_kelli Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hello! I just filled out an order for a FO sample pack from peak. These just sounded good to me, but I would really like to hear your opinion on them before I actually place my order. I'm ordering them to make candles, specifically, but if you used them in soap, I would love to hear how that worked for you as well! Or even if you've tried something similar to these that you liked better, let me know!

Vanilla MintApple BlossomAruba CoconutPumpkin Honey ChaiBirds of ParadiseBlack CanyonBlackberry SageGeorgia PeachPink SugarCranberry CitrusI don't know what your applications are for these but here is my opinion on the ones I've used from them - Vanilla Mint - smells like NG's Jack Frost - strong in both paraffin candles and soapApple Blossom - nice scent in soap, not too apple-y, but not a real strong floral scent either. Aruba Coconut - n/aPumpkin Honey Chai n/aBirds of Paradise - Seemed very "peachy" to me, but others don't detect that so strong. Black Canyon - Very strong in both paraffin candles and soap - with soap I suggest using a vanilla stabilizer to cut down on the weird green funky color it becomes. Blackberry Sage - Very nice scent, sticks in soap and nice in candlesGeorgia Peach - I don't like peach and this is a very strong peach scent so I'm assuming it smells like it supposed to. since I'm not a peach scent connoisseur they all smell the same to me. Pink Sugar - IMO much better in soap than candles, but needs a stabilizer or it WILL turn brown.Cranberry Citrus - this scent is just so-so in soap, but man oh man does it come alive in candles!! One of my favorite scents when put in wax.... I hope this helps a bit. Good luck. Peaks is a GREAT company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 In soy black canyon is crazy strong and peach is very weak.... Those are the only 2 on that list I have tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Blackberry Sage and Cranberry Citrus are great fragrances and throw well in soy and soypara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've only used the following 2 on your list (and only in CP soap):Apple Blossom- I love this scent. I don't know if it smells like a real apple blossom (never smelled one), but it's quite lovely. When I smell my soap, I can detect both apple and floral notes at the same time, as well as a slight, delightful, soapy undertone. It's good and strong, too.Blackberry Sage- I love this scent, too. It smells just like how one would imagine it to smell based on its name. So far, its holding up wonderfully in my soap- good and strong.I have their Cranberry Citrus, but I haven't used it yet. It smells awesome oob, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have their Cranberry Citrus, but I haven't used it yet. It smells awesome oob, though.I was in a secret swap a couple years ago, we couldn't give away what scent we were using, but we had to do both candles and soap. I did both in Cranberry Citrus. People could not believe that both candles and soaps were made of the same scent. Unanimously everyone thought the scent smelled better in the candles (and I agreed). Even though the scent didn't morph in the soaps, it just didn't smell as good. So I will only use this scent in candles now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Pumpkin Honey Chai- made soy melt with this scent. It was med strong for me. It's an okay scent IMO. Pink Sugar- great in soap and candles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
