Karen Ov Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 How do you pick floral fo's for spring and summer if your not into them to much ? Eventually I would like to sell candles, so its hard for me to pick some out, like is jasmine better than lilac? Sometimes I think that some of the fo's i have ordered would smell better in soap than a candle. When i read descriptions of floral they sound like they would smell good but not sure what those types of flowers smell like. Thanks 💐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm not much into them either but lavender is very popular. I also like chocolate orchid from Nature's Gardens. There are a couple more that I like but I can't think of them right off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks..maybe I will start with a lemon or vanilla lavendar ..I had this lavendar pillow mist, smelled so good but then I smelled this other lavendar spray and it wasn't so good lol..so maybe I would like a mix better.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't make candles but I dislike almost all florals. However, I found a Lavender Mashmallow that I really like. Make it in soap and scrubs and was a hit with my customers as well. I got it from Just Scents but have seen it elsewhere recently (can't remember). Cantaloupe Lily is nice as well. I do make and sell straight up Lavender and Lilac. (curse them while making). That's about the extent of my florals in my line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 WSP has a nice, soft floral thats not in your face rose. I think its called rose lemonade ??? If your looking for a lilac they also have 2 different lilacs that are very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't care for floral scents, but some of my customers do. One only buys Lily of the Valley candles and melts. I get mine from Nature's Garden. That scent also sold fairly well in the store where I have a wholesale account. A couple of others that sell sometimes are Honeysuckle and Lilac. I much prefer the floral blends. One of my favorites is Cantaloupe & Lily from Aztec. I also like Aloe & White Lilac and Water Lily & Jasmine, both from Nature's Garden.

BusyBee Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I am floral scent lover, and it looks like I am the only floral scent lover in this post. 😊 If I am correct, I believe best sellers of floral scents in candle industry are Lily of the Valley & ylang ylang. Maybe it's the name that makes them popular because I don't find them impressive as floral person. My favorite floral scents are Fresh Cut Roses & Jasmine manufactured by Atlantis Aromatics in New Jersey, and I get them from their supplier "California Candle Supply". I use 464 also, so it should work well for you. I get a lot of request for Lavender, but I haven't found one that I like yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
