RWV Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I want a sweet creamy vanilla I can use alone or to mix with. I currently use vanilla extract from BCS, which I really like, but I still am looking for the elusive perfect vanilla for me. I DON'T want any buttery, coconut, musk, or floral notes--just sweet and smooth and a strong thrower.I have tried many and I don't want the very vanilla from CS, which smells the same to me as several other out there I've tried. It's a great scent, just not what I'm looking for.Out of the thousands upon thousands of vanillas, what do you think I should try?Thanks everybody!

Scented Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Go look through Day-Star's selection. Stacy was and probably still is crazy about vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I've tried alot also. The only one excellent enough for me is Candles and Supplies Vanilla pods, just plain ole sweet vanilla. It throws awesome in gb415 soywax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewls819 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 To me Very Vanilla from CS has a weird chemical smell to it. I to am searching for a good vanilla. I will have to check out the others mentioned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've tried alot also. The only one excellent enough for me is Candles and Supplies Vanilla pods, just plain ole sweet vanilla. It throws awesome in gb415 soywax.You are the one I was trying to remember who used and recommended the Vanilla Pods from C&S!!I have got to get a sample of this and try it. I am also unhappy with the vanillas I have tried, either they have other notes in them or are just not strong enough alone or as a mixer.

RetroMetroChic Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I Totally agree CS Vanilla is so chemical smelling and in blends its aweful.I thought it was just me and wondered if I should try again for the 3rd timeyes I keep retrying it based on all the wonderful reviews thinking something must be wrong with me. But everytime I smell that chemical smell..This Vanilla Pods sounds really interesting, I really want it but wow the shipping is terrible whith them $$$$Not to hijack the tread but are there any other must haves from them, will be my first order.

Gucci Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Haven't tried C&S Vanilla Pods (but now think I will ) but do have their Vanilla Bean, and I really like it. It's light and not nearly as heavy as the Buttery Vanilla.I once did a 3 case wholesale order of Buttery Vanilla. I couldn't bake for 6 months after that!

JonB Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Candlewic offers Fresh Vanilla- a BBW type. the description states a musk note, but I don't detect musk. just fresh vanilla. smells wonderful. I'm gonna blend this with NG's Indian Sandalwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnj Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I love Vanilla Pods from C&S. Another good vanilla I love is the French Vanilla...it's sweet and kind of like a cake vanilla.I have been curious about the edible spice and yep it's an expensive one but if its a good thrower it will be worth it to me.

Candybee Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Drove to C&S today so I picked up a sample bottle of their Vanilla Pods. OOB it smells pretty darn good. Can't wait to get it into my GG palm.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
