    Christmas just keeps on coming this month.  I made time to speak with another of my friendly reps at Lab #4 to explain how bored I/WE are with the same old same old fragrances. We want something sophisticated to elevate our products and stand out among a sea of similarity. Well friends, she delivered! 

     

    The Summer Romance Collection contains 8 fragrances that are sexy, sophisticated and all around some of the most complex blends I've smelled lately. Throw out all notions of run of the mill blends with this set.

     

    1) Gala Nights: Top Notes: Violet, Coriander, Bergamot, Middle Notes: Rose, Pepper, Lily of the Valley, Bottom Notes: Patchouli Ambergris.

    Slip on your little black dress, best Minolo's and a spray of this scent. Walk the red carpet in style with this sexy blend.

     

    2) Dusted Sheets: Top Notes: Geranium, Hyacinth, Middle Notes: Rose, Bottom Notes: Orris Root, Oud Wood, Patchouli, Sandalwood.

    The opening notes are powder, though not a baby powder.  This powder is the expensive boutique dusting powder that is applied with a fluffy puff. Dust your bedsheets and settle in for a comfy night enveloped in luxurious style.

     

    3) Neon Flowers: Top Notes: Bergamot,  Apple, Freesia, Middle Notes: Pomegranate, Berries WaterLilies, Jasmine, Bottom Notes: Amber, Vanilla.

    This crossover between fruit and floral hits all of the high notes. Each sniff brings out a different element. It's how I imagine bees see the flowers with a ultraviolet spectrum of flavor.

     

    4) Up Close: Top Notes: Tuberose, Narcissus, Middle Notes: Jasmine, Orris, Bottom Notes: Musk, Ambergris, Heliotrope, Vanilla.

    You just met an exotic stranger in a cafe. A little light chat leads to close up conversation. This fragrance wants to pull you in close to smell more.

     

    5) Perfect Pear: Top Notes: Pear, Middle Notes: heliotrope, fig, Bottom Notes: Cedar, Smoke, Ambergris, Incense, Leather.

    This juicy fragrance opens with a freshly cut pear with the juice dripping from the knife. Then you can smell the magic of cooking the pear on a wood fired grill. The heat intensifies the sweetness of the pear while adding the slightly smoky caramelized aroma. 

     

    6) Gentle Man: Top Notes: Sage, Tea,  Middle Notes: Vanilla, Tobacco, Bottom Notes: Hay, Amber, Cinnamon, Ginger, Caramel, Sandalwood, Vetiver

    Warm and inviting, this exotic take on vanilla features bourbon and warm spices. Sit on the veranda as the sun sets awakening the senses for an exciting evening ahead.

     

    7) Exhilaration: Top Notes: Bergamot, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Middle Notes: Melon, Sage, Bottom Notes: Cedar, Coconut.

    Book that spa appointment. Put on that fluffy robe. Enlighten your senses to pure exhilaration.

     

    8 ) Mesmerize: Top Notes: Raspberry, Lemon,Jasmine, Middle Notes: Vanilla, Plum, Orchid,  Neroli, Bottom Notes: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber, heart Woods.

    This is a modern take of vanilla reinvented. The notes are warm, spicy and seductive. It could be called a "dirty" vanilla, which juxtaposes against typical cloying bakery vanilla. 

     

    All of these fragrances have blended on my hands as I sniff and re-sniff. I'm in summer romance heaven right in my studio.

     

    I have a limited number of sniffies available. Send a PM if you'd like a set.

    I can see myself buying nearly all of these if they work well in my waxes.  I DO NOT yet have IFRA. I have requested them and will test in soap, etc. if they are safe to do so.

    Wow! These all sound amazing!!

    I think I just found a good Rocky Mountain Christmas twin! It’s direct from our own lab, so if it works well, we won’t be held hostage by a retailer for it any more. 
     

    I put it in wax just a few minutes ago and will report back in a few days when i light it.  Out of bottle they smell identical to me. 

    @TallTayl any thoughts on how RMC was in your wax? I’m excited to hear!!

    Ok — correcting myself.

     🙄🙄🙄 (This is what happens when it’s been a month and I *think* I remember and don’t check my notes). Tried Midwest and another supplier at same time and it was THE other that was light. Have only burned the maple/bourbon from MIdwest and it burns lovely. I get lots more maple than bourbon so will have to add some bourbon and play with it. Need to burn my other Midwest testers. 

    What other scents do you have? I know what you mean about notes! If I don’t write stuff down I got nothing!!

    I’m reading/searching for a new coffee scent and wanted to share my thoughts. CS Fresh Coffee was my go-to best seller. It is reformulated — I crossed my fingers, ordered and was pleasantly surprised scent seemed same, wick same, all was GREAT!  4 months later I lit a candle and NADA. Nothing. No scent at all. Burned a second one. Same issue.  I can’t use a FO that can’t hold up to a shelf life. 

    Have you tried MidwestFragranceCo? I love the smell of coffee but every scent I’ve tried has smelled like burnt popcorn to me except MWFC. It is called Espresso. They are closed right now because of coworkers out with COVID but I believe that’s only till Feb. 1

    I’m not sure how those started? I don’t see that on mine.

     

     I have not changed anything on purpose.  Sometimes changes to the forum software sneak in  with security updates. I don’t find out until someone mentions it.  So thanks for starting this thread so that I know to look 🥰🤗

    Absolutely!! I don’t know why they bug me so much! I keep telling myself to just ignore them but I just can’t lol Thanks so much for all you do!!🙂🥰

  6. Wondering if anyone else is having pop up ads all the time? I never had that before. There is one on the bottom of my iPad constantly and I have to keep closing it cause it drives me 😝 crazy! Well crazier than I already am 😀😀😀

    awww I miss Trapp.     The chocolate is a little stronger than the other 2 so I put in less of that.  I don't have an exact ratio that I use.

    I miss her too! She was a wonderful person and I always enjoyed her posts! Perfect! I’ll give it a try! Thank you again for sharing!

    I do - both a business site and Etsy - without coconut candles at this time.  Too distracted by the perfect spring weather to force myself into the studio. 
     

    I can pm the address to not break  the self-promotion restriction. 

    Would you pm me your info please? I’d love to try a Coconut candle and I know yours would be amazing 😻

    Yes all from NG :) Their Hot Cocoa is one of the best chocolate fragrances I've found! It's a good mix 

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m definitely gonna gonna give these a try! I’ve been looking for so long for a good S’more oil! Trapp and I had many discussions and failed oil attempts. Do you mix equal parts of the three?

    I mix my own. :) Using nature's gardens hot cocoa, toasted marshmallow and graham crackers.

    Do all those oils come from NG? That sounds really good! 🙂🥰

    Been looking for one myself. I know several suppliers have one but it's just knowing which one is the best! I wonder how mixing Hansel and Gretel's house (that reminds me of graham crackers), chocolate and a toasted marshmallow would smell? I just suck at blending though!

    That sounds good! Someone suggested Millcreek so I ordered and will try that one. I suck at blending too!
