camoflauge Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 ok, i know there was another post going about ICS best scents, but i didn't want to clog it up since i didn't know what wax they used.I'm looking to order snowtops cranberry spice scent and would like to order a few more of snowtops and some of ICS too.I use soy wax and a soy lotion base - and i prefer the bakery, food, drink, fruity type scents, but i do need to add a few florals-even though i don't care much for florals, i need to have them available for customers.I've never tried anything from either company. I need to place an order shortly- i did notice however that their melonade and raspberry lemonade? are out of stock currently, so i may wait til they come back in-they sound good...Thanks!!!Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephsteph Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Snowtop's Key Lime Pie, Green Apple and Apricot Medley are awesome in soy. I don't use too many of the ICS scents but the Cinnamon Buns and Pink Sugar are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Heather, ALL of ICS juice bar oils have done really great in my 100% soy. I really like ICS fragrances and their prices are great too. I am a old member of snowtop, and only carried a few of their oils, due to most of them being just bakery scents, and their vanilla bliss not being a "PURE" vanilla. I only ordered small amts of the vanilla bliss, and use ICS's Vanilla Smoothie....Its one of the best vanillas I've tested.Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennhalcyon Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Snowtop Baked Apples is incredible and the honey gardenia is a great, strong floral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelleB Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I second Steph's recommendations on the Snowtop ones she listed (haven't tried the ICS). More great ones from Snowtop:Maple SugarCreamy Coconut PieGingerbread Cookies (OMG this stuff is STRONG in wax! Yummah!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladeanad Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 just wanted to add my two scents i haven't tried a snowtop scent that i didn't like.. if you like bakery you will love the creme brulee.. i renamed it "oreo cookie" or you could call it chocolate chip cookie.. its wonderful.. and scents my whole house within minutes of lighting.. i also have customers who will only buy the cranberry orange spice.. the lemon gumdrop is great.. lilac is so realistic is unbelievable. i truely don't think you will be unhappy with any of the scents.. i've tried them all.. the apple is great for fall.. and is a wonderful seller.. for lavender lovers.. true lavender is the bomb.. if you have any questions on any of the scents feel free to pm me.. i use 415 soy and htp 126 in my 8 oz jelly jars.. carmel nut cluster is awesome... though its a heavier oil... i sell alot of tarts in this one.. another bakery lover scent that can't be beat.. i'm truely happy as i think ics has wonderful.. wonderful scents so this is going to be great !!! Though i'm going to miss Angie terribly.. i'm happy Kathy has taken this on... Kathy has awesome customer service.. wonderful oils.. and now with snowtop scents.. i promise you... this is going to be heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I use a 50/50 soy blend ... love Snowtop ... the following are ones that I tested and really love: Peanut Butter CookiesOrange Chiffon CakeKey Lime PieCranberry Orange SpiceCaramel Nut ClusterMaple Sugar(I'm sure there's more, but this is off the top of my head.) Creamy Coconut Pie - cannot detect coconut, more like a butter cookie to my nose.Blueberry Muffin - to me, I detect a vinegar smell. I'm looking for a few to order from ICS too. I'd like to find a good strawberry. I hate to say it, but in my wax, ICS has been hit or miss for me. I do use their Pink Sugar and love it. If anyone has any suggestions for ICS ... I'd really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 michelleb ~ What type of wax do you use? I use JS 50/50 and after several attempts from other suppliers, I'm still looking for a great Gingerbread Cookie. So far they have all smelled horrid!Haven't tried Snowtop, but thought I'd ask about the wax first, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I haven't found a straight gingerbread that I like either. Some alternatives are Gingerbread Applesauce & Warm Orange Gingerbread (TN). Hansel & Gretel's House from Candlescience was a best seller for me during the holidays. This year I'm going to test Honey Gingerbread from Backwoods.

debscent Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The Honeyed Gingerbread is my first tester for Fall. OOB I fell in love with it, also Pumpkin Cornbread from Backwoods. I'm hoping for a good gingerbread too. Candles & Supplies had a great "gingersnap cookies" that threw fantastic in my blend, but I don't use them anymore, I have boycotted them forever.

leisa2003 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Cherokemaiden, Snowtop carried 100% soy wax, all her oils were tested in soy wax. I am sure they work in about all the waxes, except gel wax. Its just a matter of if you like the fragrance or not. My "MAIN" supplier is www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com their oils come in dark glass bottles, which carries a longer shelf life, and no leakage possibilities. Shipping isn't bad either.Good Luck!!!Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Coffee Bean, Buttercream Frosting, and Fresh Pear from ICS are great! And the Sugared Spruce is super for the holidays :smiley2: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm on a boycott too. I have a simple policy when it comes to suppliers ... I never buy from someone who doesn't appreciate my business. Bad customer service and rudeness fall into that catagory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thanks Leisa ~ I'll check out that website. I do like the darker bottles too.I haven't tried Backwoods Honey Gingerbread yet, but that is on my list. All Connie's other FO's I have are just awesome in 50/50. I know I'll like that one to. Funny, that we are already talking about holiday scents.Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafter Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Don't forget about Snowtops Melon Mist. I really like that one. I also like the Vanilla Bliss but was thinking about the Vanilla Smoothie from ICS. Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 HeatherICS's Cinnamon Buns [newer version] is my all time favorite CB in soy. The frosting and buttery notes come thru like no other.Her new Danish is incredible too. Ironically, it reminds me of the one Snowtops had for a short period of time. I'm so glad it was brought back!Apricot medley is a very nice scent, but can't come close to Farmhouse's French Apricot, IMO, if you're looking for a great apricot.Snowtop's honey gardenia and key lime are great.
