I am pouring a sample tonight!Brandied Pear~This is a great pear scent with a touch of brandyEnglish Garden~Very nice clean and fresh floralTuscan Melon Apricot~I was not sure I would like this one but wow! This one has a bite to it!Asian Amber~Great! I am not good at describing but the best of all the amber fragrances I have smelled! I am pouring a sample tonight!

Judy, USMC Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for the review. I know some are 3 leaf and some are only 2 so I'll be looking forward to your reviews - after they cure of course! Will it be in soy, or palm, or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I got the Pumpkin Souffle and Asian Amber yesterday, too. I really wanted to at least do some tarts or votives last night, but it's so freaking hot here that I didn't want to turn on any additional heat source. I use 4625 for tarts and votives.

logcabinmomma Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I want to hear more about the Brandied Pear- I love spiced pear scents, but alot of the "brandied" scents are WAY too overpowering on the alcohol... Let me know how that one goes!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I made the Asian Amber last night. I thought it smelled really good, reminded me a bit of a man's fragrance but can't pinpoint which it was. Then my husband and son came into the house and both of them said at the same time...Gee smells like you spilled laundry detergent in here. Ok, that ruined it for me...now all I can smell is laundry soap! Isn't it weird how our minds work! I'm still going to give one to a tester to see if she likes it.

kandlekrazy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 JMO, but all I smell is spice in the Pumpkin Souffle...it smells good, but I don't smell pumpkin. Everyone will probably have a different opinion on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmp Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Can you smell pumpkin now that it's in wax?While I am still getting to know the scent, yes, I can, but it's not a strong pumpkin, it's more of a pleasant spice scent, (I think that the name really helps me pick up pumpkin scent). I really like it. I will burn it on Sunday night. Travel plans are interfering with my candle burning plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharig Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 See now I got the pumpkin souffle and I smelled vanilla in with it and it didn't smell at spicey to me at all. JMO.Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharig Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ya think??? Hmm....now watch next time I burn it, I will think of burnt pumpkin! LOL! Thanks alot! Will wait for the hubby to get back from buisness trip and see what he says. He's always honest. Sometimes too honest. But from now until them I'm thinking a burnt pumpkin. Hey what about the cranberry marmalade? I know it's not new, but figured I would try it. Anybody like it?TIAShari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 That's what someone said about Tennessee's version, I wonder if they are the same?? I sniffed ea. bottle tonight, but was pouring at the time, and had major candle nose, so I couldn't tell...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenOH Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I use TCS's Pumpkin Souffle and when I first started burning it to me it did smell like it was burnt. But it seems to lose that after curing a bit longer. My testers are in love with the scent and they couldn't detect any burnt smell.Hopefully the CS version will do the same.BTW...IMO they are identical OOB.

Candlebuddy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 My pumpkin is still curing, but while I was pouring, it reminded me of a sweet, creamy pumpkin ... a nice mellow blend of spice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
