so-soy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I haven't used KY in a couple of years now, but the oils I used in the past were always good. They usually worked well in my soywax. If you do a search here you will find alot of opinions, also, KY has their own message board on their website and you can get some opinions on scents there also. I just can't think of any of her oils at the moment..LOL..I just know I used them and they worked well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I've only tried a few from there, but a little birdy told me that Creme Brulee, Lilac and Summer Breeze are must haves. I have Fresh Cut Roses (strong but a true rose!), Frosted Snowdrops, Teaberry, Honeysuckle Jasmine, and Gardenia and they all are very nice too.

Jami Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The Cherry Slush and Amaretto are STRONG I used 1.2 oz and my candle smelled like chloraseptic burning. My tarts would make your eyes water. I backed down to .8 oz per pound and it was MUCH better.Strawberry taffy smelled good enough to eat but it didn't throw well for me in soy. I still haven't figured out why I bought sweet and creamy but I did. Soon as I figure out what I can mix it with to have a blend of something, I will try it lolThe other's I have tried have been covered by others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokymountainraine Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Orange Chiffon Cake and Coconut Cream Pie that I mix half and half for a wondeful scent. I also like their coffee...is it Roasted Coffee or Fresh Roasted Coffee? Anyway it is a great one. I really like it mixed with chocolate and a touch of vanilla and orange.

Tina J Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Their Toasted Marshmallow and Creme Brulee are awesome! I was searching for both for awhile and now the search is over! The toasted marshmallow is sweeter than most and doesn't have quite as much of that "burnt" note in it. Most creme brulee's that I tried just didn't smell like actual creme brulee. This is the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm thinking of ordering 'Midnight Pomegranate' to have for Valentine's Day, so I'm looking for other recs from Kentucky. Found this thread too:http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15256&highlight=kentuckySo if you've got anything to add to this thread, I'm all ears! (or eyes, as the case may be.....) Someone in the 'Midnight Pomegranate' thread mentioned 'Downy Rose Vanilla' so I will be checking that one out.Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Someone in the 'Midnight Pomegranate' thread mentioned 'Downy Rose Vanilla' so I will be checking that one out.I think I said that wrong. It's probably "Downy Rose and Violet"! Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 My favorites from them are Strawberry Parfait, Cinna-Vanilla, and Lavender Vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuepie Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Their plumberry spice is to die for. Country gift shop is also another good one. I cannot keep the midnight pomegranate for long. As soon as I make the candles and tarts they vanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thekrkndls Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 KY oils are great! Vickey has some excellent FO's, which we primarily use. Now some of that may change since we stumbled across CT a few weeks ago and have starting testing FO's from a few of the other popular suppliers mentioned here.Here are some of the KY FO's that we've tried in our paraffin/soy blend:Caramel Pecan Pie - Super strong throw, good luck finding a wax that this one wont throw in. One of our personal favoritesB-Day - Another great throwerMidnight Promegrante - our favorite version so farSugar Cookie - Excellent throw, I smell a little more spice than most. We decided on BCS's sugar cookie, but KY's is a VERY close second. In fact, I doubt most customers would notice a difference.CinnaVanilla - OMG, perfect OOB!! However, the hot throw has a slightly different scent. Still good, but I like the scent OOB better.Strawberry Taffy - just like the real thing - great throwMandarin Spice - WOW, you have to try this oneG-mas Kitchen - Great throw, but didnt personally like the scent. Apple Clove Butter - Nice fall scent, great throw, more of a mulled cider to me.Gift Shoppe - Excellent throw, nice scent. Maybe one of the hardest FO's we've ever had to wick though.Hot Apple Pie - The best HAP we've found, and a best seller year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbledoya Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Recently tested these in 6006 from KY~~~~Red Tea--I love it. A fresh strong tea. I think the description says something about currants, but I smell grapefruit--smells awesome.Southern Vanilla--Another strong thrower. I say vanilla milkshake, husband says cake lol.Midnight Pomegranate--Strong throw once again--smells exactly like BBW's.Will definitely buy the Red Tea and Midnight Pomegranate--still want to try CS's Very Vanilla before I make a decision on KY's.

Sharon in PA Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I just bought samples of her Coconut Cream Pie, and Grandmother's Toddy~~~OMG! The CC PIe is YUM!!!!!!! I am NOT a huge coconut fan at all, but this oil is so bakery, buttery, creamy, just delicious! I hurried it into a jar to test, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed...then I want to try it mixed with that Orange Chiffon or whatever that other oil was that some of you folks mixed it with, that is a must try... AND the Grandmother's Toddy is good too, poured that into tarts, very nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
