TexasBrat Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just got this yesterday. Yuck! I thought it would be good since it said it was a Bath and Body spa scent. Ick! I don't think I will be adding it to scrubs or bath and body. Has anyone used this in wax? I am not planning on making candles but am wanting to make melts so am wondering how this scent is in wax. tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I haven't sniffed this and it isn't in my box coming in tomorrow. Glad to hear your review though. I try to stay away from the stinkie Fos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Maybe it should be called Tahiti Stinkie:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I ordered a sample size of this because it sounded like it would smell pretty good, but when I sniffed it, didn't care for it at all! Glad I didn't buy a big bottle of this stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Don't get the Tahitian Daquiri either...it's dreadful! It smells like unbelievably sweet, syrupy marachino cherries...HATED IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayarx8 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 If you mix the Tahitian Dacquiri with Tropical Rain (also from JS), it makes a great scent for B&B! Ive made perfume and soap with that mix and guys seem to love it on the women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't buy a big bottle of this stuff! I wasn't smart, I ordered 8oz. Don't get the Tahitian Daquiri either...it's dreadful! It smells like unbelievably sweet, syrupy marachino cherries...HATED IT! Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsglass Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Okay, now you've got me wondering what Tahiti Sweetie smells like. Please...do tell! Maybe it's salvageable if mixed with another scent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Darn! I ordered both of the scents mentioned here. I have smelled anohther Tahiti Sweetie from another place and it smelled wonderful. Guess I'll have to try mixing it with Tropical Rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I wish I knew how to explain why I don't like it or what I don't like. It has this weird bite to it that is just stinky to me. At first it smells okay but then this nasty scent lingers on. It can't be all that bad really, must be me or maybe it will be great in a candle.

AngelaVA Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Honestly, I bet it will smell a lot better once you get it in wax. There have been many scents that I hated OOB, but in wax they just blossom. So, stick some FO in a tart or something and see what it smells like.

TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks Angela, it's good to hear that some oof are not good but great in candle/tarts. I'll post when I do, but that might be awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks Angela, it's good to hear that some oof are not good but great in candle/tarts. I'll post when I do, but that might be awhile.I can wait, lol. I'm getting my own box of JS oils today to play with. I really have seen many oils take on new life in wax. I absolutely hated BC Spiced Cranberry OOB, but once in wax it was awesome and great for the holidays. There are quite a few that I try to at least put in a tart to see if I like it before I sell/give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I put the Tahitian Daquiri in a tart, but it was still sickenly sweet. It could just be me though, since I don't like sweet, syrupy scents to begin with. For those that like really sweet scents, especially marachino cherries...this might be right up your ally. Or like someone else suggested, mix it with another scent to tone it down a bit. I had to mix monkey farts with mango papaya in order to like it just a little bit, because alone it smelled terrible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I really like the Tahitian Dacquiri. My best friend just got home from Hawaii and asked me to make her a tropical candle. She's been burning that one and she loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesweet Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I love the Tahitian Daiquiri. The cherry is more evident in bath and body, but the coconut seems to come through much more in candles.I personally hate the Tahiti Sweetie, but bought a pound for my daughter who adores it. I've been testing IGI4786 since the J waxes have gotten so expensive and while I'm not thrilled with this wax so far, this scent had an awesome throw in it.

Sherri in Canada Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I got the Tahiti Sweetie too...a whole pound of it....lol gawd I hope my nose is different from yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 i can't believe it's a dupe of bbw's. just can't believe anyone would want to intentially smell like that. yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I also love the Tahitian Daquiri---it is wonderful in wax, great coconutty scent. I don't detect any cherry in this one, but every nose is different. We have been selling this one like crazy in our soy line. So get yours in wax before judging it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlekidd Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 So far I've had great luck with the Tahiti Sweetie! My take on the Tahiti Sweetie was that it was more of a spa scent than a perfume type....I promote it as an aromatherapy - feel good scent.I can't smell the cherry in the Tahitian Daquiri - both of these oils have sold very well!

whiffandsniff Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I haven't ordered from Tahati Sweetie yet because I'm not much of a floral kinda gal but I did recently order Tahititan Daquiri after getting a sample of it with an order I placed awhile ago and bought a lb of it because I liked it so much and I thought it would sell good this summer. BRING ON THE TAHITIAN DAQUIRI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I haven't smelled the Tahiti sweetie but I didn't care for the Tahitian daquiri either (I've got a sample in the classys right now ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativecandles Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Love both of these, they are really good in wax and bath products! I dont' get that weird note at all, I love Tahiti Sweetie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have tested the tahiti sweetie in pure soy with no success of a hot throw. I now have plans of using it in bath salts. I personally like the fruity smell whereas others are not to keen on it. Speaking of the Tahitian Daquiri, I only received a sample and the OOB smell I'm detecting is a coconut top note. If anybody has used the TD and can give their experience in soy, it would be interesting to find out before purchasing a lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayarx8 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have used the Tahitian Dacquiri in pure soy and it threw very well with 48 hours of curing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
