Aileene Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm doing a sampler box in January that has a theme of 'Blizzard White Out' I usually do two fragrances for the boxes I'm in. I've already narrowed down a 'mint'/'ice type fragrance, but I am running into a wall for a bakery/foodie type of fragrance that would fit the theme.I always try to put scents in that have the greatest common denominator for customers, which means that bakery/foodie seems to be a must.Any suggestions? I want to do something a 'little' different to stand out some, but not be sooo different that no one likes it as the purpose of doing this is to bring people into my shop/site.Thanks in advance,--AileeneI make melts & votives w/ KY parasoy right now if that helps narrow down choices. Still testing container waxes w/ my jar choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjo Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 someone on here had mentioned Mabel's Mint Cookies...not sure where that's from though. I just ordered Frosted Winter Berry from AH. That might work for another option. Not very bakery, but sweet. You could pick a cookie smell and call it Icebox Cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mabel's Minit Cookies is from Aroma Haven. I like the mint cookie scent from www.mecandlesupply.com ... I've renamed it Sweet Snow. I've also mixed Jack Frost or Peppermint with vanilla to make Sweet Snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 You could rename a Vanilla Bean Noel dupe to Vanilla Bean Snowflake...which is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aileene Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 These are all great ideas, thanks so much I just totally hit a wall trying to come up with something to match this theme after so many months doing these boxes and getting my fall/winter line together and out lol.Jack Frost is one of my top 3 choices for the 'mint' fragrance, but I've got NG Ice Capades on the list as well...they're a little close so I'm dithering lol.--Aileene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 NG - Cracklin Birch is a fabulous scent..It is a wonderufl year round scent.I'm enjoying that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 So you naming something snowball fight? Maybe a fruitloops and vanilla combo or even a dab of mint to that fragrance might be good. Yellow snow could be lemon and vanilla or a lemon vanilla and mint mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yellow snow could be lemon and vanilla or a lemon vanilla and mint mix. I somehow don't think "yellow snow" smells like lemon or vanilla or mint....I vote for "Winter Candy Apple". I never connected "candy apple" with anything but Autumn, but leave it to Bath & Body Works to screw with people's scentsibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxcandles Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I love BBW's Winter Candy Apple. Anyone know who has a dupe for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Doesn't Tennessee Candle Supply still carry it?Darbla ... lemon = yellow = why I picked it lol. Edited November 1, 2010 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aileene Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks again everyone for the ideas. Sorry for not checking her for a few days...I've been hit by the lovely flu this season.I really do appreciate the scent ideas and even the renaming ideas. Although Scented I'm not sure how well 'yellow snow' would go over...but I just might do it for the humour angle...I bet no one else will be doing anything similar LOL--Aileene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 LOL! Well ... hard to say, but you could always just add "Don't eat" in front of it and then make it a great lemon curd scent maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxcandles Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions, I am going to try some samples of Winter Candy Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I somehow don't think "yellow snow" smells like lemon or vanilla or mint.... I know what you mean! It makes me think of dog pee in the snow. Yuck!I'd definitely rename that Lemon Snow.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
