PSPjen Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am looking at ordering a few things from CS for the first time, and lord knows I absolutely have to order a few fo samples everytime I buy supplies (absolutely NO willpower or self control over here! ) So what is your CS must have FO (I use CB 135 for my containers) The cranberry marmalade and Hansel and Gretels House look yummy. I also need some 'spa' type fragrances and am looking at Asian Amber, Rain Water - ah heck there are about 20 I could easily order! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logcabinmomma Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I forgot Sage and Pomegranate... that's a good "green" scent too. A little lighter than some of the others, but an awesome combo!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabanana's candles Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 1. Very Vanilla.. be prepared to wick up2. Lemon VerbenaI found that in 464 I didn't have to wick up on very vanilla. Huh???I recomend Cranberry Marmalade also, it is wonderful. In all honesty I haven't found one from them that I didn;t like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tereasa Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've never had one of their two- or three-leaf rated FO's not work in soy. There are some I personally don't care for... but they all had good throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunkie68 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Violet Lime. This one sells like mad in tarts and bath/body, and I like it a lot more than I thought I would (I only tried it because people were asking about violet scents!).

gmp Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My favorite by far is Strudel and Spice. It is a sweeter version of Peaks Amish Harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I 'second' their Strudel & Spice. It's an absolute favorite! I also like their:Peach (incredibly real!)Hansel & Gretel's House (awesome hot & cold throw!)Lavender Vanilla (one of my best sellers!)Rain Water (unique, refreshing scent!)

islandgirl Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Don't forget the Cinnamon Buns... MMMMMM GOOD!!I have to use a little more oil in my soy wax with this one, BUT boy does it throw!!! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Honeysuckle Jasmine is one of my must haves for both candles and soap. I also mix it with their red rose to make Honeysuckle Rose and its a big seller for me.Their Cinnamon Red Hots is also strong and so is the Creme Brulee. Both super strong in soy.My new fav is the Very Vanilla. I use it alone and to mix with other oils to create new fragrances. Its a keeper too.Haven't tried their Cranberry Marmalade yet but its on my list.I also have a sample of the Chocolate Milk that smells yummy OOB but haven't put it in wax or soap yet.

Violetsexoticcandles Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Asian Amber- I got a sample and put it in palm wax- it's lovely! I'm gonna get a pound next time I order wax.Wildberry MousseWhite Tea & BerriesHansel & Gretels house- blows ordinary gingerbread right outta the water! Very sweet, though... so if sweet isn't your thing... this is a great seller, though! Chocolate FUdge- very strong scent. I mixed this with chocolate chunks and cherries/raspberry embeds... Smelled awesome and sold fast.ChardonnayMoonlake Musk- LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Def am gonna get this sometime soon.Violet Lime- gonna add this to my line soon.... gotta have a violet for violet Lovespell- I like it, don't know if I'll add it or not though.Golden Rose was a nice one- a change from your reg rose scentPumpkin Souffle- definitely replacing my other pumpkin fo with this one when the other one runs out... yummy!OOB, blueberry cobbler was great, but once put in wax, I was a bit disappointed with it. Same with mediteranean fig- cold throw was okay, but not too thrilled with the hot throw. Plumeria was another disappointment- I have not found one to replace Cajun's yet. Sigh.

Tereasa Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Both blueberry cobbler and med fig threw wonderfully for me... both in 444 and in 70/30, 7%, cd wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow maybe I'll just try burning one at a time to see if it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Med fig worked great for me in 464.I have a question about White Tea and Berries- I don't do musk and I'm afraid that the white tea might be the musk kind... anyone give me a heads up on this one??? I have the sample and I'm SO adverse to musk that I haven't poured it yet.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Mistletoe is very strong ... I rename it for spring/summerBrandied Pear ... another strong one, a sweet pear, I don't smell brandyStrawberry ... love this strawberry, another great thrower & good mixerBanana Nut Bread ... strong and the best I've triedFresh Coffee ... an awesome coffee, I mix it 50/50 with Creme Bruleeflorals ... all are strong, except Lavender Cucumber Sage is light That's all I can think of right now ... I use 8% in 50/50 soy blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbledoya Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Get yourself some Mistletoe to test for next year~~awesome~Like others have mentioned--Violet LimeRainwaterCaramelized PralineHoneysuckle JasmineMimosa and Mandarin--has 2 leafs, is actually very strong at 8% in my 6006--smells like a fresh pineapple/orange scentBanana Nut Bread--wow!!! Smells like the real thing!Cinnamon Stick--a great, straight cinnamon scentVery Vanilla--very strong, not a buttery vanilla. Plus I didn't have to wick up either??And their customer service is excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm noticing that many of CS's oils you cannot judge OOB and sometimes even until after a day or two cure in wax. Pumpkin Souffle's burnt note changes into the butteriest, creamiest note. LoveSpell's nasty crayon and koolaid notes really diminish and change into something less repulsive (I don't like it much to start with lol). Blackberry Marmalade has a funny off note not unlike a tobacco UNTIL it's in wax and cured. All the funky scents mellow into what layers into awesome, complex fragrances that THROW. BUT they can start out smelling downright ODD!Still hoping for a musk check on White Tea and Berries.... :lipsrseal -Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
