justajesuschick Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I REALLY want to try their Spicy Apples and Peaches and thought about seeing if they have VBN although I really do not want to order a pound. I also hesitate to love some FO's that I may be at risk of getting.I read that JS has a good VBN. Do you agree? Others I should try?Thanks!

moonshine Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 would that be vanilla bean noel? if so the best I have found so far is WSP- pricey and a lot of people don't like buying from them but this is one of the few I do- I Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justajesuschick Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I also tossed a 1 ouncer of Mrs. Claus' Cookies in my cart at NG yesterday since I was ordering some others there. Said it was similar to VBN. Thought I'd try it whether it is or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I found this somewhere here and copied it. I've never tried this combo out to be sure. LS- Vanilla Bean / Peaks- Sugar Cookie 50/50 mix - close dupe to Vanilla Bean Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have never tried the original VBN but I do have NG's Mrs. Claus Cookies AND their Vanilla Bean and they both are great sellers. Mrs. Claus Cookies is to die for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I haven't tried it. Mrs.Claus Cookies smells exactly like vanilla bean with sugar cookie mixed. It's really awesome. I actually need to pour some melts today because I have customers begging for it. lol. I ran out over the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because I have used their VBN in lotion and perfume sprays and it is AWESOME, but it is such a thick and heavy FO that I have wondered how well it mixed with wax. I am fairly new to working with wax (making melts for now, but hoping to start candles soon) but have heard that heavy FOs can be hard to fully incorporate into the wax.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Same a moonshine...You add the fo. while the wax is hot..so if you stir really well, it will totally incorporate into the wax..I stir for 3 min..then while the wax is in the pot cooling down to pour temp, i stir again every so often..just for good measure..lol Edited January 12, 2013 by 8-GRAN-ONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 When I smell the original VBN from B&BW I get a hint of toasted marshmallow (I wear the lotion every day so I smell it a lot), so maybe adding a touch of that would help if you want to blend your own. I use VBN from JS and to my nose it is identical to the original. I have also tried the one from Tenn and I have used Tenn & JS interchangeably (sp?).
