Scented Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have some good floral scents, but I'm looking for some new ideas. So what florals (outside of rose bouquet, honeysuckle, gardenia, sweet pea) or (spring rain, ocean) might you put up for suggestion? (Please attach supplier to it too lol).

CBE Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Freesia- The Candle SourceI love Freesia! Smells clean, and "springy". Totally different from heavy florals like rose and gardenia. Orange Blossom- Oregon TrailsAnother favorite of mine... brings back alot of memories of when I was younger... we had orange trees and OT's version smells just like orange blossoms in bloom on a spring day.

Scented Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ahhh I am missing a freesia and I love the smell of orange blossoms as well. Thanks for the ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I love the Solas Japanese Cherry Blossom FO. It sells great too for me. I have my eye on Peaks Botanical Orchard & Nectar, it sounds very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Chic Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I LOVE Cherry Blossom and tried numerous suppliers trying to find the "one". Nope, out of 5 suppliers not one of them had a scent that kicked in my wax. Out of frustration I guess, my mad scientist brain stumbled upon a mix that totally does it. 4 parts Cherry Blossom and 1 part Black Cherry. The Black Cherry brings this scent to life. Also, Day Star has some new florals that sound very interesting. I ordered samples during her last sale and I'll keep you updated as I test them.

Groovy Chic Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I almost forgot about one I poured last night, Orchid Mist from Tennessee Candle Supply. Beautiful scent; I'm waiting for a few days then I'll light this baby. I'll let you know how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 OH?? Now there's some intrigue going on here. You know, I have the cherry blossom (not Solas) and it's just light so it stays in B&B applications. I have some deadly mountain black cherry though. Wonder if it could give the other a boost without burning my nose to kingdom come. And the Orchid Mist ... may have to look into it. The Botanical Orchid and Nectar IS going into soap as soon as I get to soaping and will have to see what else to do with it. Lovely, lovely fragrance OOB so I'm crossing my fingers it will do well in stuff.Thanks for these suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've got two of those. That wisteria blossoms is gorgeous isn't it? Haven't touched the bamboo sugar cane and I should.

Trish Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't sell a lot of florals, but Forget Me Not from AH/RE is really good! The Raspberry Lilac from there (SNC) is still one of my faves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've soaped it (time to play), made tarts, lotions & shower gel and it is the shiznit! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I second the Aroma Haven Forget Me Not. It's quite sweet but somehow light and fresh at the same time. Aroma Haven's Neroli is also good. It doesn't smell like orange blossoms on a spring day, though; it's more like real neroli, which smells kind of like a blend of orange blossoms and petitgrain.

coconut Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Lilac, from Peak's. One of my best sellers, to displaced Northerners living in Florida where we cannot grow them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Wow! OK the forget me nots will be a must lol! I've got 200 lavenders (not really, but feels like it) so that's why I had to ask I appreciate the suggestions. Some of them I have, like the lilac (powerful isn't it?) and the plumeria.

debscent Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I hate florals, but know they are needed. I like lighter florals, not headache inducing lilac or rose. These suggestions are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
