deb426 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Does anyone have any recommendations for a killer cinnamon? I am looking for a very strong cinnamon that doesn't smell like red hot candies and doesn't have a food scent mixed in (like cinnamon buns). I have tried CS, NG, Lebermuth, Candlesandsupplies.com, and Peaks. I'm going broke:( !Any ideas?Thanks,Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Did you try Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice from CandlesandSupplies? That's what I use and I like it a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I did get that one, Starr, but I wasn't real happy oob. I will try it in wax since you have suggested it. Do your customers like it? For some reason, cinnamon is my biggest seller year round. I'm not a big spice person but I go with what sells. Right now I am using Lebermuth at 2 ounces pp. Yep, that's what I said. I have to do that just to get any scent. Cold throw is not too bad but HT is mediocre. Has anyone ever gone higher that 2 oz pp on a scent? I would think it would just sweat right out. (Not to mention the cost)Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just By Nature has a good Cinnamon Stick, or KY's Warm & Cozy is a cinnamon blend and a good thrower, but my favorite is Sweetcake's Cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I had decent results with it through the cooler season but this was also the first year I had it. I would say I was happy with how it sold at vending events. I haven't tried going over 2oz pp but I'm thinking if you've got to use even that much, it's probably NOT the right FO for you.

R.S. Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I am burning BCN's Wick Your Wax Cinnamon Stick right now and it's quite nice. If you decide to try, be sure to wick up quite a bit and use less than your normal amount... otherwise you'll drown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 After trying many cinnamon FOs from many companies, I always end up with Peaks, and therefore won't go anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I ditto Peaks it is awesome very strong but not a red hot cinnamon.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mptex Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I like cinnamon stick from The Scented Bean.Smells just like a cinn stick, to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Willow woods Country Cinnamon is really nice also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedLuxuries Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 My favorite cinnamon is Cinnamon Crunch. I'm also a big fan of Vanilla Crunch. I get those 2 from The Candle Source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves'sHomemade Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I've made two batches of Peak Cinnamon Buns and have re-ordered the scent as everyone who has smelled it burning has liked it.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieTX Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I use Cinnamon Stick from TCS. It doesn't have a food smell or a Red Hot smell to it. Just straight up Cinnamon and it's strong in paraffin. You do have to wick up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I use cinnamon stick from NG i tried several and found this to be the best i found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for everyone's input. I'm leaning towards BCN Wick Your Wax Cinnamon Stick for my next order. Also perhaps TCS. I have found that with most cinnamons, I have to wick up quite a bit. However, I always thought that that the amount of dye I put in clogged the wick a little because I try to get that dark burgundy color (without the fuscia tint that cinnamon oil sometimes brings out).Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Ditto on TN cinnamon stick,it is a great scent, evryone likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think if you use Millcreeks cinnamon vanilla, you will get what you want. It is not the sweet red hots kind. And the vanilla would blend right in. Very good seller alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtohaley2004 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I use Cinnamon Surprise from BCS and it smells great both oob and in IGI 6006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccajo99 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am also looking for a good cinnamon. I am using Peaks right now and 1 oz pp in eco soya 135. I am getting a good hot throw, but I feel like it smells chemically instead of like cinnamon. Since it seems like people like peaks, maybe I'm doing something wrong with it. Any suggestions??? My jar is a 9 oz hex jar and not using any dye or additives. CD wicksThanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I use Cinnamon Sticks from JS and it is the best I have tried. Of course I use paraffin so don't know how it will do in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karyn Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Bluegrass' ~ Burnin' Love Cinnamon is a great cinnamon!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countyline Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I use Millcreek Cinnamon Stick, thanks to recommendations on this board. I started at 1.5 oz per lb in my parasoy blend, and the candle is so strong, it gags me. I have to cut back! That VERY rarely happens to me. I like 'em to run me out of the house!

sassyQ Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I use Alabaster's cinnamon stick. IMO it is a true cinnamon and that's all. Very strong. But, I use paraffin so............. It's weird, but that sells year round for me too for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bluegrass' ~ Burnin' Love Cinnamon is a great cinnamon!!!!I love BG's Burnin' Love Cinnamon but I think it smells like a sweet cinnamon red hot candy. Very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
