smart tart Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Had ordered a couple of sample packs from Day Star from her 'Premium' line...was really thinking they were too pricey for me (and I don't like the different 'grades' :undecided )HOWEVER.......the vanille abricot is to die for!! Poured J223, zinc wick in a 10 oz apothecary jar.....Cold throw was outstanding....I cured overnight and within 10 minutes of lighting the hot throw was stupendous (looking for better than outstanding...lol) and within 30 minutes it was filling 2 rooms.My next to burn is the vanille banane (type).....cold throw on this one is also outstanding!I don't even (usually) like vanilla but this vanille abricot is truly the best fo I have smelled - I think ever! (And I am a fo ho!)I have alot of her fo's (from her regular line) and they are good in candles and BnB - love her cranberry banana jam in soap - but vanille abricot is my MOST favorite - not just from Day Star but from all!Can ya tell I like this fo??

smart tart Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Were you able to use less FO than usual?I might have been able to, however, since it was my 1st pour with it, I used 1 oz pp.....I don't think I would use less however, cause I loooooooooooooooove it just like it is....going to order a pound just for me and I promise it will never leave this house....(unless Bunny wants some ) After that pound is gone, I am sure I will have fallen in love with another fragrance!

OutlandishLady Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Guess I'll add that to my list of ones to try next order. Man I love Stacy's oils. My current fave is the Peach Jam Cheesecake....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Smart,That is good to know. I have had the Vanille Apricot in the cubboard for several months and just have not gotten around to pouring it. It seems pretty light out of the bottle but like they say "don't judge a scent out of bottle". I do use soy, so I hope I can get as good of a throw as you do in the J-223. She really does have some nice oils. I have so many more to test from her company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi! I was wondering how Day Star's Vanille Abricot compared to the originalComptoir scent. Have you ever smelled it? It is a really gorgeous scent, and if someone could dupe it, it would be worth it to me to pay more for the oil. I tried Scent-Work's vanilla-apricot type scent, and it wasn't the same. (They don't sell it as a dupe, but I was hoping it would be close). Please post after you pour the Vanille Banane-I've never smelled the original, but if it's anything like the apricot, it's probably wonderful, too. Thanks for the post.

Jordan Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 we got a very light throw in candles, so we didn't add it to our line. Tested in soy and 50-50 waxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I am test burning the Vanille Apricot as I write this and it has a light throw for me too. I am testing in soy. It sure does smell good though ....but not quite strong enough. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, it definitely was light. I guess all waxes are different. Nice for bath and body, but I prefer JS apricot freesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
