Have you tried BNB from Peaks? I love this one but have read some good reviews about CS's version. Oh jeez, another oil to test! LOL
-
This is a wonderful scent, I would keep it as my only lemon if I had to! LOL Great seller, too.
-
I don't know if anyone else has a cake batter, but I say Daystar is a winner!
-
I love all the coffee scents, they just seem to hit the nail on the head! I also am a big fan of Berry Buttercream, Creme de la Creme and Totally Scrumptious. They are from a few years ago, but continue to be steady sellers!
-
The only one I have that you listed was the Banana Wafer Pudding and it is dead on. I love it and had a great throw after 48 hrs in my soy!
-
Is this one similar to Greenleaf's wax? I just got some in, and it is so smooth, I love how easily it cuts! Great scent throw, too.This wax is outstanding! Burns very clean, it's been a single pour in the majority of my containers, great appearance and it throws like mad (I generally use 6-7% FO)...I just can't say enough about it! And please don't judge me by my post count...I've been pouring candles for over 5 years now.Unfortunately I have not tried Ky's wax, so hopefully someone else can chime in on a comparison.

YEP!
They have great oils. I love every oil I have tried. Be sure to get Salty Sea Air, this is the best version if the scent! I use soy and soy blends and they work great in both.

Try www.riekesglass.comI'm not sure exactly where to post this one, but I was wondering if anybody new of a supplier in Southern Illinois, Southeast Missouri, Western Kentucky, or Southwest Indiana that sells the 8oz square mason jars. I have searched online and haven't come up with any yet. Thanks!Stephanie
They have great CS and ask for Rick. He is great and will send samples too.
-
I forgot about these! LOL All of their scents rock!Can't leave out ... Toasted Marshmallow, Hot Chocolate, Grandmother's Toddy ... I agree, basically all of them. -
Got mine here too! I am so excited to have a way to make tarts without the worry of them losing scent like the clamshells.Food Service Direct is where I get mine too- you'll want the polypropylene ones for melts- I think the brand is Conex. I just started doing mine this way last week and poured one super hot just to test it, no melting or warping at all. I LOVE them...makes pouring melts easier than ever- I love not having to unmold! -
My top seller has been Birthday cake???? Weird!
Pumpkin Pie
Hot Buttered Rum
Eggnog
Harvest

Hey don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us! I have found KY apple pie to be dynamite! I love this one, and I tested it next to JBN, it was much stronger. For something different, Daystar's Apple Pan Dowdy is yummy too. I am testing JS Amazing apple pie right now, and it is really nice too. I think it is much stronger and better than thier hot apple pie version.
-
I love them too!!! I have had such great luck with Amy's oils. I just got in my order too! My favorites are:
Strawberry Musk
Birthday Cake
Pineapple Cilantro
Celtic Moonspice
Flannel Sheets
Cuke Mint
Grasshopper Pie
Clothespins
Kickin caramel
I can go on, they are just wonderful!!
-
I have had the same issue as of late too. My scents that are acting up are from Daystar. I noticed the Vanilla Rum Raisin Balls and Vanilla Bean Noel, too. I also had a sugar cookie go bad.......I am considering dropping these from my line, I dont' want to lose money either.
-
Have you tested this in soy?
Very strong in soy, too---we sell it all year round.
-
The lemon tart from Backwoods does not smell like LLC to me. Lemon Tart smells like it's name. A nice strong tart lemon. The LLC smells more bakery to my nose like Lemon Pound Cake.
I don't get any lemon pound cake notes from LLC from SW at all---it is definitely a Lemon Curd scent---we make this stuff and that is what it smells like. Lemon Pound Cake from Peaks is excellent, for that scent though. The Lemon Tart from Backwoods was called London Lemon Curd---I have it! Awesome scent, I do like it better than SW's too.

:laugh2: :laugh2:LOL, you crack me up!Well I wouldn't rename it lol, but for the season, holiday kitchen; holiday flair; satisfied tummies (sorry lol!) I'm not that creative. My creativity was stolen recently. -
I would love a 'surprise' sale myself, lol:lipsrseal that is a awfully good hint m'dear .... hmmmm... :lipsrsealstacy
-
Caramel Nut Cluster from Snowtop is tops, much stronger than most I have tested, too.
-
Did you happen to get any of her dreamy dessert collection? I am curious about these....love her pistachio ice cream and cinnamon baklava, delish! I wish she didn't discontinue the raspberry rugelach, that was so wonderful.
-
Peaks-- hands down is the best. I have tried them all, including KY and BCS, they both have an artificial note I didn't care for, and Peaks is perfect.
-
I am another person that has great success with JS oils. I have a few that don't throw well for me, no different than any other company. My best sellers are JS oils--and we carry lots of oils from other companies like CC, WYW, MC, FOH, SW, etc. Everyone loves my candles and the favorites are always JS. I think their oils are very nice complex oils.

Thanks guys my hubby wants me to make it my logo! on another note ll I have to say is Well said Diamond Creek and Jordan. The more I thought about it she broke a few on this sight. She has only posted a total of 3 times and she signed up just this August. Yet she homed in on Diamond Creek Candles post by the next day. That is amazing. What is her purpose on this sight anyhow. Has she actually poured a candle or is she snooping to pick and choose who can qualify for her next pick. You are right Jordan. She undid all of his business right out in front of us which was covering her -$$. Her last posts were the same thing. Unless the candle companies are paying her for reviews I would think there would be some sort of law out there for her bashing a company on her site. That is damaging to someones business and crafting. I just saw something lately that a man sued the owner of a website that bashes exboyfriends. The guy has a case because it caused problems for his medical practice. So he sued her for damages to his business. Aren't candles the business here?
I agree, Stacien.
Her unveiling of Diamond Creek's business was beyond unprofessional. I am absolutely appalled she would think coming on this board of thousands of candlemakers and proceeding to slander one of our members is going to help her business! My Goodness. I have told all of my candlemaking friends to stay away from Candlefind, as they are obviously biased and extremely unprofessional. I also wonder why she came on a candlemakers board in the first place, isn't she a candle buyer/reviewer? Doesn't this step on the toes of the candle companies that pay to advertise on her review site? I also believe she states unbiased reviews on her site, and after this post, I don't think there is any way that site is unbiased---they single people out and publicly humiliate them.
Posting on a chandlers site in general is almost like she is trying to snoop and find out how her clients make their candles she reviews, or where they get their oils. Which to me is a conflict of interest. It all just seems sketchy to me. I would never run my business this way---first rule in business is to never badmouth the competetor or share personal business with other clients/customers. Nothing scares away customers more than to observe you acting unfairly to other customers.
I think everyone should boycot this site, as it could cause damage to your business---I guess Carolyn showed her true colors.
Pomegranate anyone?

I really like SS's Pomegranate and the new mixes from Flickers. They are wonderful. Haven't tried JS's cupid, though----may have to check it out.
