Starr Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 DH is on my tush that I need to make a pine blend. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what to blend into pine to make it more acceptable for me but still pine enough for the PITA (aka DH). Most of the other holiday types of scents are out I would think. I can't imagine cinnamon, cranberry, gingerbread, etc... working out very well with any pine scent that I've sniffled. Whereas I think something pepperminty might work, neither of us are big fans of peppermint scents. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 You can always do the q-tip test to see what will work. I mix sugared spruce with cinnamon sticks. Apple jack n peel is awesome mixed with pineI have strawberry pine from ics that's pretty nice.I have also mixed vanilla with pine, it's different, but a pretty good scent. I have seen cranberry balsam at ng. I think that's where I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well, AH has Country Christmas which is a blend of Pine and Cranberry and maybe a little cinnamon. It smells wonderful. And I think balsam and cedar is a wonderful combination.Maybe some cloves and cinnamon, or sandalwood and neroli, or rosemary, some lavender, frankincense...

Candlebuddy Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Here's a few that come to mind ...Apple + Pine = Apples and Evergreen (you could mix a bit of cinnamon in too)Vanilla + Pine + Peppermint = Snowy Pine/Santa's WhiskersCinnamon + Pine = another popular scent for the holidaysApple Harvest + Bayberry = a new mix for me this season, it's selling great.This Old House (Tenn. Candle Supply) + Christmas Tree (Berts) = Home for Christmas (another new mix this season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoususer.cleveland Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hmmm seeing your mention of apple and pine make me think I might finally be able to use the fir that's been sitting on my shelf. Apple/pine would be an interesting candle.I bought it to use in a pine tar soap, then smelled it, and knew I didn't want my soap to smell like pine-sol. I'd considered using it to make a laundry soap and never got around to it - lack of interest in laundry, I guess.Thanks for the idea.Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Wow. Thanks for the input everyone. I might be able to give some of this a try with some FO's I already have in the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
