Holly Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 For those of you who use the oil, what category do you put it in? From the description it would appear to be under the food/bakery category but to me it just does not fit it right. It isn't really spicy to me either to go under spicy. When someone asks me how this one smells, I really can't describe it very well. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Does it smell like Norm Abram? For those of you who use the oil, what category do you put it in?

Holly Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Does it smell like Norm Abram? Ok, I hope I am not going to sound like a dunce, but who is Norm Abram?....kinda sounds familiar. What is he supposed to smell like? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaylors Kreations Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Norm is the original host of This Old House, a PBS series about fixing up old New England homes...If I had to guess, a combo of Pine sawdust, sweaty guy and maybe even NE Clam Chowder?? He is from Massachusetts... Probably not that appealing as a FO...:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only watched it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I put mine under spicy. hthThanks, that helps. Do you smell much spice? Even though I do not smell a lot of spice, I think it may fit better there than bakery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I find it a fall/winter scent, apple comes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I find it a fall/winter scent, apple comes through.I agree, apple comes through the most. I don't have a fall and winter category. I thought about putting it under fruit but was not sure on that. To me it is really not very descriptive....if that is the right word.

Sharon in KY Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It smells like a stinking musty old house. Yuck. Fall and Winter. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 To me it smells real spicy, never thought about it smelling foody or fruity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 It smells like a stinking musty old house. Yuck. Fall and Winter. :undecidedLMBO It is the same as Salt City's Welcome Home....which I changed the name to. Although, I think This Old House fits it better but was unsure what people would think. lol I used to really love this one when I bought it from SC, but now that I pour it I don't really like it as much as I used to. I do have customers that like it, but I have not had it long enough to really know how well it is going to do. I think it is one of those that you either love it or hate it!

Holly Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 To me it smells real spicy, never thought about it smelling foody or fruity.I don't really think it smells "foody" either, but the description given has food scents in it.....applesauce, and I think it even mentioned cinnamon rolls. Here is TCS's description:Welcome Home ~ Warm applesauce, hot ginger cookies & out of the oven cinnamon rolls capture your senses for the holiday feast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I got mine from tncandlesupply and that is their description also. I got Welcome Home from JS and her Welcome Home does smell bakery. That is what can be so confusing, when different suppliers fo's have the same name but they smell totally different. To me the 2 are not even close.

To me the 2 are not even close.Actually, I accidentally forgot to change the name to This Old House in the description I posted. I am so used to using the name Welcome Home now. That is TCS description that I posted. I changed the name to Welcome Home because that is what I am used to...it is the exact same scent as Salt City's Welcome Home.

so-soy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I just can't figure this scent out. Its definitely a love/hate relationship! LOL I pick up an apple type scent, then there is a slight pine scent that my dh picks up but its weird. I don't think I've ever sold one candle in this scent so that probably tells me something...think I'll probably pass on it next time! Hey or maybe I could just change the name and it would sell like hotcakes, who knows, its happened before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterkaren Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This is a non-descript fo. We put it in our "Spices and Such". We added cedar to the description, I definately smell cedar in it. It is one of our top sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of our top sellers.I agree, it is very nondescript and the does not fit that description that it is given except for the apple. And...you are right...I think I detect cedar too but just could not put my finger on it. It is definitely different and a love/hate kind of scent. When I first smelled it, I LOVED it, but not as much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 *My* description I made for TCS's includes Beadboard siding and Grandpa's pipe, as there is cedar/pine and tobacco in it along with the apples and spice.I put it with the wood/outdoor, and never considered putting it with bakery!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
