LisaW Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 what are they really looking for? Other than Harvest I'm not sure what direction to point them. When I ask them to be a little more specific they can't really say. Just wondered if anyone else has run across this. I've also got a "spice" scent, but it smells a little more like a bakery scent.TIA,LisaW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 There used to be a scent called spice years ago. I don't know if it is even around any more. Maybe Candlewic has one, but that's not where I got mine from. That place is long gone now. Other than that, I think they would be looking for a mix of maybe cinnamon and clove, cinnamons in general (maybe even red hot cinnamon) and several companies have or had a scent call spice market, which is usually a conglomeration of scents (all spices -- say cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove etc.)Don't know if that helps.

Candlebuddy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 When I think of spice scents, I think of scents like Home Sweet Home, Grandma's Kitchen, Amish Quilt, Autumn Spice, Celtic MoonSpice, Cinnamon Stick, Golden Clove, Spice (a mix of cinnamon, clove & nutmeg ... ICS carries it) Grated Nutmeg, Ginger Spice, Allspice ... you get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I ask 'em if they mean like spice cake or Old Spice or Tex-Mex food or what... That usually elicits a clearer response... or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatlinPM Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 When someone asks me for "spice" I go with Amish Harvest first, than I have them try something like Homemade Apple Pie. Depending on their response from those I can usually determine whether they are looking for sweet spice like cinnamon buns, apple pie etc.. or the not sweet spice scents like Amish harvest, cinnamon stick, clove etc...

goweezergirl Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I got the new Daystar Lush Dupe of Spice Curls (space whirls) and it is definitely a spice scent. I like it, but I had to mix it with vanilla. Otherwise, I really think it would have been too much spice for bath and body products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I am thinking like Candebuddy.Grandma's Kitchen was the first one I thought of.Then Red Hot Cinnamon,Pumpkin Custard Spice, Hot Apple Pie etc.Of course these lean towards cinnamon and spice. Also food scent scents.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 C&S has a fragrance called Edible Spice that is wonderful. I tested it in my parasoy blend and fell in love with it. Its also one of those oils that has a weak scent OOB. But once its in wax its a fabulous spice with a note of fruit in there-- pear? apple? Anyway, its divine but one of their most expensive oils.

Debra Phelps Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I ask them if they like cinnamon spice, apple, or orange spice, or a blend of just spices. That works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
