Blest2BAmerican Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I bought Love Spell FO at the recommendation of some friends and can't stand the smell of it! Is it just me or do others not like it? There really aren't too many FOs I don't like but this is one of them. Stinky!

Faerywren Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 It's not just you. I can't stand it either. To me it smells exactly like Hawaiian Punch. Sickly sweet and fruity. I rarely soap this one without a blend and of course wherever I go people ask if I can do a Love Spell soap. *gag*I bought Love Spell FO at the recommendation of some friends and can't stand the smell of it!

IwantItgreen Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I got a sample from Candle Science and I COULD NOT even smell it OOB. When I called them, the said they have the STRONGEST love spell and I must have candle nose. So I thought, well I'll put it in wax. I cannot spell anything in wax either. I haven't burned it yet, don't really see any reason to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have smelled candles that were scented Love Spell that smelled differently than the FO I have. I got mine from another soaper (can't remember which brand it is). It's so much like fruit punch. Maybe I should try another one?

KoalaGirl Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I use CS Love Spell and its very strong in soy. I love it but some people loath it. There doesnt seem to be much middle ground with this one. Its either love it or hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grama Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I am not fond of Love Spell either but a lot of people are! I get mine from WSP and CS, they are both strong and I really can't tell much difference, if any. Edited January 15, 2010 by grama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Dee* Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I use the one from NG and it smells like hawaiian punch. i like it though lol. ive never smelled the perfume so i dont know if that is how it smells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyByTheBay Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not a fan of Love Spell either. Can't stand Pink Sugar even more. Too bad those two are my top sellers in B&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I use berts heavenscents love spell, I love and so do my customers, it is sweet but I don't think of Hawaiin Punch when I smell it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monvi33 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am another who does not care for it, but others love it. It makes me sneeze and gives me a headache when I make it. I can handle it if it's burning in a larger room and the frangrance isn't quite so in your face, normally I love in your face fragrances...but not this one.

debratant Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I hate it. To me though..it smells like vomit. I'm the only one who gets the vomit note LOL. Maybe it's the grapefruit that I'm picking up in it. I get mine from Elements. I dunno...never liked this FO from day one. Have not ever smelled the original either.

lsbennis Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I got mine from CS and I think its the nastiest fo I have every smelled, I refuse to pour it and will not sell it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjconner Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I get mine from BCN. I use it in CP soap and body stuff. I don't particularly care for it. Others have told me that it's a dead on dupe.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I hate it too! I purchased some when VS was clearing out some Lovespell conditioner and my hubby followed me around. It drove him crazy. I really liked the conditioner but not the scent but they discontinued it and now hubby doesn't bother me as much. I should make some conditioner with that scent...

TheWickedWick Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm with Isbennis....got mine from CS and simply loath it! Probably wouldn't like any Love Spell fo. Very few fo's I've found to really hate (I know..that's a pretty strong word) but this one is tops on my list..in fact, so far the only one on my list. I have a few I don't care for personally but hate...nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I never understood why someone named this fruit concoction "Love Spell". It doesn't seem very romantically mesmerizing to me. What's a good rename for it other than 'Hawaiian Punch'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella G Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I use Love Spell from BCN (renamed Flirt) & Pink Sugar & I don't particularly like either one in B&B but they are both great sellers. Pink Sugar is by far my top seller in car fresheners and I really don't mind it in that. Another one I absolutely cannot stand is BNL Cupid, but again a great seller & there is no way I would get rid of any of them.Now my absolute fav is NG Gingered Bergamot!!! I get so many compliments on it when I wear it, but it's not a great seller. Makes no sense to me. I think it smells different oob vs. on your skin.

TxSioux Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's just so sickening sweet - I hate it. I have a very small amount left, so I'm going to pour it up & put it on the NEVER AGAIN list! There are 3 scents that I totally hate, but will pour because they're so popular, but this isn't one of them! It has to be a real power-seller to make me keep pouring something I hate this much!Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmcandleco Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don't hate it its OK. It too is one of my best sellers. I can't stand Cucumber Melon. "GAG" I use to love it before I had my daughter. But when I became pregnant with her it made me sick to even be around the smell. For some reason it still makes me sick.

LuminousBoutique Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I love it! I get mine from peaks... havent smelled Candle Science's... but I think peaks is very nice and it is a top seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 <sigh> Got my sample packs from Peak & they threw in a freebie ... anyone want to guess what it is!?! LOL What are the odds? They sell something like 150 scents & I get the ONE fo that I really hate ... Love Spell. I'll be passing this one on to a fellow candle maker.Susan.
