dogmom1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 i've seen the renaming suggestions here and some of you are really good at it! i am NOT, so i need your help.this is a great clean smell, not at all what i expected when i ordered it, but i love it! maybe i don't really know what F&M should smell like, i thought it would be a heavier smell, "incensey" as the name implies. i want to keep this all year long, but i don't think people will even look at it (except at Christmas) with the original name.TIA!

Quack Soap Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 do you want a religious type name, or something completely away from that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dogmom I have the same problem. I have some candles leftover from xmas and want to rename them. I just can't seem to come up with anything as I don't know how to describe the scent. So I am hoping someone has some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmom1 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 quack soap, as far as religious or not, either would be fine for me, not so sure about the people buying. i'd love to hear both kinds of names.i'm hoping eventually to do a fundraiser for my church's Christian school, somewhere down the line.candybee, did you post your Christmas scents and ask for help? i love the CS cranberry marmalade, want to sell that one all year too. same with the mistletoe.thank goodness we have talented people here who can help us. who knows candybee, maybe one day we can return the favor!

Quack Soap Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 for Christmas time you could call it Three Wise Men, Gift of the Magi, or Creche. For everyday maybe Oriental Incense (although might not work if you say it's light), Oriental Treasure (and any twist with Treasure in it), Cherish, Worship. That's all I can think of right now.

Darbla Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Incensey FOs make me think of the Middle East. So maybe something like 'Rajah' or 'Taj Mahal' would work for a rename.Hmmmm..... You just gave me an idea. I'm a bellydancer and our troupe name is 'Malaika', which is an Arabic word for 'angels'. I need to come up with an FO to put that name with.

Candybee Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I like the incense type names. These have been helpful. So far I'm liking Garden of Eden and Ancient Treasures. Maybe Golden Treasures? I like the idea of having the word 'gold' in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmom1 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 hi candybee (and anyone else who know the candle science F&M),but do you find it to be a true F&M? my friend, who is an F&M afficianado, says it's really not. that being said, i thought a different name would "work". if it really does smell like it's name, then maybe i should leave it alone.thoughts?thanks!eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I couldn't say if its a true scent or not. I'm just looking for a different name so it won't sound christmassy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmom1 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 hi candybee,well we're both in the same boat with nothing to compare it to.i thought i should change the name too, but people who really like the scent apparently don't care that it sounds Christmasy. and even tho she said it doesn't smell like F&M, my friend still loves it.

Ry Creek Candles Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 We call F&M "His Essences". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmom1 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks Ry Creek, that's a really nice name! I am still trying to decide..... i really appreciate the responses i got from everyone. thank you all again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I finally decided on a new name "Silk Road Caravan" for my F&M. I just finished relabeling all my jars. It seems to fit and I will see if it sells off season this way.So dogmom-- did you rename yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmom1 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 hi candybee! actually, i decided to leave it alone for now. i've thought of a few names myself, but still haven't decided. good luck with your new name, i definitely like it!

josie1091 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I made 100's of Christmas tarts. Had some left over. I renamed them. All are sold. It didn't seem to matter what I named them. As long as it wasn't Christmas, they sold. Just had a few left over,last year. Didn't rename them and still had them for this Christmas. I just sniffed them, and whatever came to mind, I named them.

blueparrot67 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 a great source of names is wikipedia online. put in myrhh (for example) Where does it come from? Whats it used for? What ethnic people use it? What is its history? What does it smell like?Lots of possibilities for names. Try googleing it also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katcandlemaker Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 hehehee...I named one of mine "One Night in Bangkok", yes like the song...and it sold like crazy. LOL Cranberry Marmalade I sold as "Night Before Christmas" but having a hard time renaming it as something else. However, just as the original name its still selling, especially for those who have already previously bought it. Its got a wonderful throw.
