ThisLittleLightOfMine Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hey all! I have a customer asking if a can find a scent that would duplicate the Victorian christmas candle from Salt City Candles. Does anyone know of one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I just googled and saw a lot of suppliers using that name but cierra candles appears to have a similar description. They don't seem to mention vanilla though and the Salt City version calls vanilla out. I'm not familiar with this scent at all though, but I hope this helps. http://www.cierracandles.com/Victorian-Christmas-Fragrance-Oil.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I've never heard of that company so I did a google search. They have a great selection & are a home party type company, I bet their candles are pretty strong too bad you can't find them local so you can get a better idea for yourself of how it smells so you can do a match. Wonder if they sell wax melts ? Those are cheaper than a candle & you'd still get a better idea . Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Lone Star Candle has Victorian Christmas - Top notes include fruity aspects with fir needle, mid-notes of warm baked apple and cinnamon with base notes of warm, sweet woodsy scents and patchouli. I used this oil years ago and liked it. Don't know how it compares to Salt City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The Candlemaker's Store has a Victorian Christmas that is very nice. But it is more of a orange spice smell to my nose. No scent descriptions on their site, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might help you when making comparisons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisLittleLightOfMine Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I just received this yesterday and am trying to duplicate today. To my sniffer it smells more like a cinnamon & vanilla but the salt city description says it has orange etc... I'll do the best I can!

Trappeur Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I just checked the description of V.Xmas by Salt City and it is orange, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. So I would say it is an orange spice scent with vanilla which I happen to love that combo. Ciarras Victorian Xmas that I just put into wax the description is orange, clove and cinnamon. Cierra's Victorian Xmas personally doesn't do much for me even though I put it into wax....and sometimes you just have to make the candle, let it cure and then see how it blooms... If your trying to dupe Salt city, i bet if you added vanilla bean noel to Cierra's, it would be beautiful. If it were me, I would probably get an orange spice oil (I happen to love Community Candle's called Orange Peel & Cinnamon) and add the vanilla bean noel to it. Belinda sent me a sample of Cajuns orange spice which is nice too and very strong and you could do the same thing. What did you just get? The Salt city candle? Or a sample oil from someone.

ThisLittleLightOfMine Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 I got the last 1/2 inch of her old salt city candle. I tried mixing Cs Christmas hearth with cinnamon and vanilla and she said it wasn't sweet enough so I added a bit more very vanilla and it just didn't come together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I use Christmas Hearth all the time from CS and I wouldn't think it would be anywhere close to what your looking for. There is a lot of pine in that scent with the scent of a fireplace in the background shining through, so I would start over and work with the basic scents in Salt City.

JuliJ Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 This was my favorite candle of all time! Did anyone ever find a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbySAH Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I have 6 melter tiles of Victorian Christmas left from Salt City, as of today. I was so devastated when they went out of business. Their showroom was a 10 minute drive from my home (as it was a Utah based company) and I spend $100's a year on them. Very highly scented candles!! Could cover 2 to 3 room span. I just put a melter tile (I preferred the candle better) on for Thanksgiving day. I have held on to them for years because I know when they are gone, they are gone. And I will be soooo sad. People on Etsy have them for sale....putragepusly price at $100 a candle, but one day I may succumb... for now I use Goose Creek Candles, but they are nothing compaired to thus one scent. 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could find a base that's similar and blend something else with it. What is it similar to? It sounds amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaM Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I found the exact mimic of it! ( they literally have the exact recipe from salt city candle that they used!) It's https://ashmancandles.com. they have victorian christmas in the "beannie melts" and it's strong and I'm so happy! My friend mailed me some and i put one little beanie cube thing in and i could smell it in the whole room really fast. I'm in heaven over here! thought I'd share! Merry Christmas!

KinaMalia Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Ashmancandles.com has the Salt City Candle Company formula and currently sells the scent in their beanies. I also, would like it in a candle. I think it would be wonderful in their Woodwicks when they get those back in. I purchased two packs of the Beanies and can confirm it is the same scent. I am soooo happy. I still have a couple SCC's Victorian Christmas candles. A bit left in the snowman and a new jar. Ashman took on several SCC scents. Welcome Home, Cinnamon Vanilla, Pumpkin Spice, Honeydew Melon, Pepperberry Wreath, Christmas Trimmings (now called Noel), German Streusel Cake (called Strudel 'n Spice), Fruit Slices (Fresh Fruit, it smells the same to me), Lemon Merengue Pie (Lemon Creme), Simply Cinnamon, Sugar cookie and Sunflower. Now if they will get the Golden Apple, Iced Pineapple and Winterberry Frost, they will have all my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
