Ravens Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Ok, maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I just poured Bird of paradise from Peak's and it smells like Crisco oil, no kidding.I have bought BOP from Bittercreek and Aroma Haven; these two are similar, though the BC one smells stronger OOB.Will the BOP (Peak's) scent develop as the tarts cure? I was expecting to smell pomegranate, strawberry, hint of vanilla, etc. but all I pick up is an oily smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Oh that's weird. I've tried AH and CS and Peak's was my fav. Maybe there is something wrong with the one you have. What did it smell like oob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Just an oily smell. My nose couldn't detect any of the pomegranate, strawberry etc. that Peak's uses in their description of this FO. I'm really puzzled; Peak's FO are my favorite, but this BOP... The tarts are setting now. Will give them a day or two before trying them. I made some tarts the other day using the BOP from Bittercreek and they smells great! For those I used a different wax combo, but the FO smelled good OOB also. But with this one I smelled nothing but oil. Hopefully when I melt the tarts things will improve, though I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sounds like there is something wrong with the oil you have. Mine was really good even oob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 I sent an email to peak's. Could they perhaps have forgotten to add the fragrance? As I said, I absolutely love their oils and service, but this BOP really has me stumped. No smell whatsoever - except the cooking oil smell, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator girl Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I have to agree that I really like Peaks BOP and it's the one I prefer. I think it smells strong and true to the description so hopefully you can figrue out what happened with your oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
