FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have the opportunity to get an order from Candle Science delivered for free. ** I LOVE my parents** (driving right by LOL)I need help creating my order. What scents do I just have to have to use in my CBA/pure soy blend. The blend throws very well. I love fruity and bakery scents but I have NO clue about other scents but I need to get some. So I need extra help with other great FO's not in this category. TIA for any and all helpDanielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Not a matter of being lazy.... i have searched. I wanted suggestions on non fruity/bakery types as they are not my kind of scents!Just reading the descriptions doesn't help me, as half of the things I have NO idea what they smell like.

debscent Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Actually Flames, favorites among people on this board won't yield better results for you. Candle Science is a reputable supplier, it will come down to personal preference. I have always received great FOs from them. My absolute favorite/strongest FO from them is Cranberry Marmalade.

SliverOfWax Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure CandleScience offers samples. Unless you know someone here who has a nose you can trust, recommendations are a dime a dozen. Unfortunately, finding those trustworthy noses takes time, research, and testing. I'm testing their Rose. I would recommend it. It throws well. But since you don't know my nose or my candles, it's a crap shoot and you might possibly hate it and it might not work in your wax with your % and wick. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 GGRRRRR OK, I am obviously sucking at getting my question asked. I have it clear in my mind but can't seem to express it well.I am hoping to get recommendations for FO's that are not fruity or bakery scents, that people enjoy and they seem to sell well. I do have a lilac, that is one floral I like.I do have fresh linen.Just because I don't care for them, doesn't mean others won't want them. I am trying to get scents that other people would enjoy. My nose and brain are on the same track "fruity/bakery" and I just can't seem to "imagine" what the other scents would smell like.Like I think I would like a "wine" type of FO. Since I don't drink wine, I actually think it is pretty nasty.... I have NO idea where to begin. If someone likes wine, they can better suggest a nice FO for me to try.Thanks for being patient with my "expressing my thought" issue! LOLETA: I have read the FO reviews, I have scents I like noted. I need help with the scents I don't care for personally. I am not expecting to like them, I want to try FO's others like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Who said a word about Mommy and Daddys money?? I said.... "I have the opportunity to get an order from Candle Science delivered for free. ** I LOVE my parents** (driving right by LOL)" I really do appreciate the HELPFUL replies!! Dirtybirdsoaps... would you describe the Golden Rose as perfumy? I think I will deffinately try the himalayan bamboo. Violet Lime... that sounds intriguing.... I am off to read more scent descriptions! Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well shyt I read that wrong.Still if you want to know for yourself.. order samples of all their scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybirdsoaps Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Dirtybirdsoaps... would you describe the Golden Rose as perfumy? I think I will deffinately try the himalayan bamboo. I don't think its to perfumy. If this helps my brother (who doesnt even care for flowers LOL) said it smells like a real rose.Also the choc milk smells like real choc milk IMO, palm tree is another good one.

SliverOfWax Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 you're selling?Why, of course, albeit under a different name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 DirtybirdsoapsAwesome.... that is what I was looking for. To me a persons opinion, even though all noses are different, means more than a "description".the list is forming!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Awesome.... that is what I was looking for. To me a persons opinion, even though all noses are different, means more than a "description".the list is forming!!That's why as someone else mentioned, you should do a SEARCH for CS FO's, and you'll get more "opinions"!I'm sorry, but opinions from complete strangers just doesn't do it for me, I gotta smell them for myself, hence the reason suppliers sell sample sizes.Everytime someone asks for opinions on FO's, I remember back when I asked about a certain FO, got lots of praise for it, etc. but when I ordered a sample (thank goodness only 1oz.) it smelled JUST LIKE CAT PEE!!!!!!!

FunFlames Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 cat pee.... there's a keeper! LMAO. That would suck. I have read, and read and read. I have found numerous suggestions.... the list is getting longer.Does anyone have any specific comments on these...Sea Mist (new)Moonlit muskEnglish GardenWhite tea & BerriesAsian AmberLavender Cucumber Sagenot so much how it throws, but what it smells like, what it reminds you of.Thank you much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkie68 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Violet limeGolden roseHimalayan bamboo......I LOVE THIS SCENT!I second Violet Lime and Himalayan Bamboo - HB has done well and is a lovely scent, and Violet Lime is one of my biggest sellers. Both throw well in soy tarts (Violet Lime really knocks my socks off, it's strong), and VL does well in scrubs, too. I can't really give any idea of what they remind me of, because I'm not sure they remind me of anything specific. I just like the way they smell. And to my nose, Violet Lime doesn't necessarily smell strongly of either, but whatever it smells like, it works. LOLI've tried White Tea and Berries - I like it and think it's got a fairly strong throw. It's sweet but not too sweet to my nose. I get more berry than tea, but you can smell both. I've also tried Lavender Cucumber Sage, and it's been one of my better sellers. It's a nice clean spa-type scent, not heavily floral, and not too strong on the sage - I don't normally care for sage, but it works in this blend.
