birdcharm Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) I was looking around for a maple scent and found myself at Mill Creek. They have a few scents that would help round out my selection this year. I read some reviews of a few of their scents ("High Cotton" was given good reviews as well as some others, but not ones I'm looking for) ... I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with some of the following ... Spiced Cranberry 033 Cranberry, orange, and pomegranate combined with cinnamon, clove and vanilla blended together to create this top selling favorite. Spiced Plum 119 Rich, plump, purple plums are accented with sun ripped blackberries and juicy grapes enveloped in spicy undertones containing cinnamon bark, ground clove and vanilla spice. Body Safe, FP212 Warm Vanilla Oak 197 Warm, rich, wood fragrance combines bottom notes of sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, and raspberry with mid notes of violet, eucalyptus, spicy cinnamon and clove, with light top notes of orange and bergamot. Great scent! Body Safe. FP165 White Pine 050 Holiday tradition of finding the perfect Christmas tree. Incredible deep Northwood evergreen scent that guys love. Body Safe. FP200 Grated Nutmeg 074 Warm spice blend with nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Popular home scent year-round. FP200 Twigs & Berries 134 Mountain berries, raspberries, peaches, plums, tangerines and ripe figs. The heart blends fresh lilacs, blue violets, hyacinth, sweet pine and woody cedar. The base is oak moss, musk, vanilla, woody vetiver. Body Safe. FP194 Vermont Maple Sugar 063 Creamy sweet vanilla is blended with rich maple and warm toasted pecans that makes you want to say 'bring on the pancakes! Body Safe. FP147 Cinnamon Sticks 011 Full bodied, hot cinnamon aroma that is an excellent housewarming scent. FP200 Mineral Springs 196 Spa inspired of ozone notes blended with fresh ginger, notes of jasmine, leafy greens, musk, sandalwood finishing with a splash of zesty lemon. Body Safe, FP 180 Balsam & Spice 004 Delightful spicy pine with a top note of sweet orange, cinnamon and clove. The heart is warm pine with lavender, pimento berry, eucalyptus and cedar. The base is a fir balsam musk. Commonly renamed Christmas Past for the holidays. Body Safe. FP169 Mint Candy Cane 026 A blast of true peppermint, sure to awaken the senses. Excellent scent for your holiday line and your bath and body products. Body Safe. FP200 Thanks in advance for any pointers!

GailC Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I like a lot of Mill Creek FO's but Vermont Maple Sugar was very light to me in soy wax, as was Butter Rum Crunch. I personally did not like the scent of Twigs & Berries. I do have samples of Grated Nutmeg and Spiced Plum and I like them OOB. The FO's I have used and really like are: High Cotton - one of my favorite Cotton smells Backroads - This one is good and unique. A dupe of YC Storm Watch Grandma's Kitchen - Good Apple Spice Seaside - Haven't had this one for awhile because I ordered Ocean scents elsewhere, but it's one of the best Oceans, and I should have stuck with it. Chestnuts & Brown Sugar - Totally different from JS Chestnuts & Brown Sugar. Not as buttery but I like both Harvest Spice - One of my favorite Cinnamon Spice scents Hillbilly Homebrew - another good spicy scent Splendid Butter Pecan - out of this one, but I liked it Southern Hospitality - Juniper Breeze Type Bayberry - Nice Christmas Fragrance I haven't bought many of those you asked about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi Gail, Thanks for the information about the maple! I only use Twigs & Berries as a mixer ... that scent seems to be a little odd by itself, regardless of the supplier! I may try the Nutmeg and Spiced Plum. Also thanks for your description of Harvest Spice and Hillbilly Homebrew. I've got to get into my scent closet and do some sniffing before I can order anything from any place, but I'm trying to get some of my thoughts in order, so you're reply has helped!

GailC Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 @birdcharm, You're welcome. I just pulled out my box of MC samples and I do have a sample of Spiced Cranberry. wish I was better at describing FO's for people. I smell the spices and the orange. It is good OOB, totally different from Spiced Plum. I smell the plum more than the spice, but I like it. I have other samples that you didn't ask about: I've only smelled them OOB Butt Naked - too cherry for me Amish Quilt - Mostly Apple Spice to me, but good. Autumn Leaves - has that earthy smell in with the fruit Vanilla Chai - Not sure about this one. Probably wouldn't buy a large size, I like Flaming's Chai which is cinnamony Home & Hearth - good if you like a little smokiness, which I really don't Satin Sheets - Pretty nice, it's a clean scent Little Black Dress - Don't know about this one either. Really unique Raspberry Guava - I would like to buy this one someday for summer. Really like it Green Bamboo - I would also like this one for summer One I didn't mention is Arctic Air. I really like this one, so different. I have burned it for myself, and bought a big bottle but haven't made any more. Not sure if it would be a good seller. Japanese Cherry Blossom is wonderful in soap, but I don't like it in candles. I have used Mango Papaya and Monkey Farts before and liked them both. Also Cozy Home is a good strong spiced apple. I don't like the sample of Flirt I have at all. Old lady perfume. Wait, I'm an old lady. I should like it. Let's see what else. Pear & Vanilla Bean is a little light, but I like it. I got Cinnamon Ginger once when it was on sale, and I think it has a weird smell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen M Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) have used these: Pears and berries-good passionate kisses-loved this berry crème brulee-strong, blow your socks off honeysuckle vine-nice floral magenta nectar-my favorite, never sold well though Edited September 9, 2018 by Karen M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 @GailC and @Karen M.... thanks much for the tips! I haven't put together an order yet. I guess I should just try to get some samples sometime. I was hoping that they use that smaller Regional Box so I could add a couple of items that are a bit larger, but they don't use it. The regular flat rate box is much bigger, so I would need to build my order more to fill the box better and I'm not there right now, but I will certainly keep these notes for possible future reference!

barbaranj Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 One that I didn’t see mentioned was Fireside Musk. All year round scent IMO. Fireside Musk 203 Curl up by the fire with this blend of warm sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and light musk that form the base for mid notes of violet and, jasmine and mingle with light citrus top notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I found this post in my quest to see if Millcreek was still operating - been going through my embarrassing amount of fragrance oils and found 1 big bottle of hardly any left artic air…..omg I love this scent, it was a dream back when I used 415 and I can’t believe I didn’t even know I had any left I seriously assumed they were oob like so many other suppliers I used over 10 years ago I was just on their site and contemplating getting some more arctic air …..last thing I need is more fragrance seeing I’m cleaning out crap I didn’t even know I had 🤦♀️ BUT this was such a good one Are there recent users of this company out there with coconut wax or apricot wax …. I’m not going to put the cart before the horse this time around 😂 Edited October 28, 2021 by moonshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
