Absolutely, & it is an EXCELLENT thrower ! I did some Halloween chunk tarts with it, with an over pour of Vanilla Voodoo & it is one of my favorite blends I ever made ! I only wish that I ordered a larger bottle of the Candy Corn

The worst two ( I am sorry, this is a tie because they smelled so similar ! ) I smelled so far were both from WSP, which is one of my fave places for FO, ironically ! I ordered their Pink Sugar one day. Not sure why, because I am 100% satisfied with TCS’s PS, lol...but I love WSP, & figured, why not ?? It was a HUGE mistake ! It smelled like....I don’t even know ! Dirt, heavy musk, maybe patchouli ?? Not my bag at all... I ordered like 8 oz, maybe a pound ? Tossed it ! THAT bad ! Not redeemable in blends or anything. i ordered Warm Vanilla Sugar, also from WSP, & I kid you not, it smells almost EXACTLY like their alleged PS dupe ! By the time I ordered Hello Sugar, I was terrified of their “ sugar “ dupes 😂 And ordered the smallest available, a 2 oz. What do you know, that one was a PERFECT dupe !!! Lol. I wish I ordered a lb ofthat one.

They must have the dreaded Candle nose, from us making it 😂 Though, sometimes, I noticed that boys / men are not quite as good as placing scents ?? Lol I recall picking up a bottle of wine a few years back & the guy ringing me up saying that I smelled “ great, like cotton candy “.......I was wearing a lemon marshmallow white cake perfume from an etailer, lol

I need to try more oils from RE when I can ! I only tried two oils from them so far ( Candy corn & funnel cake ) & in my opinion, they have the best of each so far !

Hey, with all of the obsessions that a wife could have, i’m sure your husband feels lucky to have a wife whose obsession is making things smell amazing lol !

If I had to choose only one to start with, I would choose the Super Strong, because like you, I want a strong throw i use the parasoy tart / votive blend from The Flaming Candle & I love it !

If you’re looking to save, & that’s the scent that you want, JS does happen to have a Cotton Candy Frosted Cake oil ! I can’t help you with that one because I never ordered it ( yet, lol ) but I bet someone on here has ! There is someone on here who always has a huge list of JS oils that she’s tried & she is always so very helpful...I wish I could think of who, exactly, but I am nowhere near caffeinated enough to properly think, lol

I do make melts, that is the main things that I make these days ! I use the votive / tart parasoy blend from The Flaming Candle, I am very happy with that wax. Pretty much anything I order from them is top notch I got reallly good scent throw in my melts with the Jelly Doughnut !

I’ve unfortunately never tried NG or Bulk Apothecary yet but I always intended to, one of these days ! I wish I could be more help on the WSP Cotton Candy but I haven’t actually poured that one yet ! I need to do that soon, because it does smell exactly like MMS Cotton Candy, which I love ! If you only only try one cotton candy right now, I would suggest the Super Strong ! And ohhhhh for JS suggestions, I never got a bad one yet ! My absolute faves so far, aside from the two cotton candy oils, would be : Blue Cotton Candy Creme De Menthe, if you like dessert type mints, do yourself a favor, sister !! I could literally inhale that all day, lol. Cherry Slushie, which you would adore, based on you wanting strong scents ! This will blow you away, & it’s super realistic AND super cheap ! Bazooka Bubble Gum Caramel Apple, which is not only super strong, but it’s the best caramel apple I tried so far !

I wholeheartedly agree with the WSP Jelly Doughnut suggestion. Absolutely spot on, realistic & delicious smelling

Well first of all, I am absolutely green with envy that you love that close to WSP ! Lol. I am fortunate enough to live maybe 3 hours away. I live in PA, right across the Ohio border, where East Palestine is, so I always get the packages the very next day when they ship But, Lord, if I lived 30 minutes away I would be there alllll the time 😂 They would get a restraining order, haha. One of my fave supplier for oils ! The Cotton Candy Super Strong definitely has the edge in strength, at least IME, over the Frosting. But, the Cotton Candy Frosting certainly isn’t weak, either ! i haven’t tried the others that you asked about from JS, I’m sorry Random, but...since you seem to love cotton candy as much as me, lol, have you ever blended blood orange with cotton candy ?? It is DIVINE ! i used to get it in Bath & body scents from an etailer years ago & decided to recreate it for melts & candles. I get the Blood Orange essential oil from WSP. If you ever try it, be sure to get the blood orange EO, not the FO. i made the mistake of picking up the FO last time & it is absolutely not the same at all. But it is a delicious cotton candy blend to keep in mind People tend to love it.

