Candle guy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hey everyone, I am interested in knowing which pumpkin fragrance everyone likes best. I have used cs pumpkin pie and soufflé. Both of these are great in my Imo but having both mixed together would be perfect. I have tried that mixture before and it kind of works but I am looking for something that has it all. I am really excited to see who uses what. I use 4627, 4630, Clarus 3022 and have 6006 on stand by. I even have some 464 left over but I hate the frosting. Any suggestions?

Trappeur Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 This is a subject that there are so many posts on and everyone has what works best for them. I had been looking for years for that perfect pumpkin pie and came up with a combo that to me is what I've been looking for. I wanted to smell that ultimate pumpkin pie that came right out of the oven (like we all do..lol). i wanted to smell the pie crust and most fragrances were lacking that. I made a candle for a friend of mine a year ago in an 8" round crock (a biggun!) I'm usually at my friends house every 2 weeks and she still has this crock sitting out (uncovered) and she hasn't burned it in quite a while and I can still get very strong whiffs of this scent when I walk by (unbelievable). Here is my combo in case you want to try it. (Now I use 464).... I did this per 1 pound of wax - so this is the amount that adds up to 1 oz. .4 Pie crust (Ind.) .2 Pum pie (CS) .2 Pum souflee (TN) .2 Pump spice (TN) Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle guy Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Trappeur, Wow that's a lot of searching and testing lol. Why can't some scents just be simple lol? Candle science pumpkin soufflé I like but people complain of a burnt smell. Pumpkin pie from candle science is great but may be a bit too weak. Before I begin my quest of spending lots of money I wanted an idea on who has a good scent for pumpkin. I may have to mix a bunch like you have Trappeur. Thanks for your input. Curious to see what everyone does as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm not a big fan of pumpkin souffle..... but perhaps its because i dont like souffle all that much... or pumpkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hey Missy, Let us know if you do or don't care for it...you might not...lol....everyone has their own opinions. Actually Puma last year gave me suggestions of the different things she uses and I had to modify a couple of the fragrances as I thought I had what she suggested and I didn't.....lol - so I wound up doing about 5 different combinations and I kept tweeking them till I did this and was more than happy with it...so good luck! You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like...(Here's my smily face since I can't get it to down load....lol) Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 If there's enough interest, I would be happy to host a tart swap for pumpkins and maybe other fall/holiday fragrances. If submitting a pumpkin blend or any other proprietary blend I would ask that everyone include the recipe and the resources. Tarts only, and each sample would need to weigh an ounce or more. Wrapping the tart, if it doesn't already come in it's own container, would require that everyone use polypropylene bags to avoid ruining the tart before it's shipped. The bags are pretty inexpensive thru eBay. I live in the south and we will have temperatures between 85 and 105 the next few months. I can't recommend soy wax tarts because they might liquefy before I open the boxes. It's up to you to make sure your tarts will withstand the heat. I won't send out anything that arrives to me partially or fully melted. There will be some costs involved for shipping and each person will have to cover those costs. I don't have paypal, so I'll have to ask for a money order to be included in the box of tarts. Each person would be sending tarts for every person in the swap and we will decide in advance how many tarts we want to share. Those are just some preliminary thoughts. I will wait to see if there's at least 10 people wanting to participate. If someone with paypal is interested in hosting the swap, feel free to speak up. I am only offering to host it as a way to expose some of the newer members to different scents. Waiting for replies.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my it smells so good the pumpkin zucchini bread is good too . I didn't care for her gourmet sugar cookie -OOB is great but once cured is smells of buttered popcorn very weird. I also like her pink sugar . Wild berry Souflee - Another one i loved OOB + when i poured was very flat smelling + just ok she has a peach cobbler that smells delicious .... the toasted marshmallow was good but missing something - a little flat for me. overall great oils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would host but I'm so disorganized that I'm afraid I'd get everyone's stuff mixed up but I sure would like to participate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
