CBE Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm thinking of Spring scents.....and I have no cool ideas in mind. What scents are you thinking about introducing for Spring and from where? I'm in need of some retail therapy at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katcandlemaker Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I just got flowering dogwood in from NG...its wonderful. I haven't put it in the wax yet but it got really good reviews. I also picked up Magnolia, hydrangea and some other florals for the spring. Daffodils is also out there and I also picked up tulips from NG...smells like tulips.

Candybee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 My biggest springtime candle sales last year were:Daffodils (Fillmore) sold out every candleMango Papaya (Peaks)Wildberry Mousse (CS) also sold out every candleHoneysuckle Rose (Honeysuckle Jasmine & Rose 50/50 from CS)For my M&P soaps:Olive Blossom (Flickers)Tuberose & Jasmine (Fillmore)Honeysuckle Rose (see above)Tuscan Lace (Flickers)I am still looking for a gardenia I like. I am starting to get requests for gardenia and plain jasmine and baby powder.I am also looking for more spa and water type scents. I didn't have a spa scent so one day I made M&P soap and mixed a strawberrry and aloe scent together and called it Spa Treatment. Those completely sold out so I will be making those again this year.But I am still looking for a fresh water or ocean scent that I like. I likePeak's Ocean but it has too lite a throw so I mix in some Freesia and it makes the ocean salt fragrance pop. Really nice blend. I love experimenting with different scents.I accidentally blended lavender with a strawberry scent together when I was making some lotion. I was bowled over. Absolutely loved it. I will give it a try this spring and see how my customers like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Both the Green Tea and Green Leaves from Candlewic are AWESOME fresh scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katcandlemaker Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The white tea leaves and white tea and berries is awesome from Candle Science. I keep the white tea and berries all year and its just yummy. It only got a two leaf rating, but it does have a wonderful throw in 464.

TRex Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yesterday I mixed Lavender with a little Lime. Whoa!! So I soaped it. Cream colored soap w/ Lavender and Green dyes. The smell is great.:whoohoo: :whoohoo: :whoohoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramel Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am not selling (newbie in testing phase), but I have been testing blends with Q-tips and tins while waiting on my wick delivery. Not to give away the ratios, but I have mixed the following:Gardenia/StrawberryCoconut/Lime/VioletRose/Lilac/Honeysuckle/Hyacinth (named after my company that I plan to open... one day!)Honeysuckle/Jasmin/AmberMind you, not all of the ingredients are mentioned (I got to keep SOME mystery). But I got rave reviews for them when I did tealight samples to my testers (they look for scent strength and if it smells great hot and cold).You guys are good, changing out the scents with the seasons. I would just have them all available, but then, I like getting what I want year round (I do florals in winter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinpa Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Both the Green Tea and Green Leaves from Candlewic are AWESOME fresh scentsWhat type of wax do you use these in??I am in driving distance of them....but only use red apple peel....I don't like most of their fo's I have tried..and since they don't give samples..and don't have reasonable priced samples I don't try them too often. I only use them for wicks and wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
