Scented Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Unfortunately we're going to be dropping a supplier, because of lack of stock. It means we'll go ISO, but perhaps some of you can give me some suggestions for: Lavender Lilac Fruit slices Bayberry And we're looking for a cinnamon and clove combination We'll give TCS a try for the leather. And we're looking for a good supplier of UV. We don't really want a system where we have to mix two parts. That all out of the way ... anyone have any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance.

moonshine Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I use and love CS Lavender- it's very similar to the EO and not perfumey I have been using JS lilac and love it- so true and strong but lately the bottles are coming discolor red yellow so at the suggestion of someone I ordered SC and once I test it it will be my new lilac- it's amazing oob A cinnamon clove you could try JS cinnamon nutmeg clove- I don't smell much nutmeg in it - mainly clove bayberry I used to use the scent works but I couldn't give any bayberry scent away around here and I think that's the company that may be oob now....I think that's the one talltayl has been getting some scents duped (I could be wrong on the company on that one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesncats Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I love Bayberry from CS. Throws strong in my 415 soy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina J Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I love the Bayberry from NG. It reminds me of Christmas at Grandma's. For Fruit Slices I like CS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I've used Lilac mist from RE and lavender from NG. Both have sold for me but I can't tell you if they're the best or not because I'm not a floral person at all. They're both very strong in paraffin to my nose though. I love Texas Candle Supply's leather and I also like the one from The Candle Source. I've actually had a couple of people tell me they like that one better. It's a little bit sweeter than the one from Texas Candle Supply. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Thank you all for suggestions! Much, much, much appreciated. It's going to take some testing and time, which I realize. Moonshine we can't give away Bayberry either, but with it in mixes, we can't keep stuff in stock. Weird. Lilac will be difficult for us to replace. The lavender probably about the same, because I don't want to go EO on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I second NG's Bayberry. One of my faves! You might want to try Backwoods Lilac. I have only tried their lilac and linen and love it, but have heard great things on their straight lilac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only lilac that worked for me in parasoy is Sweetcakes..I have not tried Backwoods, though...have tried most everyone else. I would love to know if anyone has found lavender similar to Tennessee True Lavender.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Try Lonestar Julie for your Leather, smells like the real thing. I haven't tried their Lilac, but have just recently gotten several new FO's to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made By Missy M Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I had a similar situation not too long ago. The fact that I ordered small sizes to test, then find out it's NLA or wouldn't be in "for a few weeks" was getting out of hand. The supplier I was using was 1/3 of my scent list. So far I have been able to replace most of them. I'm going to go back to this supplier for only a few of my MUST HAVES and make sure I buy in bulk so my orders will be few and far between. Chopped my 1/3 down to just 3 or 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on lurking now and then, looking and researching, still one of the best places for that. I have started a new adventure in beeswax candles. Just started and am trying to get my wicking down on the jars I am using. So much different than all of the other waxes I have used before. Soy is still my wax of choice, only making them for myself and friends and family. Still making soap every now and then, and beginning to experiment with lotion bars a bit. No time right now to market and sell the candles right now, but hope to one day. I hope you are doing great, and your candle sales are out of site! Take care my friend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siren12 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I use CS lilac and CS lavender I think both are very good. Great hot throw for me too. I feel like they are true to the actual flowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Another vote for CS Lavender, although I'm going to try Flaming's because I love everything I've bought from them and only get a few from CS. Lilac Mist from AH/RE is really nice but I smell another note in it, not as pure to me as the Lavender, sells really well though. Another vote for Lonestar Leather.

Flicker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Candle Cocoon has the BEST lilac, anywhere! http://www.candlecocoon.com/product_p/f_lovely_lilac.htm I've used that one for probably 15 years, maybe more! BCN lavender is great also. Smells very true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Lavender - I like Tennessee (but that's not helping much, sorry) Lilac - I agree with Flicker about Candle Cocoon (don't use too much, it's super strong), Lilac from Peak or Fresh Lilac from Aroma Haven (former KY scent) Fruit Slices - I like the one from Just Scent Bayberry - I adore the Bayberry from Lonestar. Not your typical bayberry but a gorgeous combo of bayberry softened by spice (clove I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thank you to all who have posted since. I really appreciate your opinions! Yes, soshiegirl, lavender from Tenn. didn't help However I need to use some stuff up to be able to pull some more CC in and with it I could go for something other than what did attract me.
