Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcandletarts2 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Peak's carries one also. It smells awesome. Haven't put in wax or bath and body products yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyK Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I've been trying to find the Circle E dupe Bird of Paradise for a while now. Circle E is very popular down here. Daystar's smells just like it OOB but I don't get a great scent throw with it. Still on the search. I saw this one at AH/RE and I'm gonna have to wait till another sale or I need something else.Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classylady71118 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 My niece requested this dup and after researching it I mix my own 50-50, Strawberries & Cream with Pomegranate and to her nose it's exact. I've sold quite a few to Circle E lover's of Bird of Paradise so it must be pretty close...Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 1 T Pomegrante, 1/2 T strawberry jam, and 1/2 T cotton candy. All fo's are from BCN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 BOP has been my absolute #1 seller for about 2 yrs, but I'm in Tx (home of Circle E), so I'm sure that's why.I have always mixed this one myself & have been told over & over that mine is either dead-on or better than Circle E. I saw Candlebuddy posted a mix & I've seen several versions, but in case you want another -- I use equal portions of Strawberries-N-Cream & Pomegranate. Also, I've used several different suppliers for each fo & no one has ever mentioned thinking the scent smells different & I have about 6 customers that buy almost nothing but this scent.As a side note: it always drives me crazy when someone says their BOP smells JUST like the flower. The BOP flower has NO scent!! This was a signature scent made up by Circle E that took off like crazy & now everyone tries to copy it. Not one of my favs, but I love selling it.Susan.

TxSioux Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Sorry, Classylady -- you posted the same mixture & I somehow missed it - duh. So I guess I should say: I agree w/ Classylady! Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I use equal portions of Strawberries-N-Cream & Pomegranate. Also, I've used several different suppliers for each fo & no one has ever mentioned thinking the scent smells different & I have about 6 customers that buy almost nothing but this scent. Susan.I have a Pomegrante from Tenn and I never thought it smelled like much but maybe mixed it would. Have always wanted a Strawberry n Cream like Party Lite so if I could find that I could use in both. Any suggestions ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I also think Pomegranate is a stinker by itself & would have no use for it alone. I just ran out of Strawberries-N-Cream, so I'll just throw it on the next order I place w/ whoever has it in stock. Wish I could help you more, but I've never had a problem w/ that fo from any supplier - just stick w/ a supplier you like that has quality products. This is a breeze to mix up & you can use the Strawberries-N-Cream by itself for a 2nd scent in your line -- go for it.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscentsaromas Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 TxSioux, did you keep the name BOP? or have you changed it. We are in Louisiana and tried to skirt around not making BOP or a dupe...not gonna happen. Everyone loves the candles we are making but are still going to buy BOP ...so if ya can't beat'em...join'em...we use the same mix and it is dead on. Heard that from some loyal BOP lovers! We renamed it Blue Hawaii ....and instead of pink with dark chunks...we went with light blue with dark blue chunks. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm in Texas too. Its a great seller. I keep the name so its recognizable. Peaks is #1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I absolutely kept the name -- that's what they're looking for. I can't imagine selling as many BOP candles w/ another name. I used to check the trademark website regularly, but haven't lately - so as far as I know, it's not a registered trademark name. I have thought about this though & if I had to, I would rename it Sweet Bird of Paradise -- many 'old school' gardeners refer to the plant as such. I say, ride the wave as far as it will take you!!Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyK Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I tried Peaks and liked it but I didn't get a good throw in C-3. I also tried mixing the Strawberried-n-Cream and Pomegranate and didn't like it and I have a Circle E Bird of Paradise Candle here. Maybe it was the Pomegranate and Strawberry oils and I can't remember where I got them from at this point. I may have to give Peak's another shot. Maybe I need to let it cure longer because I don't have a problem with Peak's oils usually. Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
