Trappeur Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Daisy, I believe they do their own blends, Black Crow....Their description is a balsam. I don't know what balsam they might use. The only true balsam fir out there in the market in my opinion is Fillmores "Christmas Tree". The Natures Garden description has bayberry in it which is so totally different than balsam. Maybe you could buy something small from Black Crow and smell it yourself to decipher what you think is in it? I've heard Black Crow candles are really nice. Then again maybe they do use Natures Garden.....who knows? I have to order a few oils from Natures Garden and I'm going to get a sample of "Christmas Thyme".

Ray Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Black Crow has some strong candles, but boy do those suckers smoke like a chimney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I had a customer ask for a dupe of theirs and I searched high and low. They wanted a dupe of the Farmhouse scent. I ordered a few scent shots to compare to fragrances. I found their Farmhouse was an exact match to NG Harvest Type so maybe they are a NG user.

Daisymay66 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 I’m so very bad at describing scents. All I can know is if I like\love it or not. I have never ever smelled a scent that just screams Christmas. I do have FC Christmas Tree but it’s not the same. Black Crow is absolutely everywhere so I would tend to think they have their own oils. I will definitely try NG one that was mentioned. I’ve smelled this so many times and I never get sick of it. Although I am not a pine lover, FC CT is a good seller for me, but this one is totally different. Thanks so much for all the help! I’ll keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, they are another label of McCalls. Found mine at Cabellas . And yes, SMOKE and scary, super talllllll flames. Both of these were trimmed about level with the wax before lighting. The red one has flared about 5” at times with a soot stack that extends about a foot above the candle. CrZy. I video’d but can’t post that type here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The Black Crow she is talking about is blackcrowcandlecompany.com of which one of their scents is called Christmas Thyme. McCalls Candles is the only candle company I carried in my shop at the time and yep as big as sellers as they were/are today, they do get huge flames....It always amazed me about that and that was way b/4 I started making candles but they sure do throw, I will say that.

Daisymay66 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes to what Trapp told ya’ all I have no idea how but I want this scent as much as the S’mores one that Trapp and I have been looking for. I think even more! It is AMAZING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisymay66 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) I looked on their website and the description for it says Balsam scent that is amazing. #1 selling Christmas scent Edited September 25, 2018 by Daisymay66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 They are literally EVERYWHERE in my area ! I live near Amish country and I swear, every shop has Black Crow ,Crossroads or some other commercially made candle ☹️ I will check for that one next time I'm out , because I have the Christmas Thyme FO from NG and I'll know if it's the same. I do know for sure that their Prairie Butter scent is indeed NG's Pumpkin Apple Butter . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruralers Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have been very impressed with Black Crow candles. Their packaging is fantastic--it's something actually you want to decorate with. They are a local to me company and I am super proud of what they have created! Their room fresheners l are a favorite with my family. I have no connections with this company, other than they are localish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda thinking that to with the Pumpkin Apple Butter. I’ll anxiously wait for your post I tried one candle from Crossroads and it was really good too. I think it was something Maple. Seems like Trapp would know. Think I remember her saying that scent was really good from Crossroads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Black Crow has done very well for themselves. I thought at one time someone said she was on this board. I know her name is Shirley Franzoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the Buttery Maple Syrup... every shop in Amish country carries Crossroads as well and they have that scent going strong in the wax melters or the candles burning. Candlewic & FB has the best Buttery Maple fo's I've ever poured, very strong and my customers go crazy over that scent ! Crossroads is pretty close to me in Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly when they are testing, this flame isn't acceptable to them. I wonder if something changes after sitting on the shelves for a while?

TallTayl Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 @Jeana the wax reminds me a lot of 4786 which flares like that when first lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
