Sally Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I see the Peaks co-op has started up, do any of you have any recommendations before I go ahead & order.So far I've tried Blackberry Sage...yummyBlack rasp. vanilla havent used it yet but oob is okMediterranean Fig also havent used yet but like it oob.I think I've got a couple of others but I can't find my lists just now.I especially like the sound of Bird Of Paradise & Breakfast At Tiffany's amongst a whole load of others so narrowing down my choices might take a while!TIA for any suggestions.Sally.

Scented Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I can't help you on those, but I would offer up Countryberry hotcakes; Vanilla hazelnut; country garden; lavender; lilac; hyacinth; stargazer lily and there are more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 What will you be using them in? I personally love their Amish Harvest Black Canyon & Lavender in my soy wax. For B&B I like their Lavender, Cranberry Citrus, Rose & Black Canyon. I know there are others, but that is what I can think of for now. Never tried any of the ones you listed.

CareBear Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 OH MY GOD the med fig is good. To Die For (in soaps anyway)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hubby is taking a trip there tomorrow for supplies, maybe I should have him pick me up a bottle of the med. Fig. I know I've smelled every one of the FOs but it seems when I smelled this one I did like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soap cool and it's really well behaved.Oh, and if you like brown soaps, Coconut Banana Blast is really rich and delicious - I make my infamous (locally) Crack Soap with that!!!

Sally Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Crack Soap, I'm intrigued.I'm using mostly soy wax but I'm working on a soy/para blend too.I don't do B&B yet but the temptation is soooooooooo great.Good job I'm busy with the wooden roses just now or I might succumb!Sally.

Kymber Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Wild Mountain honey is awesome in both CP Soap and my soy blend....very strong! I also use their Blackberry Sage which holds its scent very well in soap. Just added cantaloupe in candles...very good! Casaba Mist is great in CP, haven't tried it in candles. That is just off the top of my head....I know I have a few more I really like. Plan on trying a few more with the co-op going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If you are working with the wooden roses then you need Peak's Bouquet of Roses. A little goes a long ways. I use 1/2 oz pp in a paraffin/soy mix.Other favorites and best sellers areAmish HarvestCantaloupeFruits SlicesGeorgia PeachGinger PassionGreen TeaMacintosh AppleOceanRed CurrentSpice CranberryTuscan NightWhite Tea and GingerOh heck, just start with the A's and work your way down the list.

CareBear Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 MissyK, Coconut Banana Blast, IMHO, is incredibly rich and great for winter too - I soaped it with half & half and it makes me feel very cozy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKC Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I love their Creme Brulee and I'm selling a ton of the Genuine Leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It's hard to just list a few of Peaks for ya, but let me just say that almost every single FO I've tried from them throws GREAT for me in 4630 wax, all except Apple Jack & Peel, which gives off a fuel smell, unfortunately.I use a LOT of the Black Rasp. & Vanilla, in cp soap, and other B&B applications, plus wax, it's really good.Strawberry Kiwi is very good also.Their Honeysuckle is strong and a very good seller for me, among a lot of others as well. Good luck trying to narrow your list down-hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fern Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Over the years, I've tried a lot of Peak's FO's. I haven't tried any of the newer ones, but of the ones that I have tried, these are some of my favorites:Cool Citrus BasilJuniper BreezeHyacinthTall GrassAmish HarvestCountry GardenStorm WatchSpruce X-mas TreeSugar Plum BerriesClean CottonMango PapayaMidsummer's NightSweet Pea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Got up this morning & I could smell the med. fig throughout the downstairs of the house & that was with the kitchen door shut.CB the soap sounds yummy....the kids will have to go find someone elses bathroom to use cos I might just stay in my tub for days!Poured my Black Canyon today, again in soy/para blend, also in Ecosoya CB135....it's very strong & a good masculine scent, reminds me of something but I can't quite figure out what. All the Peaks fo's I've tried so far are winners but the budget isn't very great so I'll still have to be very picky with my selection.Sally.
