jbradshaw Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @Michdj I have a Blackberry Sage from Aztec that is VERY nice in candles. I didn't have Peak's so I don't know how it compares, but I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough for now but I know these two will be hard to replace. Other sea/ocean types I have tried don't work. Plus I don't remember seeing Freesia anywhere but Peaks. The Candlemaker's store has Freesia. I have some, and made candles with it a couple of years ago. I don't usually care for floral scents at all, but I did like Freesia. If I would quit buying new fragrance oils, I might get around to making some more Freesia Candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debele Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Fillmore's Christmas Tree is nearly identical to Peaks Spruce Xmas Tree, Their Cinnamon Stick is comparable to Peaks Cinnamon. Peaks quality was beyond compare, the majority of my fragrances came from there. I built a business around it, I don't know how to replace them or how it will affect my business.

Belinda Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had some birthday cake tarts poured with Peak's birthday cake oil and I just sniffed another one made from JS buttercream sugar cookie and they smell almost identical to my nose. I even opened up the bottles of FO and did a sniff test too and I'm not sure if I can tell a difference. It just dawned on me when I was sniffed a tart of BCSC and how much they smelled alike. It's also the same oil as ICS frosted sugar cookie. I've never made the connection with it smelling like Peak's bday cake until now though. Just my opinion and I hope that helps someone. FB, RE and JS also have a good bday cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh what this will do is challenge you, like several of us, to make your scent offerings fresher, a little different and to expand the ever unreachable horizon. Sounds too whatever, I get it, but a lot of us have lived with some very big suppliers going poof and we've scrambled to find something else or found a way to improve or let go of stuff. Hang in there, because those who persevere survive and that's just not limited to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) 16 hours ago, Terry said: Thank you for putting this very helpful list together Scented! By any chance in your travels have you come across any subs for their Asian Sandalwood? @Candybee I know you are another user of this scent.... Aside from the sandalwood, what do you think the "Asian" part of this scent consists of? I am not too good at describing the different scents that compose a FO but if I can get some of the ingredients I will try and blend it myself. Sooooo ... what was it about Asian Sandalwood that I eventually just didn't like? I can't remember. It was like close to 14 years ago trying it. Sigh. I think most of those people who used it would agree that it was the closest thing to sandalwood out there, but there was always the looking out for something else. So, that said ... maybe the objective is to find a really good sandalwood and experiment by adding a touch of baby powder to it and in a different trial, a touch of something peppery (or a peppery floral ha! find that! or an oriental floral) and then a combo of both. That might not pan out to be anything. It just comes to mind. The baby powder part to take the edge off the peppery every so slightly, but Asian sandalwood had a certain spiciness to it is all that sticks to memory. SOooooo ... sandalwood ... the ever pursuit for one that just flat rocks. I know what I've settled on using for various applications but I still have another one to try and an expensive bottle I can't bring myself to try. THAT all said ... keep your eyes peeled for anyone offering a red santal ... sandalwood. Google says Cierra has one. I haven't tried Cierra in anything. Wanted to, but then the biz partner said STOP! and not in a very nice way. It was more like biting off the neck way. When it comes to red santal though ... do not get the stuff that's duping a perfume or cologne out there.

Belinda Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'd like to add something about the birthday cake recommendations. If you've never tried Aztec's or Indiana's, they smell nothing like Peaks' bday cake. Neither does Lone Star's and all of theirs have really good reviews too. Those all smelled like play dough to my nose. Not a bad scent but just more vanilla cake and not the same as Peaks. RE's bday cake, FB's and JS bday cake are much closer to Peaks in my opinion. ICS does have a frosted sugar cookie that's really rich and could be used for bday cake though and it's the same as JS buttercream sugar cookie and does smell very similar to Peak's bday cake in my opinion. Just my two cents worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
