  1. Hi Sharon, thank you for the offer but I have tested the honey gingerbread and though it smells wonderful I didn't have any luck with the hot throw in my blend as well as Granny's Yummy Pumpkin..Karen~
  2. Most oils sold on ebay are diluted..If the seller doesn't have a regular website to purchase from, chances are they will not be too good.Maybe an exception for a few but not many! Karen~
  3. Ky's gingerbread is VERY bitter IMO..Strong but bitter..Karen~
  4. I was hoping to hear a review on their gingerbread oil..Did you smell of it?! Karen~
  5. Can anyone recommend a true & strong *apple crisp* fragrance oil that works great in pure soy?Looking for one with apples,brown sugar,cinnamon &vanilla..Thnaks! Karen~
  6. I just poured Peaks sugar cookie,and it smells so good!! I have read some older threads on here and it sounds like I won't get a good hot throw..I will let it cure for a few days and see..I hope it throws in soy!!I also poured Candle Science sugar cookies and it isn't as good as Peaks..I let it cure for four days,lit it & it has little to medium throw plus it doesn't smell like a real sugar cookie to me..Is sugar cookie just a lighter scent that isn't suppose to be strong?Has anyone found a strong true one?I really love Peaks so far...Karen~
  7. Just went there and I didn't think they carried those jars,but thought it was worth a shot..These are the 16oz widemouth smooth sided salsa dipping jars..I have only found them @ Fillmore..Thanks! Karen~
  8. I can only find these at Fillmore but their minimum has me looking somewhere else..No luck so far..Does anyone know who else might have these jars with no minimum order requirements?Thanks! Karen~
  9. Looking for the proper instructions to include with my candle warmer jars..Can anyone post that or point me in the right direction?Thanks! Karen~
  10. I have samples of cinnamon sticks and sugar cookies coming from Candle Science & Peaks..I already received my Southern Soapers cinnamon sticks & sugar cookies..They smell awesome OOB!!Can't wait to get them in wax this weekend.. Karen~
  11. I ordered 8oz of Candle Science creme brulee and it is PERFECT for a good candy corn scent! Karen~
  12. I detect a cleaner type smell to ST gingerbread cookies,and NG wasn't strong enough..I am on a gingerbread hunt..I have samples of gingerbread coming from The Scent Works,Peaks,Southern Soapers & Pine Meadows..I hope one of them is a good one!! Karen~ I did get samples of Southern Soapers sugar cookies(which is currently being offered as a free sample on the website) & cinnamon sticks..Out of bottle they both smell awesome!Going to mix the two and try for a good snickerdoodle..
  13. I just ordered from Candle Science!Oh well,I will have to get samples of both sugar cookies & cinnamon sticks and see if it makes a good snickerdoodle..I am sorry, but I just am not a big fan of MC's oils..I am sure some of them are great but everytime I have ever ordered from them I have always wound up selling what I purchased..(oils) Thanks for the suggestions though..Karen~
  14. I am hoping someone can suggest great sugar cookies & cinnamon fragrance oils? Thinking about mixing my own snickerdoodle..Looking for good strong throwers in soy..Any help would be GREATLY appreciated..Tried SS snickerdoodle and I don't care for it..Thanks! Karen~
  15. I bought a sample of pumpkin souffle from CS and it has been curing for four days..I lit it this morning and already blew it out! It definately smells burnt..The burnt hair smell someone said earlier is dead on.I am so glad I didn't get a larger bottle..Looks like alot of other companies have this same NEW oil on their sites as well..Not a good pumpkin scent in my opinion..Why is it SO hard to find a pumpkin pie,sugar cookie & gingerbread that throws and smells true??I have just about given up on trying to find these oils..Not really,but you would think these different suppliers would come up with these three scents sooner or later....that actually smell good and strong and are true to their names...Karen~
  16. I am in search of a great creme brulee that has a nice hot throw in soy without the chocolate notes..Looking to find one to use as candy corn..TIA!
  17. I was using BCN campfire smoke but it has very little hot throw in soy..Has anyone tested Blazing Bonfire from Daystar yet?Just curious if it is worth trying?Thanks! Karen~
  18. I read some older threads that some of you are using creme brulee in place of candy corn, for candy corn..Who has a great creme brulle that smells similar to candy corn that has a nice hot throw in soy?I tried CC candy corn and although it gets wonderful reviews, I personally did not like it..Weird smell to me..Some creme brulee's have a chocolate note and that wouldn't work for candy corn..So just wondering if anyone knows of a good one that smells like candy corn?I also have ST creme brulee but I don't care for it..Thanks! Karen~
  19. I have been using NG pumpkin crunch cake and it is wonderful..Has anyone found a spicy pumpkin pie that has a great hot throw in soy?I didn't get much of a throw with the new yummy pumpkin from Backwoods,although it smells great..I am looking for a pumpkin pie with lots of pumpkin and cinnamon..Thanks! Karen~
  20. I just ordered 8oz of gingerbread from The Scent Shack..I haven't tried this one yet!Thanks so much for suggesting it to me Chris!I hope it is good..Will also try the Southern Soapers iced gingerbread..You guys are great,thanks! Karen~ will post my results once I get them poured,cured and tested!
  21. Ok,alot of you suggested WYW buttery gingerbread but after reading some old threads sounds like it doesn't throw in soy..It is so expensive and with what I have read on throw, I doubt I order any of it from there..Early American Candles is one I am thinking of trying.Has anyone used this with good results?Most of the gingerbreads I have tested do not smell like true gingerbread..I know there HAS to be one somewhere!I hate to waste anymore money looking for this scent but I definately need it in my line for the holidays..Whose gingerbread are you currently using for soy with a nice hot throw?Snowtops is pretty good but I detect a cleaner type smell to it..I think this is the hardest scent to find!Along with pumpkin pie of course!Karen~
  22. I would love to know how the gingerbread does for you in a candle!Do you use soy?I have been thinking about getting a sample of the gingerbread to test..Thanks! Karen~
  23. Looks like they have a nice selection of oils in the premium line but I have never ordered from there before..Anyone tried any of the premium scents in pure soy?Karen~
  24. I have been using Candlewics snickerdoodle but between their snickerdoodle and gingerbread spice cake oils they smell very similar so I am looking for a replacement..I ordered a sample of Southern Scentsations to try in wax.I had a sample of it before but never got in the wax and didn't think it was very strong OOB..But after reading some older threads I guess I should try it in wax!Natures Garden has a nice review on their snickerdoodle also..Which is the better of the two?Or is there an even better one somewhere?Thanks!Karen~
  25. Well,I used NG gingerbread for quite awhile about a year ago and it just didn't have a strong smell to me..Although it did smell good..WYW sounds too buttery for me..I am not sure if gingerbread even has butter in it?I am looking for a molasses,brown sugar,ginger & cinnamon blend,like gingerbread is suppose to be when you make it in the oven..Snowtops is definately good but everytime I smell it I detect some kind of cleaner type smell and it turned me off from using it..Gingerbread is a very hard scent to find..Maybe suppliers will read these posts and come up with a true one..I seen that Keystone has molasses but the description says weak cold throw and awesome hot throw..Wondering if it would sell with a weak cold throw since customers usually go by the cold throw when smelling a candle..I don't think sugar cookies is in the ingredients for making homemade gingerbread.Need to look at my recipe and figure it out!Maybe I should just buy the ingredients in the oils and mix my own..Molasses isn't on everyone's list,I have only been able to find it at Keystone..Anyone know who else has this scent?Karen~
