Gingerbread

I tried this a few years ago, and I guess some people love this scent, but this has been the only one I don't like from CandleScience. I'm a little afraid to try the other fragrance oils which are similar.

I ordered a large bottle of Gingerbread for the first time because I figured it would be a hit in my candles. However, opening the bottle I was hit with an overpowering alcoholic smell, sort of like vodka mixed with expo markers. I hoped it would smell better set in a candle, but I was wrong. It was still a disgusting scent that I could never sell or even give to anyone else. Luckily, candlescience products are priced very well, so I didn't lose out too much on this purchase, but it was still very disappointing.

I am not sure what some people are talking about. This is an amazing scent hot and cold. I have been ordering this scent for a few years around the holiday season and customers love it! I use 2oz per 1lb 464 soy and eco wicks. I made a 1lb candle for my grandma about 4yrs ago. She only burns it at Christmas time. She still has it and it still has an amazing hot and cold throw!

It's a good Christmas scent but to me it's not gingerbread. Maybe because I am a baker I'm just picky....who knows lol. I do like the scent but to me it doesn't scream gingerbread.

Produces a very nice scent using your formula of 1oz/1lb in Soy 464.
My biggest complaint CS...Your shipping prices. I have found a competitor that ships for way less. Their products are a few cents cheaper too. But your products being a few cents higher isn't a deal breaker for me, it's the shipping cost you guys charge. 5 stars for product only!

Excellent in cold process soap. Will be ordering more.

Wonderful in cold process soap. One week into the cure and it has not yet faded.

This isn't exactly how I want my gingerbread to smell, but it's still good. It's just a little heavier than I want. I use Hansel & Gretel's House for my cookie scent at the moment.

Gives a bit of a sharp cold throw in GB464 but when lit it mellows out and smells like its baked good counterpart. Hot throw offers nice spiciness with gentle buttery undertones.

I had multiple customers tell me that it smells like CURRY when burning! I burnt it myself and thought it was my boyfriend because he works in a kitchen. LOL! I use 464 and eco wicks. It totally sucked and was embarrassing!

This is a nice, strong gingerbread and throws well in EcoSoya PB. It doesn't smell artificial, but after a few hours there's a sharpness to it that starts to give me a headache. If that note (I can't describe what it is) were a bit more mellow, it would be perfect!

Wow! With so many holiday FOs spicing up our candles, what a pleasant surprise. Soft sweet Gingerbread! You'll be getting out the mixing bowls after the pour .... a team of Gingerbread Men from the oven to go with the glow. In ours we dribbled a few drops of yellow & orange to give a depth to the golden brown. Hearthside beauties!

I got this as a free sample yesterday, used it in GB 464 to make candles last night, and ordered more today. My Gingerbread candles smell so good, I HAD to burn one, even though I just made them last night. Smells just like the real thing. I can't wait until my new order comes so I can make more Gingerbread candles and use my Ecosoya PB to make votives and tarts!

I use 464 wax. I was disappointed with the scent. Not very strong smell.

This smelled absolutely wonderful while making and after curing. Excatly like baking gingerbread. But while burning there is a bit of a smoky smell but nothing is smoking. Like an earlier reviewer said, it smells a bit like burning leaves???

Good cold and hot throws. It filled my room in less than 1 hour. However, sometimes it smells more like burning leaves than Gingerbread(which I like anyway). I am using Ecosoya Advanced. I definitely plan to purchase more. Thanks again Candle Science.

I primarily make body products, room sprays and reed diffusers. I did this as room spray and just mixed up reed diffuser with CS base and reeds. I bake a fair amount of gingerbread cookies and make gingerbread houses. This smells dead on exactly what my gingerbread cookies smell like. And as usuall the reed diffuser started having noticible scent in about an hour. The room smells fantastic!!!
