Debbie73 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I hate Lavender! I can't stand the smell, but I am glad to see that there are others that don't like it either. I thought there was something wrong with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtohaley2004 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Cherry is horrible for me....reminds me of cherry cough syrup I had to take as a kid. Other ones include Buttered Rum, White Diamonds, and Gardenia. Lavender is an ok one but I don't like pouring it very often. Campfire is very popular for me too and I hate that one as well.

debscent Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Love Spell, smells like vomit to me when I pour it. Clean cotton gives me a headache and I refused to offer rose, cause I hate i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfcat Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Asian Amber or Brown Sugar and Fig. UGH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 gardenia, I can't stand it, jasmine, honeysuckle. Unless they are sweet like bath and body works, I can't stand them. I get sick watching the customers stick their nose in the candle. But I have to make them. I could pour melons all day. There are many I won't pour. If they are not great sellers, then I don't pour them if I don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedLuxuries Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Coconut, Jasmine, Dogwood, Creme Brulee I have yet to find a coconut that i like that smells sweet, fresh and creamy. Maybe I just hate them all. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter_Willow Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I hate florals, most of them make me gag. Straight coconut and anything with Lavender. Oh, how I have lavender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I love good lavender. But most of them are fakey and stink. Candle Science has one that has the real thing in it. I love that one. The EOs in lavender are much better than FOs. Have you noticed that once you pour a batch of candles, that scent never smells the same to you. I almost don't want to pour my favorites. I am afraid I won't like them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph in tx Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Wine & Roses!! I smell that stuff for days after smelling it!! Gives me instant headache and feel sick to my stomach. Lavender! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!! Butterscotch Brulee is one that is too sweet for me. I have to leave the room for the rest of the day after pouring this one or I'll lose my lunch!!

Brenda (OH) Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I despise making anything with Love Spell. Also, Sex on the Beach. I tested it with a hangover and to this day I gag when I have to pour it :spit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hate to make it: Summer SensationHenna (which luckily I think is getting discontinued)WatermelonNot worth making cause I hate it so much: RosesMost Vanillas (though I have one that's very close to real vanilla beans that's semi-popular)Cucumber Aloe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLJ Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 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.I agree 100%...I ware a respirator when I pour it. The scent make me ill and I have tried so many different FO's and EO's.MLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni S. Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I can't stomach "Creme Brulee" - makes me want to throw up but it's a gooooood seller for me so I suffer. I had an order for two Creme Brulee Wax Dipped Bears for Mother's Day and had to put them in the garage until I could bag them up. This FO would be my all time worse.

Camay Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Straight cinnamon is too much for me. I think I must be extra sensitive to it. Guess what my Mom and MIL's favorite scent is??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Patchouli hands down is my most despised scent. I also hate overly sweet smells like Cotton Candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroMetroChic Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Lavender and Most Florals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This is why when deciding what scents to use I made sure to focus myself on food scents only. I really can't stand florals and absolutely cannot make lavender as I have an allergic reaction to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 These are disgusting scents to me: Lovespell, Monkey Farts,Sex on the BeachI got samples of all these a few weeks back because everyone talks about what great sellers they are and how they love them....I made them up and gagged as I did them. I gave them away and won't offer them in my line of candles...They all are cheap and so fake those scents to me...I just can't figure out what the rage is about....And to me, they pretty much all smell the same way, tuiti, fruiti, girli girli 5 and dime scents...lol...The only good thing about them is they are POWERFUL scents....I wish all my scents were as strong as these...And pink sugar I don't like but I sell to a few select people who love it....but not me!Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtohaley2004 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I also need to add to my list of disgusting scents to make:patchouli, Nag Champa (basically any earth tone scent or hippy scent I guess you can say), Sex on the Beach (too strong and gives me a headache) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I get an instant headache when I pour Rose, Lavender, and any strong floral FO's. I absolutley hate to pour Brown Sugar & Fig. I pour a huge batch of it to last throughout the winter during the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Fresh Coffee is yuk to make!!! smells nice in the finished candle, tho. Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Lavender - best sellers but disgusting to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
