MaggieMay Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I am adding candles to my Line of products and I am a thinking the theme of Country or Prim..all labeled with Kraft labels and kraft hang tags...done in deep colors. burgundy, hunter green, denim blue, sage, plum, harvest gold etc......I am going to use Soy Wax....I am wondering what types of scents I should have and if you could recommend which would be a good seller with a strong fragrance, and where to buy.......also what colosr would suit the scent....I am sorry for so many question I just don't know where to begin....Can you all help me out please.....this will be greatly appreciated..Hugs Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Seems like when you're going Prim, that most of the scents that would go with that theme would be bakery and fruit scents. I'm not into bakery scents myself, although I do like a few. Two that I do like from Peak are Amish Harvest and Cornucopia. I would think that Creme Brulee, Apple Pie, Creamy Praline Pecan, and some of their other bakery scents would be nice to add to your line as well. I've tried all of those that I mentioned, but for me, they just get too sweet after awhile, and I can never burn them for very long...but that's just me...bakery fans would probably love them. There are just so many scents out there to try so it's best to get some samples first to see what is pleasing to your own nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boggled Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think of the spices as well ... so anything with clove, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, spice would probably work.Exactly what I was thinking. Closer to the fall you could also mix pine and orange for a nice orange and evergreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
