TartAddict Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I was reading the thread about combining Love Spell and Vanilla Silk (two scents I would never have thought to put together) and it got me thinking. What are your favorite FO combinations (and where did you get the FOs you like)? I would love to hear them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartAddict Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 p.s. I'm trying to figure out some good combos for my tarts, I've been cutting Yankee tarts (just not strong enough for me) in half and mixing scents , but decided I'd rather make my own and you guys seem to have some great suggestions!

homespun5 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 My favorite combination is Sun-N-Sea (Lonestar) & Cotton Fresh (Cajun Candle Supply). I dye it a reddish orange and name it Sunrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENISE72598 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Love to mix Lavender & Vanilla.....you wouldn't think it would smell good...but it is so soothing. I buy from C&S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 One of my faves is mixing leather and mountain lake (both peak) and calling it Cowboy. :drool: :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I suppose I would have to say lavender and chamomile, but I hate picking lol! Jasmine and Rose is nice together, cherry and plum, patchouli and sandalwood ... this could go on and on lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShellyRobyn Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 1/3 of each- Cinnamon, Spruce and Fr. Vanilla- all Peaks. It's a wonderful Christmas FO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartAddict Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 These sound fabulous! I'm afraid I'm going to go broke buying FOs !!Thanks so much for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Ordering FO's and getting them in the mail is my favorite thing about candle making.....paying for them is what I hate the most. My daughter loves lavendar and vanilla passion (Peak's). I call it Lavendar Passion. Thing is, I don't acutally like it. My family likes it too....hate that when that happens!

sockmonkey Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Heather and AppleI created a scent in a sugar scrub that I haven't been able to duplicate, but it was so refreshing and energizing, I LOVED IT! This may sound nasty, but with the right mix it was delightful...Bermuda Triangle, Bayberry, & Raspberry Cream. The predominant scent was citrus. I wish I could remember the ratios!

Indescent Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Pink Sugar and Cashmere makes a wonderful combo. Depending on where you get the Cashmere, it could be strong, so you may want to double up on the Pink Sugar. I call mine Pink Cashmere (like the Prince song ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 If we combined Stormwatch and Lavender, could that be Purple Rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyvega Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I made a couple of pillars awhile back with fresh linen and jasmine (called it fresh jasmine) - peak fresh linen, not sure about the jasmine...smelled great, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartAddict Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 You guys are a riot Indescent..LOVE the idea of Pink Sugar and Cashmere. Pink Sugar is one of my faves, never tried Cashmere, but I think I'm gonna give it a whirl Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indescent Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Tart,You will love it! It is such a rich and deep fragrance; I'm still trying to play with toning it down b/c I want more of the sweetness to come through. Otherwise it is a very sexy scent.

Indescent Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Came back to say that I played with SweetCakes' Tide and Longwyck's Fresh Linen (call it Laundry Day) and it is AWESOME. Fully intend on making a smelly jelly for my laundry room-- its great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolas Lights Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm experimenting with Strawberries and cream with Lemon pound cake to make a strawberry lemonade. Gotta tone down the lemon a little bit, but I'm getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 My favs are lavender and eucalyptus tied with lavender and chamomile.I once burned a verbena berry and a banana nut bread candle in the same room at the same time and I have to say that burning together they really smelled nice. Some day I will try mixing them together in one candle. DS once took some of my creme brulee tarts and threw them in the melter with a tropical papaya and said the smell was actually wonderful together. Who'd have thought?
