I can help on some of these lol. They say cornucopia transforms to splendid in wax (so it's on my list to get poured and can't help ya till I do.)
Tuscan nights ... I personally love it. Don't feel it's light, but not heavy either.
Fruit slices -- wonderful!! My BF is addicted to it lol  It's not a light fruit scent at all.
Spruce Xmas Tree -- this really blooms and is a great scent.
Haven't put banana nut bread into wax and have some vineyard coming so can't help on those.

Banana Nut Bread is the a perfect scent! Some of my Cust. say when the smell it they can actually taste the nuts lol As far as how strong this is...ya might back the scent up a little or it might cut down your sales  My aunt has had one for a couple months and doesnt light it! lol just opens the lid and it scents up her room!
Fruit Slices has more of an orange scent to me but i can also smell other fruits. Another best seller. lol This one can easily scent up a room! This scents a lot like Jam Me Crazy
Tuscan is a perfect "mens" scent. The men just love it in everything! lol I have one guy that keeps a wickless tin of it in his truck. I wouldnt call it a stong scent but yet I would because it is like a men's cologne.
As for Conucopia and spruce xmas tree have not smelled them yet!

I like cornucopia but alot of people don't. Its a blend of nuts and fruits to me. I really like it.
Never tried Tuscan Nights
Really like Fruit Slices but I also smell more orange than other scents.
Spruce X-Mas is also a very good one.

I LOVE Cornucopia! I think it is a GREAT fall scent, its just really hard to describe. I strongly suggest buying a sample and giving it a try. Its one of my best sellers in the fall.
Fruit Slices is a current best seller for me as well. It smells just like a fruit salad! It does have a good bit of orange in it but not too much! I highly recommend it as well!
I personally thought the Banana Nut Bread was too strong. It threw amazingly well! I mean it filled my whole house! But for my personal taste, I needed to find one a bit lighter, but if you are looking for super strong, than Peaks is the one!
Spruce Xmas Tree is exactly what it says....a christmas tree. I thought it was a perfect scent, it just didnt sell for me last year so I'm not bringing it back.
Vineyard I just had a sample of and just didn't like how it smelled. But thats just me! You may love it. Its hard to describe as well.
Haven't smelled Tuscan Nights! HTH! Good luck!

IMO, Peak's Banana Nut Bread is "spicier" than most BNB's I have tried, at least to my nose.

I've made a few candles with the Tuscan Nights FO and it is without a doubt a "man" smell. Medium hot throw.
I haven't been able to sell much of the Tuscan nights.
Vinyard has been a good seller lately. Smells lightly of concord grapes and more. Donno' what the "more" would be though. Haven't got that one figured out. Another medium scent throw.
This is using 1oz P/lb. J223 Wax.
I have not tried the others on your list.

Fruit Slices is an incredible scent! Very strong & citrusy to my nose. I use it in tarts & wickless candles and the scent lasts for a very long time. Also use it in cp soap & lotion. One of my absolute best sellers year-round.
Banana Nut Bread is dead on accurate - imho. Very strong in wickless candles - long lasting.
Both are worth trying out
I haven't tried the others.

I can only give reviews on two of em......
I don't like Food scents, but my customers love LOVE! Banana Nut Bread. I sell quite a bit of it.
Tuscan Nights I got as a sample and I really liked it. I think I'm gonna order some for the fall.

Banana Nut Bread - Awesome, best I have smelled so far. It is not just banana like most.
Fruit Slices- Another good one, but does get kinda fuely, so you may need to adjust this one. Strong though!!
Tuscan - Smells nice, although it is a scent to get used to. Not your average candle scent. It is pretty sagy too. I like it!

Maybe you could ask peaks if there is any way they can ship to Canada that will save you on shipping.
I have also seen other people on here from Canada maybe you could contact them.

Fruit Slices is one of those scents that you will love. It smells so good!
Banana Nut Bread is another great one but my kids hate it. The reason they hate it is because when I make or burn the candles they think I'm making the real thing and are disappointed to find out that it only candles.
The other scents I haven't smelled.

Fruit Slices is one of my favorite, I use them in my aroma beads and ornies and it is a great seller.
Tuscan Nights has a different scent men seem to like it, it's nice
the others I haven't tried yet maybe next co-op lol

Hi V!
Banana Nut Bread is absolutely HEAVENLY. That and Blueberry Muffin I couldn't imagine getting anywhere else-- they are so dead on and rich that you can really appreciate even an ounce bottle!
