Hi Giovanna! The best banana fragrance I’ve ties is the old fashioned banana pudding from NG. It’s just a banana with some creaminess to it. I personally love it. And mix it with cookies and cakes and all kinds of stuff! And it throws very well in parasoy wax! HTH! 😇

I know how much you love the powdered sugar FO from JS. The one from WSP used to be part of the Fragrance Formulator line. It seems to have race reviews too. 🤞🏼 https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/sugared-fragrance-oil-ff.aspx

Hello @bfroberts! I am definitely right on board with you with the complete and utter boredom when it comes to fragrance oils for winter. I would have to say off the top of my head I am “IN LOVE” with Grandmas Cupboard from Rustic! Rain or shine, Spring or Winter, this oils is so satisfying! I also have a newfound love for little Black Dress especially in mixes. But a mix I recently tried is Fall Festival MW Type mixed with Cranberry Oak Peak type and giirrlll..... whew weeee! A very nice blend! I did a 60/40 blend but they go well together so I’m sure when you smell them together you will see what I mean. I also tried blending sugar cookie with Cranberry Oak and liked it! Blends definitely set us apart.... 😇

Thank you for the heads up @Paintguru VERY KIND of you! 😇🙌🏼

I have Black Vetiver Cafe from PFO and love it! It’s not an in your face scent but it travels very well if that makes sense. Definitely worth it though! Plus PFO has great customer service! She’s on top of things to say the least!

I’m glad to hear you say that. I’m ISO a good and strong cinnamon bun FO. The one I have is just meh at best. I think the bear claw is a nice bakery scent, but a few of my friends/family members have said it’s a bit too sweet. So on the hunt I go! ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC: WSP IS HAVING A 25% OFF ALL FRAGRANCE OILS LADIES! Damnit I need more oils like I need a hole in the head! Grrr... But I am off to go select a few. Any suggestions from WSP?

Hello @coffeebean I too am in search of a good peanut butter fragrance. The peanut butter FO I purchased I am not impressed with. What Peanut Butter did you end up going with? TIA! 😇

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! Out of the bottle does the cinnamon bun smell close to bear claws or no? Oh and the boo berry is stellar in my parasoy wax also!

Just seen your comment about the cinnamon buns! Good to know! I have their Bear Claws and their Vanilla Frosted Graham..... Would you say the Cinnamon Bun is different then those 2? Are there any others that you really like from ICS? 😇

I would definitely suggest: NG Capri Olivo as it’s an utterly beautiful scent that makes me think of a beautiful place! NG Agave Lime as at the beginning of June they say the Lime trees of Italy begin blossoming. NG Italian Biscotti. It’s a nice bakery smell! Coffee House or Any coffee smell as they say everywhere you go on the streets of Italy you will smell coffee and hear the hissing sounds of an expresso machine. 😎 Peace from Fragance Buddy which is the Lush Olive Branch dupe. It’s definitely a nice fragrance on its own but I also like it when it’s blended. Amalfi Coast from Wellington.... This one I haven’t used myself but I have been eyeballing it! And it sounds perfect for what your wanting. LOL 🤩 Anyways, I hope this helps a bit.... 😇

Ahhh, So you would compare this to Grandmas Cupboard and it would come out on top? I have tried Grandmas Cupboard and thought it was nice just not super strong. So you prefer the MC Oatmeal Cookie over the Grandmas Cupboard?

Tested in: Wax Melts Description: This is a smokey, sexy & exotic fragrance. It’s earthy & IMO just mesmerizing! The cold/hot throw is very nice. It won’t throw you out of your house by any means, but it will fill a room with a very nice scent! Wax used: Parasoy blend Fragrance load (%): 9% Average cure time: 1-2 weeks Wax additives: None Container: N/A Wick: N/A Cold throw: VERY GOOD (8 out of 10) Hot Throw: EXCELLENT (8 out of 10)

Tested in: Wax Melts Description: This is another duplication fragrance. I have many customers who enjoy the masculine types of fragrances. PFO really knows what they are doing with their FO’s in general, but especially the types as they are very accurate! The cold/hot throw on this one is fab! Wax used: Parasoy blend Fragrance load (%): 9% Average cure time: 1-2 weeks Wax additives: None Container: N/A Wick: N/A Cold throw: VERY GOOD (10 out of 10) Hot Throw: EXCELLENT (9 out of 10)

Tested in: Wax Melts Description: This is a duplication fragrance... That of which I have tried from several different suppliers. I was reluctant to purchase it at first due to already having a pound of it from BB. In any event, I wanted to see what one actually was better in my wax blend. Hands down I prefer the one from PFO. It’s just superior in my particular blend. The cold/hot throw is phenomenal! Wax used: Parasoy blend Fragrance load (%): 9% Average cure time: 1-2 weeks Wax additives: None Container: N/A Wick: N/A Cold throw: VERY GOOD (10 out of 10) Hot Throw: EXCELLENT (10 out of 10)

Yaassss!!!! Candlewic’s Sugared Vanilla Shortbread is stellar! As Fireside stated you will not be disappointed! 😍

I strongly suggest that you try some of their oils. I have a good selection of their oils and can definitely suggest some for you. I use a parasoy wax. Check out PFO and LMK what ones are catching your eye and I’ll let you known my thoughts based on using parasoy. 👍🏼

