  1. Thank you Trappeur! The show is in Midtown Atlanta at the Shriners Temple. Actually a really cool place to have a fall market. No new fall scents this year. They all sell great so didn't need to make anything new. I'm sure next year I'll have some new scents next year.
  2. Is anyone else doing shows this weekend? If so good luck and I hope everyone has good sales! This is my small show display. My space is only 6x5! Lol! Ready with my fall candles!!
  3. I also went to the Facebook page and typed in the same website name and it is correct. Pam is the owner and said that it will take a few weeks to get them all in and listed. Hoping also they have their own Peak category so we know.
  4. I think this is the website. http://www.keystonecandlesupply.com/
  5. I puchased this sample too and I agree that it does have a strong clove note to it. I also only use clove as a mixer so I guess I need to test this Autumn Spice out.
  6. Try candle science's coridaner and tonka. It has all the notes your looking for and you could add cinnamon to it for that particular note.
  7. I'm interested in hearing about the Coconut Rum Cake and raw sugar and mint as well!!
  8. Holiday Sparkle is a grapefruit and balsam mix. There are some other notes in the description like apple cider and clove but I mainly smell grapefruit and balsam. It's my 2nd best seller during the holidays.
  9. I need Cranberry Apple Marmalade, Holiday Sparkle, German Chocolate Cake, Cinnamon Buns, Watermelon, Peach, Honeysuckle, Orange Blossoms I added them to the list below -Almond Pastry - not exactly the same, but try BB Almond Biscotti (possibly look at Candlewic's Anisette Cookies?) (Tri-State has a Baked Goods and a Primitive Pantry maybe to compare) (Fragrance Buddy has an Almond Macaroon that sounded vaguely familiar of Peak's description) -Amish Harvest- Rustic Escentuals has one by the same name (Also look at Celtic Spice from RE) NOTE: Flaming Candle carries one by the same name; Community Candle has one by the name and I think the description. -Banana Nut Bread-The one from Candle Science and Cajun are good replacements in my opinion. Also, Banana Walnut Cake from RE. (FB offers two, but maybe look at the MW type) -Birthday Cake - (Flaming has one, but no idea on comparison) Aztec's has a 5* review, Indiana Candle Supply has a 5* (RE lists two, both with 5* ratings) -Black Canyon - (Flaming Candle lists one, but I do not know how they compare) -Botanical Orchard and Nectar (Note to self to check out RE's Humingbird nectar to compare to this one) -Cedar (it didn't have a lot of wood tones to it, but was refreshing) -Cinnamon Balsam (There isn't a supplier carrying this. RE's Cinnamon Spruce will be the closest to something, but have not tried.) -Cinnamon Buns -Cookie Cottage - smells identical to RE Grandma's Cupboard (KY) -Cookies for Santa - BCN has one with the same name, but not sure if they are similar. If they are not, please delete this rec. -Cranberry Apple Marmalade -Eucalyptus Leaf - (Note to self: Cierra has one by name) -Fresh Baked Pie Crust (RE carries a Pie Crust with a 5* rating off 3 reviews) (Community Candle offers a pie crust) -Freshed Brewed Coffee - Aztec's Coffee is nice (RE has a 5* Coffee House with 11 reviews) -Fruit Slices -Fudge Brownie (Cierra Candles lists a chocolate brownie with 5* off three reviews...read the reviews) -German Chocolate Cake -Green Clover & Aloe (RE has a Clover Fields & Aloe that might be similar) -Holiday Sparkle -Home for the Holidays (Tri-State offers one, but the description says sweet and I don't think Peak's was) -Honeysuckle -Lavender -Leather - Texas Candle Supply, Lonestar were some suggestions (Flaming is carrying a genuine leather ... do not know how they compare.) -Lemon Pound Cake -Candle Science version smells very close OOB. Have not put it in wax. - RE Lemon Sugar Bundt Cake (Flaming has one too) (Aztec's has a 5* review) - Lilac - Candle Cocoon had a nice one that wasn't too floral to someone. (Aztec's has a 5* rating) Fragrance Buddy's Lemon Pound cake is good! -Mountain Lake -Ocean - Cierra Candles has one named this. -Olde Towne Bake