whitnick Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am not really a fan of floral scents but I have a lot of customers asking for them. It is kind of a catch-22 because it is hard to test scents that I know I probably won't like in the first place, lol. What is your favorite floral and what supplier? I would rather go with recommendations from here then to try and choose blindly on my own. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have a few...but no. 1 is True Rose from Sweetcakes. Pricey, but worth it imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) My top sellers are CS Lavender and Honeysuckle Jasmine followed by Fillmore's Tuberose & Jasmine and Daffodil. Edited September 18, 2014 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Lilac Wisteria or maybe it's Wisteria Lilac at Lebermuths. I also like a straight Wisteria, heather, jasmine, ylang (only in EO form though) and violet mixes. Can't help you with who on those as I'm testing a few of them out.

pcbrook Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I get bad headaches from anything floral but I have been able to handle WYW Hibiscus & Thai Palm. It is spendy though! I was able to snatch up a bottle on the classies. When that is gone I do not think I will pay regular price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctfavr3 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Carnation from SaveonScents. It's distinctly floral without being fake or cloyingly sweet. It works as a standalone but pairs great with most anything. The peppery clove aspect gives it some uniqueness and the actual floral aroma ( what I can only describe as the love child of red rose + frankincense) is very grounded but at the same time hauntingly ethereal and almost narcotic. I use it in Fall blends, warm, unisex in aroma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yet another vote for CS honeysuckle jasmine. I don't care for florals either, so I thought I'd pick something interesting and different and I tried CS hydrangea. I LOVED it. Throws really well and is such an earthy/almost spicy, interesting floral. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something a little different. I made it in bright blue and purple and customers loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm not a floral person, but I love Rice Flower and Shea...I can't remember where I got it from though. Now I do sell a lot of lavender/vanilla. Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I still love Rice Flower and Shea. BW has the one I use. So delicate and pretty. I used to like Cherry Blossom but now can't find one that isn't cloyingly sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelei Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If the formulations haven't changed my favorite is Tuberrose from former Southern Soapers now Fragrance Labratory. It has a very complex and hypnotic multi-layered fragrance. I often just go into my FO room and open that one and sniff. It has a sort of smoky base note.

Candybee Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Has anyone soaped EBB's Sensuous Black rose? How does it behave in CP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Indonesian Teak, hands down. Very feminine, classy but not overpowering. I think Southwest Candle Supply still carries it. I first got it from GreenLeaf. Still a great seller, after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
