wilsonswix Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi all!! I just got an order from Peak and they sent me the new Hollyberry and Ivy as a free sample. Anyone try this?I've smelled it OOB, my BF & daughter all think it smells like the same thing.... used cat litterbox. Did I get a bad batch, or is it really icky?Im a little hesitant to put in wax for fear that all the neighborhood cats might think this is the place to go!! LOLTIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this as a free sample with my order...and wow, it's bad, I think it kinda smells like BO. Poured some votives with it to see if it was any better in wax, and it really wasnt....

MeltAMemory Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 OMG!!! Thats is to funny. I also got a free sample of this but could not get past the OOb scent to actually pour it into anything..LOL!!! I also think it smells like B.O. Glad to know it was just not me. I was to embarrased to ask what anyone else thought!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well crap, should have read this before I ordered it today...LOL. That is weird that people think it smells so bad. Well at least I will get to see what you are talking about....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Ok, I know this is an old thread, but I had to revive it - I just poured some hollyberry & ivy - granted, it is a VERY tart smell, but I have to disagree that it smells like litterboxes (I have three cats) - Wasn't crazy about it oob, and now that it's poured I'm still unsure, though it seems to be growing on me? I'll have to see how it smells while burning to make my final decision...any others care to chime in? I have to admit, though, if I was shopping for candles, I probably wouldn't pick this one up. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I ordered it thinking it would be a traditional Hollyberry, it smells like the leaves & bark of the bush to me. I am not thrilled at all, and won't be pouring it. My first & only disappointment from Peaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littysmom Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I got it as a freebie too.. still in the bottle and it can stay there!! All i can say is i am glad i didn't order it, i would have been PO'd since they don't refund on FO. I don't think i could give it away:tongue2: Blah!!

Maybe they will grow on you. Kind of like when you bring home eucalyptus, and it's too strong. After awhile it mellows. Might give it a try. Thanks for actually testing it in wax LOL!!
