Whisper Girl Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have been using creamy vanilla from Lonestar. I like it, but I do not sell a lot of it. Would love feedback on a vanilla that really sells. I would love some help on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 It's a little different, but I REALLY love NG's Vaniglia Del Madagascar. It's an exotic vanilla and I've had a very positive response from customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Girl Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thank you Nancy. It is a difficult scent for me. I've been using a creamy vanilla but I'm just not getting the response I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You're welcome! I will say that it's not a really sweet, creamy vanilla, if that's what you're looking for. It's more of a vanilla extract scent. the description from the site mentions citrus - I don't get any of that, though. The floral & amber I pick up, but vanilla is definitely prominent and very pleasant and soothing. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My all time favorite is Vanilla Voodoo by Candle Cocoon.You might want to get a sample of Very Vanilla by Candle Science. It's a real luscious vanilla and so many love it too.Trappeur:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We use Mexican Vanilla from Southwest (formerly JBN) -- it's that creamy, non-bakery vanilla. Some say it's a twin to CS Very Vanilla that Trappeur mentioned above. I actually have both of them and they are very close, but to me, the VV is slightly sweeter than MV.

nursenancy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) I also have a Vanilla Bean Noel that I love, but it doesn't sell for me at all. Don't know why. Edited August 13, 2011 by nursenancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Good luck! In our state I don't think there are many vanilla fans lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvyCandles Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We used to use CS very vanilla, but use vanilla bean (aztec). It is super strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjwhite6 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 No luck selling vanilla in Indy either. But that just leave more Peak Vanilla Passion for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The only vanilla I have been able to sell is one I mix myself. I use 4 parts of CS Vanilla Lace with 1 part CS Buttercream. It also makes the richest, creamiest, best smelling vanilla I have ever used. So far nothing else comes close.I also used to use CS Very Vanilla but couldn't take it anymore because it has an off smell to me and tends to make my candles have a sour smell. Same thing if you use it as a mixer. It ruins anything you mix with it. Thats when I started searching for the best vanilla I could find.Another solid, strong, good vanilla is C&S Vanilla Pods. It reminds me of the old fashioned vanilla candles I used to buy as a girl. Just a great smelling no nonsense true vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I don't care for the vanilla voodoo (CC), very vanilla (CS), or any that smell similar to those--they have an odd undertone to them. I've been trying to find the perfect vanilla for me--smooth, creamy, slightly sweet with no butter, maple, almond or caramel notes and no weird undertones when burning. I've tried vanilla bean supreme (BCN), vanilla pods (C&S), vanilla delicious (Daystar), vanilla (Genwax), creamy vanila (LS), and others I can't think of right now. I have yet to find one that both smells good AND throws well for me in my parasoy blend. Years ago I used vanilla velvet from BCN but it was just OK. The only one I carry now is Mexican vanilla from Tyler (used to be Starrville)--it's not the perfect vanilla but it's rich and throws well. I'm still, however, on the hunt. Any suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 RWV, have you tried Peak's French Vanilla?.. It throws really good and it is my favorite. It is a good, smooth vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think the Vanilla wave is over. Customers have moved on. Carry more variations of what is selling instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think you have a very good point. Whats popular this year may not sell the next. Happens all the time. However, Vanilla is a classic and continues to sell regardless-- just not quite so fervently. But I know the moment I don't have one I will get those disappointed looks from customers. Besides-- its always good to have a great vanilla even if you only use it as a mixer. Not just any vanilla will do. You need a good one to make a great blend.

RWV Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 HI LeahRB,I'll have to check my notes to see if I've tried Peaks FV--if not, I'll definitely get it with my next order from them.RWV, have you tried Peak's French Vanilla?.. It throws really good and it is my favorite. It is a good, smooth vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
