Scented Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Only 10 then my choices would be: Patchouli -- because it moves and I love itPatchouli w/ Tea Tree -- because it moves and we can't keep it in stockLavender -- because it movesMilk 'n Honey -- because it's a little upscale and moves ... just made a triple batch of itFruit Slices -- apparently people like this (though we call it something else)Karma -- Cuz it's that patchouli flavor people dig (The Neroli de la luna though could replace this)Polar Express -- It's minty but toned down a little because of the Patch in it.Misbehavin' -- I think this is because people think they're being a little naughty.Ginger Lime -- It's a great scent and moves better with its rename I supposeSanguigno Orange & Patch -- guess we'll be trying to figure out how to make it if TSW goes down -- It's that Patch scent ... As you can see we have a pretty strong Patch crowd Edited September 5, 2014 by Scented 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 Pawz Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks everyone for your replies. Was that an easy question or what? I'm finding it hard to decide on FO's that are different that I've used before, trying to limit myself from overbuying or I end up with a few small bottles that I never got to open and end up throwing away. Your replies have given me suggestions of scents that I probably wouldn't have thought of. It s not easy to make a choice tho, I end up with a list of 25 instead of 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your replies have given me suggestions of scents that I probably wouldn't have thought of. It s not easy to make a choice tho, I end up with a list of 25 instead of 10 MIX!! - that's another reason it's hard for me to narrow down a list. I mix scents all the time to come up with something fun and different. When I run into a rut and am tired of the same old same old scent, or I don't have enough for a full batch, I find a complimentary scent and I mix them to come up with a unique scent. By doing this I have made some pretty spectacular scents (like my Enchanted Mint) which is now a part of my line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 Pawz Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Well, Idid it , I ordered 10 and ONLY 10, 1 oz bottles of FO from NG. I've not used their oils before so I'm not familar with what works and what doesn't. I wanted to order soap colorants as well, but resisted of course , it took quite a while to decide---- BergamotAloe Vera & CucumberBlue AgaceWhite Chocolate ( try this with the Bunny Bath Melt Recipe)BalsamChristmas WreathFresh FruitBubbleliciousClementineSour Watermelon I chose most of these due to the customer reviews on their performance in CP and Soy wax. I havent worked much with soy, but have heard that it is sometimes difficult to find fo's that work well in soy; I use either paraffin or a blend.

emilyspoppy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'll go out on a limb with a chain saw and offer; If I only had ONE (1) soap fragrance it would be; ELEMENTS'. - "JUNIPER & ALOE" I have many more that I stock and I have sampled/tested hundreds more, but this one is way out in front of the pack in how it behaves, performs and sells.

Candybee Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes the Juniper Aloe is lovely. No A&D (Thx for the sample Dave!) But it is light in CP even at 1oz PPO. I use it for my one of my specialty soaps. It might be a better one for HPing instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be hard for me to cut down to one, but I find myself turning to lavender, junipers, aloe, etc---- I'm still searching for a good lavender type, but haven't found one that I'd rebuy just yet.
