mindy5140 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've been searching for a similar Watermelon for years, has anyone ever found a similar scent? It smelled like a juicy ripe watermelon not tart, didn't smell like candy.. I do have an ounce left that I've been hoarding for years. I figure if nobody knows of something similar, I'll just get it duped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have tried quite a few watermelons but never really found a good one. Good luck to you! Maybe you'll have better luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The only watermelon I will use is from Genwax (think they're now candlemakingsupplies.net). It's the most authentic smelling watermelon I've tried and I've tried quite a few until I found this one. Their juicy bits of orange is also perfection.

TallTayl Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 They sure don't make it easy to find the skin/soap safe ones only a few have any indication of being usable in anything but candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they are a pain in the ass when it comes to listing soap safe. Genwax was a little better but not much. Gran I've used the Juicy Bits of Orange for many, many years and when I used to use straight soy wax it did work well without the dreaded fuel smell. I've never put it in CP soap, I prefer my 5X Orange EO. Their floral FO's are always dead on true scents & using less of their oils is always better than more - 1/2 oz./lb. was always the norm for me.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wow almost $29. To ship nine sample fragrances and I am in California only about three hours away . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Thank you!! I'll have to get me some of the watermelon from there, including the orange and the floral scents. January 12th when they open back up, fudge I know my list is going to grow by then. Edited January 6, 2016 by mindy5140 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 soshiegirl & ChrisRdo you use soy wax for the juicy bits of orange and watermelon?is there any others from there that you like really well?I have heard so much about the juicy orange, i just have to try it...have you tried it in cp soap?I use a soy paraffin mix so I can't say what it will be like in straight soy although I can't imagine it won't throw. You will love their juicy bits of orange, it's so good no fuel. One word of caution, their oils are super strong so you might need to adjust your % till you get what you like. To be honest, those are the only two I use as shipping is quite expensive, as you've noticed. Try them, you won't be sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryta Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Genwax / Candlemaking Supplies ... they have discontinued Watermelon. I still have some but has anyone found a substitute? This was definitely different from ICS, CS, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasllyn Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 This is an offshoot, but I am an addict- I keep reading about vendors I haven't heard of before and I'm thinking- What else do I not know about??!! I see all the same FO vendors and then someone say "watermelon from Genwax" and I go all crazy wondering what else is out there. If anyone would like to share favorite scents from specific vendors in a post, that would be awesome. I know there's a list, but they may not all be of the same caliber, and how can we know what's crap and what's not? Sorry to interrupt.

Well you've done it again lol ! I just couldn't help myself and to go peek around that site. I don't see a watermelon FO BUT I did see a pink melon so Im assuming thats what many on here are referring to ? The blood Orange also sounds interesting with notes on tonka + vanilla bourbon. What else is good from them ? One thing I did notice though that I wasn't so thrilled about was most all of the oils are not skin safe. Some were safe for soap but didn't mention lotion or roll on perfume. I really wish the watermelon was skin safe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looking through the earlier posts, it seems that the pink melon and the watermelon that many of you were referring to are not the same. I believe someone on this post mentioned that the watermelon has been discontinued, is this correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not used the pink melon so I can't comment on that. I love their juicy bits of orange (the best in my opinion), litsea cubeba, green tea, aloe and water lily, and italian gelato just to name a few. I'm in the process of trying some new scents as well including, caribbean getaway, bahama breeze, and lychee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
