ISO Fresh(not mulled) Apple Cider FO

[Cissy]

I have spent so much $$$ and time trying to find the perfect cider FO. Before I started candlemaking, I use to put fresh apple cider, slices of fresh orange, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a simmering pot and my house smelled sooooo wonderful during the holidays. I ordered a bottle of WYW and BCN regular line of mulled cider and really dislike a mulled scent. I have a bottle of Fresh Apple FO from BCN I bought first of this year, but it has turned rancid. I already have cinnamon, clove, orange FO's, so could blend this myself if I could just find a great apple. I have CS's McIntosh apple, but just don't like the McIntosh scent. Where can I find the best tart, fresh red apple FO to blend or a fresh apple cider that will smell close to the blend I use to put in my simmering pot?

I blend my own, but make it more of a cinnamon cider as I dislike the citrus part, lol, but I am sure you could make your own! I use a Cinna-crunch, and Bert's Apple Cinnamon, which to me is more of a fresh apple cider smell more than a cinnamon apple smell...to me this makes an awesome cider!!

Just scent has a cinnamon cider that I love!!

Here is their description:

A strong, warm cinnamon and cider scent This is the first oil I can honestly say really smells like cinnamon cider without smelling mostly like apples. Excellent in soy and safe for bath and body.

Thanks, both of you. These FO's sound similar to what I'm searching for. I did try a Cinnamon Cider from another supplier and liked it ok, but not exactly what I was looking for and it didn't last long enough in tarts, even at a high FO load and with a low wattage warmer that didn't burn the FO off quickly. I'll have to give these two suppliers a try.

Bluegrass has the best cider ...called holiday cider it smells sooo GOOD!!

CS's Spiced Wassail sounds very similar to what you're looking for...

did you try BCN's Apple Juice in the Gel Aroma line? a lot of those fo's do great in soy and paraffin.

You could try a green apple. It smells like a good sweet apple. I mix my own too. It is a top seller. cinnamon, clove, apple and sweet orange.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm placing a wax order with CS Monday and will try

the Spiced Wassail 1 oz. I will also try the Apple Juice at BCN on my next order. I haven't yet ordered from Bluegrass or Just Scent, so haven't tried those. Debra, I do have some green apple from Snowtop I've had for a long while. Hope it's not too old. Now, to find it in my mountain of FO's I don't use. I really should post the newest FO's I'm not using in the classifieds. I think if I can just find a great apple FO I really like to blend with FO's I already have, I would have the fresh apple cider scent I'm ISO. I should have started getting my formula down pat before BCN's Fresh Apple turned rancid on me.

I won't drag around next year 'til the last minute lining up more fall and Christmas scents as I did this year. I've settled for a few scents to add I'm not thrilled with until I find better ones to replace them. Always trying to improve and find the "best" does get costly. I'm just too darn picky. I suppose I'd better start in January working on my 2008 Christmas scents.(LOL)
