Trish Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Any great suggestions for some new scents? Especially any strawberry blends (I already have strawberry kiwi, strawberry musk, strawberry melon,strawberry cheesecake) for a strawberry festival I'm doing in April. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Strawberry wine...lol...I'm sure you have strawberry jam...ummm....strawberry cake (YUMMY!), strawberry shortcake (don't forget the whipped cream), chocolate covered strawberries, strawberries & champagne...I saw a recipe for strawberry & lemon muffins...not sure about that one but could be yummy!Ok, I think that's all I have.

Trish Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 THanks for the suggestions, if you wouldn't mind, list the suppliers that you get these from...I've tried several strawberries and cream, and strawberry jams and didn't like any of them, so maybe someone has a suggestion on one I haven't tried. I'd like to find both of those! (and the chocolate covered strawberry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Oopsies...I don't actually have suppliers for many of those...lol...but I do have some mixing suggestions.Straw. & Champg-WSP has an awesome dupe of the VS Strw. & Champg. I love love love it!Strawberry Jam-I like the BCN strawberry jam. I've used it a lot as a mixer. Alone I think it smells more like strawberry ice cream (which might be a good one for you!)Chocolate Covered Strawberries-I did a layered candle with chocolate & the BCN strawberry jam and it smelled EXACTLY like chocolate covered strawberries. I used WSP Hot Fudge Brownie (BCN's Chocolate Raspberry Roll is a good choc. with a little something extra) and the BCN Strawberry Jam.Strawberry Cake/Strawberry Shortcake-Hmm...I think JS Frosted Pink Cupcake is close, but I'm not a big fan of it. I'd probably choose to mix this one. I'd do 25% Strawberry Jam and 75% of cake scent (my FAVORITE cake FO is BCS Red Velvet Cake--it smells exactly like a yellow cake baking). Then, I'd probably add a bit of the BCS Whipped Cream but that'd throw off the percentages...lolI'm not really sure about the strawberry & lemon muffins...maybe cake/lemon/strawberry....or maybe just strawberry/lemon.Hopefully someone will have a more realistic strawberry FO suggestion since all I've had experience w/ is the Strawberry Jam & Strawberries & Champagne.HTH!

Everytime I think I'm done with orders, I get more. And actually i do have his strawberry jelly (or was it preserves, I don't know.) but every single strawberry jam FO smells like plastic to me.

AngelaVA Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I like JS Strawberry Jam (no plastic smell for me, but your wax is funky, lol). It's also a lot stronger than BC, imho. JS Strawberry Spa is a really different take on strawberry. It's unique and not perfumey - throws well in parasoy.JS Strawberry White Cake is to die for yummy! She also has a Strawberry Pearl - I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, my wax IS funky and JS strawberry jam is really plastic-y to me, lol!I didn't like the strawberry spa OOB but haven't actually poured it and I plan to test the strawberry pearl.
