Hey as far as the names...hey if I throw my name of a scent out there..anyone that likes it and wants to use it...I say go for it !! Love daffodil from Fillmore! I think I am becoming a floral lover....lol Edited September 16, 2016 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 23 hours ago, Moonstar said: The Nutmeg Ginger is super nice + super strong - maybe even cutback just a tad ? I have a 1# bottle of the daffodil, Im typically not a floral person but its nice (OK) and it is strong - very Spring -y . Paperwhites have a very distinctive smell to them not sure if the daffodil will pass for that though. But that of course is just my opinion. On a side note, I ordered a few FO's from Candlewic , Vanilla Sugared Shortbread had rave reviews on here but personally OOB I much prefer Indianna's. You really smell the shortbread in hers + its just lovely. Candlewick's is nice but much heavier on the vanilla, which is nice but I prefer to smell more of the shortbread. I also tried Baking Cupcakes - smells like cupcakes but OOB lacks a bit of richness IMO . My last sample was Smoked Birch - Interesting(sorta) lol ! but not one I would typically gravitate to. OOB you get SMOKED wood + I really pick up on the patchouli - which Im not really a fan of. Hmmm IDK I might add something to it . Since it has applewood in it too, maybe some CS apple + a touch of their shortbread FO ?? we shall see . Im sure others might really like this one just not me lol ! The patchouli + Myrh in it ...mmmm not my cup of tea lol ! I am thinking some pine with that smoked birch could be good....I am pretty sure I have a sample of that myself and didn't do anything with it because it is really really smokey - if it's the one I am thinking I LOVE elements Rocky Mountain Christmas and that birch could be a winner with the right pine notes....I am going to have to go digging in my containers to see while I wait for my Fraser fir to get here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Moonshine I mix CS Christmas Hearth with RE Bonfire Bliss and call it Autumn Bonfire. For a coffee type I use C&S Cappuccino as my mixer it smells sooooo good. This year I am mixing it with RE's French Vanilla and calling it Cappuccino Latte. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Moonshine, yep I'm like you, I really don't do but a few blends as I'm never happy with mine...lol I do Balsam fir (christmas tree) 40 % and 60% Vanilla voodoo (CC) My own pumpkin pie (I've stated the combo many times here...don't mean to be repetishis) Leather and Bourbon (or was it whisky)....I'm losing it lately.... And now Kentucky Bourbon (Flaming) and my blend of pumpking pie And these do take a long time and then when you have to critique it.....and add more of this and that and hope you write your recipe down correctly and then wait for my cure time......yikes! Oh geezum crown I had forgotten all about Tinsel! I need to get some! Glad you put that one up there. I do one candle in tinsel and one in garland. I think I'm going to name a candle "Tinsel & Garland". Been meaning to do that for the past few years.. I see you order a lot from CS. Ok, you need to get, get get Christmas Hearth! Been using for years. It doesn't smell like a bonfire. I think it is exactly what you are looking for. Just imagine this...Your sitting in your favorite chair next to the cozy fire going in the fireplace while your petting Zoey sitting in your lap needing away on your favorite camp blanket. hee, hee, hee..... Your just chilling out watching Horse Whisperer (I watch it 50 times a year myself, lol) or maybe it's the night your watching that "Zombie show...."Walking Dead", and you glance over once in a while and get mesmarized by the fire and the wonderful scent of the burning fire. Oh, yea, did I forget the pot of hot mulled cider sitting on top of the stove? And of course candles burning all over the place? I do this all by my lonesome olesome and love it..... You can really really smell the crackling and hear the crackling of the firewood with hints of pine and just faint hints of maybe a wee bit of spice, not much. I can detect some more things...or maybe I'm imagining it. It's a strong fragrance but I have always loved it. I sell all year long. In the summer I change out the name to Crackling Firewood or Fireside or Country Hearthj. It's that good! Trappeur 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love horse whisper and can't wait for walking dead to come back -lol you hit me on the money as my fireplace (not real) is right next to where me and my fur kids sit every night I honestly don't remember if I ever even put Christmas hearth in wax I just know I had ditched for some reason or another but that was long ago and I use a different wax now so I will definitely give it a try again!

Candybee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes Moonshine you must get Christmas Hearth. I always light a Christmas eve fire in my fireplace and light up a Christmas Hearth candle. I love it so much its become an annual tradition. Also, its one of those scents that for some reason grows on you. First get some, make a candle, then smell it, then smell it again.... I guarantee you will begin to like it more and more. But when you burn it it smells just like what a fire at Christmas should smell like.... the smoky hearth, goodies on the table, and the tree all trimmed in the corner. Of course on Christmas day I always burn Mistletoe my absolute fav Christmas scent. But this year I had some Bonfire Bliss left over and wanting to use up old FOs laying around I decided to mix it with the Christmas Hearth. The blend is very nice and I am glad I did!

moonshine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Candy you use Rocky Mountain Christmas from elements don't you? how does Christmas hearth compare? I am ordering now ?

Candybee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I love Rocky Mountain Christmas.... I still call it Christmas Pines from way back. The two are very different. RMC is more of a soft pine scent and I don't get any smokiness out of it at all. Christmas Hearth is a smoky campfire type scent with notes of pine and dried fruits but the smoky fire scent is the strongest part of it. BTW-- RMC makes awesome soap! Both CP and M&P. I have been using it for years in my soap but you know for some reason I never made candles out of it. I always use Fillmore's Christmas Tree and CS Mistletoe for candles.

katmeltswax Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Belinda , Candlesource has a wonderful Pumpkin brulee .It is super strong & so far my fav pumpkin scent. I know you like bakery scents & this one is a perfect pumpkin scent IMO. I have used it in 4630/4625 & the 129 as well . The throw is great in both wax blends . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to remember not to use everything up because this is a scent not out there any more ... there are no crying smilies but I would insert a gazillion of them about right here. Warm Vanilla Nutmeg ... it's market screams fall and winter and could easily become Christmas Treat if necessary. Where's your favorite place Scented for WVN?