Shoppe (Possibly look at Cookie Kitchen at Fragrance Buddy) -Orange Blossoms -Orange Chiffon Cake - RE Orange Chiffon Cake (KY) smells the same to me, both in tarts and OOB (Aztec has one 5* w/ 5 reviews) (ICS has one with a 5* rating) RE carries KY's version -Paris Twilight (Any chance this is Paris Nights type? If so, RE has the PN) -Patchouli -Peach -Pear Spice (Flaming has one but don't know how it would compare. Community Candle offers a spicy pear, but don't know the comparison) -Pumpkin Honey Chai -Purely Peppermint - Flamings "North Pole" -Red Clove -Rose Bouquet - (It isn't the RB, but a nice replacement, though not soap friendly that I recall, is Briar Rose from Candlewic. Also a Fresh Cut Roses from there, Yankee type -- Aztec has a fresh cut rose with a reviewer swearing it's like a rose cut from her garden ... the FO has a 4 1/2* rating) RE has a Rose Petals w/ a 5* rating off 3 reviews maybe take a look at the 4* rustic rose - Sage & Lemongrass - Community Candle carries a lemongrass & sage. Candlewic's Lemongrass & Sage is good. -Sea Salt & Cocoa Bean -Spiced Cranberry (ICS offers one with 5* rating) Community Candle has this on their list. -Spruce Christmas Tree - Flaming's Spruce, Candle Science's Blue Spruce -Sweet Pumpkin Spice -Tuscan Nights -Twilight Woods-samples ordered from Cierra and Lonestar (Flaming and NG both carry this) -Vanilla Bean Nectarine -Vermont Honey Apple BBW type (Aztec has a 5* review) -Watermelon -Wild Mountain Honey - TT - I use the one from Brambleberry (Flaming has one by the same name) (RE has one called honey bee) (FB has one) -Wild Raspberry -Wildberry Musk -Winter Wonderland (Has anyone tried Flaming's?) (RE has one that I think description was close to what Peak's had.) Cierra Candle has one by the name also.
  10. OMG! I just now am in the loop! DAMN! Several of my bestselling blends I use Peak. So what do I do list put my scents in the list alphabetically?
  11. Hi There! I need advice on the pricing aspect of creating a custom candle scent for a business. What do you charge for your time? A flat fee? What minimuns do you require? I had planned on them paying for the roll of labels including all shipping and designing charges as well as any costs to purchase samples. Any advice from anyone that has ever done any custom work? Thank you for the help!
  12. PF's T & T is from Candle Science I believe. It's Caribbean Teakwood. A few of their best sellers are from CS as well. If you read the descriptions on their site you can match up the scent on CS website.
  13. I just poured a tester of MC's Tobbaco flower and hoping it has a good HT. It's definitely more green than the typical tobacco you get at other suppliers. I want to use the MC version in a floral blend and maybe this will be a better choice. Will let you know my results in a couple of weeks.
  14. Thank you!! That's what my designer said. Glad I listened!
  15. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you! I did change my labels. All custom. No more tags! Yay! I hired a professional photographer and product stylist to do all my new product shots. They turned out amazing!! Thank you so much!
  16. Good Morning!! I haven't been here in awhile but wanted to share my new logo and spring display. I'm just so proud how everything has come to together. It only took 7 years!! Lol!
  17. Thanks! I've ordered Aruba Coconut from Peaks. Hoping it is at least a medium HT. Thank you for the recommendation.
  18. I messaged them when I discovered this and they said that it was specially formulated for them so basically no. I did formally put in a request to bring it back.
  19. Thank you moonshine! That does help. I use it in a blend and folks seem to be ok with the suntan notes. I'll definitely try it
  20. Hi guys! Recently candle science discontinued their island coconut fragrance oil. Now I need a new coconut fragrance oil to replace it. I use 464 soy wax so please suggest oils that would work with soy. Thank you so much for your help.
  21. Thank you! I'll make videos again soon. Those are the LS Country comfort 10oz jars with a brushed metal lid Thank you! Please do ;-)
