deb426 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Here's a fun question (hopefully):What scent do your customers LOVE that you absolutely HATE to have to make? For me, it's cinnamon. Of course, it's my most popular scent. Also, is there any scent that for you is just not worth the sale? In other words, do you just refuse to make it because you can't stand the smell? (for me it's rose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMkrInTN Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Lavender. I, myself, do not find it healing or calming at all. I have a devoted customer though, she buys me out every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardLOZ Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Both Tracy & myself hate Lavender, but it seems as though the customers do not. A horrible fragrance to pour, but what can you do. If they want it I guess you have to supply it Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeana Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Fresh Linen makes me feel so sick. Cotton Blossom and Asian Amber are other ones I feel sick when I have them burning or I am making them. I said it wasn't worth it but now I am using them in tarts and wickless so not as much testing with them. I had an allergic reaction to Apple Blossom recently too. I was sneezing and coughing like crazy. Not sure about keeping that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 There are 3 I hate the sameFresh Cut Roses but makes a decent candleCampfire Smoke-Hate this one with making and burning.I cannot even smell it with a cold throw without my eyes burning.A few people like it thoughCherry-It is horrid making and a rancid cold throw BUT OMG it is a great smelling candle. If I can just get people to buy it after sniffing it.I might have to have one burning in order to sell it. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Don't like lavender but pour it because it is a best seller but I refuse to do patchouli, it gives me a migraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I happen to love lavender and its a good thing because it is a best seller for me.On the other hand I gag at the smell of lilac. Pouring gingerbread will give me a stomach ache and cramps and home for the holidays makes me nauseaus and dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamadove Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hmmm.....I have LOTS that I hate to pour. Most floral scents I hate....especially ROSE, it just makes me want to throw up! My best friend abolutely loves FRENCH MARKET and I hate pouring that, it is absolutely the best way to start my gag reflex. When pour that it seems like that is all I smell for days! Hate Patchouli & /Sandlewood. There are more I hate but I might end up writing a book. The ones I hate I don't pour unless someone asks for them.

Trish Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Lovespell. Ew, ick, nasty. I used to love that scent but I guess I overdosed on it because now I get an instant headache!I can't stand most earthy scents, specifically patchouli so I don't carry them, lol.

Scented Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 LMAO at Trish!Adding Wild Mountain Honey to my list of can't stands. Some days it's a great scent, but most of the time I have sneezing fits. I'm not a big honey fan anyway, but so be it. It still gets made as long as it sells lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
