So I stopped in today and she is in fact is going to be carrying Peaks oils. I'm so glad, as I was panicking for some of Peaks I can't live without. Like I said she has a lot of great oils that I myself use in our products. I picked up more Blueberry Cobbler today, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Candy Corn and Sweet Vanilla Pumpkin Pie.

She has some great oils, I haven't tried them all but some are top sellers for me. Blueberry Cobbler is one of my top 5 sellers all year. She also has a sweet pumpkin I sell a lot of.

Yeah Moonshine\, the throw was there but it was very hard to work with. You can't break it neatly at all.

Yep, that's the correct place Jack! If you try her oils definitely try the Blueberry Cobbler, it's amazing and a big seller for me.

This is wonderful new!!

So I was able to run a couple tests on the new Q230 wax that's supposed to be the replacement for Ecosoya PB. It failed tremendously in my book. On the good side, it did look beautiful and there was no frosting what so ever, but....it failed for me in other ways. As you can see from the pics and hopefully I'm able to load a video, you can see its rubbery texture. It didn't break with a snapping clean break like I'm used to. It actually bent and tore like it was rubber. It wouldn't even break with nice smooth edges. In my opinion this company made a very poor business decision because I don't plan on using any of their wax from what I'v experienced from my own tests. Sorry Ecosoya PB, I'm moving on to another company. Not able to upload a video so if you want to see the video you can email me and I will send it to you airyacrestables@dejazzd.com

So I tested The Candle Source PPW and it was terribly week in my wax. As of now FB has been the top thrower for me.

So after trying so many different samples I finally found Peaks coffee replacement! I'm going with RE Coffee House! Now onto the next replacement.

I just ordered a bunch of samples from The Candle Source and PPW was one of them, so I will be pouring a couple testers and compare it to FB. So far I tested FB, and MS with FB throwing better for me. As for the Spicy Apples & Peaches I found RE to be the closest to TCS yet, but still searching for that one also.

I talked to Keith at Fillmore and he's going to try to have his company dupe Peaks Amish Harvest from a sample I'm sending them. I have my fingers crossed that they can get this one as good as Peaks. I'm thrilled that they're doing this for us, I have been hitting dead ends trying to get this scent before I run out.

I too just ran out of the red clove, so I ordered a bunch of samples from suppliers and only found one that I think I'm going to settle with. I only used the red clove as a mixer other than special orders for just the clove. RE has one called autumn spice, and that's the one I'm using it place of the red clove. It's very spicy and I get a lot of clove in it. Hope that helps.

That's just sad...

Yep Moonstar it does pass as a cookie. It wasn't selling as Van Butter Fudge so I changed the name and it sells very well.

I tested that from Wholesale Supplies, Fragrance Buddy and Maple Street. None of them were as good as TCS, but FB was the closest so I went with that one in my C3. Please let us know your test results, I'm super curious too :-)

Rustic Lodge is a big seller for me in the fall. I'm thinking about using their Spicy Apples & Peaches since I'm soon to run out of TCS. I sell and love their Vanilla Butter Fudge, but I call it Vanilla Butter Cookie.

I get mine from RE. It's a great thrower in my soy wax.

Love the Chestnuts n Brown Sugar! Huge seller for me along with JS Caramel Cinnamon Latte.

The Frasier Fir I get is from CS, very strong and a super thrower in my products.

Thanks so much I will be ordering samples in the following to hopefully replace some from TCS & Peaks. I'm hoping Coffee House can replace my Fresh Brewed Coffee from Peaks and the Celtic Moonspice for my Amish Harvest. Now to find Buttercream and Spicy Apples & Peashes to replace TSC. I only have like a pound of each. I did get FB & RE Spicy Apples & Peaches and RE was by far stronger. Thanks again for the suggestions. As for the Birthday Cake I will probably just discontinue that one for now.

Do you think the Celtic Moonspice smells like Amish Harvest?

Thanks for some of the great suggestions, I'm holding off placing an order hoping to get some more recommendations.

I switched to FB for my PPW, that's the closest one I found so far to TCS.

Rustic Essentials is having their $1 scent sale so I'm in search of some good ones to try. Anyone have any good recommendations? I'm looking for a few replacements from TCS & Peak closing.

I order from at least 8 different suppliers, with top sellers from all of them. So I wouldn't just want to say one is better than the other. I do recommend having a few suppliers in case one closes. Then you're left scrambling looking for replacements. You can order 5, 1oz sample bottles of the same scent from 5 different suppliers and I guarantee you will have 5 different results.

I used to get my Patchouli from Moonworks and now since they closed I get it from FB. That's the closest one I could find that doesnt smell perfumy.
