Trappeur Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Really? Gunpowder and burnt rubber?...... Sorry can't help you out here...I'm sure someone will come up with something though when they see your post. Trappeur 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Candlemakers Store carries Gunpowder & Burnt Rubber fo, I've never tried it so I can't really say what it's like. Edited February 8, 2017 by kandlekrazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Save On Scents has those I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) If you have the materials available you might can get something similar mixing a sharp Leather FO with a Marzipan type scent (Something in the Tonka, Heliotrope, Powdery Vanilla Plastic, Playdoh Almond aroma family) Then add a bit of Cardamom FO and Smoke FO. You'd be hard-pressed to find something that will give you that sulfurous quality of gunpowder mostly because sulfides are rarely used in Fragrance Oil. Good Luck.

CorgiCaper Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thank you so much for your responses Yes, oddly enough I keep getting asked for candles that smell like both of them. Although I am not surprised since I live in the mountains where shooting guns is a sport. The burnt rubber thing... have no excuse for that one... lol CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendia Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think I'm living a very sheltered life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 OK Just tried out a sample order of CandleMaker's offerings. In a word; HORRIBLE! I Tried: Fireworks, Gunpowder and Burnt Rubber They were awful and not because they smelled of sulfur (they didn't) they smelled sweetly, perfume with a dry woodnote like sandalwood with a odd soapy background. They smelled nothing like their namesakes. Fireworks and Gunpowder were identical, at least to my nose. Burnt Rubber was as I expected, a mostly Leather fragrance with a hint of smoke. It kinda worked but not really accurate to "Burnt Rubber". I chalk this sample test up as a failure. Not to derail the thread but has anyone else had bad luck from CandleMaker's Store?

Darbla Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I won't buy from Candlemaker's again after one of theirs turned bad in a matter of a few weeks. And their lack of descriptions is a huge turnoff. I gave them a chance, had that bad experience, so no more. There used to be an FO we could get called Guns n Roses, but that company is gone now. A small perfumer I used to buy from had a limited edition gunpowder scent, but when it sold out she didn't blend up more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm always looking for a more accurate gunpowder FO. Do you think the small perfumer would be up for a group buy if we can get one going? I'd be in for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Those notes are right up my alley. If you find accurate scents to description I am interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiCaper Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Still looking and testing. Will keep you updated. I'm almost at 100% gunpowder on my own mix of FO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calan Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Late to the party, but I'm in. I'm surrounded by gun-totin', tire-smokin' racecar builders (and I are one )... so sign me up if anyone finds good versions of these.

Darbla Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Wasn't there a gunpowder FO at Save On Scents? I never ordered it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
