puma52 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 That is great info to know Trappeur! You definitely have a nose for pines and I just love to read your descriptions and thoughts on scents! I have done several pours of the WSP Frasier Fir now and it is such a joy to pour! The scent is just so wonderful! It is good to know that CS is extremely similar! Thanks for the descriptions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I can't say with certainty but I recall someone on here saying that they did not care for FB 's Frasier Fir . CS is really good + so is WSP A better price is CS for sure as its super close to WSP's . Hopefully someone else will chime in who's actually tried the one from FB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got just a handful that I use all the time and they are all different from one another. Each one is beautiful in their own way. Trappeur I too like the CS Fraser Fir, it's a very clear Fir smell, and brings a brightness that is frequently lacking in pine scents. So speaking of pine scents, I am really looking for a pine scent that smells like old heartwood pine, like aged lighter fat... Any tips on where I could find something like that Trappeur?

Not exactly the same, but quite similar. I am guessing the exact match to Under the Tree is probably out there under the name "Mistletoe" something or other. Along those same lines as CS Mistletoe is Holly Berry, I can't remember which is which right now, but I think that the Mistletoe has more of a pine scent to it and the Holly Berry has much of the same but with a softer almost honey like warmth to it. Anyway one is more sharp and slightly "greener" than the other, and the softer one is a very warm and almost, I really don't know what the term would be other than honey like or just warm and inviting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, It doesn't smell like that to me but then again, I like the smell of durian fruit, ( yum! Vidalia onions...) Sandalwood makes me involuntarily retch. Smell and taste are rather personal things.

YAMS Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I failed with Frasier Fir and Blue Spruce which MAKES NO SENSE to me because out of the bottle I expected them to be super hot throwers. Maybe I need to try them again because the smell is fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always test with the same jar, same wax, same % of oil, same wick. If that doesn't give me the throw I want, I give up on that fragrance. However, so many ppl have success with this oil, I may try one more wick. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is where each person's sense of smell comes in to play. We're all different. Some people love Apple Jack, some people hate Apple Jack. It's the same fragrance (the one I use) so why do some love it and some hate it? It's because my sense of smell is different than yours. Likewise, your customer's sense of smell is different than yours. You just can't expect to like an FO based on the recommendation of anyone else. Goldie, I think you meant to say you tried Premiers 785 and 790, not 185 and 190. Don't want someone trying to find a Premier 185 and not being able to. (Just a typo I'm sure - I do it all the time!)

Because I think, didn't you say you were using the 16oz canning jar? Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
