gilligan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I am completely bummed by BCS closing and BCN only keeping a few of their oils... But especially their Banananut Bread. Does anyone know of a comparable one to them or who took theirs over? BCN is nothing like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I use Candle Science's banana nut bread and love it. You can smell the bananas and nuts, not like some where you only smell bananas. I also like RE's banana walnut cake which smells a whole lot like BNB from CS. I don't think I ever smelled BCS one though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I too use + like CS Banana Nut Bread + like it. Not to long ago I ordered a few FO's from BCN to try out.i I saw some good reviews on here but I was not a fan. They all had the same occurring smell to them. Like a weird powder scent , to my nose anyhow. I got the blueberry verbena - lavender - grapefuit vanilla + few others but don't remember which ones. I ended up putting the blueberry verbena in wax to give it a chance and still had the same strange smell even after a long cure. The only one that was just ok was vanilla grapefruit.

gilligan Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I had the same reaction to BCN's, that's why I Loved BCS's so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Peak's does really well as a replacement for BCS BNB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I agree with Moonstar about some of the oils from BCN having some sort of smell to them. I got it from some of BCS oils too. It reminded me of some kind of nutty undertone. Cajun's banana nut bread is good too. I also like RE's banana walnut cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when you can smell nuts and bread in the mix and not just bananas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once ordered CS by mistake and there is a definite difference but I honestly don't remember exactly what it was. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be his third year with her, she has become a friend and like family By the time November gets here Im ready for break to start too. She is an amazing teacher and lady, she loves and truly cares about her students. Im counting down the days for school to start and last time I looked I might be going bald LMAO !!!! In October, Im sending in a 5# bag of wax - FO and portion cups so her class can make wax melts for their annual fund raiser. They always do great ! I need to pick 3-4 FO's to send in. Im thinking NG Mrs Claus Cookie - Fillmore Xmas tree - CS Marmalade - CS Macintosh - NG Pumpkin Crunch Cake - should be a good mix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking NG Mrs Claus Cookie - Fillmore Xmas tree - CS Marmalade - CS Macintosh - NG Pumpkin Crunch Cake - should be a good mix I really do love my job although I was sure loving sleeping late and being lazy! I work with special needs kids and this is my 20th year. I've brought several of them home with me at times and one of my students who has Downs Syndrome, is like part of our family now. She's 27 and she's been coming home with me since she was 11. I'm Mom#2 and my husband is Dad #2 LOL! She comes and stays the weekend with me at least once a month. We do fund raisers with out kids too and use the money to go on field trips and such. We sell water to the other students but I'm not sure if they'll let us do that this year. We usually have a Christmas sale too but we have a runner this year so that may have to be pushed aside LOL! It's hard to take care of customers and hold a kids hand at the same time! Gotta love them though. They have been such a blessing to work with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle guy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hey everyone, I have cs banana nutbread and have used it before but I was not able to get a strong ht. I am not sure if it's the wax I use or it just doesn’t have a real strong ht. Maybe I will try it in Clarus or 6006 to see. I have used it in 464 and 4627 but was not able to get a strong throw. Any suggestions? Also fillmore is mailing me banana nutbread today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
