RWV Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello,I am looking for a true gingerbread scent for my paraffin/soy candles. I've tried many, including BW honey gingerbread (nice scent, just not what I'm looking for), and still can't seem to find what I'm searching for. Either the scent is not a "true" gingerbread, it has a "doughy" smell, or smells great OOB but changes once burning. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Karen M Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 BCN carries WYW buttery gingerbread, I love this one, if you need a sample PM me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I love hansel and gretels house from CS. It is awesome!! To me it smells like gingerbread with maybe some buttery notes. It is good enough to eat and it is the scent that started me liking foody scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennhalcyon Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I second H&G....so fabulous!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von354 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I just got a sample of Iced Gingerbread Cookie from Keystone. OOB it smells wonderful! Not sure if anyone knows if this one is good. I will put it in soy next week. I let my test candles cure one week before I decide if it's a keeper. I will report back on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomfort Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I second WYW's buttery gingerbread from BCN. Super strong, smells delicious cold and hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why does 'Hansel & Gretel's House' smell like graham crackers to me and gingerbread to you guys? Is my nose broke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Honey Gingerbread from BW is a winner! Smells wonderful burning. Best gingerbread I've found so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why does 'Hansel & Gretel's House' smell like graham crackers to me and gingerbread to you guys? Is my nose broke?No your nose isn't broke. Its not a 'gingerbread' scent. Its definitely graham cracker and icing. The picture that depicts H&G is a gingerbread house made out of graham crackers like the ones you make for Christmas.If you smell a gingerbread FO and compare it to H&G you will know the difference immediately.

Kimberly Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have used 2 different Gingerbreads and they both sell well for me...in my opinion they are TRUE. Peak and Tristate both have the best I have tried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
