waxandwhimsy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The retailers in our little town have a ladies night out every Thursday. They have called a theme for one of the nights coming up "Peace night" celebrating the 50th anniversary of the peace sign. They are going with a hippie theme. Several of the stores have called me to put together a fragrance line for the night. No patchoulli or sandalwood. I need other ideas for this., I have read that frangapanni would be good but what else.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 No sandalwood or patchouli ... egads!Well there's Marijuana lolNag ChampaDragon's BloodFrangipani would probably be goodThere is a scent out there called incense (which would be good)Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme Frankincense & Myrrh (ought to work in any decade)Find an Amber ... that gives a peaceful feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirl Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well there's Marijuana lol I am with Scented.. You Must get a a Mary Jane Scent!!!Cedar & Saffron is a nice earthy scent.Campfire Smoke ( In memory of all those field parties!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well it definately won't be a true hippie theme if there's no patchouli or sandalwood. Nag Champa is about the only other scent that was popular from my hippie days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 ng's hippie christmas, (could rename it peace, woodstock)the one I thought of right away. It is patchouli, sandalwood and a bit of mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Taylored Concepts has a wonderful MJ. I sell a lot of it to cops. lolI don't get the Frangipani being a hippie scent. It's a very heavy floral. Not at all what I think of when I think of hippies. Weddings, maybe, but not hippies. It's really just plumeria.Inconceivable to think hippie without thinking patchouli. I'm with Chris. Nag and Dragon's Blood are about the only other 2 scents that come to mind. And Sandalwood, but good luck finding a really good Sandalwood for candles. I haven't found a good Sandalwood thrower yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Frangipani, jasmine, frankincense and myrrh, nag champa, neroli... to name a few... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Definately NG's Hippy Christmas ... rename it Incense and Peppermints (old song from the 60's by Strawberry Alarm Clock) ... I'm really dating myself. :rolleyes2 I sniffed a sample of this the other day ... it brought back some fond memories. You can always mix MJ with a chocolate brownie type scent ... that was real popular back then. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Definitely Nag Champa if no Patchouli or Sandalwood.You could substitute the earthy, woodsy, with a Cedarwood fragrance.I would go for a floral for the flowers in the hair they used to wear.For some reason I am thinking tutti frutti or bubblegum scents. They were into fruity things so you gotta have that. Flickers has a nice strawberry and rhubarb scent called Summer Garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 SW's Instant Karma - SCREAMS hippie and is absolutely lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janiece Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Without sandalwood and patch the only thing that came to mind immediately was the strawberry incense that seemed to be so popular. Have to say though that I really like the MJ and brownie idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I really like Orange/Cedar EO mixed together, neither is really expensive, but it has a nice earthy smell. I also have been testing Peaks French Vanilla Amber. It is a great thrower and it is very warm and earthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxandwhimsy Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for the input - I am using the French Vanilla & Amber - they loved that one. I am going to try Hippie Christmas and Instant Karma. The Mary Jane I can't do - too many people around her know I teach Kindergarten and it could cause problems!!!Thanks again for all of the help!!

Sister Kya Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It depends on what the expectations are, but you may not need new fragrances, merely new names.If you have a floral blend that didn't move before, name it "Flower Child".A manly, leather-type blend could be renamed "Back seat of the cop car".A bright, lively scent could be "Tie Dye" (with the appropriately colored label, naturally).A calm scent could be "Peace" (Baby powder could be "Peace, Baby").Other ideas:GroovyTrippy HippieKeep on Truckin'Psychedelic _______...ad nauseum... :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
