Fluff is by far the best marshmallow I've found. I could pour it into a little baby pool and roll around in it.

The prices were so good I couldn't help it. Anyone have experiences with these?

I use 464 and 4630 at a 60/40 ratio for containers. For tarts, I use 464 and 4625 at a 50/50 ratio.

 

@Faerywren I'm going to try that blend. Where do you find the best prices on your waxes?

Never heard of that one hmmm

is BA bulk apothecary ? Is it 

supposed to be like pink sugar

It is Bulk Apothecary. It's not pink sugar, it's based on a Philosophy product. It does not smell like marshmallows, more like a lighter pink sugar with some lemon.

No, I haven't tried any of the 

Prada type. I've heard MMS 

has a really good pink sugar 

and I love that scent. 

I love it, too. I also love Sugar Chick from BA. They're not cheap, but it's good stuff.

I think I might go with the let them eat cake. Have you come across anything that smells like Prada's Candy ? Its similar to Pink Sugar but sorta different lol !

If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you. No, I haven't, but I haven't looked. I've seen it on several FO sites. Have you tried any?

Oh! I forgot one! I also purchased Woods and Bitter Coffee. 

OOB, I smell a lot of patchouli. Hope it develops into something more complex.

So I just went to DayStar to check a few of these out. If you had to choose between the indulgent one + let them eat cake, which would you choose. Are they similar ?

I need to choose one because they are +8.50 for 2 oz  Amande coco sounds good too lol ! so does vanilla delicious + vanilla apricot  

It depends. If you want something more gourmand, go with Indulgent. It's not food-y, but you can really pick up on that vanilla. Let Them Eat Cake has less raw vanilla and a more powdery lightness. I wouldn't give up either one of them. Indulgent is warmer, Cake is more...it's own thing.

If you like scents like that, by all means check out TokyoMilk's scents. Bulletproof and Tainted Love are both unique scents I wear all the time. I'd love to have them duped. (Although I may have figured out Bulletproof. I think it's primarily Mysore wood. Still working)

I'll be offering sniffies so you can get an idea of the scents either for this time or next go round.

 

i use blotter paper inside a foil wrap so it travels by first class mail. Then you can file it for later. 

Awesome. I will be all over that. Thanks!

Tsw had some of the best, most nuanced blends anywhere. Their closing was a total loss for many of us who were spoiled with high end blends.

 

the duping process can end with the same price per lb as her normal oils but with a minimum commitment from people to co-op, like 25 lbs.

 

I have had 8 TSW oils duped. And I am about to begin a co-op for them. 

I saw that. I wish I knew what they were like so I could grab some! I just love the idea of Tonic, even though I haven't smelled it.

I've never had a sub. Weird. She gets super busy, so a reply may take time. Wherever she is located often has some severe storms that cause temporary closures too. Nothing like a tornado to ruin your day ?

 

Milk sugar is a perfect blender for chai latte. ?

 

She also does nice dupes. She did the tsw blood orange patchouli and really hit a home run imo.

What do dupes cost?

Also, I keep hearing about TSW oils and the interest in dupes. What the dealio there?

I have had good luck with daystar oils. The only thing is disliked were frequent stockouts. 

Yes. I wanted several that were out of stock. I thought about calling her.

The other thing I was not pleased with was that she subbed another oil- Toffee Sugar Crunch- for Liquid Crack because she was out of it. I already have that scent and didn't need another one. I think I should tell her that, since I paid for it.

Cake Bake- As expected

I Want Cake- I wore it on my wrist and I love it. I love all of Tokyo Milk's scents, though.

Black Orchid & Vanille-I little dark, a little creamy. Looking forward to putting this is wax 

Salty Sailor- My favorite ocean-y scent yet

Milk Sugar Kisses- Where has this been all my life? It smells like milk. Actual milk. And sugar. I needed this.

The Indulgent One- Uh...yes. Yes, yes, yes for everything.

