southerngrace Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Has anyone tried the Chestnuts and Brown Sugar from Connie's Candles? It sounds wonderful but I have never heard of this company so I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have not tried the chestnuts & br. sugar (I use mc's) from connies, but of the oils I have tried they were very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I just ordered a bunch of samples from Connie's, haven't arrived yet, but not that one. I like the Chestnuts and Brown Sugar from Just Scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerngrace Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thank you! I had a lady that was visiting from Kentucky tell me she loved that scent from Connie's so I thought I would ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapgirl10 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Try the Chestnuts & Brown Sugar from Just Scent!! OMG, it is AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerngrace Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I will add that one to my list of must try scents! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I second the Chestnuts & Brown Sugar from JS. That one is very strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Those of you raving about the C&BS from JS, how long since you've replenished your supply? There have been quite a few posts here about how the formula has changed and it's not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinCali Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 SliverOfWax, Thank you for the heads up regarding C&BS from JS. I ordered a bottle a couple weeks ago and I swore it just didn't smell the same as the one I had ordered last summer. I had a bit left and compared it to the new one - and it just seems different to me - IMO it just doesn't have the strong, yummy scent as the one I had - seems a bit weak. I had no clue that they had changed their formula - well I guess that explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morethanrubies Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 i second or third that -- the one I got in soy smells like a weak vanilla to me IMO... I ordered it only because of the strong reviews. Has anyone tried the one from Tennessee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamon Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Those of you raving about the C&BS from JS, how long since you've replenished your supply? There have been quite a few posts here about how the formula has changed and it's not the same.Unfortunately, I found this to be true also. Thank goodness I saw these posts before pouring an entire batch from a recent C&BS order from JS. I poured a tester and it is definitely weaker than bottles from previous orders. So disappointing because this was a huge seller for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well this is a huge disappointment I just sent in another order & C&BS was on it!! Why does this always have to happen with a popular scent??? So aggravating!! I took me many many companies just to find the right one!!

season79 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love the chesnuts and brown sugar from the Candlesource. It has a wonderful hot and cold throw. It is one of my favs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianad Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My vote goes for Millcreek's C&BS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Another great one is from Alabaster (now community candle). Very strong. I made up a few jars 2 weeks ago, let them sit a week and now have been burning. 1 16Oz salsa jar did my entire house....Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That does suck especially since JS's price went up to almost $20.00 pp!!Tell me about it! I ordered my standard 4# of it only to read these posts after ordering, but luckily before pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
