Trappeur Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Just got in from CS : Peppermint Bark: I had a sample of this I had forgotten - smells nice and I would use as a blend for the holidays. Mediterranean Fig: I've never smelled a fig before and I saw CS had great reviews so I ordered. I don't know...doesn't smell like anything special to me but I'll get in wax and maybe it will be different. Coriander & Tonka: Now this is simply lovely and so very very upscale! I know this will work for one account I have who does all the wines from me. This is right up her alley! I love love this and it is so "not me"! It is extremely rich, sweet and at the same time masculine....very very earthy and very smooth. The description says: It is a rich and sultry fragrance with notes of amber, tobacco and vanilla. And I smell everything in it as the description. Just love it ! Boy I hope it works in 464. Frasier Fir: When I went to place an order with CS for some oils I ran out of I saw they had this new scent, Frasier Fir. I have been looking for eions for someone to come up with a dupe of Thymes Frasier Fir and wow is this ever beautiful! What a terrific dupe of Thymes Frasier Fir! No other supplier in my opinion even comes close to this. I just put it in wax (464) and can't wait to see how it does. Trappeur 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Good to hear on the Frasier Fir. The Thymes candle is one of my all-time favorite candles. I also buy it in the room spray. The Mediterrean Fig to my nose is a tad more perfumey than the Fig Tree. The Fig Tree is a touch sweeter + not as perfumey. I ordered some of the Frasier Fir + also the new snickerdoodle - can't wait to get those. Coriander + Tonka sounds interesting though. Ive hesitated in the past because I thought it would be a hippy- earthy scent, which Im not a fan of at all. Cant wait to hear about how your new FO's perform. Do you like CS cranberry marmalade ? I just love that one ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Good morning! If the Frasier does well in 464 I'll be ordering a couple pounds of it and I'll try the fig and snickerdoodle. I didn't see the snickerdoodle...must be new also? Yes the Cranberry Marmalade is excellent. Apple Harvest is another great one. Wildberry Mousse is another great one and I love that also. I have many great ones from CS I love. Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Trappeur, did you try the Frasier Fir at Flaming? I'd be interested in knowing how it compared to the one from CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Snickerdoodle is new. The CS Wildberry Mousse I believe is a discontinued scent? CS is one of my favorite suppliers, even OOB they just smell quality. Belinda and others on here swear by Candlewic's Sugared Vanilla Shortbread, I currently use ICS's but Im going to try that one. Is there a good brandy FO - I see a Kentucky Bourbon on Flaming but can't find a brandy. I like your idea of adding brandy to CS Brandied pear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sent me a sample a while back when you just got it in but you hadn't tried it yet and then I went and ordered some from Flaming. I wasn't that impressed with it. (That's just my opinion). I'm sitting here right now smelling both of them and CS is much stronger and "much truer" to Thymes. It's wonderful! I can send you a melt or something so you don't have to pay that shipping from CS if you want? Your going to love it! I knew you were looking for it a while back.

Belinda Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have Frazier Fir from Cierra Candle Supply and it's labeled "Thymes Type". I'm going to order the one from CS and see if it's the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crazy about the medi-fig by itself , but I've mixed it with pomegranate, green tea, or guava and they are good together Edited August 27, 2016 by franu61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur That's ok, thanks tho for the offer. I have to order some 5 lb jugs from then so I'll just get a sample of their Frasier Fir then. I love that scent!

Moonstar Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 franu61 thats what I do with CS Fig Tree, I mix in some of the pomegranate. My CS order just arrived today. Oh WOW - you are so right about the Frasier Fir - so lovely. No sharpness to it at all - really smooth, I love it ! Their new Snickerdoodle is really nice too. Im super happy with these ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just placed an order with CS so as soon as I get it in I'll be sure to post my review! I'm excited about their new Snicker Doodle.

Beaches Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Frasier Fir is the only candle my husband ever picks up in a store and asks me to make. So I have tried a few versions of it. To my nose, WSP has a dead on match. Fragrance Buddy is completely different and smells nothing like the original by Thymes. I just got a couple sample bottles from Candle Science when I noticed they have a few new scents on their site. The CS smells close, but not as close as the WSP. I have not used it yet, but will most likely just mix it with WSP when I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the CS version was great but Ive never smelled the WSP version. I always wondered how their oils perform in wax, they're just so darn expensive pp What are some of your favorites from WSP that have worked well. Im in Holiday mode now lol !

I have tried it in both 464 soy and pillar palm The throw was good for both. You could smell the pillars all over the room when they were not lit, and they were in a large room. HT on both was good though. I really have not tried very many WSP fragrances because of the cost, but I was specifically looking for Frasier Fir and ordered a sample from them. It was spot on, so I got more. I have tried a few more from them, but only a handful. They are hit or miss like all the rest, and cost more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Well, I went to WSP and their oil is 31.95.00 a pound and CS is 19.97 a pound. All the reviews were great but I know I would have a hard time I think upping my prices wholesale to sell this fragrance. But I would like to try it though at WSP and make it for me. One of these days I'll spring for some of their oils. Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make soap & tarts & room spray...this is UBER-SUPER-STRONG. but a delightful clean scent...I smell soft fir, a bit of lavender and dry florals...I call it alpine Meadows...This is a copy of the General Purpose cleaner...if used lightly it makes your house smell freshly clean, takes nasty cooking odors out...I love this especially over the Holiday...use a bit less than half of what you generally would use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive yes but the price includes the shipping if you add shipping into other suppliers it's not that mich different really....at least the last time I did the math I have a handful I use from them and honestly they are all top sellers and throw like crazy in soy If I order a pound of Fraser Fir from Candlescience by itself with shipping to me it's $32.77....so WSP Is cheaper for me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to place an order for bath + body supplies anyways. I think Im going to try the Frasier Fir , the VBN you recommended + what else should I try in terms of Xmas scents. Ive been eyeing up : Frosted Cranberry - Peppermint Cream - Crackling Firewood - Spiced Cranberry - Gingerbread - Christmas Wreath Edited August 28, 2016 by Moonstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been eyeing up : Frosted Cranberry - Peppermint Cream - Crackling Firewood - Spiced Cranberry - Gingerbread - Christmas Wreath Sorry, I didn't recommend the VBN...I'm just a small volume soaper. The Lavender Fabuloso soaps like a dream at lower temps (110*) I absolutely adore the Sugared Spruce for tarts, room spray and soaps, and is very popular, too...sticks like glue, no issues. Wish I could be more help, but because WSP keeps raising their prices, I'm looking to ease out of there and look closer at Candle Science and Aztec Int'l.
