kandlekrazy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I really loved this scent when it first came out many years ago, but it never sold well for me. I'm considering trying it again, just wondering if anyone has any luck selling it in melts or candles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I love it, so I keep it around, but it doesn't sell very well for me either. We burn a candle daily in our shop. If I'm burning that one, people will remark on it and some will purchase it Otherwise, it just sits on the shelves. I feel like it's one of those scents that more people would love if they'd give it a try. I wish it were skin safe, because I think it would do much better in soap.

kandlekrazy Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I do have melts going in the store every day now so maybe I'll give it a try again and people will smell it and buy more. I agree on the soap, it would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Same here. Loved the scent but couldn't give it away in candles. Had to discontinue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I just started offering it and it is not going over so well here either. It is a nice strong scent but people just don't seem to take to it so well. I will keep it around for the next year to see what happens and if it does not start moving I will have to discontinue it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Try changing the name. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If it helps I renamed mine lime blossoms and was able to sell off the rest of the candles under that name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I will see how things go in the next couple months. If it does not start to sell I will give it a new name! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just placed an order and I can't even remember what I ordered other than Hansel & Gretel's which I sell year round. I did order 4 that I've never tried before...Let the Testing Begin! Mostly Christmas type scents because when you make your fall & Christmas line early...you buy more and start making again. It's the insanity of most chandlers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I love it but it always smelled more like "sugared violets" to me than "violet lime". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny how everyone's nose is so different. I can definitely smell the line in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I changed the name to Rites of Spring and it did alright. Folks like it as a room spray. It's a fave of mine so I keep it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I have an old bottle of this that was labeled for bb and candles. I did soap it once....and really loved it. It smelled exactly like it did OOB....and didn't discolor. Shame that it's no longer skin safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Love the scent but it was a dud sales wise. I've tried renaming it and I gave samples out.. Still nobody liked it as much as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldunleav Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I fell in love with a french candle that was Violet and Patchouli........could not put it down!! When I went home I really wanted to recreate it. The only violet FO I had on hand was CS Violet and Lime so I mixed it with some Patchouli FO just for fun. It actually smells pretty darn good and I am not a big patch fan! My teen daughter and friends loved it .I was wondering if anyone has other Violet FO recommendations?
