soshiegirl Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have not smelled the lotion you are referring to but I do love Daystar's Buttercream Frosting. IMO, it's the best out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarynjms Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I also use Jaqua's. DaystarSupplies "buttercream frosting" is the closest thing out there to it. I must have tried ten different ones, maybe more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycrazy Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh great, thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina J Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Daystar's is by far the best out there. It smells pretty darn close to Jaqua's. Maybe even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KukiKat Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have not smelled the lotion you are referring to but I do love Daystar's Buttercream Frosting. IMO, it's the best out there I agree, all others have a really weird fakey note that is just not realistic. This is the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen lynn Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Snowtop buttercream frosting is good also (now available @ ICS)....Haven't tried Daystars yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyK Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Daystar's is the best! Snowtop's is very strong but not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellywax Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I agree as well...I have tried many and Daystar's is the best for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Daystar's is the best! Snowtop's is very strong but not as good.I have to second this. I originally thought Snowtop was similar, but after making lotions the other day, there was a significant difference between the two, yes Snowtop was strong, but definitely not as true as the DS version. I actually didn't care for Snowtops at all in lotion, and when we tried DS, it was dead on perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane23 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i don't know about for lotion, but i just made some candles with cajun candle's buttercream crunch and it stinks really bad!! maybe someone will like it but i sure don't. guess that's why i should buy samples before i get the big bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm trying to find one that smells dead on so far I haven't found the right one. Jaqua makes this awesome buttercream frosting lotion and I would love to find a fo that smells like that Soy - I'm assuming, based on your name, that you are wanting it for soy candles? I'm not dissing Daystar, I'm a Daystar fan myself, but for soy candles, Blue Grass's Buttercream Frosting has an incredible throw. The buttercream frosting is one of the few from DS that I haven't tried because my quest for the perfect BF ended at Blue Grass. I have the Jaqua bath gel, myself, and really love it:) I'm curious now about DS's because of all the + reviews here. If any of you have tried both DS and BG's, please let me know so I can get some with my next order! TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun's oils are pretty concentrated. If you still have it, melt it down and add more wax. You might change your mind. I say this from personal experience. To this day I get sick just at the mention of Pink Sugar because I used SW's at 9% with soy. Hate when I do that. Cinamon buns is another one I loved until I made it too strong, and yeah, stinky.

essence4me Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I know this thread is old, but if anyone has since found a buttercream f.O. that smells like Jaqua's Buttercream Frosting, I will have found my holy grail fragrance. It was because of Jaqua that I ended up in the bath & body business, I wanted to do the same but also add a larger variety of fragrances to my products. I am currently using Daystar's which I would have to say is the closest one, but am always searching... In my opinion, Jaqua has the perfect buttercream fragrance nailed.

Candybee Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I've only tried the one from CS but it smells exactly like the real deal to me. Don't know if it compares to Jaqua as I never use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essence4me Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 UPDATE ON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING FO: I mentioned in an earlier post that I got into the B&B business after coming across JAQUA'S line of buttercream fragranced creams and lotions some years back. What I did not know once I got into this business is that searching for the perfect buttercream fragrance would be such an undertaking! I can't even tell you how many vanillas and buttercream FO's I have in my collection. I came closest to that magnificent sweet scent when I found Daystar and although I was happy with it overall, there seemed to be something missing. I then tried the buttercream at Bluegrass and I found that it's the closest to Jaqua's version that I've come across to date. I also did a blind scent/smell test on my fellow guinea pigs (friends & family) comparing the BG fragrance in a cream along with creams with the version from Daystar, and then had them compare it to the original Jaqua Buttercream body butter, and out of 8 testers all but one thought that the BG cream came closest to the one from Jaqua. http://www.jaquabeauty.com/I sure hope this helps someone out there, although in the fragrance business, it is still always a matter of personal taste. Fragrance is such a subjective thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
