TFCbrooke Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm trying to keep my line-up small - and varied. I've researched on here and that's how I came up with a couple of these scents - a couple I already have used and want to keep. But I need some advice on a few...these will be in soaps (CP &/or HP) and wax tarts.Already used and keeping...*Christmas Splendor (MC)*Pumpkin Souffle (MC)Need advice on where to get...*Frankensence/Mhyrr (?)*a peppermint *a christmas tree/pine - I was thinking the Christmas Tree from CSAlso - this one sounds the best to me for cranberry, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Yankee's Cranberry Chutney and would maybe rather have a dupe of that (but from where??)*Cranberry Marmelade (CS) Planning on getting but have never used...*Hansel & Gretel's House (NG)*Dutch Apple Pie (MC)TIA~brooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Since you already order from mc, have you tried their.Frankincense & myrrhMint candy caneMistletoe or white pine. Balsam & spice is great also. CS's cranberry marmalade is great, so is mc's spiced cranberryCs's hansel & gretels house is awesome. You can't go wrong with mc's dutch apple pie.

Candlebuddy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Since your already buying from 2 awesome suppliers, I would order a sample of the new fo's you want from either/both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 CS Pumpkin Souffle, Cranberry Marmalade, and Hanzel & Gretels House are great oils. I have those on my fall line up as they have always been good sellers for me. I would also add their Mistletoe and Holly Berry. CS Mistletoe is my fav oil. Lastly, I was dissapointed in CS Frank & Myrrh so you may want to find it elsewhere.For a peppermint I would do a candy cane, winterwonderland, or jack frost type scent but don't know who carries the good ones.I love the christmas tree oil from Fillmore Containers. Its an awesome xmas tree and smells exactly like the one at the old Tradewinds company. Another super oil is Elements/flickers Christmas Pines renamed Rocky Mtn Pine. I use it year round in my soap but sell a ton during the holidays.I also sell a lot of gingerbread and love the Honey Gingerbread from BW. They also carry a Pumpkin Gingerbread and a Gingerbread Latte that are awesome. So for a good gingerbread I use BW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCbrooke Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Candybee - thanks! I do love pumpkin souffle - I have a melt going right now of it in the kitchen. YUM. I'll have to check out the mistletoe. I have some jack frost from CS (I thikn that's where)...I'm just not in love with it - to me it almost smells like there is pine in it but that's not in the description. :who knows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) To my nose mcs pumpkin souffle & candle sciences smell the same.I could not keep up with orders of ics's pumpkin creme brulee last year.

tmarcusen Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Regarding a dupe to YC's Cranberry Chutney...I just poured AH's Cranberry (CherMark formulation) into soyblend tarts last night & it smells very very similar to YC's Cranberry Chutney. It is skin safe...I want to put it into some lotion or soap for myself. Edited August 15, 2010 by tmarcusen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katcandlemaker Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I love love CS's Cranberry Marmalade and its a huge seller for me every year....I usually keep it on hand throughout the year because I have some who want it all year long.

TFCbrooke Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 well I ended up with the cranberry marmalade and I'm happy enough with it that it's the cranberry I'm going to use - given it works great in everything after testing!!
