I am bumping this post up as I’m *thinking* of having AFI dupe CS Cranberry Marmalade. It is my best selling fragrance and CS (damn) FO changes are gonna cause me to DRINK!  Wondering if anyone else has done this dupe peocess successfully. 

I noticed they have the duplication of CS Cranberry Marmalade listed on their site. Curious if anyone has tried it and if it is similar to the original cranberry marmalade?

I used to use Peak. It was similar to Circle E years ago when I was searching. Although I didn’t try every supplier. I think Keystone carries it. 

Candybee was it the Elements Olive Blossom? I loved that scent. I still have a small amount. Was hoping someone would have that scent again. One of my favorite fragrances. 

I would love to know if anyone finds one close to this. It was a favorite of mine. 

I like their pumpkin spice latte. It sells well for me.

I have also tried candle science's rain water but not exact the same either. These two both had a fresher clean note to it wit a hint of floral. Not over powering though.

Yes. I do have that one. I like it but it's not quite the same. The floral muse and elements olive blossom had a softer maybe slightly sweeter smell. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Anyone know of anything that smells similar to her floral muse? I used to use elements olive blossom and when they discontinued that I tried to fill the void with MW floral muse. Now I need to find someone else that is similar. Doesn't look like pure fragrance oils is going to carry this one.

I have never tried the hazelnut coffee but really like the gingerbread latte. It's nice and strong and yummy in my opinion. I don't use a 100% soy though. I use a soy blend with some paraffin.

I'll have to try your suggestion about painting them. I picked up a pack for personal use. My husband asked me to make something for his car.

I picked up a couple of things at Whole foods to play with. I'll just order some things from another supplier that carries Essential oils.

Thanks for trying! Texas Natural Supply is in Austin. Only about 3 hours away but shipping is kind of high for what I had in mind. I don't need much. Thought it was worth a try in case I missed something or was unaware of a good local source.

I have always made candles and haven't played around in the B&B field. I want to start experimenting and possibly making some Christmas gifts. I know there are a lot of good suppliers out there but for my learning purposes I was hoping to find a local resource to save on shipping charges and so forth. If anyone has any ideas if you can pick up some products like essential oils and some basic oils like soybean, jojoba, avocado etc. I would appreciate it. Thought about looking at whole foods but if they carry it- it may be more than buying from a supplier and paying shipping. I guess I would love any experienced feedback before I invest too much money. Thanks! I am thinking along the lines of bath salts, sugar scrubs etc.

The only one that I have tried off of your list is the Turkish Hazelnut coffee and it's yummy and strong!

They look very pretty!

I would love to find a duplication of Elements Olive Blossom. That has sold so well for me. I ordered and have used the Floral Muse from Moonworks. While it's nice and similar it's not quite the same.

Bumping this up because I am curious too:smiley2:

I have this one and use it and I really like it. I agree it's more pinapple than cilantro. I use a parasoy blend as well.

Great!

Thanks for the reply. Guess the name is fitting then right :-) I'll probably add this one to my sample box as I have been curious about it!

I am in love with The Candle Shop FO, haven't tried any others but I to try

the Bodacious Blackberry & Back Porch & Primitive

Gatherings.

What does the candle shop Fo smell like? That one has me curious but wasn't sure what it would really smell like.

Bumping this up to see if anyone else has tried some of these.

If anyone ordered the cinnamon pumpkin bread I'd be interested in hearing what you think. I am still on the hunt for a must have pumpkin scent.

Thanks. I did find the other thread after I posted this!

Anyone ever find out what is going on. I originally thought they were relocating to but it seems weird and I haven't been able to reach them.

I sent Rhonda an email Sunday thinking I would hear back Monday or Tuesday. Haven't heard anything and still no oil. Sounds like it's good. I would just like to get my pre-buy now :-(
