WYJen Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yes yes...I know I need to get London Lemon Curd...I've been resisiting temptation for too long and since they now have the Chocoholics dupe from Aquolina, I definitely have to order. So...anyone have any recommendations for other good ones from there? Anything I can't live without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleygrls98 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 sorry I have to say it but everything ...... I really like the white peach !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 If you make anything for men, the Green Irish Tweed is yummy. I love the Andalusian Olive Blossom too, and Mango Lassi, and Cannoli, and Belgian Chocolate.... and a few others lol. Just wish they weren't so $$.

Gypsyjen Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If you like woodsy type scents, the Cedarwood Mint and the Osage Orange Wood are terrific. I really like the new Chinatown dupe, but haven't used it yet - can't decide whether to soap it or wax it! The Kwa Luk Lychee Fruit is very yummy & strong in CP. And their Shaw Mudge Red Currant is the FO that Votivo uses in their Red Currant candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have to second the Green Irish Tweed and it's on sale this week. The Sweet Pea & Sandalwood, Linden Green Tea and Clementine Lavender are fantastic. I received sniffies of Tupelo Honey, Zest Aqua Pure and Eucalyptus & Thyme and they are nice as well.

lindsaycb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think the majority of their fragrances work for me...I just love them.Now I don't have the name in front of me...but the amber de nepal ??? makes me swoooooon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativecandles Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 How does the London Lemon Curd compare, to say JS lemon sugar or Daystar Ice Box Lemon Pie? I really like both of these....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniedb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ambra di Nepal - very sexy and romanticNeroli di Orsini - very true to the orange blossom. I've been on a hunt for a while, and I am very happy with this one.Others I've tried - Tuscan Tomato & Basil - very basil-y and food smelling. You'd have to have a specific market for it. Iced Keenum Black Tea - I can see it in soap, but not really in other B&B, very tea smelling, tannic and strong.Malabar Peppercorn - I LOVE it as a sniffie, but don't want to recommend it just because I haven't tried it in anything. DELISH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnmyer Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I like a lot of SW oils but the LLC smells like lemon pound cake IMO. I think you could get that elsewhere for a lot less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyer's moon Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 SW Sandalwood Vanilla is my very favorite followed closely by Ambra de Nepal! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 How does the London Lemon Curd compare, to say JS lemon sugar or Daystar Ice Box Lemon Pie? I really like both of these.......The Curd is something unique. Like a lot of CTers (and Dishers, etc etc) I've tried a bunch of other Lemon type FOs and have yet to find anything that has that certain something (je ne sais quoi) that smells just like the Curd. I would have to say I don't think it smells like Lemon Pound Cake either. I've smelled and poured both the FOs you've mentioned and while they are nice, they are not THE CURD Yep I love this FO. I truly wish I could find a less expensive dupe, but until then, I'll gladly pay for it. My customers think it's pretty too!THE CURD ROCKS!

Michi Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yep, LLC does not smell anything like Lemon Sugar (which I detect a strong brown sugar note in this) and I didn't care for the Ice Box Lemon Pie (too rotteny vanilla smelling IMO).LLC is just in a league all it's own, I'm tellin' ya, it's the BEST. My hubby just all over me when I was using a scrub that Guppygirl sent me that was scented with this. I LOVE the Mango Lassi as well.Tarte Au Citron is another one I really like, but I was wearing it the other day (made a body spray) and mom didn't care for it, and even said she thought it too strong, whereas I was thinking it was such a light scent. Just goes to show you how different opinions can be on the same scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 It's funny how strong suggestion is. I had an 8 oz bottle of LLC and it's fine. It's a good scent, I can see why people like it, but I don't care for sweet citrus scents, so I sold it. Every time I read one of Malinda's posts, or someone else who adores it, it kinda makes me wonder if I should have gotten rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 No you should have sold it to me lol! I have a friend that I had said nothing to about how much I loved this, and gave her a sugar scrub to sample. She called me the next day just RAVING about it. Her Mom bought a whole B&B set from me too. Some people just love it. It just makes me happy when I smell it Now that we have hijacked this thread.... The only thing I've gotten from SW that made me gag was Kiwi Kicker. I forgot to mention that I also like the Linden Green Tea, that one is very nice too.

donna4909 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 To me, LLC smells like a lemon cream cookie.Does anyone know how the Greenleaf version of LLC is going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I agree with you Donna. I like the curd in scrubs and lotions, not CP.I LOVE Sweetcakes Fresh Lemon Sugar in anything. It is the BOMB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shisha Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I love their Mysore Sandalwood. To me, it's as close to the real thing as it gets. The Sandalwood Vanilla is too sweet for me, personally, but it's a great seller. If I can get someone to sniff it, they buy it (in soap and body oil).

CandleCouture Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm dying to try about 50 of their scents, as it seems to be precisely what I'm looking for in terms of comlex, exotic blends, however, the fact that they seem more geared towards bb than towards candles, worries me slightly but, I guess it's about testing and testing.

ChandlerJane Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 If you like woodsy type scents, the Cedarwood Mint and the Osage Orange Wood are terrific. I really like the new Chinatown dupe, but haven't used it yet - can't decide whether to soap it or wax it! The Kwa Luk Lychee Fruit is very yummy & strong in CP. And their Shaw Mudge Red Currant is the FO that Votivo uses in their Red Currant candles.Out of curiosity, do we know for sure that it is the Shaw Mudge oil that Votivo uses? I ask because I have a Votivo Red Currant in front of me (an actual one) and I have a candle poured using the shaw mudge oil bought from Scent Works, and, while they are VERY close, they are not quite identical.I'm asking cause I've read this same thing (the fact that they use the Shaw Mudge oil), several different times on this board. I know that on the Scent Works site, they state it's the Votivo oil, but, are we sure on this, cause I'm 95% sure that there is a very slight difference.

CareBear Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Just soaped with Tonic (Clarins type) and adore it. I have a whole shelf of others to soap with but I'm trying to resist. Not succeeding, mind you, but trying.The Lychee is super strong. Had to put it in the garage to age (CP) and I only used it at 0.7ppo. At 2 weeks it's still kick-a$$ strong. Not sure how I feel about it - very very sweet (exactly like it was OOB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I love their scents-think many smell complex. Green Tweed is my favorite for guys and I really like the Linden Green Tea, China shop, Sweet Violet & lots more! Out of about 25 sniffies there were only 5 I didn't like and that is not the way it usually goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 How in the world can you guys soap at .7 pp? I want my soap to stand up, look me in the eye and slap me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
