don't think you would be disappointed in Flamings balsam ,very true to the real tree .I know if the scents with Flaming are BBW dupes ,they do state this as dupes in the descriptions . It's a good one though . Hope this helps .😀

I go searching around fb and I found 1 post that is recent for 2 bottles of fo from ng. They want 30 bucks for  6 oz and 1 oz 😂😂😂

Lol at least you found a listing for oils . I never find oils local . I just stay with the suppliers kwim. Be ready for lots of Great Black Friday sales arriving soon. Many will have some bargains .

Lol, I love to come here and talk about FO, you guys are the only ones that really listen! 😆😆❤️

 

Yes, BC did raise a bunch of prices, I didn't realize the Stonehenge was so expensive! Some times with a fragrance like that, I'll get a smaller bottle just for me and make that  baby laaaast.... Lol

 

I couldn't remember if ICS was one of your regulars or not.  Her oils are Sooo good! I want to try the Pudding Cake too, that one sounds yummy! I love her Caramel, I blend that with everything! I have a bottle of her Cinnamon Glazed Donuts sitting on my counter waiting to go in wax. Smells amazing OOB. @katmeltswax, you can't go wrong with any of the bakery scents from ICS, IMO. 😍

I love ICS  Caramel kettle corn ,it's so strong . I use this one since I can no longer get Tenessse Salty caramel corn ,great replacement .

I look forward to trying many more from ICS in the near future . I to appreciate your suggested oils along the way . I am still looking into comparison of CW mahogany spice verses Aztec Autumn Leaves ,I will compare the scent notes & see what I come up with .Thank you so much Sarah .Feel free to throw me more ICS suggestions .

I will be ordering samples to test soon . Thanks so much ! 

If you like caramel apple scents ,Flaming has the absolute best ever. I use many from this supplier & get great results . Here are some I use & love with super throw. I use a paraffin blend wax.

Alpine Cheer

Balsam fir

Blue Spruce

Sea salt Orchid 

Beautiful Day

Baja cactus Blossom

Macintosh Apple

Summer scoop

Bombshell

Amish Harvest

Lemongrass

Redwood cedar

Southern Sweet tea

Autumn Flannel

Sweet Strawberry

I know each of these are super strong & I use many from Flaming ,great supplier .I will add I like Fragrance Buddy's Pumpkin pecan waffle over Flamings . I know I have many more to still test soon.

I have been using Flaming oils for many years now .Hope this helps .

Thank you, but you have enough on your plate right now,but I do appreciate the offer. 

I have purchased from i c s over the years and recently but I haven't made a purchase in about 2 months from there.

I have carts pending with bc, ng,cs,ics, and another pending with CW. 

I am definitely getting the bbcc. Will add in the shortcake. Because u said so lol. 

 

I am really stuck on ordering crunch berries. I think because I loved that feral as a kid lol 

Cruch berry sounds really great 

I know my grand daughter loves that cereal too. Lately I want so many oils & have so little time.

Looking forward to this remodeling project to come to a end .I rather be pouring kwim.

I've never tried that one b4 but I know that CS has some quality oils.  

Enable much? 😂😂😂 

I currently have a cart with them. I swear I love their blueberry cheesecake. CW won out on which cart I ordered first with their current sale lol. The struggle is real. 

I agree with you on CW ,love so may of their Ultimate Bold selections , great quality.

I had  CS Bluebeery CC,so good .

I highly recommend ICS BBCC as well , personally I can't tell much difference between the two.

I love the fact ICS offers low flat rate shipping . I have a small cart I want to get from ICS ,I know I love the ones I have used from this supplier . Message me your address & I will get you a sample of CS Strawberry shortcake headed your way ,I know you will love this one .I have a couple more members I promised marshmallow fireside sampes from Aztec , I need to mail these out asap .It's on my get done this week list lol.

I don't worry about using them quickly. I pray on what to buy and since  it's a great deal I wouldn't be losing much money if I lost a few bottles. I have a bad knee and 2 bad feet from a fall 3 years ago. Every day hurts but I'm trying to keep trying. Some days are better than others.

Yes you have to keep forward & I have found a positive attitude ,helps tremendously when dealing with chronic pain. I struggle daily with neck & back pain. I have spinal stenosis & believe me it's horrible ,pinching nerves & muscle spasms . I do have good days & bad kwim. I think the deals you find are so awesome. 😀 

If you like a strawberry shortcake scent ,I definitely recommend Candlescience SS . It's is super strong with great throw . I will be happy to send you a sample of this one if you'd like to try it out .

The best thing it only takes 1 person. Word of mouth is all my sales

I know your certainly right about this . I look forward to moving to a college town . I am sure I will stay overwhelmed with melts lol.

