SundayAli Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hello, My first post! But I’ve been lurking for a few months 😄 soaking up all the incredible info you have all kindly provided. Such a wealth of knowledge! Thank you. I recently started making Soy Candles, just for myself and family. I use Naturewax C3, 10oz straight sided tumblers and Eco wicks. On a recent trip to Target, I stopped by the candle section and sniffed a Chesapeake Bay ‘Snuggly Sweater’ Candle. In love with this scent ☺️ What I am wondering is, does anyone happen to know a very close fragrance oil, I could use to recreate this for myself? Below is the description of the scent: “Experience Snuggly Sweater - comforting notes of warm wool wrap around lavender and rose as it rests on a base of white amber, vanilla and musk ready to snuggle up to.” Thank you so much! ~ Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehorsegirl Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hello Sara~I am not familiar with Target Candles but Aztec has a FO called "Sweater Weather" and here is "their" description. A burst of fresh air tingles with mint as it opens this festive blend, Snow covered pine needles are sweetened with winter berries and laced with wood notes that lead to the velvet mossy undertone. Lingering sweetness of vanilla musk finishes the scent. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehorsegirl Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 This is a wonderful soft bedroom scent I use from Natures Garden. It does have some of the same scents. They never reveal everything sometimes. It is called Tranquil Sleep : This fragrance oil by Natures Garden begins with top notes of violet, cyclamen, hyacinth. Middle notes of juicy cantaloupe and watermelon, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley. Bottom notes of cedar, amber, and musk. Absolutely fantastic!

Kerven Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Chesapeake Bay lists Snuggly Sweater as having notes of: warm wool, lavender, rose, white amber, vanilla, and musk. It's also listed as an ozonic/aquatic scent. BBW lists these notes for their Sweater Weather: fresh sage, juniper berry, eucalyptus, and fresh woods. Yankee has a fragrance called Cozy Sweater that looks to be discontinued (?) but there are dupes out there (The Candlemakers Store). Notes: floral, musk, patchouli, warm amber. The Cozy Sweater fragrance may be closer to Snuggly Sweater. Sweater Weather might be a potential as well, but the scent description seems to vary wildly. For example, compared to BBW's description, WSP gives the following notes: citron zest, cyclamen flower, warm amber, ivy, golden sandalwood, midnight jasmine, and oakmoss. Big difference! You'll probably have to browse around but even then some suppliers are way off mark in their descriptions. I'd try both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SundayAli Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thank you so much, i really appreciate your reply, I am going to place an order. I actually just went and purchased the Chesapeake candle from Target 😬 It’s has a light Hot and Cold Throw, but the scent itself it heavenly!

Moonstar Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Following this because I too love the Snuggly Sweater from Chesapeake. I just can't my finger on what notes I'm picking up.They actually have quite a few nice scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerven Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think I watched a video months ago about Chesapeake Bay Candle and I could have sworn it mentioned that they use custom fragrances. Would have to dig around on Youtube to find it... Found it. Somewhere around 12:30 one of the owners mentions working with fragrance houses. Youtube video That was several years ago. Who knows what they're doing today. I'm very curious about the chemical she mentions but doesn't name at 3:40. An emulsifier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SundayAli Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thank you all so much for your replies! Yes very interesting, great video, and since I’m new to candle making I have no clue what chemical that could be 🤔 I did feel slightly better when after a two hour burn, there was a mushroom! I thought it was only my feeble attempts at candle making that resulted in mushrooms 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
