Good pine/balsam FO

[bunkie68]

I'm making it my quest to come as close to the Cranberry Balsam scent that used to be offered by Pier 1 as I can, and I'm looking for recommendations on good pine/balsam FOs. I haven't found one that's marketed as balsam yet, so it may have to be pine. Any suggestions on a good cranberry FO would be appreciated, too. Thanks!

NG has a great Cranberry Balsam, also love their Spiced Cranberry. Can send a sniffy of each if you just want to smell them. I use 1.5 in soy and they throw great.

Candle Science has a great Cranberry Marmalade and a Scotch Pine both are great in GB415.

Willow Woods has Christmas Wreath and it has a lot of balsam in it...a huge seller for me.

Just Scent has Berry Balsam....not sure how close it would be to what you are looking for but it's awesome in GB415 and was a great seller for me last year.

I just received Citrus & Balsam from Flickers and it smells great OOB. I haven't put it in wax yet though. Maybe you could try mixing like Peak's Cranberry Citrus and a pine scent. Christmas pines from Flickers is great! I also love Ozark Forest and Mistletoe from Candlescience.

I'm just testing my NG's Balsam!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!! PERFECTION - JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!

Reminds me of when we would drive to San Antonio every Christmas and pick out a 12 foot tree for our home. I loved that!

It's like walking into a patch of Christmas Trees. Nothing needs to be added to this scent!

PERFECT!!!!!

When I smelled it OOB, I was so scared it would smell like Pine Sol - but NO, IT doesn't!!

:yay:

I forgot about my thread! I found the NG Cranberry Balsam and it's just what I wanted! I'm debating whether it would do well in scrubs - I'm doing samples for November's Little Black Box and would love a good holiday scent.
