Faerywren Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This combo sounds nice. I'm living under a rock, too, because I've not heard of Serendipity before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babudust Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I actually have CC and JS versions of the fragrance both are nice but totally different in scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebeesknees Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The other day I did a search to see what FO are the same from different companies and in there someone said that JS Serendipity was the same as BCN Cupid. Here is the link for BCN Cupid. It sounds yummy! http://cart.candlesupply.com/Cupid-Bubbles-n-Lights-pr-20095.html#.UOL5TkLXeRI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) So it smells like Jergens lotion used to? I've never tried that oil. Edited January 1, 2013 by marcuset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmhoneybear Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I'm really wanting to find this Serendipity FO, too. Cupid (BNL) - This one is a must-smell! It's a rich, cherry almond coconuty scent! It's awesome in a candle, soaps and B&B products! It's such a soothing, comforting fragrance. I find myself slathering on the bath and body products with this fragrance in the winter. I just love it and know you will too! Many of our customers tell us it reminds them of that comforting scent of Original Jergen's lotion. JS Serendipity - This is a super sweet concoction that will totally win you over! Sweet, thick, creamy vanilla with confectioners sugar sweet cherry, sweet orange citrus and the tiniest amount of yummy fresh coconut. This is a rich and wonderfully decadent sinfully sweet delight! Excellent in soy and bath and body safe! 200 FP.The "almond" note in the BCN/BNL scent description has me thrown off. Also, it doesn't mention the orange/citrus at all. I am so curious that I may have to get samples of each to try for myself. I'm not sure I can wait to hear Leisa's results. :-) Edited January 1, 2013 by nmhoneybear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almond has a slight wood note, but it's mostly indistinguishable from Cherry. Edited January 2, 2013 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks to this discussion, I bought an oz of this FO off of Etsy & I'm 99.9% sure it's the one from JS based on descriptions. I made a tart from it & to me it smells like cherry pipe tobacco. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyv Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) I wonder if it's the same one I ordered from The Scent Bean years ago. It was a really great scent and sold well. Edited January 7, 2013 by Babyv sp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmhoneybear Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm not looking for cherry pipe tobacco either. I have smelled Serendipity from vendors and it's a cherry, vanilla, and coconut scent. Sniffing a tart right now! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I got my order in last week of the Bubbles N Lights (BCN) FO of Cupid and made a few tarts last Saturday and melted one this morning and to me its dead-on with the Serendipty scent that I got in a tart from a vendor. Thats a decent price per lb. ETA: ICS is now carrying Serendipity and the description states a almond note as well.

thebeesknees Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I just poured Bubbles N Lights BCN Cupid last week as well. My 7 year old smelled it and said, "Oh, it smells like playdough." It throws well in 444 if anyone is curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctfavr3 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I just got this in and it smells like maraschino cherries and coconut.SOS has one too. Says it's almond liqueur. The description also mentioned fig. I haven't tried it yet. Edited February 4, 2013 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I just got this in and it smells like maraschino cherries and coconut.This sounds like it might be workable. Maybe a little vanilla to get all three scents?Not even 3 hours ago, I just ordered cherry and coconut to try to make my own blend. Am going to try CC VV that I have here for the vanilla part.

ChrisR Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Go real easy on the Vanilla Voodoo Jeanie as it is very strong and will overpower your other scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisa2003 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Its driving me nuts, different vendors Serendipitys are different. CC's is different and has a TM, and other suppliers have Serendipity with a little different descriptions. Ahhhhh well.

Darbla Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think I'm going to mix some coconut cream pie and creamsicle FOs with Candlewic "Black Cherry" and see what I come up with. Oh, and a dab of "Vanilla Voodoo" since that was mentioned above. I haven't been blazing through any of those bottles of FO I have so this might help me use them up.

Darbla Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So it smells like Jergens lotion used to? I've never tried that oil.If it smells like Jergens lotion I want nothing to do with it! Yuck. I think people gravitate to things like that not because they smell particularly good, but because of nostalgia. That Rosemilk lotion my mom used to keep around was pretty horrid too.
