Incendia Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've seen scents with names of Leather, Tobacco, Dirt, Gunpowder, even One Night Stand (though I prefer FoHo's, lol). I think I've even seen Republican/Democrat scents. I've seen adult beverages - wines, margaritas, bourbons, etc I've seen all sorts of sweet bakery scents - cookies, pies, cakes, cobblers, waffles... And obviously the staple woodsy, fruits and florals. ....and I'm sure they all have their followers... But where are the savory scents? The serious comfort foods? Aside from the occasional Bacon, where is Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Chicken Noodle Soup, Baking Bread, Peanut Butter, Caramelized Onions, Fried Eggs and Sausage, Roast Beef, Fried Chicken, ...and Stuffed Roast Turkey? What could be a better holiday scent, lol? Especially if one is a serious low-carber. I write this obviously in jest, but have scents such as these ever been marketed, or do suppliers just not want to offend the vegan/vegetarian contingent? More likely, they probably think they wouldn't sell. Which brings us back to 'dirt', 'Gunpowder', etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I think some savory scents would sell quite well. I would love my home to smell like some of those you mentioned. I did once have a really good fresh baked bread, I think it was from GW, very yeasty smelling I guess would describe it, but sadly that one didn't sell well. Fried Chicken and mashed potatoes, I would love! lol I highly doubt it's to prevent offending someone because some of the names are way out there.

grama Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Give me a sausage scent, also love to find a straight garlic! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I ordered 3 samples from SOS over the weekend. The site is a bit overwhelming. They have many of the ones you noted, grama they even have a straight sausage. I was looking for a dupe of the original Old Spice. I ordered an ounce but will probably not go forward with it since a pound of it will run me over $60.00. Karen in MA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendia Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info, kfin. For the acronym challenged like me, SOS = Save on Scents I think the only savory scent I might be truly interested in would be Roast Turkey. That just spells out the holidays to me. It might drive me crazy however, so I think I'll stick with a conifer scent. Edited February 28, 2017 by Incendia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I loved Fresh Baked Bread and it sold like hot cakes (sorry about the pun), it smelled just like bread baking in the oven. I forgot where I purchased it from...perhaps Sweet Cakes or Brambleberry? Buttery Croissant from Backwoods is wonderful as well and a lot cheaper. WSP has a great one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the lilac & linen or the lilac lemonade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Save on Scents has some really crazy fragrances. Like Roast Beef, Bacon, Barbecue, Ham, Beef Jerky, Mac and Cheese, Hungry Man Dinner. I've not ever tried any of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHERE DID YOU GET THE BREAD SCENTS FROM? I've been looking everywhere. I found one in the UK, but was hoping to find one closer. (I don't know what GW is. DIdn't see it on the list.)

General Wax, not sure they still have it but worth a check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasllyn - WSP is a dead ringer for a baking bread scent. Backwoods has a more prominent butter note adding that scent of creaminess to it. Both are wonderful and worth giving a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm placing an order with WSP, are there any other spot-on scents you recommend?

soshiegirl Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can send you an ounce of the Buttery croissant as I don't have any more of the WSP scent on hand. Just PM me if interested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstar, I had samples of them and remember sniffing them and liking them but had something similar to it already (made myself). I don't have one Backwoods oil that hasn't thrown like an outfielder in the world series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