I am limited to how many hours a day I can pour ,due to chronic neck pain ,I have a few girls that want to help me out with my business . This town also has a monthly craft market ,with a huge turn out of customers.  This move will benefit me tremendously . I am so looking forward to this change . I hope your hanging in there with your pain  issues . I know how frustrating chronic pain can be .

My candles i cure for at least 2 weeks. Sometimes longer. When i make them up i make at least a case of each scent..

Melts is a new project for me, they are very popular and being near a college campus it gives an option to them since they are not allowed to have candles

I was liking your post here ,about living near a college .I am so excited about finishing our remodel disaster ,then selling our home. We are moving to a much larger town & it  happens to have the University of Houston college in this town .It is the Victoria Tx branch . I know I will be able to move alot of melts in this bigger city kwim. A college is very convenient t

That is a great idea. I have 12 bookshelves right now and it is not enough. Need more money to get more. It's crazy. 

Wow that's absolutely alotttt of  oils girl . Do you think you can get them all used in a certain amount of time ?

I try to hold back with oils bc I am leary that they may go bad before I can  possibly use them all up kwim. I do have  neck & spine issues ,so limited to my pouring .

I do get some major pain ,if I do not take breaks often kwim.

I really admire your collection of oils . I will try & get a pic on soon of my work space . I read earlier wherev you were saying all was a mess . It's fine because if you don't have a mess ,your doing something wrong right lol. 

I am constantly trying to stay organized ,just gets out of handdyrjng busy seasons .

Try to get us a pic soon .I would love to see your great finds, such a blessing 😇 Kat

Ok ok. I'm going to say the same thing @ShellyF. 😂😂😂  we have to see your collection.  

We cant.find destashes because She finds them all lol. 

Jk. I found one on fb but I passed. 1-3 oz mostly but it was alot and that amount won't do to much for me,since I like to make a good quantity. 

I know right ,she's certainly lucky to find all these , especially the great quality oils . 😀

You just have to keep a constant eye out for it. Also the Facebook marketplace is good too. Some people just want it gone. I am reorganizing my room because I have stuff stashed here and there trying to find more room for it all. There are deals to be found. I might not get any one week but then get 3 the next. I stay away from expensive ones. Some people are wanting their space back lol so you jump on it. You have to be constantly looking as you never know when it will show up but I figure the ones I can't get aren't meant to be. I do want others to get great deals too. eBay has some often but we careful. Some are very old. I stay away from those. 

Oh I to would love to see your huge collection . I can never get so lucky enough to find those deals ,your one lucky duck girl .Post us a pic ,so we can Dream on girl .Thank you bunches 😀 Kat

Check out @ScentedPleasurez post about BC's surplus fragrances, a lot of winners in there. I think we already covered most of my favorites from BC, but some must-haves are Dreamweaver, Stonehenge, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and Crushed Ginger. All great throwers and unique fragrances.

 

Um, not be an enabler, but have you ever ordered from Indiana Candle Supply.....? Best variety of bakery scents, great prices, and killer strong. 🤓

The ones she has recommended  sound amazing . It's ok to enable lol

We gotta love our Fragrange oils ,I have been know to be a enabler myself .

I am excited to hear her ICS recommendations . I love the ones  I have used in the past .To name a few are Bluberry Cheesescake ,Caramel kettle corn ,Apple strudel Trapps recommendation. I know I have a few more ,my thoughts are lost atm . Guess the stress with my house issues are fogging my memory atm. I look forward to hearing more ICS scents . Lol especially the killer strong as you stated 😇

@katmeltswax and @Marleigha, you ladies are so right, I am getting my fall fragrances mixed up! Lol

 

 

I meant the Autumn Leaves from Aztec! So sorry! To me it smells exactly like Mahogany Spice, and not leafy at all.

 

Now, RE's Falling Leaves is wonderful, and does smell like leaves in the fall. I haven't smelled Flaming's yet! 😄

Thank you Sarah bunches ,it's ok bc I fo the same thing often ,mixed up oils lol...I have a sample of Flamings Falling leaves & want yo get into wax asap. I have alot going on here at home ,remodel ,due to plumbing leak .I won't bore you with the details ,such a mess .

I thank Marleigh from the bottom of my heart ,she has been taking in my troubles lately & supporting me 100% on the issues with  on my house . This girl has been such a blessing for me .

I am like you & absolutely love CW oils ,most are top of the line .

The Mahogany Spice has me curious & I am looking for a great BBW Mahogany Woods dupe .

I am now thinking maybe the Aztec Autumn leaves could be the BBW dupe of Mahogany Woods .

I know BBW has & still does replace the same scent with a different name .I will certainly look into this & compare the notes .

I will let you know how Flamings Falling Leaves  turns out asap. Sure smells great oob .

I need about 48 hours in a day right now . Thank you always

It's great mixed just wondered had you tried it. Good luck with the remodel,they can be a nightmare

Nightmare is putting it mildly lol.
