JanetsCandles Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You might try Peak's Hot Cocoa in replacement of the Hot Chocolate. It's one of my top sellers. Very accurate and awesome throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenOH Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Unless any of you know of dupes forZucchini Bread Plumberry SpiceHot ChocolateI am SOOOO Bummed...I have heard that Amish Friendship Bread from Miami Erie is Zucchini Bread....but that's only rumor because I have never tried it.The others I have no idea.She just posted on FB that she is getting tons of orders today and can't guarantee that she will have enough oils to fill all the orders. :-( I'm going to need to replace:Apple Butter CloveBlackberry SageChristmas PastClothesline FreshGardeniaGrandmother's Hot ToddyHoneydew MelonOcean MistI'm just thankful it's not more!!

It smells just like the Hersheys Cocoa powder you use to make hot chocolate.You might want to give CS Plumberry a try for the Plumberry Spice.Don't use a Zucchini Bread but CS Banana Nut Bread is a good seller.

rustic Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I am so bummed that KY is closing... been purchasing her KY125 for years plus all my favorite fragrance oils. Now I have to find new suppliers. Hopefully she will find a buyer. Anyone know where I can get the cotton wicks? I have been using her cotton wicks since I started. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

annie123 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh no! I have been using her tart wax for a the last few year and now I have to start testing all over again. It's sad so many businesses are closing...who's next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going2Adopt Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Anyone have a replacement suggestion for Sage & Sweetgrass. I ordered it by mistake one time and it ended up being a best seller for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If anyone knows of a dup for her country gift shop or hot maple toddy please let me know. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 ICS has Zucchini bread you might want to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 It seems like I tried Grammy's Zucchini Bread from The Candle Source once and remembered it being very close to KY's ZB. Luckily I had downsized on her oils -- only have to find replacements for her Lemon Pound Cake and Toasted Marshmallow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Very sad to hear this news today. Vickey has been a top notch supplier & I've learned alot from her. I wish her all the best. My heart aches tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuepie Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 My heart aches too. I'm sure she has her reasons for closing. I too wish her the best, and I too am going to have to find a new supplier to replace KY125, Plumberry Spice, Midnight Pomegranate, Apple Clove Butter, Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Butter Fudge, Vineyard just to name a few.

alycia22 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Anyone know how much they want for their business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm in the same boat as everyone else...I use a number of her oils in mixes or alone. Not sure I want to go thru the time & money of retesting at this point. I'm fine with that, ...but I know others are really in a tailspin.

marcuset Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You might want to give CS Plumberry a try for the Plumberry Spice. I've tried both & they are very different. But, CS Plumberry is nice - just not that same evergreen undertone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've tried both & they are very different. But, CS Plumberry is nice - just not that same evergreen undertone.Ky's and CS 's Plumberry are totally different. KY's Plumberry Spice is a mix of Berries, Spruce and spice and VERY strong. That oil to be one of the best oils I have ever used and sells like wildfire for me over the holidays. Last year it was my biggest seller for in my fundraisers. I will continue searching scent descriptions suppliers have listed and see if there is something remotely close. In the meantime, I am going to have to discontinue this scent until I find a dupe or hopefully someone buys KY's Business!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Yep, totally different. Ky's is winter in a bottle. Edited July 26, 2011 by marcuset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Vickey mixes alot of her scents so it would be hard to find a duplicate. She has alot of her own blends on the site.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
