GoldieMN Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I look forward to hearing what others have found to be great spring-summer scents as I am also starting to test my samples. So far, I get a really strong throw from Peak's Cucumber/Cantaloupe. It smells just like McCall's Honeydew to me which I use to always burn in the warmer months. Two others I tested, I couldn't stand the smell of--Daffodil and Lavender/Rose. Can't remember what company they are from. TruScent has a Iced Lemon Biscotti that I'm testing next.Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandytea88 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 To me, when I think of spring, I think of these: Melon Medley (Bitter Creek)Banana Kiwi (Nature's Garden)Sweet PeaJapanese Cherry BlossomLove SpellGeorgia Peaches (The Flaming Candle/Fragrance Buddy) or Peach Nectar (CandleScience). If you want something with more "greenery/fresh off the tree" then Fresh Peach (Nature's Garden/Rustic Escentuals)Juicy Watermelon (The Flaming Candle) - Though this one could be a bit summery too!Apple Hard Candy (Save On Scents) -Smells to me, not so much apple candy, but a crisp green apple I am a big fan of foodie scents so I can't help much in other areas, but I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Moonshine- we like a lot of the same scents! I see some on your list I already use. But I am not familiar with Blue Skies. What does it smell like? also, can you tell us about your spa daze or is that a trade secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 teana-- I have been thinking of doing a banana scent for a long time and never got around to it. The banana kiwi really sounds right up my alley! And thanks for the tips about peach scents. Do you know that peach was always my favorite candle scent for years. Haven't done a peach in a long while and have been thinking of it and you gave me some good ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandytea88 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah I love peach too! I should say I love it's scent I've never heard of french market either, I'm off to look it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Candybee blue skies is a very fresh ozone scent with a twist of powdery floralWhen I first tried it I was gagging saying no way will I ever use this- but it's one of those that you just can't stop burning - different notes everytime, super strong and very very clean -look up the description on AH/RE- they nailed it and it's true you keep sniffing it's so uncommonSpa daze is a blend I do at 50/50 CS rain water and day at the spa - both of those to me were just blahhh and light so I mixed them and love the result- it's very spa upscale with water-ozone and earth - another one you can't stop sniffing because it has something you just can't put your finger on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL83 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What does White Palm smell like? Sounds interesting.White Palm is a subtle but strong citrus/aquatic scent to my nose. Notes include (to my nose): Bamboo, Palm Leaf, Sea Spray, with the slightest hint of Pineapple. Many people say it is similar to Bath & Body Works' "White Citrus" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candly Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I just love Fillmore's Peony, to me it smells just like the flower and is like walking into a flower garden on a spring day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I always find Lebermuth's Fragrance Trend Reports interesting. Here is their report for spring/summer 2016: http://www.lebermuth.com/about-us/trends-market-reports/ Scroll down to the report then click on it to view. It opens up as a PDF file. My personal favorite is the "feminine wonder" at the bottom of the report. I want all of those fragrances!!

Trappeur Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Man oh man, your all talking spring? I haven't even gotten through winter making candles for accounts with the fragrances I use and the snow is coming here too.....had a whole whopping 1" last night, lol and tomorrow maybe 3" more? It's a big deal for the ones who live here in the North Georgia Mountains..... I bet all you who live in Colorado and Montana are laughing at this post...... lol Well, I'll have to start thinking sometime soon one way or the other.....I've really never had spring scents to be quite honest but all year round scents....I've never been a floral person at all but I guess I better start changing my thinking. One that I do want to get is Fillmores Daffodil from what everyone says about it. Maybe the sales will start popping up for little ouncers soon.

moonshine Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was NEVER a floral person either and I now find I am loving them FC daffodil is just simply beautiful and fresh and screams spring Elements sensuous black rose is the most perfect rose- not sickly sweet or to floralFB lavender sage is one of my new favorites and I can't keep it stocked BCN hyacinth is subtle yet alluring - like when you go past the isle at the market where they have their Easter plants and you Whiff something beautifulTSC raspberry peach magnolia I couldn't stand until the second tester candle - very different and although floral it has that can't stop smelling factor to it TSC honeysuckle is just perfect - sweet honeysuckle - I want to replace my honeysuckle jasmine with this once I know the outcome of the store staying openJS lilac is just like sticking your nose in a lilac tree- however I have to find a new one as they changed something to where it discolors quickly and the burn has changed FC Apple blossom is floral yet sweet and very springy I have always been a herbal woodsy type person and I still love my dune grass- lavenders- bamboo- teakwood- currants- lodgy smokey and of course spicy like hotel costes but I am really starting to become a floral fan! LolAs long as it isn't that rank perfumey floral that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