@bfroberts I second that question. What room spray base do you currently use? 😇

Issey Miyake- RE The Perfect Man- NG Barbershop 1920’s- RE Black Vetiver Cafe- PFO Fierce- PFO Caramel Tobacco- JS Green Irish Tweed- NG or RE have tried from both places. And the Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille FO that Sarah suggested is another really good one. I’m getting ready to buy Sauvage Dior from JS. She has some of the best duplications! HTH! 😇

You and Belinda have me sold on the White Cake now too. I am really wanting to get even more bakery then I have. It seems extremely popular for me lately too. I have to agree with you on Sugar Milk.... It’s an amazing blender for me! 💞. Yessss.... Cinnamon Toast Crunch would be amazing! 🥰

I know right! Buying and testing more oils I think I enjoy more the most. LOL 🤣 I do love the Blueberry Cheesecake from CS quite a bit but I think I will at least pick up an 8 oz bottle from ICS just to compare. If I don’t like it as much, I can just swap it out with one of my Waxy friends. I think you have me sold on the cherry cookies! I love the sound of it being creamy and the fact that you are able to smell the cookie in it too. That’s great! For her white cake you mentioned that it’s super amaretto smelling..... Can you still smell the cake scent or not so much? Definitely noted on the Count Chocula. Doesn’t sound like one you would likely reorder huh? Frankenberry sounds great but Frute Brute sounds mainly cherry. Lemon Ice Box Cookies sounds great! I almost ordered I ed Lemon Cookie from Aztec but I know ICS has such great bakery oils. I’m glad I help off so I can try hers. Praline Pound Cake sounds more appealing to me then Caramelized Pralines. I am just not a fan of the CS Caramelized Pralines. There is something in it that kinda makes me go eww... lol In any event thank you so much for your help and explanations on the scents from ICS. She truly has amazing oils. Any others we didn’t chat about?

Hi @gigglefits I love your screen name here on CS. Cute! Thank you for your suggestions as well. I have about 10 from your list. They are: Bear Claws Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies Boo Berry Strawberry White Cake Strawberry, Raspberry & Guava Sugar Cookie Dough Sugar Milk Sweet Bakery Dough Wildberry Mousse Zucchini Bread I do have quite a few from your list in my cart though. They are: Blueberry Cheesecake- how does this one differ from Candle Science if you have tried theirs? Cherry Cookies- Can you smell both the cookie and cherry? Is this similar to fruity brute? Count Chocula- I’m not usually big on chocolate scents, but this one captured my attention for some reason. I’m assuming you can smell the cereal in here too? What is your favorite Chocolate scent from ICS? Flapjacks- @lovelyscents suggested this one to me also. She said it’s the best pancake oil she has tried. Frankenberry- What do you get out of this one mostly? Fruity Brute- Does this one smell close to Frabkenberry? Seems like it might. 🤔 Lemon Icebox Cookies- Does this one smell just like regular lemon cookies? Praline Pound Cake- Does this one smell anything like Caramelized Pralines from Candle Science? Or is it more of a pound cake with a tad bit of a nutty smell? Goodness I really loaded up the questions lol hope you don’t mind. Thanks again! 😇

Hi @Belinda Thank you for your suggestions! You are always so helpful with suggestions and typically when you suggest something I love it! I have a decent selection of her oils but the only ones from your list that I have are: blackberry jam butter cookie sugar cookie dough bear claws booberry I do have a few in my cart that you listed. They are: caramel nut cluster apple fritter lemon meringue Does the lemon meringue smell like fruit loops or does it actually smell like a pie? Is the caramel nut cluster mostly caramel or can you also smell a peanut smell as well? Then you have my attention with the white cake... Does it have a cherry smell to it or does it mostly smell like a birthday cake? Turtle Brownies.... That just reminded me!!! I still want to do our swap with the caramel pretzel bar lol 😂🙌🏼

Hi @Timber Thank you for your suggestions. The only one that I have tried from the ones you suggested is Hello Beautiful. I have to agree that it is extremely light. Pretty just definitely to light for candles/wax melts IMO. I’ve heard so much about her PPW. I still have about 10-11 oz. left from FB, but as soon as I run low I will grab some from ICS. I definitely am more then pleased with what I have tried thus far. And her prices are very fair too!

Yes Moonstar ICS Wildberry mouse is really nice too! 🙌🏼😇. Mix it with pie crust and it’s a really nice blend!

Hi Karen! I have no idea why CS got rid of that one! Such a pretty & harder to find fragrance. I just checked and found this site carries a sage & pomegranate FO. I’ve never order from them before but here is the link: https://www.candlemakingsupplies.net/fragrances---old/candle-scents---br-15---16-oz--bottles/cate_64/p___P0633490.html Maybe you can contact them to inquire and perhaps ask any questions you may have. I truly hope that you can find it again. Worse case scenario while you still have some put maybe an ounce in a bottle and try to dupe it yourself. Maybe white sage from RE mixed with a small amount of pomegranate? Or maybe even white sage, pomegranate and sage and citrus. Here are the notes for sage & pomegranate from CS website. Note Profile:Top: Sage, Citrus, Green FloralMiddle: Pomegranate, Red Currant, JasmineBase: Cedar Give it a shot.... 🙌🏼😇
