Trappeur Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Don't get me wrong I like the scent....it smells good and I do think it smells like a Christmas Tree........I just don't know if they are different enough to both have in my candle line. I sell lots of Mistletoe so not dropping it. If I stuck with the name Christmas Tree or maybe something with Balsam that would work to keep both. I also poured Fillmore's Clove...it's a nice scent OOB.....I currently uses Peak's which is definitely heavier but I kind of like Fillmore's better....will have to see how it throws and if it's as big of a pain to wick as Peak's.....wouldn't mind one that I could use a smaller wick in.Blt, they are definitely not the same scent or even close (that's me). Christmas tree is really Balsam Fir and that is what I name that scent all year round. Mistletoe is a wonderful wonderful seller for me, but I don't like it (undoubtedly because of the eucalyptis in it) That clove sounds great..I need to get more of the Balsam Fir and order some more oils....

Trappeur Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Candybee, would you be able to compare CC's Winter Woodlands Whisper to Fillmore's Christmas Tree? Are they close in scent? Thanks.Hi Babudust, I'm not Candybee and I don't think she responded to your question yet, but I have tried CC winter wonderland and I got no throw in the wax. Out of the bottle it doesn't smell anything like Fillmore's Christmas tree. They are both 2 different scents. And I love CC and thought it was odd it wouldn't work for me.

puma52 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Oh my gosh.....you all talking about these scents! I have to order jars from Fillmore anyhow...might as well join the crowd! You all are AWESOME! Well, DANG!! I had my order all put in with one more scent to add....Pumpkin Spice Chutney...OUT....ackk...sent them an email to see when they will be getting back in stock. I did copy and post my order to myself on email so I know what all I wanted to order....I only want to pay one shipping fee. Seems to ME that there are several other folks out there like me who were ordering the Pumpkin Spice Chutney.....Anticipation...anticipation....they are making me wait... ....after reading the reviews on here..I am sure it will be worth the wait. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Candybee, would you be able to compare CC's Winter Woodlands Whisper to Fillmore's Christmas Tree? Are they close in scent? Thanks. I have never tried that FO from CC so I can't compare. I would trust Trappeur's nose and comments on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawnmichelle Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Christmas Tree from Fillmore -It is really Balsam Fir......I've been using this for over 10 years.....is very very beautiful and wonderful thrower.This was originally the Natural Artisans signature fragrance for years till she went out of business and sold out to Fillmore. It was originally named Balsam Fir and then Fillmore renamed to Christmas Tree.Note: Add Vanilla Voodoo to this and wow, what a beautiful scent! It's beautiful on it's own but takes on a softer sweet scent when I mix.....This is my most favorite pine scent even though I have other beautiful ones listed below...but it's my favorite and I rename...... Northwoods from Bittercreek NorthAnother nice pine scent.......Very strong Sugared Spruce from Candle Soylutions....Wonderful also.....Very strongI'm burning this right now.......love it! Christmas Hearth from Candle ScienceExtremely strong - I love this one....You can actually smell the fire going in the fireplace mixed in with the pine..... Scotch Pine from Candle ScienceA different take on pine.....very different and very strong.....I like this too Spruce Orchard from Lone StarTo me this is a sugared spruce....I love this one too and very strong Cinnamon and Balsam from PeaksI can't remember if I tried it....I believe I did and it did exceptionally well...... Spruceberry from PeaksI love this one! Christmas Tree or Balsam Fir from Community CandleGreat scent and thrower! All the fragrances I've listed above I've tested even with shorter time periods. I always wait a week to cure, but I can honestly say that all the scents are so strong I could burn in 2 days.......a couple even the next day......They are all so potent and you can't do wrong with any of these fragrances in my opinion. SCENTS I DON'T CARE FOR THAT I HAVE TRIED THAT DID NOT GIVE OUT THROWS FOR ME AND I USE GB464Mistletoe from Candle ScienceI just don't care for this scent at all and most everyone will tell you that it is a #1 Top Fragrance.I think for the holidays the name Mistletoe sells in just about everything. Spruce Xmas Tree from PeaksI got no throwMost will tell you it is a top favorite here...but I couldn't get it to throw....I need to retry and maybe up a little percentage...I always use 6%, but maybe I need more?. Winter Wonderland from PeaksA very very faint throw...it's somewhat nice - but doesn't turn my head Frasier Fir from PeaksAs much as I like Frasier Fir and I really wanted this one to work, it just didn't for me at all......I could hardly smell anything Winter Woodlands Whisper from Candle CocoonNo throw for me and that is so odd................as I love all Lyschels scents pretty much and they all sure do throw......I love the name though! Christmas Tree from Candle ScienceNothing special..... Frosty Pine Cones from Candle ScienceI'm testing that this week. Can you tell I'm into Pines? lol One thing I've wanted to try is a Pinion Pine....Sounds Different....Haven't found one. Trappeur Can I ask how much V Voodoo do you add? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
