dabbledoya Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 All tested using 6006 at 8%. All had great H and C throw unless otherwise specified~~RELavender Apples and Oak-Outstanding herbal/very clean scent! Awesome in candles, as well as cream and MP soap--a new favorite.Tapestry-Hard to describe scent-fruits with subtle earthy, spice, and floral notes. This is *not* just for fall or Christmas--it's excellent for year round! Perfect in candles and MP soap--trying in cream next. A second new favorite:)Dreamcatcher--Very strong, beautiful fragrance. Perfume w/ subtle powdery undertones. Another keeper. Could easily go down to 7%.Strawberry Musk--The scent name says it all--the strawberry is not sweet or tart, just a fresh strawberry scent. The musk is definitely there, but not super heavy or overpowering. Very romantic fragrance. Had to wick up 2 sizes for this one.Celtic Moonspice--Only got as far as the first burn w/ this one. Too sweet for me! Smells like a super sweet cinnamon and sugar concoction. I guess I was expecting more of an exotic spice blend by the name and description.Pink Hydrangea--Was dissappointed w/ the OOB smell, it had sort of a stale odor. But once it cured out and I lit it--wow! Beautiful floral fragrance, not heavy or powdery, but a fresh floral.Forget Me Not--Reminds me of a really green Gardenia scent. Very nice, but not a keeper for me, as I already have a green floral.Roobios--Awesome--the whole reason I tried RE to begin with. Strong tea scent subtle fruit/grapefruit undertones. Smells just the one KY used to have.Red Currant and Thyme--Debated on wether or not to even review this, as I didn't try it in a candle. Very weak OOB. Used .75% in a jar of cream, and could barely smell anything. Maybe a 'bum' sample??? I won't be ordering anymore to find out lol.Cherry Mist--Soft, sweet cherry aroma. Still doesn't float my boat. Don't think I'll ever find a cherry scent I like!NGMonkey Farts--Nice banana scent w/ fruit notes and a hint of creaminess. I like it, friends/family loves it, so it's a keeper.Butt Naked--Another new favorite--very rich fragrance--tropical fruit, coconut and vanilla--awesome;)Downy Magnolia and Orange Blossom--Heavy on the orange, light on the floral. Smells great--on the shelf for possible future addition.Downy Cashmere and Lace--Perfumey floral scent, not heavy. Nothing extraordinary to be honest.Watercress and Aloe--Great cold throw, not a good hot throw at all--so dissappointed! Very clean, slightly green/floral fragrance. Awesome in cream, and will definitely be putting it in some MP soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evesorto Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks for the Reviews. It's amazing how many "keepers" one can find at AH. Most of my favorites are from there. My interested is peaked in regarding the dreamcatcher and tapestry.I had good luck with NG, too....I got the bbw dupe Tranquil Sleep (plus others)...great oils and amzing prices.Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livelovebath Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks so much for the reviews.. I just got Butt Naked in this week too.. OMG I love it.. I made bath bombs with it today and my whole basement smells lovely. Its funny that you think tropical too..thats what I thought, but then I looked at the discription and theres nothing really tropical in it.. granny apples, pears, strawberries.. I smell coconut too though.. I am trying to rename it.. I was thinking Island Paradise or Island Sunrise.. but then I looked at the discription... I am boggled now lol.

kandlekrazy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks for the AH/RE reviews! I agree on the Lavender, Apples & Oak and Roobios...some of my favs from them. Now I'm going to have to try the other scents you said were good...I think I should stay out of this section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 That Strawberry Musk is TDF!Tapestry, I've got a sample of it only. I want more to try it out, but from what I've smelled, I'm interested lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Don't give up on Celtic Moonspice .. Give out some samples and I bet you will get orders from those.. It has been # 1 for me since I started doing candles. Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbledoya Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 HHmmmm..I'll have to re-think the Celtic Moonspice;)I forgot one that is a keeper for me~~Raspberry Lilac--This is a strong, heavy berry-type fragrance. Can't smell the lilac in it, but you can smell sort of a floral note to it. Hard to describe this one, too, but it is in the same category as CS' Violet Lime--pungent in a positive way.
