classylady71118 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The Creme Brulee is a top seller for me (although some of you prefer Tristate, which I DID try and my customers nor I, didn't really see a difference?)HATE the Twigs & BerriesLOVE the Mountain Lake, Spiced Cranberries, Basil Sage Mint, Olive Blossoms, Lavender Basil...I know there are more....

macnmyer Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The Cuke Melon from BNL now sold at BCN is the best. If your looking for the best dupe of Love Spell you'll find it at Tenn Candle Supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarynjms Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 yum yum yum, got my fo's in today! Put all but 2 in wax already, and have fallen in love with:Voodoo LoveDoes the Voodoo Love really smell like true yellow roses, or do you find it to be more of a regular rose scent, like all the rest out there? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverm00n Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Does the Voodoo Love really smell like true yellow roses, or do you find it to be more of a regular rose scent, like all the rest out there? Thanks.Yes yes like yellow roses! Only other rose scent I smelt (besides real roses) was MC's Fresh Cut Roses. I had a yellow rose body lotion when I was younger, and this one smells just like it. Dh doesn't like it though.Does anyone else think that BCN's FO's smell more soapy? Like they were more meant for body stuff than candles? I'm disappointed in their stormwatch, peaks is way better, I think. I just don't want to pay shipping from colorodo or tenn since I live in IL. But it may be worth it to get some of the better scents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvcandlecrazy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Make sure you try BNL Cupid it is an amazing scent and a must have for Valentine's Day!Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I've not noticed a soapy-smell to their oils. I don't think their oils are focused toward b&b at all since they have info. on testing in soy wax...What does the BNL Cupid smell like? I'm curious about it, but the description isn't very appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Does anyone else think that BCN's FO's smell more soapy? Like they were more meant for body stuff than candles? the only one that i think is soapy is Mountain Lake...like a super killer fabric softener/clean soap on steroids. but no, they are geared towards candles and B&B equally.

gingerinarkansas Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I didn't care for Mountain Lake but noticed that most people gave it great reviews. It didn't sell well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoyCandleQueen Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I just poured a bunch of the Pink Sugar last week and to me this smells like baby powder more than the other scents. I used this scent in my breast cancer awareness candles. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they allow you to order more than 1 sample pack at a time?All Hallow's Eve ***Angel type *** VERY strong in soy. Wick up one in most cases due to the patchouli content. Apple Jack ***Apples-n-Oak ***Autumn Leaves ***Blue Sugar ***Brown Sugar Nutmeg *** Very strong but a little too much for me. It does not sell well in my market but sells great for others...go figure. LOLButter Rum Allspice *** VERY strong but VERY sweet! CaramelCedar & Saffron *** YES! This is my personal favorite scent. Have a wickless goin in my bathroom now and a wicked in my living room Christmas Cheer ***Cinnamon Stick *** Very cinnamon stick! No sweet notes like red hots. I love this but it does not do well in soy for me for some reason. The spice is my choice for a cinnamon. Love that one.Clove ***CoconutCoconut Bay Very weak for me in soy Coconut Cream Pie Outstanding in Soy. Very real, coconut, cream and crust. Oh side note, I don't like coconut but did like this one. Cotton Candy ***country berry hotcakes Very strong. Super sweet, I mix this with a bit of maple syrup for a more realistic hotcakes scent. Crushed Ginger ***Cupid *** I sell tons of this come V-tines day Sells great in CP year round Dream Weaver ***Fig Pudding *** This is my personal second favorite scent of all times. Blows doors off burns nose hairs at 1/2 oz per lb in soy.Harvest Very strong but needs to be added at 175, cured for two full weeks and needs to be wicked up.HayrideHeatherHoliday Spice MixHome Sweet HomeHoney Coco Mango The tropics come alive! Love this fo and it is killer in every product I've ever used it in.Jingleberry ***Licorice ***Log CabinMadagascar Spice Decieving name but a very alluring, almost haunting floral. I think it is a tad light in soy though...but I sold a lot of it. Mountain Lake I personally hate this scent but it is strong! It is definatly a love hate thing. All I can think of is Doneen and I blending 20 pounds of aroma beads in this in my dining room. The scent lingered for what seemed like a decade. LOLMulled Cider I prefer the WYW mulled cider Oak Moss *** Burn your nose hairs strong. Go lightly with this one!Old Fashioned Christmas ***Perfect Pumpkin ***Perfect Storm Pina ColadaPink Sugar I have the perfume and to me it is right on the $PomegranateSandalwood Vanilla This is my best seller in everything! It is light by nature, but strong considering if that makes sense. I love this scent!Spiced Cranberry YES YES YES! Excellent in soy! Needs a wicking up thoStorm Watch Too perfumey for me but it is strong!Sugar Cane Amazing! Such an alluring fragrance. Sweet but woody. I love itSweet DreamsTwigs & Berries Very very strong. One of the few sweet berry scents I love.Vanilla Bean Supreme ***Vanilla SpiceVanilla VelvetVoodoo LoveWitches Brew ***Yuletide *** LOVE this scent in everything! Very spicy and strong. May need to be wicked up.Ok. that is my input. Since I work for BC and make candles keep that in mind. I've tested quite a lot of the fo's they carry and most new ones in the past 5 years I have tested originally. But I don't want to decieve anyone since I do work there these are my personal opinions based on the candles I make and sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
