Goldie Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi everyone!I make candles-have for a long time-just started with soy. Been making B&B for about 2 years. Great addictions to have. I have a hard time finding fragrances that I think smell good in a candle then to be able to use the same fragrance in a soap or lotion. The couple that I have liked in both are citrus and patchouli.Will you help me with ideas for FO's or EO's that will work well in candles and B&B?Thank you very much!

kathleen Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Some suppliers post how a particular scent works in soap & soy, such as Daystar. There are others, but my mind is blank right now. I'm sure someone will come along and add to the list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 howdy and welcome. White Tea & Ginger is awesome in both wax & b&b. I make candles, soap, lotion, shower gel, salt scrubs, etc. with it. Everyone loves it. another good one for both is mango papaya. Both FO I get from Peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I personally prefer most fresh scents or fruit scents for bath and body. NG's Crisp Clean Air is a great one for bath and body. I also like Mango Papaya (Peak), Moonlight Path (NG), Mandarin Bamboo (TW) and Herbal Ecstacy (TW). There's a whole bunch of other scents that I'd like in B&B, but I just can't think of them off the top of my head right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 hhmmm, a few that I have used in both soy and cp soap are (Peaks) Mango Papaya, Cuke melon, black raspberry vanilla, jamiaca me crazy, spiced cranberry. I have Peaks Lilac that I did cp, am getting ready to start testing in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 millcreek's fo's are tested in pure soy and most of their fo's are also bath & body safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Pretty much anything from The Scent Works (http://store.scent-works.com/index.html) works in B & B and candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
