Sndfrddy Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have a friend of mine who sells quite a lot of my candles for me. She loves horses and is involved with them alot. I'd like to make her a special candle to say "Thank You" that has to do with her love of horses. I was thinking either straight leather or leather mixed with BNL Hayride. What do you think a horse loving person would want most? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'd go with a mix. Straight leather is a bit much IMO.Though it is better than some of the horse related suggestions that could be thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernstargirl Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Why not mix the leather with a good vanilla...that is what I do and call it cowgirls and pearls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Honestly I'd be careful using leather unless you know your friend likes it. I find people either love it or gag at the smell of it. It seems to be one of those love or hate it scents.Can't you find out what scent they like and use that? If you can't figure it out it might be better to stick with a classic fragrance or a fresh and clean scent. Horses love apples and something like cinnamon apple is a great selling classic.

Rockin Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Leather, apple, hay and oats (maybe oatmeal, milk and honey if there's not a straight oat out there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 If she is around saddles, she won't mind the leather scent. I mix it with strawberry and I mix it with vanilla. I can't keep either one. I call mine Cowboy Vanilla. Put a leather strip around the rim too. Makes it cute. Or pour it in a horse shaped jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Believe it or not Leather and Cinnamon are fantastic together "Cowgirl Leather". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Whose leather are you all using? I got some from Lonestar one time and almost gagged got rid of it ASAP. Next time I need to order I'll just get some samples cause the vanilla and leather sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I use Starrvilles Leather. I've used about 5 different ones from various suppliers and this one is dead on and true.I love mixing leather, but I'll have to try the cinnamon!Thanks!Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sndfrddy Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I've tried Peaks and Lonestar. peaks was strong but didn't like it at all. I really like Lonestar. It's smooth and true smelling. I didn't think I would like leather but I really like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernstargirl Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 i use just by nature leather....best one I have found.And I also do the cinn and leather and call it red hot cowboy....sell it like crazy. mix it at 50/50. Both of mine...cowgirls n pearls and my red hot cowboy are top sellers for me. Lots curl their nose up when I tell them what is in it, then they melt or burn them and are pretty surprised at how well good they really smell! Give it a shot....bet you love it too!

Scented Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Is it the red hot cinnamon you use or more the spice version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernstargirl Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The red hot cinn I use smells just like the candy. I also get it from JBN...they have a great one!This is a good combo....promise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
