kcollins78 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I just got an email from Peak (REMOVED SALE SPECIFICS -- Scented) FO sample packs (EDITED AGAIN TO REMOVE SPECIFICS, A VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION) and would like to try a bunch of good ones. I searched the forum and came up with the following as must-tries, do you have any other recommendations?Mountain LakeMoonlight PathWhite tea & GingerLavenderLilacOceanBlackberry TeaBlackberry SageCoconut MilkFiresideHome for the Holidays(I haven't checked Peak's website to see if any of those have been discontinued; some may have been because I couldn't pull up any posts more recent than '07 or so...)Thanks!!

pcbrook Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I have tried the White Tea & Ginger from your list and it is very good. I would recommend that one. Edited June 16, 2011 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvyCandles Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Not sure what you are looking for, but, Pink Sugar, Almond Pastries and Cantaloupe are great! Edited June 16, 2011 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcollins78 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Sorry about that, I didn't realize I was violating any rules when I mentioned the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 My Peaks favorites areBanana Nut BreadAmish HarvestStormwatch Yankee DupeCoconut MilkI've read good reviews of their Ocean, I have not used it though. Don't like the Watermelon, like Indiana's better. Not thrilled with their Patchouli, lack depth and warmth in my opinion. The Buttermint Candies are very minty with very little creamy butter notes.

EnvyCandles Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Sorry about that, I didn't realize I was violating any rules when I mentioned the sale I know it sounds weird, but they only want sale stuff mentioned in the 'sale' section. It is near marketplace. Not sure why, but hey, whatever ...LOLYes, Banana Nut Bread is absolutely delish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I know it sounds weird, but they only want sale stuff mentioned in the 'sale' section. It is near marketplace. Not sure why, but hey, whatever ...LOLTo keep it all in one section so it is easier to find and to keep from having several posts of the same mention of a sale from controlling any area of the board.

coconut Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Almost everything from Peak's is good. Mango Papaya, Rose Bouquet, Jamaica Me Crazy, Spruce Christmas Tree, Clean Cotton, Cool Citrus Basil, French Vanilla, Grandma's Swinging Eggnog, Lemon Pound Cake, Coconut Lime Verbena, Lilac, Pina Colada, Sage & Lemongrass, Spiced Cranberry, and White Tea & Ginger are favorites of mine. The only one I specifically avoid is Hollyberry & Ivy, smells like cat pee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodle Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I am not sure what you are looking for, but Peaks has a great Plumeria. Of your list, I like the Lilac, Coconut Milk, and Lavender. I have not tried any of the others that you have listed. I would also DEFINITELY recommend Mandarin Plum, Hyacinth, Orange Blossom, and French Vanilla.

JanetsCandles Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Vanilla Passion is a good one, one of my best sellers and it blends well with a lot of other scents. Cedar is good, smells just like fresh cut cedar wood. Lilac, Lavender, Rose (smells authentic, not the chemical rosey smell you get in some lotions), Macintosh Apple, Cinnamon smells like Red Hots candies. Orange is just a straight orange smell. I don't think there are many I've found from there that are not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Has anyone tried the Watermelon or the Strawberries & Cream? I got them both and I am dying to try them in a candle. They smell delicious in the bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only candle I've made so far was with Beach Linen from Candle Science but didn't get much of a hot throw from it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jluper7297 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I haven't poured either of them yet, just the honeydew melon. DH wanted to try that one first. I am also waiting on my liquid dyes so I can make the completed candle to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have not tried Watermelon, but the Strawberries and Cream is super strong and very accurate.Did you find that you had to wick up or down with the strawberries & cream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Did you find that you had to wick up or down with the strawberries & cream?I wicked up one. I used a CSN 14 in 3" feather palm pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks! I can't wait to try that one in a candle. I'm using 4630 in a 9oz hex jar. All I have at the moment are zinc core wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
