kforbs126 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Looking for ideas on some blends. Been working on them all week, mostly pink blends. Since blending seems to be all the rage, I just don't know what else would smell good together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What other scent categories do you have?Toasteds are popular as are Noels and Zucchini Breads.My preference for testing is to cut melts in half and toss 2 or more together in a warmer. Helps stretch how many FO's I need to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforbs126 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have zucchini bread and toasted marshmallow. I guess I never heard of blending those to together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 A favorite is a blend of Pink Sugar, Sugar Cookie, Toasted Marshmellow, and Zucchini Bread....Monkey Farts with Zucchini Bread is really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You sure can (Toasted Zucchini Bread) but I meant them as categories.Toasted Pink Sugar Cookies, Toasted Zucchini Pumpkin Bread, Zucchini Fluff Bread, Toasted Blueberry Bread, etc.Since you are a spreadsheet person like me, you can make a matrix. All your scents both down the left and across the top. Then start checking those that are plausible. Then, take melts you already have made as is and start blending/melting away!You could also ask some from the Facebook groups to go to your FB page or site and offer suggestions for blends. Perhaps the winner gets a few in their "winning" blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have bakery, fruity, christmas and fall scents.With more than 2 scents do you guys do equal parts?This past week I've done:Pink Iced TeaPink MarshmallowPink LimeLavender VanillaPink LavenderLavender I think I need to do a 70/30 maybe.

justajesuschick Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Some times I do equal parts and sometimes I do different percentages.I like my Banana Bread more spicy so I do 70/30 Banana Bread/Cinnamon.I agree, those that are stronger, I dial back. Once I was in a hurry to go to dinner but was finishing up pouring and still had a bit of wax left in my Presto. I went and grabbed my Banana Bread FO and what I thought was Cinnamon to get the most of my melted wax. After returning from dinner, I discovered that it was an Apple FO. Turned out that my "mistake" is a popular scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how that works out.Yeah, I just take melts made with "straight" FO's and cut them in half and melt pairs or trios until I find some I really like. Easier to test because they are already made. I also do not waste time, wax or FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 My favorite blender is Creme Brulee. Almost any other fragrance will blend at a 50-50 ratio, example: Pineapple Brulee, Pumpkin Brulee, Butterscotch Brulee, Royal Sugar Cookie and or Vanilla Bean Noel and Brulee. Just make sure you get a top notch Brulee as your blender. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