Divine Vanilla Spirit- More like a perfume than a typical FO. I love it. Not too sweet. There's musk in there, and some wood.

Toffee Sugar Crunch- It's Honey I Washed the Kids. Exactly like the one I got from NG and very good.

Vanilla Mandarin Bourbon. OOB, it smells creamsicle-y, but not super sweet. Another one I look forward to testing in stuff.

Marshmallow Fluff- If it stays just the way it is now, I have found the perfect marshmallow. It does, indeed, smell like Fluff.

Cake Batter- Yep

Vanilla of Madagascar- This is the only one I really need to investigate more before I make a judgement

Chergui Winds- I don't even know what is going on in there, but I love it. It could just be the OOB phenomenon, but I smell Camay.

Serendipity- Smells good- like fruit and cake or something. Will need to test.

I will report back when I get them in products, but I could not keep myself from reporting that I received an order from Daystar and I cannot believe how good everything smells. I will be wearing several of them as perfumes. If you're into boutique, high-end, unusual, perfume-based stuff, get thee to the Daystar site because wow. I'm happy to list my fragrances if you're interested. Just remember, they're OOB, but that matters to me if I know I'm using them in a perfume or in a B&B product. 

Also, please share your favorites! I want to buy more!

Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Good luck! I really mean that. I have yet to find anything that actually smells like what you're describing. I didn't have the same experience with NG Cracklin Birch. I found it to be perfume-y. Please keep us posted on your experimentation- good and bad!

I have a tough time ordering without knowing what I'm getting. They'd sell so much more if they at least had descriptions!

Another store question. Because I have a problem and I recognize that. The Candlemaker's Store has some really interesting scents, but there are no reviews and very few descriptions, which leaves me with questions like, "What does Morning Mist smell like? What about Mountain Mist? Is the Beef Jerky authentic? Will I ever know?"

If you've been a customer, can you share your experiences?

I LOVE Oregon Trails FO's and always have great customer service and 99% of the time my orders are shipped the next day after ordering

The ones I have tried are great in my Parasoy Blended wax. (Melts only)

Lavender Rose ~ Super Strong and a Best Seller

Black Tea ~ Strong.. I use this one and Daystars Black Tea they smell the same to me.

SapMoss Type ~ The best I have found and super strong

White Witch ~ A Patchouli Type..Super Strong and very pretty

Butter Cream Supreme ~ Very light throw in melts but smells delicious. I have used as a mixer

Spring Mountain Mint ~ LOVE LOVE and its a best seller. Medium throw in melts

Cool Mountain Lake ~ Super Strong and very popular with my Men customers

 

I know there was only 2 on here that you asked about but I think they are worth a try  HTH

 

Thanks for this! I make parasoy melts, too. Please feel free to share any other scents that work well for you! I'm happy to do the same.

I never hear anyone raving about them here, so I'm skeptical. I'm also on the east coast, so it would take a looooong time if you're already having that issue.

@Sponiebr, I don't know you, but I love you.

I remember someone not being too thrilled with this company, but I don't remember why. I know nothing about them, but they carry some oils I really want to try. Thanks for your feedback!

Got Milk

Arrogance Lime Sugar (I have this perfume and I love it)

Black Pepper

Imperial White Tea

Mediterranean Sea Salt

Tonka Bean and Soft Sugar

Vanilla Bourbon Fragrance Oil *formerly Vaniglia del Madagascar*

Vanilla Buttercrème Supreme

Ceylon Black Tea

Mysore Sandalwood (Because mysore wood is amazing and if this is similar, I want it)

I haven't found anything like what I'm looking for. Seems like they throw extra stuff in all the time. I sort of want the smell of rice pudding or tapioca pudding. You know that smell? Milky, creamy, sweet, vanilla-y, and subtle? Yeah. That.

In case anyone is looking for the Grandpa's pipe sort of scent, I think Flaming nailed it. WSP's Santa's Pipe isn't too bad, either.
