justajesuschick Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The pups woke me up and then I read this. Of course you made me go look and now there are a solid dozen or so that I want!I immediately had to go see if the Hot Maple Toddy was a Candleberry Candle type and it is. It was a favorite of mine in their cake melts before I started making melts myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Hi, I ordered some 1 ozers just before Xmas, the fragrances was ok. The best one for me was frosted cranberry and spiced sugar plum, I did get the blueberry pancakes but to me smells the same as everyone else's blueberry cheesecake/blueberry croissants (but that might just be me) the country britches is quite a light clean smell and chestnuts and brown sugar was ok. I also got the hazelnut creme brûlée and I didn't like this, French vanilla crunch didn't seem to have much smell oob or in my wax same as the double dip caramel.Overall I probably won't order again although as I said the spiced sugar plum and the frosted cranberry was the best I have tried.Hope this helped. Forgot to say this was in candles they might be better in melts. Edited January 27, 2013 by Joannec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenOH Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think Connie's is one of those suppliers that gets overlooked...her oils are great and wonderful customer service. I've used Willow Inn, Hot Maple Toddy, Pumpkin Brulee( my best seller for 2 yrs), Hazelnut Creme Brulee and Chestnuts & Brown Sugar with great results in 415.

FaithfulScenter Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here is my updated list, but I'm sure it will change again before I actually make the trip, and then will probably change again once I get there and start sniffing lolWillow InnSplinters and RagsPrimitive AngelsOld MemoriesMaple PecanHomespunHillbilly HomesteadCountry BritchesBlackberry Vanilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Could you remind me again when you are going? Trying to decide if I will wait for your "sniff report" or just order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, jumped in head first this morning before I head off to work. I'm a sucker for a good cranberry. Had to try the Old Memories, Hot Maple Toddy & a few others. If they're everything ones say they are...I know I'll head back for more wax & oil. The 3022 is expensive...I think this will be my own stash for "myself" candles. Is that greedy? Just sad, I know :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nope not at all! You found it, bought it, made it, and tested it, so it's your right to keep the best JaJC, I'm waiting to get confirmation from my sister, but will probably be leaving 3 weeks from today, hopefully nothing changes....

justajesuschick Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm drooling over General Store and Old Memories...so good.Please describe!!! Please?Getting ready to order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Sure, I'll try. One of those things when you know what you like. General Store is much different than the Gift Shop from KY(RE). Connie's you can smell cream soda coming thru, as well as anise/licorice...it works beautifully. I'm keeping that one. The other, Old Memories...hard to describe, but sweet spice & Hazelnut works. Not sickening. I did try the Maple Toddy & it is a dead on dupe of Candleberry - just like KY's Grandmother's Toddy is. Not really different. Cranberry was just a touch different than all the spiced cranberries I've tried, but you can definitely pick up a little extra nuance of something. It is very nice. Still quite tart, but nice.Hope that helps a little. I sure wish I would have found her earlier. Very nice lady. Am going back for more.

number2of7 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've tried quite a few of her oils, and while I do love them, most are suited better for b&b as they're too light in wax. These are too light in wax IMO:Cashmere Sage DevotedGreek IsleMahogany WoodsCupid / Sweet DreamsHillbilly HomesteadGeneral Store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Actually I used mine in tarts - the ones I poured are strong (for my application). I did see that a number of her oils are skin safe. :smiley2: Edited February 10, 2013 by marcuset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'll be butting mahogany woods in candles (blend) and soap this coming weekend, I hope. I'll be doing 6% in the candles and 3% in soap and will happily report back.I'm sad that Connie's isn't listed on the Scent Review Board for B&B/soap.
