RWV Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I know summer means different things to different people in different areas, but what scent do you smell and immediately think, "ah, summertime. . . . ." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenOH Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have 2...Strawberry Rhubarb from KY...it reminds me of summers at my Grandma's. Then I am absolutely in love with Beach Linen from Candle Science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 How can you just decide on one or two?I like Sex on the Beach (pun intended) and Coconut Lime, Mango Papaya, Ocean, Watermelon, Hawaiian Breeze, and yes Beach Linen is very nice!

RWV Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks guys--many of your choices are ones that make me think of summertime, especially fresh cut grass, watermelon, coconut lime, and anything pineapple/mango/coconut or any combination of those. I haven't tried the beach linen, but know I will now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Patchouli and almost anything ... I grew up a tomboy and we made forts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Scented I am beginning to suspect you may like patchouli!:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Suntan lotion scents. Anything with coconut but not a bakery coconut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Scented I am beginning to suspect you may like patchouli!:laugh2:I wouldn't exactly say like lol. But I will tell you that an incense combination of patch, jasmine and vanilla was always one of my favorite combos to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 OK I'm going to toss rhubarb into this mix. Rhubarb and Gooseberry pies ... yum! And, OK, watermelon. Those were all things to look forward to summer along with grilled hamburgers and dogs and S'mores (and a S'more scent would be a good summer choice) along with cherry pies. I gotta stop.

cedar_lea Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 In summer I always go for "exotic" scents -- Sandalwood (used lightly), tea, lemongrass, ginger, any of the Hawaiian florals. Something reminiscent of year round sun and travel.Althought I will say that most citruses and cotton candy also feel summery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have been testing out CS Pineapple Coconut in my GG. Love this scent for summer but wish it were a tad stronger.Did anyone mention Citronella? Not exactly a scent you want to smell but its a big summer seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 That sounds divine! Is this a FO you buy somewhere or do you mix yourself?No. I used to buy five different Gonesh Cones and just burn one of each and often together. I keep thinking about making the mix though. I may have to try it sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to try it sometime.I'm thinking for your patchoul, jasmine & vanilla blended from FOs:Patchouli (MW)Jasmine (MW)Vanilla Lace (CS)I am so loving the VL from CS I want to use it as my main mixer for all vanilla blends. Scented-- this would be a wonderful blend! Thanks for the idea. Edited May 24, 2011 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I love the scent of Pina Colada or ANYTHING coconut. I always think of summer. I love these scents from Peaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I wish there was a Cilantro and Tomato FO. Two of my fav summer cold salad ingredients. Or maybe a Cucumber & Cilantro. Those would be nice too.Which reminds me-- Cucumber Melon. Also-- how about Aloe & Green Clover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Clothing on the outside clothes line used to be more noticeable to my nose in the summer so anything that is like Clean Cotton reminds me of summer. Coconut suntan lotion. Hot asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
