ah-soy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm not a great fan of floral scents but thought I would order and test some samples before spring...(I'm in AZ so Spring type weather comes sooner for us ) I've poured NG's Gardenia and Plumeria in my 70/30 with great results but have no idea what else to try. I'd appreciate any suggestions before I place my sample order. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm definetley not a floral fan either, so picking them has become difficult. Some of the ones I've found that I *DO* like:NG's Downy Morning Glory & Honeysuckle (Hated it while pouring... ended up loving it when it was burning, go fig)NG's Downy Vanilla Lavender (Usually hate lavender scents, but really like this one... again, it's a headache while pouring, but burning it is fantastic)NG's Birds Of Paradise (Haven't poured this one yet.. just got a sample of it, and smells awesome OOB... nice slightly-tropical floral) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 JS Hyacinth Chula Orchid, Egyptian Rose Geranium and Peony are great florals. Also, Tristate Southern Jasmine and BCS Dogwood. All sell well for me since my customers love florals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
