Camay Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm making some candles for our annual Kentucky Derby party the first Saturday in May. I'll be making red rose (from CS) since it's the "Run for the Roses." And I want to also make green Mint Julep candles since the mint julep is the official drink of the Derby.Anyone tested mint julep from Aroma Haven or Just by Nature? I'm a little leary of the JBN one since it says it has lemon it in. Mint Juleps do not have lemon in them! Or any other supplier? I may just go with spearmint - not sure yet.

mzpickles Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 What a cool idea!!Well, Taylored Concepts has one that's described as "Vanilla Bourbon with Spearmint Leaf" if that sounds like what you're looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) How about a Fresh Cut Grass scent you could name Stomping of the Divets and a Leather one for a horse saddle. Edited March 23, 2010 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Spa Mint Medley from MMS (thesage.com) is REALLY nice. Their Wild Mint+Ivy is nice too, I dont get ivy as much as mint... but the Spa Mint Medley would work really well, I'm going to order some in a few days. I won a perfumers kit from them and its one of my favorites!

dixiegal Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I don't have any suggestions but wish you luck. As a horse lover and someone who is owned by 5 of them, I wish someone would make a horse scented candle because I think its the best smell in the world. I know if they ever do I could sell the heck out of them in my circle:D Edited March 24, 2010 by dixiegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 It's a really fun party! I'm trying to keep it simple by just having two scents: the roses and mint julep. I might give that spa mint medley a try from the Sage. I have never ordered any of their scents before. It's kind of far away for me.I've never ordered from Taylored before either, but that vanilla bourbon spearmint sounds good.Thanks for the ideas!

TheWickedWick Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I use the Mint Julep from AH in tarts and b&b products and love it. I don't make candles so I can't comment on the throw but in tarts, which is KY votive/tart wax with extra soy, it's fab! HTH on some level. Good luck on your party..it sounds like a lot of fun!Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks Karen. Just placed an order at AH for the mint julep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
