TheWickedWick Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Looking for really, really strong Peppermint FO (candy cane-ish) and Cinnamon FO for my tarts. I use KY's tart/votive blend. I've tried AH Cinnamon-Vanilla and that was pretty mild. Not enough cinnamon for my taste. Tried CS's Cinnamon Sticks..it was okay but something was a bit off (IMO). All the peppermints from AH don't indicate it's really strong and I need really strong.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Peak has a super strong Peppermint and an awesome Cinnamon. I haven't put them in the KY parasoy yet, though, but I plan on it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatlinPM Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Peak's peppermint is perfect if you want a smack you in the face strong peppermint. It's the type that makes your nose tingle and opens your sinuses. I actually really like it but it didn't sell well for me. I've already started selling Bert's Candy Cane this year which smells like peppermint but without the sharpness too it, it actually seems to mellow out once its cured. It has been selling really well for me! For cinnamon my new favorite is AH Cinnamon Styx, I have tried a ton of cinnamon fragrances and this one to my nose is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet.

TheWickedWick Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for all the suggestions...just ordered from AH Red Hot Cinnamon, Cinnamon Stix, Candy Cane and plain Peppermint. We'll see how they go. Surely one of them will work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWickedWick Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sharon...AH's Peppermint worked great in my tarts and even used it to make Goat's Milk Peppermint-Oatmeal M&P soap. Finally settled on AH's Cinnamon Styx. Still wasn't as strong as I was looking for but it will work. The Candy Cane was also good...smells just like one! Still searching for that perfect cinnamon... Recently tried KY's Peppermint Patty. Made me want to go out and buy a box of Thin Mints!! Yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Peaks Purely Peppermint is super strong. I've mixed it with cinnamon before to make some awesome pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 i add just a touch of spearmint to the peppermint to take the edge off, but you have to be careful cause the spearmint will take it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
