mzpickles Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Cucumber Melon and Cucumber & Cantalope FOs? A LOT of suppliers carry both and I'm frankly confused as to why. I mean, isn't a cantalope a melon? Hmmm? Inquiring minds want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I prefer Cucumber & Cantalope from NG over all the melons I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The cucumber melon that I have smells more like honeydew melon. Cantaloupe smells different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Isn't cucumber melon traditionally a cucumbers and honeydew melon scent? To me honeydew or casaba melon smells much different than a cantaloupe.Makes sense that they would have two different scents because those are.

It's just that on some supplier sites the explanations don't make much of a distinction between the two, so you're left wondering what is the difference. Sounds like I just need to get some samples and see! Any recommendations about who has the best of each, so I can order from one website? I was looking at NG and Candlewic to name a couple. TIA!!

The Cantaloupe adds that something extra that you would have thought the cucumber melon would have smelled like from various descriptions, if that makes sense at all. Maybe sweeter, more complex and less like plain old honeydew.I like the ng version because it's simple yet has allot going on at the same time. That makes no sense either but hopefully you understand what I am trying to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your description of cantaloupe as more complex than honeydew. It's a riper, more mature combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think the canteloupe makes the fragrance more juicy and sweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I was just checking out KY's website since you mentioned this.Vickey carries Cucumber Melon Cucumber Melon (B & BW Type ) and Cucumber and Cantaloupe. I have both and there is a distinct difference. I prefer the Cucumber and Cantaloupe. Personally...I am not crazy about the smell of honeydew...but I do like the taste. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
