Terry Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 So I know a scent is kind of a personal thing--what I like is not what you like..I would like to give my candles as gifts to people like teachers, etc. without specifically asking them what their favorite type of scent is.,,So what is a scent type that is pleasing to most people? Would love to hear everyones opinions please.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 That could be a regional thing. Where I live, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, a balsam/pine/fir outdoorsy scent is a best seller with my wholesale accounts and a few other stores at which I've inquired. Apple scents are also good here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justajesuschick Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I WISH that there were universal scents!I have a few customers who want ONLY Vanilla and some who want anything EXCEPT Vanilla! Those I pour over and over: Fruity scents (Lime, Lemonade, Strawberry)Sweet Vanilla scents (Cupcake, Marshmallow)Clean/Laundry scentsBakery scents (Cake, Pie, Cobbler) As much as I love them and melt them myself, I struggle to sell as much apple/cinnamon/pumpkin scents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 My best sellers are Lavender and Lavender Chamomile or anything with lavender in it. Lavender is a classic and universally loved by both men and women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't know anyone who hates Apple Cinnamon and that's always what I use when giving a gift for someone with unknown preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I remember seeing an apple lavender fragrance somewhere.. anyway sounds like an intersting combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I am in Minnesota but most of my business is in the Eastern part of the US and Canada. But around I sell a lot of Apple Scents, Citrus and Baked Scents...cinnamon buns etc. I also sell a TON of Lavender and Lavender Vanilla and Clean Cotton. People are strange. I personally love baked scents and apple pie is always one of my go-to scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I find people either love or hate the cinnamon or spicy scents. I personally love anything cinnamon. Apple cinnamon, cranberry cinnamon, cinnamon buns, cinnamon stick, you name it, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I remember seeing an apple lavender fragrance somewhere.. anyway sounds like an intersting combo.I bought a candle in this fragrance years ago and it was lovely. I'd love to get it for my own line eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I live in East Texas and my biggest seller so far has been leather and leather blends. I don't get it when there are so many good ones out there like Mrs. Claus Cookies (that was a big seller too!) and banana nut bread, apple pie etc. I like the smell of leather but I don't want my house to smell like that LOL! Right now if they aren't buying leather they're buying the tropical/fruity scents like butt naked, caribbean, mango papaya.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
