ChrisR Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Has anyone compared Flaming Candle's Balsam Fir to SW's Canadian Balsam? I need to find a replacement by next holiday season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL83 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Flaming Candle's Balsam Fir, I believe, is meant to be a dupe of Yankee Candle fragrance. Scents I have used that come close to SW's Canadian Balsam are:Rustic Escentuals:Alaskan Wilderness - scent description "This brisk, evergreen scent captures a pure forest morning, complete with pine needles underfoot and a clear mountain stream nearby. Sure to awaken your inner lumberjack."Frosty Pines - scent description - This one specifically mentions Canada. "This is not a typical pine-type scent - it's so much more complex! A snowy covered Canadian pine with camphoraceous notes of rosemary and vetiver, spiced bay, leather nuances, and a woody/musky base of cedar, sandalwood, Canadian Spruce, Douglas Fir Needle, cypress, balsam pine and woody orris."

ChrisR Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks AL83, but I've tried those and neither are even close to my nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL83 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Oh strange. I've been using Frosty Pine & Alaskan Wilderness mixed together as my replacement for SW's pine that I used to sell with no complaints and seems similar to my nose. Sorry for the misdirection.

ChrisR Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 No problems, every nose smells differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Those 2 sound amazing. I'm going to try them and get an order going after the holidays are over. The Balsam Fir from Flaming didn't do much for me. I found the scent weak. I hate to say anything negative about Flaming because they are an awesome company to order from and I just love them....but it is what it is....
