leisa2003 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi, I am looking for a good strong fo for soy, thats NOT "flowery" or "foodish" LOL!!!

Erin Lea Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Campfire Smoke? Motor Oil? Wood? Dirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 How about something like Nag Champa or Bayberry? Those are clean, unisex scents to me. If he could go for a more perfume-y type, maybe a Clean Cotton dupe or Cool Water dupe might work for him. Even a Green Grass or Fresh Cut Grass might be a pleasant option.

leisa2003 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Erin, thats sounds about right...:highfive: Campfire smoke...dirt, oil.... LOL!!!But, I think that would be enough for me to quit making candles! Can you imagine someone liking their home to smell like dirt...motor oil...or smoke! (YUK!!!) I'd throw him out in the dog house and tell him "here ya go...maybe you'll like the smell of doggy do-do!!!"Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 One of my fav's is Jade (Pier 1 dupe) from C&S - it smells SO good - also really love Peppermint Cream from TC. Try Green Leaf for unusual scents. I haven't tried them, but see lots of good reviews. I want to place an order, but waiting for Maduro to be back in stock.Susan.

so-soy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 There are a ton of scents out there that aren't foody or flowery. Try a clean linen, fresh laundry type, or a woodsy scent, or an herbal, or spicy scent etc...there are tons, just check out some of the larger suppliers who have their scent lists in categories!
