pleasureridgecandles Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The only one listed I've used is Dreamsicle but it was not in B&B. I can tell you that it smells awesome and it smells just like a dreamsicle. I bet it would smell great in lotions, soaps etc. Not much help sorry.

mparadise Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I use Banana Cream Pie in my kids line with GREAT reviews. Just make sure to use vanilla stabilizer with it because it will turn funky colors without it. Watermelon is awesome in MP soap too. I personally have not used FS Orange but I know a friend of mine uses it all the time and LOVES it. It makes an interesting blend with their Pomegranate too. Got that blend in lotion during a swap and it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelb5499 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks for the replies so far!!! I'm looking forward to some more reviews. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodle Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have only used two on your list with great success. The scents are Banana Cream Pie Surplus and Tropical Guava Surplus. Both are fantastic strong scents that I continue to order. The Banana Cream Pie does change color as already mentioned. My customers just do not seem to care though. In fact, the ivory-tan lotions and soaps sells better I think than when I used to keep it white. Many perceive the brownish color as "pie crust" colored in Banana Cream Pie. Go figure.

AnnaSS Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The only one I've used from Bittercreek is Fig Pudding. It's perfect for Christmas time, my customers love it. I haven't used it in B&B though, just candles (soy) & it throws really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar_lea Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've used the leather in some blends that have gone into M&P soap. It has all of the nice tannis scents of leather. I haven't bothered shopping around for another so I can't say how it compares. OOB there is a slight chemical smell (beyond the ones you'd expect in a nice hide) but it's not overpowering and doesn't seem to stay when it's put in stuff.

CellarDweller Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Plumeria is awesome in soap and lotion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar_lea Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I should also mention that the leather's pretty strong. It's one I smell whenever I open the fragrance cupboard -- & there hasn't been a spill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 From BCS I love Coconut Lime and Cowboy Blues in B&B. Others from BCN that do well for me are Key Lime Pie, Cedar & Saffron, Lovespell, MacApple, Pink Sugar and Stonehenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've CP soaped a few from BCN..Love the Purely Herbal, Drakkar is great, mac apple is a nice scent though not very strong in my bars (used 1 oz./ppo) still like it very much though. Mountain Lake is knock your socks off strong, I used about .7 oz/ppo, smells a lot like Irish spring to me, Verrry clean soap scent..Lemon pucker is a tart lemony scent, I like it okay, nothing special though so probably won't reorder that one. Wildzingerberry Tea- liked it pretty well for a berry scent. Didn't care for their Cool Water dupe smells nothing like the cologne in my cured soap. That's about all that I've tried from BCN, definitely would recommend Purely Herbal for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
