Has anybody tried the UK Flavours triple concentrate Vanilla Custard?

Ordered some then thought 'ooh I wonder if it's any good?'

rughead121 - no, but have some Custard made with their regular strength VC concentrate in my cupboard. Ask me again in 2 weeks

I am sure I read somewhere that the regular was a clone/rebottle of something. Trouble is I can't find it now

I suppose I was hoping that the triple concentrate was the same and not some thing.

Ahh well another lesson learned. Dont be too clicky with the mouse ???

[chykensa]

I have a feeling it could be a re-bottle of the Capella. Perpetua might know, or lairey. Come on girls, share your knowledge with us mere mortals!

I think it's TPA's, well at least the normal strength one. Although I am taking Perps word for it... she was 99% certain. As for the triple strength, I have no idea I'm afraid

Oh well Looks like I am going to find out  I really should learn to think before I click

One of the earlier bottles had a code on it that started CAP.

Perps compared it (lick test as well) and in her opinion was the same as capella.

If it not its very close.

I have 2 lots of CLC, 1 with cap one with ukf, both smell the same so far

I knew that I had read that somewhere - thanks Tom!!!

Sorry, but it was definitely TPA.  Capella and TPA Vanilla Custards are almost identical and either can be used in CLC.  But 100% certain that the original product code began with TPA not CAP

Fair enough.

My memory must be going in my old age xD

[Perpetua]

Definitely TPA's the regular strength . . . I'm 99.999999999999% positive of it!

Side by side TPA's . . . . in RL the colour is the same, clear/opaque bottles distort it a bit.



I've ordered and received a bottle of the triple strength, for research purposes as you do. . . . tastes exactly the same as the regular, just a bit more intense. Not entirely certain it's triple for my taste buds - maybe more like double for me.

Thank you Perpetua


Looks like I got lucky this time

I MUST ask first next time instead of just charging in and

[Perpetua]

I'm thinking the Triple Strengths might be a TPA range purely for wholesale rughead121 . . . if you compare the descriptions:

shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-7166-vanilla-custard-flavor.aspx

In any event, you haven't picked a lemon.

[chykensa]

Mmm, Lemon Custard, could be a go-er, that! Perpetua, if you were used to using say 20% of a regular concentrate, how much would you use of the Triple Strength? 10%, or err on the side of lush, and go for 12%-ish?
I have some Custard steeping which used their regular strength, but I will be ordering some triple once I have used all of this up.

[Perpetua]

I've been pondering that myself Andy chykensa . . .


It certainly doesn't taste intense enough to only use a third of what we normally do ( to me anyway ) maybe split the difference and try 11%?
