Kymber Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have an account that is a resort and they want me to do a promo candle for them that would go with thier name. They want a 16oz chunk candle and would like the chunks to be a realistic fresh crisp Apple and the overpour to be something that goes with the other half of their name. The name is Apple Springs. I am having a hard time thinking of what FO to use for the Springs part? I need to do 2-3 combos and they will pick which one they want. They already go through a bunch of my applebutter/fresh baked bread but they want this one exclusive to them and already have their graphic/art department working on a label for it. I already supply all their soaps and lotions in Appleblossom. They don't want to use appleblossom in the candle. I am lost. Is there a spring water FO? TIA for any and all help!!

carol k Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 what about a rain scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have a great selling chunk candle that I make using apple blossom and green tea. I call it Apple Blossom Tea House. The overpour is a green tea and apricot and freesia mix. The chunks are made with the apple blossom. I color the apple blossom chunks bright pink and leave the overpour white. It makes a striking contrast that compliments the fragrance blend. The fragrance blend is clean, crisp, and refreshing. It always sells out and customers always comment on the color combo.BTW-- I make my chunks for this using fluted tart molds. I break the tarts up in chunks so I have chunks with the scalloped edging. It creates a fan like appearence where the chunks stick out of the top of the candle. Very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 I was thinking of some kind of water scent.....like Rain or Mt Lake..something like that. Candybee your description sounds wonderful!! Which has made me realize I need to think "outside" the box...LOL It doesn't have to be a water scent...I have to use something fresh that would go with Apples and that would create their promo scent. A fresh outdoorsy scent would work also. When I put the samples together for them...of a few different combos---they will pick which one they like and it can be named anything. I was stuck on Springs---being water. Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to start thinking in a whole new direction! LOL Off to research more scents...Thanks you 2!

gloworm Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 What about a cucumber or mint scent with the apple. Or even an ocean scent & that would be your "water" part??Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 My initial thought was Winter Blast by Wildfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just read the descrition on winter blast and that sounds perfect. So I went downstairs and dug through my FO's and I even have a 2oz'er of this one so definately going to try that one today! Also have a sample of Ocean and smelled that one and thinking that will also go really well with Apples! Found a couple others while going through all my samples that just might work also. Thanks you guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Sounds like a winner! Sometimes my best ideas come from creating something out of what I have on hand.I just love mixing oils plus the addition of chunks can really make your fragrance very complex when the candle is burning and the chunks and overpour mingle.

Bella Luna Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 It sounds like you may have found your match, but you should also look into Apples and Oak. I absolutely love that scent, and I don't really smell the 'oak' as much as a freshwater scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and checked my samples because I thought I had that one too.....but I have the Lavender Apples & Oak...which I love also! What supplier carries a good Apples & Oak for a soy blend?Thanks for your idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What supplier carries a good Apples & Oak for a soy blend?Thanks for your idea!I work with paraffin and the one I've tried is from RA, so maybe that doesn't help you much :undecided I see NG has an apples and oak, and candlescience has an apples and clover, which has a 2 leaf rating for soy. 'Green' fragrances are usually kind of fresh, so I would think that might work well for the spring part of the name. I have never sampled the apples and clover, though, so I am going out on a limb there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Sure hope that sale note works...otherwise I just spent way, way too much on samples!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
