GailC Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was going to try Amish Quilt from Rustic Escentuals, but did a search here and found that some said it was a sweet scent. I'm looking for an FO that is spicy, but not overly sweet. Not straight cinnamon because I have that already. A lot of my FO's are too sweet for my granddaughter. Any others from RE fit that description? Or Nature's Garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I love Ginger Spice from WSP, not sure about ones from RE or NG (I tend to love the sweet bakery scents) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Warm n cozy is a good one so is warm vanilla nutmeg but that does have more sweet notes if your willing to purchase elsewhere peak Amish harvest is perfect spicy with just enough sweet to make it not at all bakery Edited January 5, 2017 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks! I was looking at Warm & Cozy, but there were no reviews. I wanted to order another fragrance from RE plus some liquid dye, so don't want to order from Peak just now, even though I've read good things about Amish Harvest. Trying to save on shipping by getting what I need from one supplier. You know how that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Don't know if you want to order from WSP but I like the Tropical Spice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds interesting - how would you best describe it . Do you use it in candles - how's the HT ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grama Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This is the description from WSP - A warm and complex blend of cinnamon bark, clove leaf, spiced rum, jasmine petals, tahitian vanilla, sandalwood and musk. On the reviews a couple said it was a little sweet. I use it in paraffin and the HT is fine to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I like Re's Candied Ginger, not real sweet. Cardamom Cedar Blossom is also a good one, I tried it even though no reviews and I like it. I'm sure there are others I've tried from RE but I can't think of them, lol. Thought of another, Autumn Spice says vanilla but when you look at the description it has no vanillin in it. I haven't tried it yet but OOB smells like cinnamon & clove and maybe a tad of anise?

Beaches Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Celtic Moonspice from RE is good. I personally like Baked Apple because it's mainly all spice to my nose. Lots of cinnamon in it. If you like ginger, Golden Opium is an earthy ginger type of scent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I mix juniper berry cedar with peppercorn from RE and it's nice and spicy w no sweetness to it. I'm sure either would be fine by themselves too. This isn't really "spicy" but I really like Fig & cassis from RE. It's complex and not very sweet, to my nose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've decided on Celtic Moonspice. Did a search on it and someone here said it smelled like Peak's Amish Harvest which was also recommended. It's so hard to choose! Baked Apple is the other fragrance I'm ordering. I love it, but it does smell like Spicy Apple to me. Just like Home Interiors Baked Apple candle back in the 80's. My favorite!

I was just reading Autumn Spice's scent description and noticed it said buttery vanilla, but also says no vanilla content. ???? I do like clove. Now I'm torn between Celtic Moonspice and Autumn Spice. Sheesh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponiebr Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just a little spice huh? I mix Candle Science's Holly Berry and Snickerdoodle, it smells like the radiant Christmas Morning joy on a child's face when they first see the tree... It's just wonderful. Like warm snickerdoodle sugar cookies and milk. If this is strictly for a Candle or maybe some lotion I'd have to say Candle Science's Christmas Hearth is just TDF. The Holly Berry is warm and almost honey with a little bit of warm mulling spices and leaves you feeling like you had passed by the faintest pine or something green in background. Snickerdoodle, is just like a warm snickerdoodle sugar cookie fresh out of the oven spicy but not overpowering. It's more spicey than a honey graham cracker but not like a pumpkin pie... It's somewhere in the middle ether there... Christmas Hearth, I swear Candle Science is making this from freshly squeezed angels somehow... But THEY describe it as "A classic holiday fragrance that tells the story of a cozy holiday night spent sipping wine in front of the fireplace. Christmas Hearth combines orange spice notes from the kitchen, fir and pine notes from the Christmas tree, and an earthy smokiness from the fireplace. It's Christmas Eve, in a bottle, any time." I just WISH this could be used in soaps... Cheers, Sponiebr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could go to these suppliers' places of business and actually smell the FO's. I used to be able to do that when Bluegrass Candle was in Indianapolis about 30 minutes away from me. And I've driven to Ohio a few times to The Candlemaker's Store and smelled lots of their FO's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it changes in wax ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those weird nearly pure stearic acid candles with the smashed up wood wicks I did at the beginning of the year were scented with CS Christmas Hearth. TO Frigg'n DIE FOR! But sniffers, like butts, tickle for different licks. Your mileage WILL vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Geesh missed this post. Celtic, to me, had a spittin' likeness to Peak's Amish Harvest. I do love that Country Gift Shop. Need to try warm 'n cozy. I think there are a lot of gems at RE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
