gail164 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Belinda or anyone that's working on western type candles........has anyone tried mixing Leather with a dupe of Vanilla Lace? I have the Vanilla Lace from Just Scent but my little sample of TCS leather is all gone. Am working on an order for them right now;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink camo clothing and accessories are popular here for the ladies. I was a bit surprised to see pink camo lingerie at Bass Pro-HA! You know me and naming. I rename every scent. Well, and I write for a living so that explains that even more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Haha! Now I've got cowboy names popping into my head from reading this thread.... I would mix EBB's Honey Patchouli + Leather + Dirt + Fresh Cut Grass and call it Dude Ranch Scented I'd try EBB's Tuscan Lace + Vanilla Musk + Leather for your Sexy Cowgirl, but I'd call it Midnight Cowgirl How about cinnamon red hots + orange chili pepper for Bronc Buster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Mexican Vanilla is a real nice one too. Bitter Creek North has a nice leather also, quite different from TCS but good! I'm only going to offer 6 western fragrances to start out and then add more if it works out. I think a good coffee scent might work, leather, leather mixes, sweet grass n sage.......now I'm rambling! Happy candle making everyone! Sweetgrass is wonderful blended with hayride, Apple and grass- I call mine horse whispers peaks black canyon makes a wonderful manly scent - I call mine midnight cowboy my renegade cowgirl was MW suede but I want to change that one up its not girly enough 2 of mine are named after our horses - gambler and its sunflower scent because he was famous for getting in the sunflower garden and we have many pics of him smelling them and Dude which I use arctic air because it's so cool crisp clean...like a Dude turn n burn I use mulberries and moonbeams but again I want to change that one it needs to be a blazing hot scent chuck wagon was welcome home but I can't stand the scent so I'm changing it over to some other food type Indian summer is red currant Apache tears is champaca and bamboo rodeo is dragons blood and cattle drive is oatmeal milk and honey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail164 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thank you so much moonshine for all the information......the Sweetgrass blended with hayride, Apple and grass sounds great! I think I would really like the oatmeal, milk and honey also. They all sound great! How long have you been offering the western scents and do customers really go for them in your area?

moonshine Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) That was my first inspiration and my first complete line I did After I figured out what I was doing with candles- lol I have had to retest them a few years back when I switched waxes but it's been about 6 years I have had that line and they do sell very well around here-we are an equestrian community and my daughter rode on the middle and high school teams so they were a hit with everyone and I always took them to our breast cancer fundraiser show we did This Fall I am going to change a few of the scents that I don't care for but all in all I will always keep that line I seem to be getting more people drawn to the Michigan line I did though and this winter I will be introducing my country collection then I have the standards- food-floral-fruit-earth-fresh and clean,herbal and designer dupes all the same jar and label just western has a bandana outline and Michigan has the Michigan shape with blue print for the names and the country collection has a barn on them Edited August 4, 2016 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail164 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Please note that any western type fragrances I have mentioned in my posts have been from Southwest Candle Supply not Texas Candle Supply......I haven't tried TCS yet! For some reason I got them mixed up in my post ? not sure why I got them mixed up but just realized it today and thought I should clarify as to not mislead anyone........wow......kind of scary! My excuse is working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for over 1 month and trying to do some candles too! Lol! Sorry for any confusion!

Great names you guys - such a clever bunch Moonstar I used 1 oz of the Leather from Southwest Candle Supply in 1 pound of Kysoy125.....I really could have used 3/4 oz and it would have been good, when my order gets here I will try it and let you know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well look where this thread went ... how intriguing! Moonshine do you put anything with Black Canyon? And I'm quite curious about Apache Tears now ... how does the champaca not swallow the bamboo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I personally like Buckles & Spurs, Cowboys at the Beach, Cowboy Sunset, Chaps, Sun Washed Denim, Thoroughbred (it's kind of spicy). All of his manly scents and bakery scents have been good of the ones I"ve tried. His feminine scents are good too but some don't have a description but they do smell nice and strong. I don't care for his cream brûlée though and he claims it's the best in the business. I love Cajun's! I got some of his Dusty Mexican Morning and it had leaked out in the bag that he had put it in for me, and it was a strong floral type scent and gave me a headache. I ordered a scent by the same name from BCS when they were in business and it was more of a bakery scent so I'm not sure if he had mislabeled the one I got from him or not. I never got a sample of it to try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back when I first started out I ordered my very first candle making kit from Cajun! So glad to hear they are still in business, I will try their Creme Brûlée then! I like their Baby Powder, Dreamsicle and a few others I can't think of right now.....thank you for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 So curiously, leather, amber, salty sailor and jasmine appears to dress down the leather enough that there's a hint of leather under a clean floral ... I'm dismayed with the scent, but my partner tossed down the leather, amber and salty sailor (his once upon a time fav) to say he likes the other. I'd like to think he's being difficult, but I tested him several times last weekend to find that he was actually consistent. So perhaps it might become Petticoat Junction ... if I can get away with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 On August 1, 2016 at 9:19 AM, OldGlory said: Belinda, if you haven't tried Peppercorn from BCN, get a sample next time you order from them. I believe it would blend well with leather, and fit in with a western line. I blend it for my wholesale account, just started selling it in October 2015, and it's already their 2nd bestseller. Thank you for the suggestion Old Glory! I got a bottle of Peppercorn in from them today and plan to blend it with leather. I'm not sure what to call it though. Maybe Spicy leather or something. I just made a blend of cinnamon stick and leather and it smells pretty good if you like leather. I think Blazing Saddles will be the name for that one LOL!
