vberkesch Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi all, Looking for a pumpkin for melts that will throw for at least 12 hours. So far I have tried Peaks spiced pumpkin, bcn's perfect pumpkin & CS soufflé. CS is the best so far, but still not as good as id like. P.S. im using 4794 70% and 4630 30%TIA - Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Pumpkin is my "thing" and I have tried and tried Pumpkins of every kind without a great deal of success. I also use paraffin.I have done best (your results, of course may vary!) with CS Pumpkin Pie and NG Pumpkin Eggnog and also their Pumpkin Apple Butter.

samandkennasmom Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 NG Pumpkin Apple Butter is a really good thrower for me to but I'm just not liking it much! I would love a super strong pumpkin but I don't think it's out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Backwoods has an excellent Pumpkin Pie. It throws well. I have not yet determined the lifespan. I find that many bakery scents do not last as long as other types of scents. You may want to give Backwood's a try. It is the Grammy's Pumpkin Pie not the Grammy's Yummy Pumpkin. I tested the Yummy Pumpkin but cannot remember if I tested it in candles and melts or one or the other. I did not add it. I should test it again, but when I tested Grammy's Pumpkin Pie when I reopened my biz, I really liked it, so I went for that one. I also like MMS Pumpkin...not sure if it is called Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Spice. I believe it is the same as Gold Canyon's Pumpkin Pie.

rctfavr3 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I bought a "Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling" fragrance that was one of the truest pumpkin scents I've encountered. That's not the actual name...I don't remember. It had very mild - if any spice notes. But, I can't find or remember where I got it. Blended with a little sweet Basil fragrance and it made one of the most awesome Pumpkin scent. I search and searched trying to find the FO supplier but don't know where I got it.

HorseScentS Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have Peak's Sweet Pumpkin Spice, and I like it a lot; it's very strong and spicy. But I'm thinking of mixing it with either Peak's Creme Brulee or Peak's Birthday Cake. Has anyone tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wick Your Wax's Pumpkin (sold at BCN) is a straight, strong pumpkin. I mix it with Lonestar's Maple Pecan and my customers can't get enough all year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mix it with Lonestar's Maple Pecan and my customers can't get enough all year round! That sounds like an awesome mix! So, the WYW Pumpkin does not have anything else as in the way of spice, etc....just plain? I do not order from there often, so I am wondering if I might be able to find another pumpkin for mixing from the places that I order regularly from. Not sure if the Pumpkin Pie fragrance would be the best to mix with something like Maple Pecan since it is a mixed Pumpkin as is...has other things in it...crust, some spice, etc.. Thanks!P.S. I do not order from LS either so I wonder what would be close to the Maple Pecan at some of the places I order from. I will take a look.

se2653 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was just testing Sweet Pumpkin Spice in 4630- almost too sweet to me, not sure what it is, seems it needs more spice. Never thought about mixing with Birthday Cake or Cr Brulee- will maybe have to try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me smells just like a can of Libby's pumpkin pie filling but I believe they stopped selling it. I love pumpkin & maple together but for this blend I use J&L pumpkin pie which is a non spicy creamy pumpkin with Vermont Maple Syrup and it smells great.

rctfavr3 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Yeah! That was it! Why did ICS get rid of it? A true ( one note) pumpkin scent is darn near impossible to find. I wish I still had some it made a great blender. I could get it duped for free if I had just an ounce. But, I don't. I remember it being fairly weak (which might have been the reason why it was discontinued) but it was the truest pumpkin fragrance I've ever used.

megandgarr Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am not sure why they stopped. I did a search for it one day to order more and it is no longer there. I just checked again and it is still not listed. Maybe you could send them an email to see if they still have some available that you could order (then have it duped)?On another note, they have a new pumpkin listed that I do not remember seeing on their site, Lebermuth's Pumpkin Harvest. Hmm... might be time to place another order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Chris, How long will that pumpkin last in a burner?I personally don't do melts. But, one of my customers said she turns it on when she gets home from work, shuts it off before bedtime (about 5 - 6 hours a nite) and it was going strong for a week. She keeps coming back for more so she must be happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make a profit, she'd need to sell it for $25/lb and that's just too high! :undecidedShame, I really would like to try it again.

megandgarr Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 That is a bummer because that was the most realistic straight pumpkin that I have tried, and I have tried a lot. Thanks for checking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judys Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Aroma Haven's Pumpkin Pie Spice is my customers' favorite. Great throw in soy cndles. Haven't tried it in melts yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbenimble Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I'm testing Butternut Pumpkin from LS in soy. It has very little spice and so far very strong. I decided to try it out because (I read in a past thread) Scented said it was wonderful and a true forgotten treasure among pumpkin scents. (those weren't here exact words but close) Edited September 19, 2012 by jackbenimble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I know this is subjective, but would you say it's more sweet/bakery or fresh/earthy? Of those two options. Edited September 19, 2012 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
