islandgirl Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Tested the Z-Bread from SS and it is a good dupe IMO. Nice C&H throw! It's under Grandma's Zucchini Breadhttp://www.greatcandle.com/Fragrances%20D-G.htmFor all those needing it right away, this is an option for you since RE is not going to be stocking all fragrances for 4-6 weeks.I also saw SS carries Caramel Pecan Pie and Orange Chiffon. I haven't used those scents and did not test them, but I know some of you are looking for dupes. I tested the Biscotti oil. OMG this is fabulous!!! It reminds me of BCN's Biscotti that they used to have years ago. Strong and yummy!! There is no chocolate in this one, just buttery cookies, vanilla and almond and it is Kick Butt!! Now to find a dupe to the Plumberry Spice. Still looking!! :rolleyes2 Edited August 1, 2011 by islandgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 SS Hot Coco is a good dupe for Ky's.. Whew.. I got luck finding 2 replacements so quickly .. Now to find a couple more dupes to play it safe and I won't have to worry about when RE gets the oils I need stocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenOH Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 This is great news!! So happy that the SS oils are working out for you!! Did you notice that SS has a Plum scent??? Wonder what would happen if you mixed it with their Christmas Past??? I've been testing a few with great results...Holiday Pear, Pumpkin Brulee & Vanilla Pumpkin.. and just placed another order over the weekend...not necessarily to replace KY oils but just because I really am a FO HO!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Awesome news Island...will be ordering samples soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey Islandgirl_Its been awhile since I have been on here....I have always wondered about this companies fragrance oils- are you using them in soy or parrafin?I recently got samples from elements and so far the throw in soy is not as strong as I would like, so just wondering what your using with SS.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Hey Moonshine ~ I use Soy. I did test the peppermint too. It is OK.. Not as strong as I would have liked. BTW Moonshine.- Love the Rose Hip Oil for my face!! Been using it now for a few months. I will never go back to buying over the counter face/wrinkle cream again!! I look 20 years younger now!! LOL J/J ... ( I wish) But.... I do see a difference in my skins appearance and wrinkles. It has also helped with the occasional breakouts.Good to see you back VE and Moonshine!!!!!

Candybee Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Are you looking for a killer peppermint? Try Peaks Pure Peppermint. Its awesome. I blend 50/50 with creme brulee for a peppermint creme during the holidays. Also, its makes an awesome peppermint M&P soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks Islandgirl! and yes rosehip seed is the best money I ever spent and cheaper too huh? still cannot believe all the million dollar bottles of LIES I bought over the years! LOL!! Candybee- yes Peaks is killer peppermint- the best I ever tried and going to pour my candles this weekend in it- I stocked up during their 15% sale!! Love the idea of mixing with creme brulee- is that Peaks also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Islandgirl,I think SS holiday scentsations (and Fillmore's citrus and balsam)have some similar notes to Ky's plumberry spice. Give them a try and see what you think!Tested the Z-Bread from SS and it is a good dupe IMO. Nice C&H throw! It's under Grandma's Zucchini Breadhttp://www.greatcandle.com/Fragrances%20D-G.htmFor all those needing it right away, this is an option for you since RE is not going to be stocking all fragrances for 4-6 weeks.I also saw SS carries Caramel Pecan Pie and Orange Chiffon.

islandgirl Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I did try SS Holiday Sensations and it is the closest dupe to Plumberry Spice that I have found.. RE got the Plumberry Spice and Z-Bread in so I am good for now. But at least now I have back ups!!I will each out FMC's scent next time I order. THANKS Edited September 7, 2011 by islandgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
