AlwaysWondering Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have a few. I tried the search function but it is still not working beyond 2008. Which is your favorite? Any I should avoid? So far I like Nature's Garden the best.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Berts is the best for me. I so enjoy their Pink Sugar. Cotton Candy smell to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The Scent Works has the most complex version IMO. Love it in CP, Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion... I remember trying it in votives a while back and it was pretty darned nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 i lov ICS..for soy candles, and soap...it does turn dark brown in cp soap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 AH/RA pink sugar is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Scent Works is my favorite; it's one of the strongest throwers of any oil I've tried. ICS' is close, and a little cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvyCandles Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 We use Peak! Have not found a close dupe in terms of strength. Millcreek seems close though. Candlemakersstore was not even close and I think we tried BCN but I'm not positive. Been meaning to try NG in general, may have to try theirs too...

JonB Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 i lov ICS..for soy candles, and soap...it does turn dark brown in cp soap..Indiana Candle Supply- Pink Sugar is awesome. performs very well in paraffin/soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzpickles Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I really like the one from Daystar, it's called Pink Kisses. It was the first I tried & I pretty much stopped looking after that. True to the original and a kick bootie hot & cold thrower in my 464 blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 My nieces think ICS is a great dupe. TennCS & Peak have Pink Sugar that is close to ICS IMO. I really liked SW too but I don't buy many oils from them now due to the price. I thought the one from NG wasn't as strong & it seemed sweeter. I tried BCN & Berts & didn't find them as strong as ICS. Also tried AH & it was good but not quite as strong as ICS. I tried so many in an attempt to keep only a few suppliers. I've only used it in CP soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 i'm using Natures Garden's right now.. waiting for a test batch of tarts from another Vendor (a friend who has their own business) If I like it, I'll be ordering the Pink Sugar from Save On Scents, and keep the Natures Garden's Pink Sugar to use for blends.

AlwaysWondering Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I always thought Save on Scents was better formulated to be used for bath and body although it could be used for candles, however, their claim to fame is for bath and body FO's. Am I mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I use Nature's Garden and it smells amazing. I haven't tried others though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I mistaken?I actually just ordered 2 pounds of SOS Pink Sugar [type] about 30 minutes ago...I like they they offer free shipping if you spend $100.. and 4 free 1 oz samples (you get to choose two of them) So i'm excited to see if it's better than Nature Gardens Pink Sugar.

rjdaines Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've only used the one from Peaks and it impressed me. Thought I would hate it but liked to so much I bought more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ICS is my vote, been using it exclusively for years!! Super Strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I actually posted this same question in the past on the board and I've tried over 8 different pink sugar dupes. I'm currently using the one from the Candle Source which is very similar to ICS, TCS, and Daystar's version (could probably get away with using these interchangeably) in my candles. NG and Maine-Erie are both good, too. I haven't tired The Scent Works' version, although it always gets rave reviews (just don't want to spend the $$$ right now). I didn't care for MMS and although Peak's and Bert's are both nice, just not quite as strong as I'd like. RE/AH has a dupe that is very similar to the original--it wasn't strong enough in candles but is so very nice in MP soap and lotion. Hope I'm not confusing you more--LOL! Good luck!

marcuset Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Have some ICS's PS coming upon recommendations. Have used others & they are good too, but keep going back to good words on ICS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I use the one from ICS too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maecp Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ICS get my vote. I use it in body butter and whenever I'm wearing it someone will ask me if I'm wearing Pink Sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The only problem with ICS pink sugar, is after a while if the candle sits around it will discolor a little. but it still smells divine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
try2chme Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've only ordered Peak's and it's the only time I've ever smelled it or heard of it and I was hooked. It has been my favorite fragrance ever since. Where is the original Pink Sugar from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 It is a woman's perfume by Aquolina, launched in 2004. The "male" version is Blue Sugar and the also tried a chocolate version. I've only ordered Peak's and it's the only time I've ever smelled it or heard of it and I was hooked. It has been my favorite fragrance ever since. Where is the original Pink Sugar from?
