Guest OldGlory Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I don't remember who I promised to sniff the Buttered Biscuit FO at Aztec, but I was just there Friday and oob sniff tested it. Now - I admittedly have serious candlenose, but if I'm right on top of the bottle I can usually smell the scent. Can't smell this one oob. I picked up something maybe buttery but not the biscuit part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I've been tesing that FO in candles and tarts and it is very buttery. Maybe a hint of biscuits. Today it started smelling like a weird cheesy scent after awhile. I'm going to mix it with a Strawberry jam FO and see if it's any better.Btw- its strong in soy wax candles and melts. At least for me. Edited November 12, 2012 by jackbenimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Good to know JBN. BCN has a killer Strawberry Jam, FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanie353 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I ordered it too but from the eBay lady. I was concerned it had to do with getting it on there so am glad to hear reports from the rest of you that OOB it is very, very weak. Did order Strawberry Jam on recommendation of JBN but didn't even want to try thinking the jam would be all that came through. I might get a chance to put it in wax this week to see how it does. I will be using CBL125 with 25% 415. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I also had the buttered biscuits, ended up throwing it away as I can't smell anything oob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Who's actually put it IN wax ( the one from Aztec ) ? (( paraffin )) I've thought about adding it to my " gotta get when I restock" list, but I'd loving hearing actual test results Thanks !

jackbenimble Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 To everyone that said they couldn't smell it OOB that wasn't the case for me. I could smell it right away. I must have got a good batch ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I'm getting a mild flour note and full on butter, slightly sweet. Smells more like pancakes, though it's very very mild. O well. NOTE: Haven't tried it in wax yet.I did find a company (Briar Patch Primitives) that has Buttermilk Biscuits FO but I'm pretty sure they're wholesale only. Anyone in the Minnesota area care to check? LOL. Here's their site. Ever order from them? http://www.bppwholesale.com/store/WsAncillary.asp?ID=1 Edited November 12, 2012 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I poured and HT testing tonight. Mine is not good at all. Its weak but in this case its a good thing. The fragrance is something resembling sour dough or sour milk. The bottle is going in the trash. Its not even suitable for melts or blending with jam.

rctfavr3 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I'm in the beginning stages of getting this duped and reformulated for better throw. I'll provide more info as soon as possible. Need to order more of the fragrance I don't have enough left to get it replicated.EDIT: OK so I'm looking at the price again and with shipping it's a bit much to order a single FO from the site (what can I say, I'm cheap) I have about 1/3 oz left of my FO but need at least a full oz to get it replicated. So, to anyone who hasn't yet poured their bottles down the sink (LOL) I'll be more than thrilled if you would care to donate some; in hopes of getting this reformulated. Thanks in Advance.

Lorelei Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It is just so hard to get real bread scent of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I agree Lorelei. The one's I've tried do not smell anything like bread to me.It might be subjective, we all have different ideas of what it should smell like. I just know when I walk in a store that has a Subway in it and they are baking bread, I could stay there all day long and just sniff LOL.But then again, every loaf I make at home, smells nothing like that but I love it too , so there ya go LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) SOS seems to be a good starting point for food scents, 'though their "fresh baked bread" FO is really crappy. Actually it's more cake-like. Far from accurate. I'm thinking of trying a 50/50 blend of their Rye Bread and Pretzel to see if that gets me closer to a sourdough like bread scent. From their I'll add the remainder of my Aztec's Fresh Buttered Biscuits and maybe even a bit of buttered popcorn to return some of those lost butter notes. Hope it will smell close to a buttermilk Biscuit. I'll update if it's any good.Does anyone have any leftover Aztec FO that they aren't using? For my blend to work I need at least a 1/2 ounce and would prefer not having to order more from their site. TIA.
