The Candle Nook Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Since I'm ordering old favorites (that CS has chosen to change😢 so now I have to retest) I was wondering if anyone has tried (or heard anything about) their new scents: Peppercorn Pomander: Peppercorn Pomander is a peppery twist on a traditional holiday fruit fragrance. Fresh cracked peppercorn blends with orange peel and mandarin for a spiced citrus treat. Tonka bean and vanilla in the base smooth out the zesty orange notes. Black pepper, clove leaf, and orange essential oils enhance the juicy citrus and piquant spice of this realistic scent. Tonka and Oud: Tonka and Oud is a complex, modern fragrance with high-end appeal. This woody scent begins with top notes of amaretto and powder as it gives way to a heart of tonka and balsam. Notes of rum, musk, and sweet, resinous oud make up the base of this intriguing fragrance. Rosemary and Sage: Indulge in some aromatherapy and surround yourself in the herbal mélange of Rosemary Sage. Cooling eucalyptus and pine notes uplift fresh green florals and rosemary, while earthy sage and cedar lend this fragrance an enticing woodsy base. An infusion of fir needle, eucalyptus, and cedar leaf essential oils reinforce the botanical beauty of this scent. Peppermint Mocha: Our Peppermint Mocha fragrance is a chocolatey delight for your senses. This signature drink fragrance blends decadent chocolate and peppermint into an irresistible treat. Notes of peppermint and a hint of coconut milk blend with rich chocolate and creamy vanilla. White Currant: White Currant is a versatile fragrance with wide appeal, thanks to the alluring balance of tart and sweet. Red currant and zesty lemon peel combine with airy ozone before giving way to a botanical heart of juniper and geranium. Black currant and just a hint of peppermint in the base reinforce the tart freshness of this year-round scent. Dulce de Leche: Dulce de Leche transforms any space into an artisanal confectionery shop filled with the warm aroma of buttery caramel. This sweet, decadent fragrance tempts your senses with notes of rich butter before giving way to a heart of luscious caramel and cream. Vanilla and tonka bean in the base reinforce the sweetness and warmth that makes Dulce de Leche such an appealing scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoomGraduate Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I LOVE Peppercorn Pomander. They described this one in one of their articles as "autumnal volcano" and that's pretty spot on. White Currant is awesome, not too sweet and not too tart. Tried Dulce de Leche on a whim, I do not usually like bakery scents, but it's delicious. Made me hungry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks @RedRoomGraduate I ordered the peppercorn pomander, white currant, and peppermint mocha. Can’t wait to try them!! ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Received CS order today and OOB — TOTALLY agree with @RedRoomGraduate “autumnal volcano” for the peppercorn pomander...LOVE the peppermint mocha, and find the white currant interesting and think it will be successful. Also re-designed Fresh coffee smells same and cranberry marmalade is now cranberry apple marmalade....it’s different and will know how much different once it’s in wax...stay tuned. Everything will have to cure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the cranberry marm, aNd to me it is weak and flat, especially compared to the old peak scent by the same name. Wow that one was GOOD!

The Candle Nook Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 @Hotpinkao I haven’t burned the new cranberry marmalade but it is definitely different. I am getting apple - which I didn’t before (and I can’t find flavor notes online of the old FO). My current problem is I don’t have time before fall’s huge market for this to research/test a bunch of new cranberry’s looking for a cranberry marmalade dupe. (Which the old CS FO, in MHO, was one of the best FO around). I am pouring this new one and passing to a repeat customer who buys this all the time and getting her thoughts. I have 2 pounds of the old oil and will pour those for my friends/family/church — then try new stuff 😢 (and let me state, for once and for all, I DON’T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT PHTHALATES!! STOP CHANGING FO OILS!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Also, the “old” cranberry marmalade was excellent HT at 6% in soy wax— the new has weak cold throw...not encouraging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Haven't bought in forever but I am still training 3 people so getting to work with some of these. I agree on the Cranberry Marm, it is nowhere near the old. We actually had a bottle of both which we compared OOB and then poured both and let cure. Both llked the old way better and it was stronger. The Peppermint Mocha is great I loved it both OOB and in wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I just bought 2 pounds of the old H&G since I had a feeling the new may be different. I agree on being annoyed from all of the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I just received the new formulated Cranberry Marm and it def has different notes to it. It smells weak and flat to me. Hopefully it performs in wax...we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktaggard Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 What is up with CS's Hazelnut Coffee. I used to love it!!! It was my go to coffee scent. But, not anymore! It is now that gross nutty, carmel smell that does not smell like coffee at all. Does anyone know a great coffee fragrance oil, that does not have that nutty smell? I'm like Candle Nook and don't care about PHTHALATES! I just want good smells back!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Add me to the don't-give-a-rat's-arse-about-phthalates club. The loss of Cranberry Marm is a pain. I also bought up a couple of lbs. because I already have a Cran. Apple Marm. FO from Flaming. They aren't the same scent and I don't need another Cran. Apple anything. Candle Science gets on my nerves with their crunchiness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Normally I like many of Candle Science fragrances but I just did a test with their Christmas tree in 4630 wax. Well first tester I thought maybe I forgot to add the fragrance oil, so did another. Absolutely zero scent from the candle cold throw. Not going to work, not even burning it. I was shocked, it was the first fo I have used that seriously had zero scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdies making scents Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I was wondering if anyone has tried Indigos- Old Hemingway Scentsy type? If so how it is? I make wax melts and have a few customers looking for that scent. If not from Indigo where else would I find that fragrance oil!?!

The Candle Nook Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ok. Some results on new CS FO in my 464 wax...the cranberry apple sucks...Just saying it out loud. The reformulated Fresh Coffee performs and smells just like old (thank goodness). Still great HT at 6%. The white currant (which I think took red currant’s place) has a very weak hot throw at both 6% and 10% 🙄. Others are ready to burn if I can stay home long enough to test the blasted things out! (Peppercorn pom testing tomorrow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thank you for letting us know about the new coffee. I was worried about that one. I sell that stuff by the pot full 😄 and I was hoping it would be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Candle Nook Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 @pcbrook - same (about fresh coffee) after burning thru the peppermint mocha I have changed my mind. Trying a new wick because the fragrance seems to have gone “off”...I can’t really explain it, not much peppermint any longer just a flat mocha. I hate FO changes in the fall/holiday season. Why don’t these companies change everything in January and February when I’m burned out of massive candle making and have the time to test better....also, changing the wick in White Currant and seeing if anything gets better. So far, HT hasn’t been much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Candle Nook Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 @RedRoomGraduate thanks - that’s a reformulated red currant And I haven’t bothered to order it yet — guess I will have to try...the white currant is throwing better after a 6 week cure. Still not what I’d like it to be.. Also, one of my cran marmalade people likes the cran apple. After a 5 week cure the apple seems to have taken a backseat and the spicy cranberry is back. Did have to up it to 10% tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a 6% FO load and 7.5 week cure — I’m in love. ❤️ But. Wow. Waiting for that cure time in my wax.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
