I like BCS Funnel Cake
-
I agree - that does sound like had you not called, you'd still be waiting for an unknown amount of time. There was another thread about BCN customer service issues...the BCN owner wanted to be alerted to the problems ... I think contact info was posted in the thread. If I can locate it, I will email/pmail it to you

They are definitely not same day shipping. In fact - their site says it upfront: Current average order processing time: 2-3 business days
-
I should be ashamed for not giving CCS a try. They're only 2 hours away from me, shipping would be so freaking fast. :slaps forehead: Duh!
Yes, and they are the original Alabaster oils - excellent FOs!

BCN
BCS
Community Candle Supply

NG has them!? That's great, thank you!
-
It's more everything! Love it! It is much stronger chili pepper than I've ever smelled in Sweet Orange Chili Pepper. I'd say the chili dominates over the orange.
Wow, Beth! I don't seem to get the chili more than the orange when I sniff it (and if I recall NG's correctly, I think I did get that "zap" of powdery chili spice heat from theirs)...
But yes, I really like this CS, Iron. It's juicy, sort of with the sweet spray of peel coming off the orange (but not a sour rind smell at all). Fresh, good. Get you some!! :-)

I found the one at Element's, but they seemed small!
Does anyone know where to buy large (hand sized) "Cameo" molds?
Thank you!

I love cs. There are many I have not tried and quite a few I have. I would like to start a review of their scents in three words or less...here goes mine!
Green tea lemongrass-weak, blah, lemony
Rainwater - lily, fresh, spring
Cool citrus basil - soapy, floral, lemony
Apple harvest - fall, spice, true
Brandied pears - sweet, weird, oaky
Chardonnay - fake, grapey, ugh
Beach linen - cotton, fresh, clean
Pecan pie - weird, weak, nutty
Vanilla hazelnut - nutella meets vanilla!
Violet lime - sweet, strong floral
Rosemary - resinous, woodsy, heavy
Scotch pine - fresh, resinous
Lavender - nice, powdery, mixer
Lime cooler - blah, fake sweet
Lemon verbena - lemony pledge, herbal
Coffee - chocolate, rich

fig tree - men;s after shave splash
rainwater - very light - china rain/feminine
lemon verbena - furniture polish
lemon chiffon - cinnamon and lemon pledge
peach nectar - thick, rich, rotten
-
I really love BCN Butter Rum Allspice. I don't get rum or spice from it though - but it's good to my nose...
-
I have samples of BCS and Community Candle Supply.
OOB - both are fresh, true to name, strong.
-
I don't have a name for you but had to comment.
when I saw the title in this post I thought you wanted to rename "laughing my A** off" (LMAO) made me LMAO when I read the rest if the post.
LOL! LMAO too. haha
Thanks for the popsicle name suggestions. That type of thing is what it makes me think of.
I really like Farmer's Market too! Will read that thread now. Thanks, everyone!
-
Can anyone help me think of a rename for Lick Me All Over?
I brought a one-ouncer to work and had a few people it and tell me what they thought and they all said "Flowers". I thanked them for their feedback but it just doesn't work for me. :tiptoe:
It's fruity and sweet to my nose, but I just can't think of anything.... thanks!
-
I remember the spiders were GINORMOUS and they would completely web us into our house so we couldn't go out the doors until one of use mustered the courage to open a door and throw a broom through the center of the web, screaming the entire time.
OMG!!
*faint*
-
CCS's oils are so good! When I got my samples, I was fully confident that they really were the same AB oils, relief!
-
Last I checked, BCN offered both an Irish Cream and Irish Mocha.
I believe BCS has either one or both as well.
If I were looking for this scent, I'd probably try to the Wildfire Creations mentioned above - it sounds great!
-
Though I have only sniffed this OOB, I really like BCN's (the newer FBB not the older one). To my nose, it smells like the yeast rolls they have at the Roadhouse Grille.
BCS also offers the FBB and I think it is the same scent or extremely close.
-
try Kudzu from CCS
-
I just noticed today that Tangerine Dreams is back at Community. happy~
-
how awesome is that! Thank you for sharing.
I will be eagerly seeking out the Kiwi Kicker and Osmanthus.
-
This is an FO I have never heard of, but after reading this thread, I would like to buy a pound!
-
Thanks.
I have seen Sweet Cakes mentioned on this board in the past, but have never tried them. Hm. So if I got a sample of their fig, are there other FOs I should try out? I'm a sucker for trying new ones...
-
Oh, you are SO kind for offering to do that, but I don't want to trouble you!
I haven't tried MW's Sweet Fig, but I actually have to place an order for a few pound bottles from her soon anyway - so I will certainly get a sample in my order.
Thanks so much for the suggestion and the offer to help me! :smiley2:
-
I have been asked to make a plain Fig candle/tart for my dear friend's sister.
I see that many suppliers offer fig, but is there a real "oh yeah - that's FIG!" fig FO out there? (The BCN I have isn't true to my nose...)
Thanks

I don't know of this BBW, but I will suggest CCS's Tangerine Dreams. If you remember Alabaster's Tangerine Dreams, its the same one.
