Balsam Fir from Flaming Candle

[ChrisR]

Has anyone compared Flaming Candle's Balsam Fir to SW's Canadian Balsam?  I need to find a replacement by next holiday season.

Flaming Candle's Balsam Fir, I believe, is meant to be a dupe of Yankee Candle fragrance. 

Scents I have used that come close to SW's Canadian Balsam are:

Rustic Escentuals:

Alaskan Wilderness - scent description "This brisk, evergreen scent captures a pure forest morning, complete with pine needles underfoot and a clear mountain stream nearby. Sure to awaken your inner lumberjack."
Frosty Pines - scent description - This one specifically mentions Canada. "This is not a typical pine-type scent - it's so much more complex! A snowy covered Canadian pine with camphoraceous notes of rosemary and vetiver, spiced bay, leather nuances, and a woody/musky base of cedar, sandalwood, Canadian Spruce, Douglas Fir Needle, cypress, balsam pine and woody orris."

Thanks AL83, but I've tried those and neither are even close to my nose.

Oh strange. I've been using Frosty Pine & Alaskan Wilderness mixed together as my replacement for SW's pine that I used to sell with no complaints and seems similar to my nose. Sorry for the misdirection.

No problems, every nose smells differently.

Those 2 sound amazing.  I'm going to try them and get an order going after the holidays are over.

 

The Balsam Fir from Flaming didn't do much for me.  I found the scent weak.  I hate to say anything negative about Flaming because they are an awesome company to order from and I just love them....but it is what it is....

Thanks Trappeur for the feedback.  I went ahead and ordered some to test, I've got to find one that's close.
