cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi all, I'm very happy because I wrote to Alan and Nachelle, they told me they ship to italy!!!So far I tried:Country gardenCornucopiaStargazer lilySunflowerHoneysuckleemerald pearMountain pineTuscan nightsJamaica me crazyWhite tea & GingerTall grassBaby powderI was thinking to order a 10 samples pack, what are your advices?I'm not mad about spicy and cinnamom fragrances, and not so mad about floral (they smell almost the same to me, apart roses), but I guess I'd better try them anyway. Oh do peak have something like sage and citrus?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hey thats great that they will ship to Italy...They have a Blackberry Sage that I like..and they have a Cool Citrus Basil that really nice!

cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 thanks again, just one thing I'm wondering about.. why the 10 samples pack (10 bottles of 1 oz each) should weigh 2.2 lbs for shipping?Do I get a brick with them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 LOL I hope not..I would guess they figure in the weight of the packaging supplies and the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 isn't it too much for packaging?2.2 lbs=35 oz25 oz for a box?Are the small bottles made of glass or plastic?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyrn Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 My samples I just got were the amber glass bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thank you TraciI guess that's the reason why the shipping weight si so much differentMy samples I just got were the amber glass bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yeah, samples are sent in the glass bottles. I would recommend Sage and Lemongrass, Frosted Carrot Cake, Ocean, Raspberry, Lilac, French Vanilla and Amber, Blackberry Sage and/or Blackberrry Tea, Cool Citrus Basil and Strawberry Kiwi.

cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 thank you very much to all, Clean cotton is the same of Yankmee candles?If it's the same I would choose another sample because I have a Yankmee pillar scented Clean cotton adn I like it.What about fresh linen compared to clean cotton?

Scented Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You should just order one of each and be done with it lol!My picks:Green Clover & AloeJuniper BreezeCountry Berry HotcakesBlack Raspberry & VanillaFrench Vanilla & AmberLove SpellCantaloupe (or their Cantaloupe Melon)Sage & Lemongrass (quite nice)Red Clove (but you don't like spice, spice) Fruit SlicesSee and that leaves out the Cappuccino Hazelnut (which is fabo, even if you don't like coffee); better try their new one just in case -- Breakfast at Tiffany's (I haven't tried it yet so you can let us know lol); Gardenia; Georgia Peach; Jamaica Me Crazy; Lavender (a little goes a long way and is a great mixer too); Mango Papaya (so so so very succulent) ... and I think you get the idea that the list could go on and on lol!

sudsnwicks Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 thanks again, just one thing I'm wondering about.. why the 10 samples pack (10 bottles of 1 oz each) should weigh 2.2 lbs for shipping?Do I get a brick with them??No, there is no brick, hee hee. Each bottle is made of glass and weighs slightly over 2 ounces by itself (when empty). For a citrus and sage scent, I would recommend their Sage & Lemongrass. Other scents which are nice and not so common are their Blackberry Sage (not your typical fruit scent), Mediterranean Fig (has a very rich flavor), and Sweet Pea (not the typical floral scent). If you like chocolate, you could try their Fudge Brownie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks, I was just thinking abou chocolate.. I love chocolate.Sweet Pea was already one of the choices because I have another sample from candle supply central I think.. and I love it, so I bet Peak can only be better.Too many to choose from, I have to get them all lol!!No, there is no brick, hee hee.

Trish Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You've already had a ton of suggestions, but I'll throw my two cents in... Sweet PeaClean CottonFruit SlicesPink SugarWhite Tea & GingerCappuccino HazelnutAmish Harvest (might be too spicy for you, but it's sooo good!)Blackberry SageLovespell (if you like this scent...I hate it, but it's the best one IMO)I personally didn't have luck with the green clover & aloe or the sage & lemongrass.

cybersix Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 what should I do now????J/K, Trish, what do you mean when you say you had no luck with those scent?I forgot to say I only use paraffin for my candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 what should I do now????J/K, Trish, what do you mean when you say you had no luck with those scent?I forgot to say I only use paraffin for my candlesGreen clover & aloe had no hot throw for me. Cold throw was okay, but couldn't smell a thing when it was burning... Sage & lemongrass just smells like lemon pledge to me. LOL I know a lot of people love those two, they just didn't work for me.

Scented Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I ain't askin' what you've been smellin' lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I ain't askin' what you've been smellin' lol!Shooooot, I may be waaaay off then! Since I don't dust, I really don't remember what lemon pledge smells like!! ROFL And Peak's lemon pound cake smelled even more like cleaner to me!I tested a key lime pie once that smelled like pine-sol...So I have this new idea on my very own line of "clean scents":Pine-Sol (key lime pie)Lemon Pledge (lemon lb cake)Laundry Detergent (clean cotton)This way, we can burn the candles and when the significant other gets home, you can say "sure, it still looks cluttered, but I've been scrubbing all day!" ROFLMAO Ok, lame I know... :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
