gail164 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Forgot to mention that Cajun was the very first place I ordered from back in late 1998 or 1999........very good people to do business with. So I will definitely order a Creme Brulee sample from them. I order often from Bitter Creek North and Peak too. Never ordered from Alabaster before although I've always heard good things about them! So many candle supply places, so little time! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy63 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Whose creme brûlée have you tried? Cajun's is amazing and so is Mike's brûlée from Tyler Starville. They're the best I've found. I think Peak's gets good reviews on theirs too but I've never tried it in wax.Hope this helps!Belinda! Burning my Creme Brûlée as we speak and my entire house is full of the aroma! Thanks for the recommendation..fyi, I'm burning in an 8 oz Mason with 6006 and a 44-36-18 zinc wick! I waited a full week to burn (I know it should have been longer). I cant even fathom that more cure time could improve on this! Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Belinda Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You're so welcome and I'm so glad you like it! It really is a yummy scent. Happy New Year to you too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I've tried KY (now AHRE) and Steve's. They are almost identical to me OOB (strong alcohol note) but in wax, KY has more of a burnt note and a strong coffee-ish note that I don't like. I just put Creme Brulee from Candle Coccoon in wax. I only had a sample and granted it's about a year old but it doesn't smell anything like KY nor Steve's. It almost smells like a creamy vanilla. I just made some tarts with it so will see what I get.

Hey @CLVC, I was just reading some old threads and saw this one and wondered how you liked the cream brûlée from Cajuns? I hope it worked out for you!

LivInTX Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 After reading all these great reviews on Cajun Creme Brulee I decided to go ahead and another supplier on my list, and.... they are out of stock. That's 0 for 2 this week - tried to order Sweet Tooth from RE as there was also a post where it was highly recommend, and it too was out of stock. 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cream brûlée is to die for, when it's not going bad. I did have a bottle go bad on me and it smelled like stinky feet or something sour when it was melting. It only happened with one bottle I had and one that Daisey Mae sent me. Also, I think JS has sweet tooth too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know about shelf life on the creme brulee and I actually plan on trying JS's Sweet Tooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Never heard of Cajun Candles — but after this thread...I’m probably ordering from ANOTHER supplier 😂🙄 (🔫 me now). What are other favs from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like their banana nut bread and oatmeal raisin cookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are other favs from them... I just got a few in from them. I ordered some pina colada and it smells really good OOB. I was looking for something to replace Tennessee's and this one from Cajun smells great. I also got some more cream brûlée and banana nut bread. I think I like BNB from CS better but I'll have to do a side by side sniff and see but either way they're both good. I got a sample of orange cream cupcake which smells so good and hurricane daiquiri which also smells great OOB. Hope this helps! @Trappeur, thank you for the vote of confidence! I always look at your suggestions and haven't been disappointed in anything I've tried that you suggested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how they perform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 No I haven't tried the pina colada even though I have samples of it. I need to get in wax and think I will later on today. They don't smell that very potent out of the bottle and wasn't impressed so I'm sure that is why they are still in my cabinet. I'll let you know after I pour testers today.
