IwantItgreen Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have used some of Peaks FO and have found some really awesome ones. I'd like to find a few more sample to try because I just got their newsletter and ..... hint, hint! Look over in the Market Place on this Forum.I'm looking for those with strong HT.I'm planning to get their new pumpkin souffle and spruceberry.I already have their Spruce Christmas tree, Amish Harvest, Pear Spice & Sugar Plum Berries, BRV, White tea & ginger. I'd really appreciate it if you have tried and tested and found some awesome one if you could share them. Thanks:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwantItgreen Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks Jenny & Candy,Candy this is funny, you tried and like Cornucopia and I HATED it. I tried and LOVE Sugar Plum Berries! It has awesome HT and is a very, very close dupe to YK Sugared Plums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallwhitedogs Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have been thinking over the last month or so that Peaks doesn't get enough credit for having fantastic FO's and customer service. Their Amish Harvest (cinnamon spicy), and Black Canyon (sandalwood, musk) will throw in any wax. (At least all the soy and parasoys I have tried!) I love French Vanilla and Amber, it is so unique, with rich amber and I almost smell a touch of mint in the background, but I don't think it contains mint. The Cranberry Apple Marmalade seems to be a close twin to ICS Cranberry Orange Spice and CS Cranberry Marmalade, but Peaks is more complex and richer, IMO. Cornucopia is an apple-walnut-maple scent, very nice. Ocean is a fresh salty water scent, I got the idea from someone on here to mix it with a touch of Peak's Freesia, great soap scent! You won't be sorry if you sample Peaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 /agree I absolutely love Peak.I will have to tell you the red currant is just fabulous.The one I am not totally sold on is Spiced Pear.I love their customer service. They are one of my favorite suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMori Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I've never tried them, but ordered today. I hope they work out because their fo's seem very well priced.I had a very hard time limiting myself to 20. They really need to consider doing this more often or allowing 50.

soycrazy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 What about in cp? Anyone try them? The scent review doesn't have many listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantItgreen Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I've used Black Raspberry Vanilla in CP. I used 1oz PPO. I think the scent is a little on the weak side, but I didn't gel so maybe that's why. (or maybe cuz my nose is toast )It soaped beautiful. No Acc. or Discoloration Edited November 12, 2010 by IwantItgreen no A or D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I soaped Wild Mtn Honey, it was HP and it did great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I've used most, if not all in CP- the only peaks FO I've had issues with in CP is gardenia, it overheated like mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
