I have been using MC Soywax Tulip for a few years now, love it. Nice mellow floral, slightly sweet and mediium strong. Makes a great perfume and soap too.

Hmm, figures - just made a slew of all the basic dupes for my new shop - Lovespell, Moonlight, Amber Romance, Pink Sugar and Tommy Girl, and noticing they aren't moving too fast. I LOVE Flowerbomb - haven't done the candles yet, but the perfume oil is fabulous. I don't usually like scents with vanilla (non-foodie here too) but a good amber scent is always nice in the winter and that has vanilla (real vanilla that is). I agree about the earthy scents. Having many more requests for Patchouli, Sandalwood, Dragon's Blood and Nag Champa then ever before. How about a Tyler Diva dupe ? Anyone here do that one, just heard that Starrville has a close one.

Darn it all - would have been good to have a back-up but SSoapers is almost out of biz now too. I bought up large containers of some of my favs from them - namely Amber Glow and Black Orchid - praying that someone buys their brand and continues with it. Not looking too promising right now. Sigh >>>Diva smells just like the Angel type I have from Southern Soapers<<<<

So glad I found this thread. I too have been looking for a dupe for Tylers Diva. A fellow shop owner sent me a small candle and the wash and I can see what all the hoopla is about. It is very addicting. That said - I certainly don't plan to pop for a 1,500.00 opening order so I can carry Tyler - when I figure I can come pretty close on my own. Everyone says Diva is chocolate - but I mainly smell Coconut in it. Nice blend though. I emailed Starrville after reading these posts and they too said Tuscan Garden is what people feel smells like it (they can't say it is of course). Now I guess I have to try the HM too after reading your descriptions. Thanks everybody !
