What vanilla do you like to use in blends?

[denetteb]

I am just wondering what you all use when you are adding vanilla to your scent blends.  Do you use a straight vanilla like CS Very Vanilla, or a vanilla variation like DS Marshmallow or AHRE Toasted Marshmallow, or do you use a vanilla bakery scent like Birthday Cake or Sugar Cookie?  Do you find that some vanillas are better for blending than others?  What do you like to use?  Do tell!

 I use CS very vanilla for blending and it works great, not too overpowering but doesn't disappear either.  I have RE toasted marshmallow but so far only used it straight up, no blends.

I really like using CS Vanilla Lace or French Vanilla for a vanilla mixer. Depends on what I am mixing. Now if I really want an ultra sweet vanilla bakery note in my blend then I use either Creme Brulee or Buttercream Frosting.

 

For example I love mixing Peaks Pure Peppermint with CS Buttercream for a Peppermint Cream.

Or Pure Peppermint, Cinnamon, and a touch of French Vanilla for Candy Cane.

 

Hmmmm... I should try mixing up some buttermints... any ideas for that?

I like CS Very Vanilla.  If also sometimes use TCS's Buttercream if I'm doing a bakery scent.
