This is the best deal I've found so far on foamers:

It's a very nice gingerbread. Warm, spicey & buttery. It's not too overpowering in the spice department. It's perfect really.

Here it is: BTW I also really like their Black Currant!

I use Iced Gingerbread from Solas -- LOVE IT!

I second Daystar's! LOVE IT! I've tried LOTS of Buttercreams and this was the only one that I liked. The others were too weak.

This is probably a dumb idea, but what if one person made a list of all of their scents and everyone else would pick which of those scents, if any, they would like to get sniffies of. I you want 10 sniffies off the list, you send that person 10 sniffies of yours, if you only want 1 of their scents, you only send one sniffy. Then it would go on to the next person. Just a thought. This would help eliminate too many duplicate scents.

So if the consensus is to send a finished product maybe soapers could send a tiny bit of soap in a baggie and us b&b people could send those little foil sample packs with some lotion in them. I have some of these foil packets, but I haven't tried 'em yet. I'll do some experimenting tonight.

What about these?

They're a little larger, but pretty darn cheap.

If your mix doesn't work out, BnL (BCN) has a Hayride that IMO smells pretty authentic.

I would love to get in on this, but I only do B&B, so melts are out for me. Call me crazy, but could we buy some of those real cheap ball point pens from either the dollar store or wally world, you know the ones that are like 50 cents for a dozen, and just pop of the end, remove the barrel of ink, and then insert a Q-tip sniffy? Sounds dumb, but it would still be pretty cheap to mail. They'd weigh next to nothing and could still fit in an envelope.

Well I'm definitely game. I'm not sure exactly what would be the best way to go about it. But while we're ironing out the specifics, I'll at least work on getting my list o' scents together. This could be fun!

I did like this scent. But it doesn't remind me of autumn. IMO it smells like peach bubblegum.

Yeah this is a good idea. I lost track of how many scents I've tried in the last few months that I either didn't like or that I already had something very similar to. Sure I was able to sell some, but I definitely didn't make back even close to what I put into them. This would save lots of money!

Thanks Candle Man! I will have to do some testing before getting any large quantities.

I found some neat colored bottles, finally!

I want one too! Also, a dupe of their Autumn Pear would be awesome!

I'm just starting out and wanted to offer at least one scent in each of the major categories. I'm really having trouble thinking of a good citrus scent for fall and winter. Any ideas? Do people mainly buy citrus just in the summer? Thanks!

Their Cinnamon Frosting is really nice. But to me it smells just like AH's Cinnamon Buns!

If you like BBW Cucumber Melon, Bubbles n Lights (BCN) is a dead on dupe!

I've been trying lots of different suppliers lately and I've found some more scents that smell alike:

1.) Orange Chiffon Cake-JS, Hot Orange Danish-NG

2.) Banana Split-DS, Monkey Farts-AH

3.) Serendipity-JS, Cupid-BCN/BNL

4.) Framboise Citron Cheesecake-AH, Iced Lemon Danish-Peak

5.) Ultimate Vanilla-DS, French Vanilla-AH, Vanilla Voodoo-CC

6.) Candy Corn-JS, CC, BCN

7.) Eggnog-BCN, Custard-AWE

8.) Silky V Vanilla-JS, Very Vanilla-BCN, Vanilla Extract-BCS,

Simply Vanilla-DS, Glazed Donut-TC, Angel Food Cake-WSP

9.) Coconut Cream Pie-BCN, JS

10.) Twinkies-JS, Nanny's Country Pound Cake-DS

Of course this is just my opinion. Maybe I'm way off. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I'll see if I can find some on there. Once I smell them again maybe I can figure out what to mix to make it myself -- hopefully.

A few years ago Partylite had a fall candle called Mystery Potion. It was bright green and smelled awesome. I don't really remember WHAT it smelled like, I just know that I loved it. Does anyone remember it?

I've already found a Vanilla Bean Noel that I really like--Daystar's. Now I'm just trying to find the plain ol' Vanilla Bean. I looks like I'll be ordering from Craftlobby. Thanks! :smiley2:

Does anyone remember BBW original Vanilla Bean and know where I can find something similar? I've tried several different ones and IMO they all smell too sweet.

I have tried a few of their scents and was very pleased.

I only used them in bath and body products, so I can say how well they perform in wax. Hope this helps!
