pumpkin souffle

[Lightning Bug]

Put this on the temporary forum, but now it's back up, so...Anyone tried Candle Science's new Pumpking Souffle (not sure I spelled that right, but to lazy to check)? I am still looking for a scent that really smells like pumpkin pie (not just the spices) and one that really smells like apple pie. Many seem sort of artificial to me...lol...of course they are, duh! TIA. Beth

I tested Pumpkin Souffle from Candle Science, and unfortunately, it has a burnt smell to me. I used 8% in 50/50 soy blend wax.

I just got a sample of this fragrance from CS over the weekend, it smells pretty good oob. I am going to make some votives in the next couple of days and test them to see how they smell. I hope I don't get the burnt smell that I've been seeing in alot of reviews from others on this board. :undecided Hopefully in Ecosoya PB I won't get the burnt smell...wish me luck!!

For a great apple pie fo try Peaks Warm Apple Pie. I've had good luck with it in the past and it smells just like the real thing, it makes me want to get a scoop of vanilla ice cream to put on the side!!

I just made some tarts with pumpkin souffle at 7.5% in my 415, the scent is pretty good, however, I smell lots of graham notes and not much pumpkin.

I tested it against 2 other pumpkin oils and yes it does smell burnt.

Here's my post from the temp forum:

Ok, I burned the pumpkin souffle from CS yesterday after a week of curing in pure soywax and let me tell ya, ICK! It doesn't have a very pleasant scent at all. I kept going up to it and waving my hand over the candle to get better whiffs of the scent and I kept smelling a burnt smell, almost like a burnt hair smell! Not a good scent at all. But the cranberry marmalade is to die for!

I am in the minority here but I like the pumpkin souffle in CB135. I also mixed it with sugar cookie and it smells soooo good cold. I am going to start burning this one today so will update later.

I didn't try the CS pumpkin Souffle but I tried Fillmores. The OOB reminded me of Backwoods Grammys Yummy Punkin. But when I poured it into my wax 415 it smelled totally different. It smelled odd. I haven't burnt it yet though.

I have tried JS Pumpkin Bread which is sweet, when lit I don't smell pumpkin at all.

JS Pumpkin Nog, smells good. You can smell the pumpkin with a little spice in it.

JS Pumpkin Cheesecake, smells like pumpkin and vanilla throw was good.

Peaks Sweet Pumpkin Pie, didn't appeal to me oob or in wax. Threw well though.

C&S Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, didn't appeal to me oob or in wax.

SOS (Ultimate) Pumpkin Pie, oob and in wax, I really liked this one, testers seemed to think it was a nice Pumpkin Pie.

SOS (ultimate) Pumpkin Pie Sweet it smells exactly like NG's Pumpkin Pie like a dull pumpkin smell if that makes any sense.

I bought a sample of pumpkin souffle from CS and it has been curing for four days..I lit it this morning and already blew it out! It definately smells burnt..The burnt hair smell someone said earlier is dead on.I am so glad I didn't get a larger bottle..Looks like alot of other companies have this same NEW oil on their sites as well..Not a good pumpkin scent in my opinion..Why is it SO hard to find a pumpkin pie,sugar cookie & gingerbread that throws and smells true??I have just about given up on trying to find these oils..Not really,but you would think these different suppliers would come up with these three scents sooner or later....that actually smell good and strong and are true to their names...Karen~

Scent Works Spiced Pumpkin Souffle is to die for. Sells in soaps, candles, anything. My customers love it.

Tennessee Candle Supplies has a new "pumpkin souffle" that I am burning in my kitchen as I type, it smells soooo good. I use paraffin

[Lightning Bug]

Thanks to all the responses. I guess I will stay away from CS's and try one of the other suggestions. I don't need another burnt smell...cooking dinner and doing other things often results in this! Thanks again. Beth

I am burning one from CS right now and I do not smell anything burnt. I used only 6% in a soy paraffin blend. I really smell something creamy, and not overly spice.

[Candlebuddy]

I cut back on my fo %, and I still got that "odd" note. It's not a fuel smell, but rather a toasted smell ... not good to my nose.

I have been testing TCS - pumpkin souffle and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it but haven't been able to get it wicked. I have gone up 3 sizes without luck and for now have put it on the back burner (so to speak) while testing others. I use a parasoy blend - may I ask what wick choice you selected?

[PurpleHippie]

After I quit burning it I could still smell it and others commented that it was nice and not just the typical thick spice scent you get from most pumpkin candles. I really like it and would have to say it's my favorite pumpkin that I have tested so far. However, some people do like that heavy spice scent so I think I might make a spicy one as well. I am usualy the first if not the only one to pick up on something odd in an FO and I really don't with the one from CS. Funny how all sniffers are different:) !
