Crystal Blue Waters for me. Great dupe, awesome in soy wax and lots cheaper than the competition. Also the Old Fashioned Banana Pudding. Yummers and awesome throw. And Butter Brickle - super sweet and buttery.

I don't think you can go wrong with anyone's chocolate in soy. It's one of those foolproof scents that work well with this type of wax, at least, this is what I've found. That being said, southern scentsations has an outstanding brownie in soy.

BCS's sugar cookie is hard to top but Bluegrass has a really good butter cookie in soy. They recently restocked so hopefully this one is in.

SS - You should ask Bluegrass this question directly and get back to us with their answer. If Tonya answers, hang up and try again until you get Randy.

Well, late as usual but my red flag for your problem is you're using a 100% soy wax at 1 oz FO pp of wax. Try upping the amount of FO you use. IMO, 90% of the oils out there will NOT give you a blow your socks off throw at 6% in pure soy wax. The only supplier I've come across that you can expect this kind of consistency from is Wick Your Wax (and at their prices, they have to throw well at 6%). HTHs, better late than never.

Just Scent's blueberry is excellent in soy.

Actually, there's a great link on another well established candle board that lists this exact info. Do a google and you'll probably find it.

If you have a sweet tooth, these are incredible: birthday cake raw cocoa (a must try for any chocolate fan) marshmallow creme brulee Two of their strongest (IMO): Wildberry Crisp Cherries and Chestnuts You need to have a light hand with these two - 1 to 1.2 oz to a lb of soy wax is plenty. Her fresh peach and mulberry are also standouts, IMO.

Did you throw them out just based on how they smelt OOB? I'm curious because some of the best fos I've come across absolutely reek OOB but once in wax, are great.

ditto on the lime margarita Their blackberry mixed with their gin martini is also incredible. Last time I looked they still have the proportions listed. Sounds like I'm ready for a drink. edited to add: Icecap is great if you don't aleady have a sinus relief type scent.

If you want to go the hot glue, make sure you get the ones marked "high temp." You can also get some great silicone type sealer from the hardware store that works great. The tab will never come off with that stuff.

Yes, if you request them. Never been in a situation where I forgot to request, but suspect she would anyway. She's got to be the most generous supplier out there, IMO. Edited to add: P.S. - I'm soo with you on the buttery brown sugar. This has to be my fav from JS. Her new Angel Food Cake is incredible, too.

WNW's creme brulee in soy candles. LOL, runner up - Berry Bundt Cake, I guess Heartfelts or whoever took over for ASS. Gotta love shorthand.

For the plain ole honey, Royal Aromatics' Honeycomb is awesome in soy Lonestar's Iced Tea smells like the BBW you mention (as well as the Nestea/Lipton with lemon ice tea mix. LOL, I've gone nuts since BBW got a web site. HTH.

Lebermuth carries the Rice Milk. Smells like Yank's to me. I got mine when ICS was distributing for them. ICS is still stocking some of their oils so you may want to check if they still have it.

Raw Silk. Wish someone could dupe this - the scent of standing next to a Tommy Bahama clothes rack. Love that smell.

Just an OOB, but the Electric Watermelon Tini smells exquisite - worth a try if looking for a strong, fruity instead of candy, watermelon type.

JMO, but in soy, I was very disappointed with the violet dipped chiffon cakes. The strength was okay, but didn't wow me, even at 10%; but it's the scent that I found disappointing - reminded me way too much of the baby powder scent that so many supplies have. The name just doesn't fit the scent, IMO.

In soy, Tradewind's beats all those named so far in strength and yummyness.

Willow Woods has a good one. Here's the link - http://www.2wwoods.com/disfragoils.html

The responding fast - that was pure coincidence - promise! On the CCP - I down right hate coconut, myself, but this CCP is something else. If you have a sweet tooth or have a thing for vanillas or Creme Brulees, do not deprive yourself of a sample of this:drool: if you make candles (it's not body safe).

If you make candles, they have the absolutely best coconut cream pie. Yes, markedly better than NG, KY, JS and most definitely Snowtops's, so now ICS's, and a few others not worth remembering. Other greats, off the top of my head (and you will want to cut back because they are powerful): Christmas Tree Emerald Seas Coco Lime HTHs some

Very true, put the operative word in her request that had me respond was "primitive." It won't get more primitive than this:highfive: Plus, it makes for great rainy day fun with the kids.

You carve it up - kind of like whittling. Seriously, I remember doing this as a kid. Because of the tecture, you can get a really neat print. - try for instance, making a heart: make a paper stencil of heart. cut the top of a potato so you have a flat surface. Using the paper stencil, trace it on the potato. With a small paring knife, cut away the perimeter of the shape so the shape is about 1/2 inch over the rest of potato. Voila, primitive stamp. Of course, you've only got so long to use it before it rots, but it's way cool if you're wanting to get that sponge-pressed look. Great fun for the kids in your life too.

Just a thought but since you're going for the primitive look, you could design your own stamps using potatos. I just de ja vu'd on doing this as a kid when I saw your post. Of course, the potato is perishable, but it would be kind of fun to fool around with if you're like me and need instant gratification.
