Trappeur Yes it was - several years ago I believe. I think I still have an old candle jar hid back somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is the same as the original version?Maybe Fragrance Buddy had AFI dupe this oil. I notice they have True Lavender on their site. Has anyone tried it to compare? I need a replacement for TCS's Love Spell too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Compare the IFRA between AFI and the original. That is a good starting point. I would call AFI for details to get it right from the horses mouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the IFRA on the original version. I will add it to my next FB order to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I found FB's IFRA carts are largely different for all of their fragrances, which makes sense because she dupes the originals at a different lab than the originals. They are not the original codes from the original manufacturer. On the candle science ones at AFI, check the ifras. I am getting error messages on AFI periodically tonight, not sure if it is me or their site. I was trying to compare golden rose since I know it is in both places currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just compared several ifras from AFI to the counterparts from candle science. None were even close to matching. Not one in any of the categories. Color me skeptical. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapmaker145 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I signed up to let you all know that I've asked Nurture Soap to dupe the TCS FOs. They have kindly agreed to do it and will have some of them available later this year. I had been stocking this thread hoping to hear that somebody will buy them or dupe the oils. Sadly, it became clear that these FOs weren't going to be available retail any time soon . I'm a hobbyist soaper and I liked many of the TCS FOs. The scents are clean, behaved in cp and played very well in blends. I'm hoping that Nurture likes them enough to offer many of them for sale. If anybody has a favorite or want to add their favorite to the duping list, please let Nurture Soap know about your interest. I have to check my stock and will make a list of the ones I have this weekend. PS. I'll be buying the FOs just like everybody else. I don't benefit in any way and I don't sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know someone may carry out there, but isn't this the company that says you have to buy 10 lbs minimum or am I thinking of someone else? Will be interesting to see your list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapmaker145 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 No Nurture sells in smaller (to larger) quantities. They've just duped some of the Mad Oils FOs because MO stopped carrying their oils in smaller quantities. This is why I thought of asking them to dupe the TCS oils before I run out. Here is what I have in: ~1lb+: True Lavender, Peach Raspberry Magnolia, Redwood Cedar, Tangerine Dreams, Forest Muse, Sweet Musk ~2 to 4 oz: Under the tree, VBN, Sweat Pea, Lovespell, Dried Apple Wreath, Lilac, Spicy Apples&Peaches ~1oz: Chocolate Nut Brownie, Brown sugar & Honey, Buttercream, Sweet coconut, Birthday Cake, Georgia Peach, Honeysuckle Passion, lemon Chiffon Pie, Fruit Loops, Fruit Slices, Hot Maple Toddy, Be delicious, Ocean Fresh, Flowerbomb Type, Butt Naked, Sugar Cookie, Butterscotch Brulee, Fresh Strawberry, Egg Nog, Spiced Clove, Spiced Cranberry, Gingerbread House, Red Velvet Cupcake, Christmas Tree, Christmas Splendor, Pumpkin Souffle, Strawberry Cheesecake, Mulberry. I was able to buy a few (but not all) of the ones I liked when TCS announced the sale. I plan on sending the ones in the top 2 lines to Nurture. I can contribute the ones in 1oz categories if anybody is interested. FYI: Candle Cocoon Neroli de la Luna is an exact dupe for Redwood Cedar (at least in soap). Branbleberry Summer Fling is a poor dupe for Peach Raspberry Magnolia if anybody is looking. The TCS version is much stronger, doesn't discolor and is much cleaner smelling than BB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well I have a few of Tennessee's. Wish someone had the strength of their Apple Cinnamon. Now I'll have to seek out what we have and add to the list. If Nurture is up to duping ... well I'll be game to try to help. Seems we had some you don't, but my partner is currently into moving everything around and out of here but fails to bring stuff back ... grrr!

I sent a box of the TCS FOs to Nurture. I asked Carrie to test the FOs and pick what she likes for duping. I'll check this weekend to see if the chocolate nut brownie was among them. She planned on waiting until they moved into their new location to do the duplications because of space limitation. I had the MMS Sweet Musk few years back and I didn't care for it in soap. The TCS smelled different to me. It is very strong and lovely in soap. It discolored a light pistachio green and stayed that way. It survived a long cure without morphing or DOS. I dumped the soap I made with the MMS SM. Maybe MMS reformulated their SM after I tested it. I should have some of the TCS SM and I'm happy to send a sample out for comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the chocolate nut brownie. It seems like I didn't send too many of the sweet/foodie scents because I didn't think Nurture would be interested in them. Their focus is on soapers. I haven't heard anything from Nurture about the FOs I sent. Maybe there is another vendor that is more focused on candles that we can send it to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
