I was wondering if anyone could help me with renaming these scents. The scent description for the sugar corn pudding is: notes of fresh corn, butter, creamy milk and sugar. I absolutely love this smell but the name, not so much. I am also trying to rename my wildberry mousse and zucchini bread. The W.B.M. (CS) does really smell like its name but I am looking to find something a bit more creative. The zucchini bread (KY- one of my favs) smells sooo good but not sure that it smells like zucchini bread, definitely bakery but ??? TIA

I wish I could help, I love this scent as well but haven't found anything that has it all yet. Bcn mulled cider is pretty close if you mix it with grandma's kitchen but there is still just a little something missing that I can't put my finger on. I also wish I could find a dupe for their juicy peach, praline caramel sticky buns and their banana nut bread - not having a lot of luck on these scents either. I suppose maybe we should put this thread in the fragrance section but I'm not quite sure how.

I would really like to know what the consensus is as well. Just to have some sort of "measuring stick" to make sure my tarts are cutting the mustard. I am really critical of my products, always wanting to make sure that I am only putting out my very best so to have a general guideline to judge my stuff by (without having to buy ton of competetors products) would be a great asset.

I too can smell the nutmeg in bcn's creme brulee, but I have to say I think it smells really good oob (haven't put it in my wax yet). I did just pour KY's and have it test burning right now and it is so awesome! If you haven't tried this one yet it is definately worth a shot.

Keep me posted! I am anxious to see how it does for you. Any idea on what type of wax they are using?

I think it is called sea salt and driftwood. I really don't care for the fragrance but the throw is crazy. I haven't tried any other scents so maybe this one particular fragrance is just super strong and binds better with the wax to get it to throw so well and last so long. It's the long lasting throw that is really making me frustrated with my own tarts so that's why I am so curious about these. I use a blend of 4794 and 4786 along with fo from bc, cs, and mc. They have a really great hot throw but only for about 8-10 hours of continous melt and then they go downhill from there pretty quicky. If anyone has any suggestions that they think would help I would soooo appreciate it.

Thanks for the link, I will have to give them a try

Your husband sounds as funny as mine His response any candle question I pose to him is "maple syrup" LOL I love JS nana's Apple butter but am always on the prowl for anything new and/better. I am not familiar with starrville, is the cinnamon Apple butter a fo from them or a pre-made candle?

Well, if they are keeping the secret "recipe" at the keebler mansion I am going to have to send out a search party to hunt down that darn tree (hee hee). Thank God for laughter, its the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes in this business : ) Moonshine- whatever good Intel you can find would be much appreciated. I hate it when I find a product that I can't make myself that's just as good or better, (especially when it comes from the big fish) lol I know it's a strong fragrance but it is going on 29 hours now, on the whole time, and I can still smell it a little bit. Thanks for the help!

Good morning everyone! This weekend I was at my friends house and she had a partying melt going and it was really nice and super strong so I took some home to test in my house. It is called a scent plus melt and it throws like crazy and now I am trying to figure out what they use to make these. The wax is super super hard and almost chips off. I have very high ceilings in my house and an open concept so when I can get any melt to scent up my entire first floor I am very pleased but most only last about 6 hours with good throw. I have had this 1 cube going since yesterday morning (going on over 26 hours now) and I can still smell it albeit only in the kitchen, but wow. It also doesn't't have that "wax" smell that I can detect once melts start losing potency. Anyone out there have any thoughts or idea as to what these are made of or what additives could make a wax not only throw fragrance so well but retain it for so long as well?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check the forum to check out the reviews.

Thanks for the tip, how is the cold and hot throw? I have never ordered from them before, do they have any other scents that you would recommend?

Hi everyone! After about nine months of reading and trying to absorb as much as I can of everyone's awesome insight and knowledge in the fascinating world of candlemaking I figured it was time to try posting my very first question. I am currently making candles and tarts for myself and my family using 6006 as well as a straight parrafin (no additives) for mottled containers. I have a few fragrances that I have been searching for that I just can't seem to find. Right now the one that is really driving me crazy is an apple pie filling fo. One that smells like the rich warm filling instead of all of the hot baked Apple pie fo's out there that overwhelmingly smell like strong spices and Apple. I smelled a candle with this exact fragrance at kmart of all places but it was terrific. Any help would be much appreciated. :smiley2:
