Scented Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So what I've got is a nice warm apple scent, slightly spiced, combined with a very pungent green sagebrush that leaves a herbal note in the blend. What I cannot come up with is a scent name. To describe this is a really tamed down spicy apple surrounded by a dry, yet pungent sagebrush. Thoughts?

jbrooks Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I know that a lot of Thanksgiving stuffings have apple, so maybe something like 'Herb & Apple Dressing' or just even Autumn Herbs or Autumn Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I really like the herb and apple dressing idea. It takes me on a sensory trip into a Thanksgiving prep kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oh! I was thinking sagebrush like those dry things that roll across deserted streets of a ghost town in old westerns, not sage like you put in stuffing.

Scented Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not to kill this thread, but there is nothing remotely foodie about this scent. One might think there would be with a warm apple in the mix, but the sagebrush completely counters it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It is sagebrush, but isn't it tumbleweeds that roll across the roads? You are so right, and I guess I thought a tumbleweed was a dead sagebrush. Turns out it's not. But sagebrush does grow in the desert. Sorry to sort of hijack your thread.

Guest OldGlory Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ok, if you walk away from it, come back with your eyes closed, what do you smell first? Do you just get the clean fresh of the apple, but not an apple note? And where is the cinnamon in all of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OldGlory Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I just can't imagine it. In the blends I've used mac apple, the distinctive qualities of the apple disappear and you just get fresh and clean. All I can come up with is:Savory AppleDappled Apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I don't think it's a mac apple that's used here. I'd like to be able to place the apple as a certain kind, but not this time. I'd almost say it's close to a red delicious with a hint of granny in there, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudMarineMom Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 There is an apple type called Gold Rush, that kind of makes you think of tumbleweeds and stuff. Prairie Autumn, Rustic Apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Prairie Apple ... Prairie Annie ... Calamity Jane (is what we've temporarily gone with) Who has this Gold Rush? Never of it. Is it of a golden apple nature? Lorelei it's just a blend of two fragrances we have that I really liked the way the caps smelled so I took it a bit further and put it into soap, but I'm wanting to take it to candles something fierce lol! I also want to see how this spicy apple blend will mix with a white oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's not a fragrance oil but a type of apple. I was doing google searches with terms like apples, sage brush, tumbleweeds, desert, Nevada, etc. This apple variety happen to pop up. Name sounded interesting as did a bit of the description. 'The fruit is characterized by a complex, rich spicy flavor with a high degree of acidity and sweetness.' https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/pri/coop38-3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well heck I want to try one! I really like that Gold Rush, but want to try one to see if that would compare, because if it did ... and if it tasted good ... whoop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
