mzphee Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Happy New Year!!!! 🎊🎆 its been awhile since I posted but I’m still at it. I have a new assignment a friend of mine would like me to launch a candle line for her business. I am very excited about, her business is geared toward marriages. So she gave me a few scents that “google” named as romantic scents. I am having a very hard time with white pepper and spicy scent. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ginger,pepper, what else would be. Good blend... I cant 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Bergamot, lemon or orange all blend very nicely with Ginger as well as with black pepper. I've never used white pepper but probably similar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I love love love ginger lime. Taking it further, ginger, lime, and coconut blended together is truly awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Ginger & Peach. You could go really easy on the peach to sweeten up a sharp ginger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True white pepper could have kind of a funky musty note, so maybe look for Black Pepper or other Peppercorn scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just remembered one of my all time favorite scents was a blend of white pepper and clove. Totally awesome! Filmore carried this a while back then discontinued it. Pity, it was awesome! But it seems to me that white pepper should mix well with other spices; cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamon, star anise, ginger, etc. It may also work well with notes of fruits like citrus, and also wood notes like cedar or sandalwood or teak. Where did you get the white pepper anyway? Is it a single note fragrance or a blend to smell like white pepper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerven Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 White pepper made me curious, so I had to do a bit of browsing. Believe it or not, Save On Scents has a Petrol & White Pepper FO that has notes of pepper, violet leaf, eucalyptus, cardamom, motor oil (WHAT???), musk, and cedarwood. Consider me intrigued. White pepper blends well with several herbal and citrus scents. Grapefruit and white pepper sounds great, although I don't know how well ginger and grapefruit would turn out. White pepper could be used in a chai tea inspired fragrance, perhaps with a little rose for the romantic aspect... white pepper, maybe some pink pepper, a little ginger, some clove, coriander or cardamom, a little rose, black tea... Bergamot, clary sage, fennel, geranium, lavender, juniper, ylang-ylang, mandarin, lime, lemon, and sandalwood are good blenders. Evergreens, cypress, nutmeg, myrrh, jasmine, and osmanthus might work. Cranberry? For pre-blended FOs, there are a few white pepper and lavender scents available. Just Scent has Silk Blossom, a dupe, with notes of white pepper, bergamot, apricot, silk, jasmine, rose, moss, and heliotrope - no ginger. Keystone Candle Supply has an old Peak FO on clearance: White Pepper. No description. Candlescience's Caribbean Teakwood has notes of peppercorn, ginger, spice, tobacco leaf, teakwood, sandalwood, amber, and dark musk. IDK if I would say that peppercorn is a white peppercorn, but it's a nice FO IMO... although it's not exactly romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura C Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) All those scents you all are mentioning sound like they would smell great. One of my favorites is Sage. Edited January 23, 2019 by Laura C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
