Candybee Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I want to add Bayberry to my fall/holiday lineup but I don't care for it straight. Whats good (besides cinnamon) to blend it with? Or-- whats your fav bayberry blend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What about a berry scent..one that's not a sweet bakery type? AH/RE has a wild berry fo that I've been wanting to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 A pine or spruce is a good mix. Also cranberry or lemon......some amber or sandalwood.........a good spicy hollyberry works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeahRB Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I blended the CS bayberry with ICS spiced cranberry and it is really good. Smells just like Christmas. Edited August 17, 2010 by LeahRB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerstix Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Anything Apple...Mint, Bayberry Frost you could call it.Any wine scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I am glad to see a thread like this. I loathe bayberry and honestly have a hard time making it. It sells very well though. I am going to give the apple a try this fall. Sounds good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmhoneybear Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) My favorite bayberry blend is called Rustic Jeans...from Wildfire Creations.http://www.wildfire-creations.com/Candle_supplies2.htmIt is fantastic! You could check out what's in it and try to mix it yourself. Well, it may be kind of hard to do. This is such a unique, awesome scent.

Candybee Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Great ideas! I love the apple and cranberry mix ideas. I bet CS Cranberry Marmalade and Bayberry mixed together would be awesome. I wonder if Bayberry and Pomegranite would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Cinnamon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I second the apple recommendation... but I'm an apple lover... so to me, anything goes well with apple! How about something citrusy... like Yuzu? Or even Cranberry Yuzu (AH has this one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I've been playing around with a couple of apple combinations ...50/50 Macintosh & Mistletoe ... awesome cold & hot throw, both from CS25/75 Macintosh & Bayberry ... another winner, both from CS, rename Bayberry Orchard I also mixed equal parts of Cranberry Marmalade, Pumpkin Souffle and Cinnamon ... not so good.

Candybee Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I was cleaning out my FOs to make room for fall scents and found two 1 lb bottles of Bayberry Cinnamon from Fillmore Container. Together I have about 14 oz of BC so I guess I will use that for now.Candlebuddy-- I like the idea of mixing Mistletoe with something. Ever since I discovered this oil from CS I have to have it in stock year round. So do you like the Mac & Mistletoe? Do you have a name for the blend?I also thought of mixing Mac & Bayberry, Bayberry & Cinnamon Stick, or Bayberry with Mac & Cinnamon Stick from CS. I got the idea from C&S that has a Bayberry Apple Spice. Of course I may just end up getting that but I think the oils from CS generally have a nicer scent and throw than ones from C&S. Hope that makes sense.:rolleyes2For Cranberry Marmalade (CS) I mix with straight Orange (C&S) at 75/25% for a Cranberry Orange Spice. This became my bestseller in soap and candles last year so I am using it again.With Pumpkin Souffle (CS) I mix in about 10-15% Amish Harvest (Peaks) for a spicier mix. Use AH sparingly as its pretty spicy and will overpower the pumpkin scent. Edited August 19, 2010 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Toss some apple or mulberry in with that bayberry cinnamon and see what you get. Maybe even try a hint of mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Candybee ... mixing Mistletoe with Macintosh is a hit with everyone who sniffs it. If I color it green, I will name it the obvious, "Mistletoe & Macintosh", if I color it red, I will name it "Macintosh & Mistletoe". I also got the idea of mixing Apple and Bayberry from the C&S's Bayberry Apple Spice. Mixing it is stronger than the one from C&S. I'm gonna try your mix of Cranberry Marmalade and Orange, it sounds great. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerstix Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I am thinking of seeing how the bayberry and butter rum would blend?Call it "Bayberry Rum".Or Essence of Bayberry,Bayberry Bliss.(mix of bayberry,rum,mint).I like coming up with names and such..Or mix orange,apple..and cranberry and call it"Bayberry Harvest" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Don't know about Butter Rum but Fillmore Containers carries the most awesome Butterscotch Brulee. Darn I don't have any left to test.Candlebuddy- I'll have to give the Mac & Mistletoe a try when I get a chance. Actually, I think I may have a little of each left. I like to first test a scent combo by putting a little of each oil into my tart warmer bowl. If I like the scent blend then I try it in a test candle.

Candlebuddy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Mac & Mistletoe is great, but to tell the truth, I prefer the Mac & Bayberry ... I'm going to carry both scents in my line for the holidays. I usually do the q-tip test, but I'm gonna dig out my tart warmer today! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Candyebuddy, let us know how that works for you. I love the bayberry apple spice scent from C&S, too, but it just isn't strong enough for me, so I was thinking of mixing my own as well. Good luck!

Candybee Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Candlebuddy posted that the Mac and Bayberry was a success. Thats enough for me to try it out. BTW-- I just love C&S Bayberry Apple Spice. But like you and Candlebuddy its not strong enough to suit me. I want more apple and more spice! So I'm gonna try the Bayberry & Mac!I wonder if CS Cranberry Marmalade and Bayberry would make a good combo? Have you tried that one Candlebuddy?

Candlebuddy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Candybee, no I haven't tried Cranberry Marmalade with Bayberry, but I've been thinking about it! I tried mixing it with Pumpkin Souffle, but I don't care for that combo. Although Cranberry Marmalade is a good seller, it's not a scent that I really like ... and I find that it's not really a good mixer for me. I'm gonna try mixing it with orange, but it gets me frustrated because I'd like to find a combo that I'm really excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm not a big fan of cranberry myself but I do like CS Cranberry Marmalade. This year I am adding CS Sage & Pomegranite to my fall lineup. I was just thinking maybe the pomegranite will be a good mixed with the bayberry; sage, bayberry, pomegranite. It sounds good. Hmmm....
