gmp Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Does anyone else think that Strudel and Spice from CandleScience and Amish Harvest from Peaks smell very, very similar. I'm wondering if it's just me. Thanks for any comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I have never smelled either of those but I have found some other scents from different companies with different names to sell alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizimarezie Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Strudel & Spice from CandleScience is my absolute favorite FO! I have a bottle of Amish Harvest from Peaks was sent to me as a sample. Just a sniff from the bottle tells me that it's a wee bit muskier than Strudel & Spice. But used in wax, that might not be the case. I'm working with some samples this week so I'll do that one, too. Will come back here and post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmp Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 I figured I'd post a follow-up in case anyone was interested. I made both candles, and while they are similar, the amish harvest is definitely muskier, the strudel and spice is sweeter. But since I love Strudel and Spice so much it turns out that I don't really care for the amish harvest after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I just got around to testing Amish Harvest yesterday and let it cure over night. Yes...it's definately muskier than Strudel & Spice. I prefer CandleScience's Strudel & Spice. IMO, CS's a perfect dupe of Gold Canyon's "Strudel & Spice" candle. But it's amazing to me that no other FO supplier has tried to duplicate this scent.

julie c Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have both, and they are very different to my nose. Amish Harvest is more bakery, and strudel and spice is more cinnamon to me. Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmp Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 I love the feedback. Thanks so much!Can I ask a follow-up question? Do all of you who use this scent in candles find that you can get good scent throw with 6% or do you use more? My nose is not very trustworthy at this point, but I am finding that I may need to use more than 6% to get it to throw strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
