    -Black Canyon

    -Botanical Orchard and Nectar

    -Cinnamon Balsam

    -Cookies for Santa

    -Freshed Brewed Coffee - if I remember right Fillmore coffee is strong OOB

    Another great example of why/how I will NEVER use only 1 scent from any 1 supplier exclusively and have it be irreplaceable - because of this right here - who would have thought that Peak would have closed, and so abruptly? About 50% of all of my FO's are from Peak, however, I never get so attached to a scent or supplier that I can't replace it. 

    Yes, there are several that I absolutely LOVE and that my customers all love too, but with the way I mix my scents and make my inventory, I don't have any "must haves" from a certain place. 

    Some good advice....

    Wow, we did have clues this may be coming but still a shock anyway...

    I too will miss many of their oils - My all time favorite:  Asian Sandalwood amongst others like Botanical Orchard and Nectar, Birthday Cake, Black Canyon, Blackberry and Sage off the top of my head.  I used to order wax and wicks from them as well, need to start retesting my zincs from another supplier.  

     

    Honestly, I am almost embarrassed reading those FB comments and not understanding why their dirty laundry has to be aired out in public.

    Alan sounds like he is having a mad breakdown....it's terrible for both him and his wife.

    I like your paintings Kelly - are you going to sell them?  I know making candles has saved my sanity at times. Now I am getting into soap making as well so I should be almost completely sane in a few years or so HA!  I am sorry about your son and will keep him and you in my prayers....

    Every time I order from Peak I am blown away

    Seriously. 
    I don't know why I don't order more from them.  Well, I do know why.  It's because I try to piggy back my FO's with wax and containers to save on shipping, and I don't buy either from Peak, but still.  Peak consistently impresses me.

    I'm sure I'm late to the party with these scents, but for those that don't know....
     

    Bartlett Pear - this is the pear scent I have been looking for all along.  Juicy fresh pear, crisp and true but strong. Wow!  Why did I wait so long? 


    Gardenia - geez Louise, this is a strong gardenia scent.  A little dab'll do ya.  Moderate accel. in cp, but nothing awful.  I left it white, so it was easy peasy soaping.  I have Moonstar to thank for this recommendation.

    Botanical Orchard & Nectar - I don't know why I never tried this before.  It's lovely.  Reminds me of an Apple Blossom FO I used to use, but better.  I'm gonna replace MacApple with this for a while, because I think it will appeal to the same buyers, and because I've poured MacApple for so long I'm just tired of it.  I smell apples and pears with a floral hint in the background.

     

    Sweet Mango Delight - this was my free sample.  I used it in CP soap along with a melon something or other sample I had from another company.  Ha.  This Sweet Mango completely obliterated the other scent and has taken over the entire soap.  It's a strong one, fo' sho'.

     

    These were the new to me scents in a recent order, and they all just blew me away.  You really can't go wrong with Peak.  Just sayin'.

     

     



     

    Bartlett Pear - I recently ordered this scent and have yet to put it in wax, great to know!

    Botanical Orchard & Nectar - This is one fabulous scent, very strong is either paraffin or soy wax.  I renamed it Garden of Eden.

    Black Canyon very good scent and I have mentioned here before that I adore  Asian Sandalwood.

    Beach Daisies and Ocean are also very nice summer scents, both good in PF wax.
