Michi Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I want to try out some of the more "wintery" and/or holiday scents, plus I'm still looking for a Cherry for the wedding I'm doing in March. What do you think of these scents that I picked, reviews would be nice. Amish HarvestButtermint CandiesFrosted Carrot CakeGreen Clover & AloeHome For the HolidaysMountain LakeSage & LemongrassSpruce Christmas TreeSugar Plum BerriesWild CherryHas anyone tried Peak's Wild Cherry? How does it throw for you? Is it a strong Cherry scent? I really want to find an OUTSTANDING cherry for these wedding favors I'm doing, as this is my very first order, and I want to make a good impression KWIM? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I think they look pretty good, my only thing is the sugar plum berries. JUST MY OPINION, but I hate it. It stinks. And I have almost a full lb of it here you can have! :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yummy too!Green Clover & Aloe - haven't tried, but wouldn't think of as a "wintery" scentHome For the Holidays - holiday scent, not much of a Christmas tree smell fan thoughMountain Lake - good for the menSage & Lemongrass - nice, but wouldn't think too much of a "wintery" scent eitherSpruce Christmas Tree - haven't triedSugar Plum Berries - haven't tried myself, but have smelled and I don't like itWild Cherry - haven't tested, but really strong OOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Amish Harvest - Awesome scent, awesome thrower. Perfect for Fall.Buttermint Candies - Great for Christmas. Smells like those after dinner mints.Frosted Carrot Cake - Absolutely divine. Good enough to eat.:smiley2: Mountain Lake - One of my faves. Great "guy" scent.Sugar Plum Berries - Don't like this one at all.If you don't like Peak's Wild Cherry, I just got a sample of Cherry Blossom from Just Scent and it is REALLY GOOD!

Trish Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I didn't realize you were looking for reviews until I reread! LOLAmish Harvest - Crazy strong in 1945!!Buttermint Candies - smells good OOB, but haven't poured itFrosted Carrot Cake - same as aboveGreen Clover & Aloe - did not throw for me in 1945Home For the Holidays - I sold quite a few of this last year in J50, haven't tested in 1945Mountain Lake - nice masculine scent but haven't tested in 1945Sage & Lemongrass - smelled like lemon pledge to me, lolSpruce Christmas Tree - *ack* I can't stand those pine smells but I know several people love this!Sugar Plum Berries - posted earlier about this. *blech*Wild Cherry - smells strong OOB but never poured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 If you don't like Peak's Wild Cherry, I just got a sample of Cherry Blossom from Just Scent and it is REALLY GOOD!I have the cherry blossom too, but it's not a wild cherry or "true" cherry scent. When it's in wax, you can really smell the "blossom". it's very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yah Angela, some of the ones I picked are just ones I've been wanting to try and figured I'd order them now. So, Home for the Holidays is a "pine" scent? Spruce Christmas is also a "pine" scent? Hmmm I'm not big on pine scents, but everyone seems to really like this one, so I thought I'd give it a try. ??So, you have the wild cherry, but haven't tested it as of yet? Dang it, get busy woman!! LOL I really need to find a GREAT OUTSTANDING cherry FO for this wedding I'm doing, and really need to start testing (if I can ever find the dang tins I want!!!! ).Well, maybe I'll go back and delete one of the "piney" FO's. ??Decisions, Decisions........ :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Just my opinionAmish Harvest - Great scent for all seasonsButtermint Candies - haven't tried itFrosted Carrot Cake - OOB fantasticGreen Clover & Aloe - haven't tried itHome For the Holidays - Great holiday scentMountain Lake - Love it, masculine but fresh scentSage & Lemongrass - haven't tried itSpruce Christmas Tree - great Christmas scent, was told by a customer it was the only pine ype sscent that didn't smell like those cheap car freshenersSugar Plum Berries - dipped pine cones in it last yr. great cold throwWild Cherry - made some tarts with this, was told they smelled like the Vicks cherry cough drops.Have you tried red current? I just made some votive with it. Great cold and hot throw and would work for fall and winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm testing the Wild Cherry now. I like it, I think. I would consider it a medium strength FO. It kinda has a 'sweet' smell, puts me in mind of koolaid brand cherry.I have yet to find a pine scent that puts me in mind of the pine trees in my back yard. I was thinking of maybe mixing the 2 I've got & see if that helps.I never thought of home for the holidays as piney. Kinda has a 'sweet' smell to it. Smells a little cinammony to me. This is just in reference to the cold throw. Haven't yet burned it to test the hot throw.lol. Again, I laugh at the subjectivity of scent. I think it's interesting that different ppl smell differently. I just love the uniqueness of us human beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea!I think the Wild Cherry smells like the Luden's throat lozenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 To me Home for the Holiday smells like baking for the holidays not a pine scent. I'm clueless as to the diff. between pine and spruce scents. They all smell like Christmas trees to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Home for the Holidays has some pine in it, but not an over abundance. Spruce Xmas Tree -- belongs in the pine family, but you aren't going to get a pine-sol whiff on this one. It's a very nice spruce tree.

SatinDucky Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I must be an odd ball becuase I live the sugar plum berries and want to get some! If it weren't for shipping costs on small orders I would have it already. I haven't poured it, but I got a votive of it in the last swap I agree with the spruce christmas tree. Not pine but definatly strong spruce and brings a christmas tree to mind immediately.Frosted carrot cake.. LOVE it!Mountain Lake - okay scent, but not sure about for holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not big on Cherry scents, but this one is great. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thanks for all your "reviews" lol. Again, I laugh at the subjectivity of scent. I think it's interesting that different ppl smell differently. I just love the uniqueness of us human beans.This is sooooo true, and I guess the only thing to do really is try them out for ourselves, I just wanted to kind of get an "idea" of people's preferences, and such, b/c if I had it my way, I would NEVER purchase/pour anything that smelled like trees, or blueberries or buttermints, and such. LOLJust like with this cherry FO hunt I'm on, I'm not a real big fan of cherry scents, (they just smell really "fake" which they are I guess, b/c REAL cherries don't really have a cherry scent at all??) but the girl I'm doing the wedding favors for is a BIG cherry fan, and wants them in cherry, not black cherry, not cherry vanilla, but CHERRY. I've had a cherry blossom and have smelled the one that BBW carries, but don't think that that scent is anywhere near a cherry scent, and wouldn't be at all what she is looking for, thanks though.But, I want to make a variety of scents that will attract the "majority" of people/customers etc. and I know that I can't just rely only on what *I* like, KWIM?? I HAVE tried the red currant and it's one of my FAVS from Peak, along with the many many others! Anywho- still haven't placed my order yet, still wishy washy on what to get, I hate this, having to make a decision on just 10 scents LOL.Thanks again!!

Michi Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Just go ahead and pick 20 - order TWO samplers Yah, easy for you guys to say!! I still haven't ordered, I have a major problem with making decisions, drives my hubby crazy! I'll probably end up ordering two sampler packs, though I really wanted to order a sampler pack from Just Scent also. HmmmmmSo much to order and have fun with and sooooo little money to do so.
