Marleigha Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that CS is having their 1 oz sample sale from the 21st through the 24th of August. I haven't seen this posted yet, so just wanted to let everyone know. Any suggestions ? I'm looking for a few new scents that are Fall/Winter and maybe even some Clean/Spa FO's. TIA! 😇 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @Marleigha I have been using Cinnamon Stick and Pumpkin Souffle from CS ever since I started making candles 9 years ago. Cinnamon stick is one of my favorite cinnamons of all I've tried, and Pumpkin Souffle is a customer favorite, although I am tired of it. Both are super strong in soy wax. Very Vanilla isn't necessarily a fall scent, but it is my favorite vanilla FO, along with Vanilla Bean Noel (not from CS). I got a sample of Pumpkin Caramel Crunch during last year's sample sale and I love it OOB. I am going to order some one of these days when I need more of my staple scents from CS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This is the first year in a long time I won't be partaking in this particular scent event. ... Just too busy and don't have time to get an order in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm glad I got the email today, we've been away at a show and I hadn't had a chance to check the email! Any highly recommended scents? Anyone? I've only gotten a 5 sample from them when ordering some lids, so what's good at CS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I swore I wasn't going to get in on anymore sales but I have to place an order with CS, so I guess I'll get some... Everything that Gail just said I agree. Oh Gail! Pumpkin Car. crunch is awesome! I love it myself..! I did get some White Birch samples and made a few candles and it is "beautiful". So Gail you don't need to test that one as I did since we both use the same wax. I'd get a pound too...don't waste your money on a sample...ha ha ha Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've tried just about everything they have. Just bought samples of all the new scents a couple weeks ago. Still, I was ordering #'s of Fallen Leaves and threw a few samples in my cart...mostly pumpkin and fall stuff, some I know I've tried before and just can't remember them. Still, I cant wait to get them. I'm so bored with what I'm currently using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are doing well. 😇 You are actually the person that got me to end up trying the Pumpkin Soufflé about a year or year and 1/2 ago. I ❤ it!!! That's actually my husbands favorite out of everything Bakery that I've made. He absolutely loves it! So because they mastered Pumpkin Soufflé I was thinking about grabbing another pumpkin FO from them. They have the Toasted Pumpkin Spice and then the Pumpkin Caramel Crunch so I'm torn. Ugh! I also love their Cinnamon Stick and Very Vanilla but CC's Vanilla Voodoo is also very nice! 😇 Any other favs from the new ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Pumpkin Caramel Crunch and Toasted Pumpkin Spice? I'm up in the Air on what one to get a full pound size bottle of. 😊 @Trappeur white birch is truly very nice but I something very similar. However will possibly order some when I run out depending on where I'm placing an order from first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken a moratorium on buying Fragrance Oils. 2 months yesterday. My daughter and granddaughter said I should get a chip! I see you are getting Caramelized Pralines. I had that years ago and it is good. Of those you are asking about, I have samples of Cotton Tree and Day at the Spa and I like them both OOB. I haven't smelled Toasted Pumpkin Spice but I sure do love the sample of Pumpkin Caramel Crunch OOB. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS's cotton candy is my FAVORITE cotton candy. I also really love their Raspberry Sangria, and if you don't make soap/bb items it's a good one because it's not skin safe. Found that out AFTER I ordered it, but I love it. I *think* that's where I got the Violet Lime and loved it. I also really like their cucumber mint. There are several others, but those are the ones right off the top of my head from them that I love. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a STRONG and very true to life ginger scent, so if you aren't a fan of the smell of fresh ginger you won't like it, but if you are you'll absolutely love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being that I'm placing an order with CS injust figured I'd grab it here. For the CS Cotton Tree does it smell too similar to CS Clean Cotton or how can you describe it if you don't mind? Thanks so much Gail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much Gail! I Haven't tried CS Clean Cotton so can't compare the two. And I am terrible at describing fragrances. I just smelled Cotton Tree and it is clean and fresh, not just soapy smelling. My favorite Cotton FO is HIgh Cotton from Mill Creek so I stick to that one or Sea Island Cotton from Cierra which I also really like. I am trying my best to avoid buying more FO's since I have two cabinets just full of 1 pounds bottles. I was on a buying frenzy for awhile.
