CBeardly Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I realized that most of my FOs for Fall & Winter are foodie type scents. Do you have any recommendations for other scents? I love my bakery & food fragrances, obv., but I think I should expand my variety a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Maybe add some Christmas Tree / Pine type scents - Apple Harvest - maybe some type of cranberry or a pomegranate. Im like you, I like all the warm or foodie type scents, just not overly sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfroberts Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 These are a few that I like: Frasier Fir (CS), Christmas Hearth (CS), Northwoods Christmas (BCN), Winter Wonderland (Peak), Earthen Oak (FB), Leaves (TFC), Holly Berry (CS). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBeardly Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thank you for the replies. I forgot I actually do have a Witches Brew. I'll have to dig it out. The Christmas tree/pine should have been a no-brainer. I guess I just want to eat everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Sleigh Ride and Joyeux Noel are two more that I like in the Christmas scents. Merlin's forest to me is a fall sort of scent. Oregon Pine - love this one year round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get one called Sleigh Ride at The Candle Source along with Joyeux Noel and NG also has Sleigh Ride. I'm not quite sure which one she meant though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Rustic Lodge Apple Cinnamon (I don't view this as foodie) Butternut Pumpkin (It's foodie but it's good) Cinnamon spruce/pine types Cinnaberry Falling Leaves Leaves Autumn Leaves I'm still thinking ... but I think spice is so nice at this time of year. I'll be trying out Woolen Blanket this year I think. Edited September 18, 2016 by Scented 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Sleigh Ride & Joyeux Noel are from The Candle Source. The Merlin's Forest I have is from The Flaming Candle. Flaming candle also has a leaves, I don't remember the name because I rename it. Edited September 18, 2016 by kandlekrazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I believe Merlin's Forest Flaming duped it for a company that went out of business (can't remember which company it was.....it's on the tip of my tongue but can't rem.ember) Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I mixed AHrE falling leaves with dirt, grass stain and SweetCakes woodsmoke for a "sleepy hollow" that sold out upon release. Leather and pumpkin for "headless horseman". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 While I know you said non-foodie, I may have found my favorite foodie in the form of Grandma's Cupboard. Nothing like being late to the party, but I'm here lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Grass stain is a really good interpretation of fresh mowed grass by Brambleberry. a little grass stain with leather and pine wood and a touch of Apple is a good start toward "Horse Kisses", another blend that sells well to my oddball crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Oh moonstar, I have some of the BEST people to work with on new, unusual blends! Of those we come up with together at Faire all are huge hits with instant followings. Third week of Faire the "Badde Guys" told me what they think their scent should be. In their collective minds they should smell like leather, sweat, metal, and total badassery. I put together a biker leather, soft musk, Oud wood a few other things I can't recall and finished with clove. It is the very first scent I have completed that changes as you sniff it. A long sniff and it begins with leather, evolving into a side then a gentle musk, finishing with the spice. Smelling it again and the notes reverse. They loved it. As word spread, now The "Goode Guys" want theirs next week. They want salty air, Irish hillside and a few other things I should have written down.... eek. Pirate week we reveal Kracken and Glogg. This is the most favoritist part of my job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