I know that you weren’t directing this to me, but I figured I would chime in here, because I have both the Super Strong & the Cotton Candy Frosting I would say that it all depends on what you’re looking for - extra great throw, or a more realistic cotton candy. I absolutely adore both oils ! Both are realistic but to me, something about the Cotton Candy Frosting is more so... The Frosting is in the background, giving it a little kick of sweetness & somehow it comes off as fresh, real spun sugar from a carnival. I find the throw on it to be pretty strong, but not quite as strong as Cotton Candy Super Strong, which makes sense because that’s the point of it, lol. if you can afford both, I actually recommend it, they are both worth having ! I reach for both very often. I use the Super Strong when I blend with oils that are stronger, so that you can still smell the cotton candy in those blends, and the frosting for things like white cake, lemons, etc. I have WSP Cotton Candy also, it smells spot on ! I haven’t poured any yet, though, but I can’t think of any WSP oil that didn’t throw well for me, so far.

Ohhhh I never knew WSP had a marshmallow oil ! Thanks for reviewing, I need to try that...I have & adore Daystar's Marshmallow Fluff, which is perfect ! But I tend to order from WSP much more often so that is great to know

You NEED RE Candy Corn ! It smells a teensy bit odd OOB but AMAZING in wax ! The Candle Source used to have ( hopefully they still do ) a Pumpkin Creme Brûlée that was the best gourmand pumpkin I tried. I also associate anything caramel with fall / Halloween, so CC Ooey Gooey Caramel and JS Caramel Apple are great, also ! I plan on blending WSP Sweet Pumpkin Spice with RE Funnel Cake soon, I'll let you know how that pans out of you want

It really is ! Let me know how you like it, please Vanilla Voodoo is fast becoming my fave blender !

I did not, I used a parasoy blend for this but my first tarts were ecosoya so I will try that out, thank you for the suggestion !!! i used 2/3 candy corn & 1/3 VV !

If you like sweet, foody scents, some of my fave " mixers " that go good with almost anything are CC Vanilla Voodoo, TCS Pink Sugar, JS Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone, Daystar Marshmallow fluff, & WSP Cake Batter Ice Cream ( which is pretty pricey but very worth it ! ) One of my fave things to blend with allllll of those ^ is WSP Sweet Strawberry. I make mine as a hobby also, & to give as gifts, so I just tend to blend in little cups while the wax is melting & make any adjustments I think they need, at the time. It's addictive blending ! Lol. Once you get started, you will get a storm of ideas that come to you at the most random times ? I SUPER love Pink Sugar & Vanilla Voodoo together, about 50/50 blend of the two. Also WSP has a great blackberry, I think it's Fresh Picked Blackberry ? Which is great in a blend with Pink Sugar & Vanilla Voodoo. All about an equal third of each.

You HAVE to blend RE Candy Corn + CC Vanilla Voodoo. Simple combo but mmmmmm I have it burning right now & it is decadent ? I made chunk tarts in this blend...yellow & orange are both Candy Corn & the white over pour is the Vanilla Voodoo. Tried inserting a pic but it isn't working ?

It is a super creamy, sweet dessert type mint....think chocolate mousse, but mint instead of chocolate ! Or the mint part of Andes Candies. If you want a sweet, candy type peppermint, I would say definitely give it a go

The best I have tried so far is without a doubt, JS Creme De Menthe. It is creamy, sweet minty heaven in a bottle. God, every time I think about it, I have to go grab the bottle & inhale. Maybe that's what's wrong with me ??

No, I'm sorry, I haven't used that one !

I am so sorry, I just now saw this, haven't signed in for awhile ! I honestly detect no banana in it ! I'm surprised it's listed in the notes, lol. I don't have the Coconut Cream Pie to compare it to, but it smells nothing like other Coconut Cream Pies that I've had. It smells warm & boozy to me, & delicious ! I poured it in a parasoy tart recently & the throw is great !

I remember really liking The Candle Source's Candy Corn years ago. I have a small bottle from RE that smells great OOB, but I haven't tested it quite yet...thinking about getting around to this in the next couple of weeks, I really want to pour some yummy Halloween tarts !

Like in that category, or any JS oils ? I can definitely fill you in on the ones I've tried so far, if you'd like ! I already told you about the two Cotton Candy ones that you asked about so I will skip those, lol. One of my FAVE oils from JS is Cherry Slushie, which happens to be very cheap ( in their Bodacious Buys category ) but you wouldn't know it just to smell it ! it is strong & by strong, I mean knock your socks off, even in soy with minimum curing time ! And it smells exactly like a cherry Slushie ! I also love their Caramel Apple. Another spot on scent with great throw. Bazooka Bubblegum is another winner. Kettle Corn is so spot on, it's crazy. Very good throw on both of those, too. i also have Marshmallow Peeps, which is a very nice, sweet marshmallow...Twinkies, nice scent...Whipped Cream...I haven't tried them in wax yet, though. OH & Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone, which is soooo delicious & really does smell like a waffle cone Good throw on that one, too. Blue Cotton Candy smells great, again, very true to the name & strong ! i know JS is hit or miss on here but I personally have has great luck so far with them, & can't wait to try more

That is so sweet of you to offer ! I think I will just go ahead & toss it in my next order though, considering the good luck I've had with JS's other oils !
