Lorelei Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I just ordered some and did my reviews here. The only one I wasn't too crazy about was Pinapple Cilantro, because I smelled no cilantro. You can see the reviews hereFarmers Market smells exactly like Peaks Cornucopia to me. Sounds like you got some great ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deisel Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 i love ICS christmas past and all hallows eve! the AHE is different from others i have tried-but it is the best for me!kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Passionberry! It went on forever in a melt... Zucchini Pumpkin Bread smells awesome; didn't last terribly long, but smelled so good while it did.I'm doing Banana Nut Bread right now... super strong, but I'm not cracked on the smell. Maybe if I used half it might smell correctly, lol. Love Cinnamon Buns Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you got some great ones!That is good to know about FM and Cornucopia. I have a lengthy wishlist started at Peaks too, and this one was on it! I am really looking for a good Yankee dupe for their Farmers Market... I really hope one of these comes close.i love ICS christmas past and all hallows eve! the AHE is different from others i have tried-but it is the best for me!krisOooh, I completely looked over those. *runs back to the site to check those out* Thanks for the recs!!Passionberry!

Maybe if I used half it might smell correctly, lol. Love Cinnamon Buns Classic.I just read the description for Passion Berry and now I NEED it! I was mainly focused on Fall type scents, but that sounds so good! I think I will sub Passion Berry for the new Cinnamon Bun. From what I have read, most people on here seem to prefer the classic version of CB, but their site states the new formulation is one of their best sellers so I thought about trying both, but with your rave review of PB I think I am skip one for now and try it another time! Thanks so much for your recs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that Baked Apples will compare in some way to Salt City Candles Baked Apple...it is so very good! I have heard nothing but good about their classic cinnamon buns scent, so I don't think I will even bother with the other one. I will be sure to let everyone know my thoughts on my choices! Speaking of reviews...does anyone here know about the Candle Scent Review Board and Soap Scent Review Board? (not affiliated) I have been using the soap scent review board for over a year now and it has been so very helpful, and I just recently started using the candle scent board. The candle board does not have as many reviews, but if we all work together to give our two scents about how different FOs work in our candles/melts, that site would be a great resource for all! Here are the links:Soap Scent (also has a B&B section) - http://soapscentreview.obisoap.ca/Candle Scents - http://candlescentreview.obisoap.ca/As mentioned before, I am not affiliated with these boards, I just LOVE them as resources. If this sort of post is not allowed, please let me know and I would be happy to remove it. Edited August 6, 2012 by denetteb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelei Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The review boards (candle one) do not have enough reviews! I can find most every review here with search. I gave up on that board shortly after joining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks Carol and Deisel. I really liked BCN's but never ended up buying it.....was trying to budget. Is it similar or completely different? It is kind of hard to even describe the BCN version. I will go read the description at ICS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wanted to add.....I love Caramel Nut Cluster. It was a former Snowtop fragrance. Also, Sugared Spruce is very good. It was one of my best sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelei Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'll agree on the cranberry spice too. Really strong! I found a bottle of a sample that was over 2 years old. It was still going strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
