AlwaysWondering Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 These types of scent families are not in my comfort zone. For whatever reason, I've had quite a few requests for these types of scents lately. Is the bakery scent fad finally fading? Could use some ideas. Thanks.

Scented Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Nah there will always be bakery freaks and then there will always be freaks like me who LOVE woody, resinous, ambery, Patch (mostly) and sandalwood FOs lol!All of them combine well with a ton of scents out there. All of them stand very well on their own too. Specifically are you looking for combinations of those scents with each or other fragrances or both?

chuck_35550 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 AH/RE has one called Sweet Amber Musk that is so beautiful and I love Blue Skies and then there is Daystar's Tuscan Lace (same as Indonesion Teak to me). Poured up some eucalyptus last night with spearmint, some with lavender and some with a little patch and they were all good. I'm getting people who want more summery botanical scents right now and so anything like (gag) Gardenia or Jasmine is good and they mix well with sandalwood or patch IMHO. Anyone remember that GL scent Magic of India? I still have some of that and love it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudMarineMom Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Tony's (SGS) Dragon's Blood is excellent. As is Moonworks Ancient Incense or Witches Brew. I love her Merlin's Forest and Patchouli Passion, but those are probably a little to light and sweet. I'm sure I have more, just can't think of them right now.

Camay Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ooh, some really good recs here! I'll second (or third, can't count) the patch blends from Moonworks. And the straight patch is good, if she gets it in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, this board is very giving and I appreciate it!I'm looking for blends within these "deep" scent families ready from the suppliers rather than blending my own. I ordered samples, in this scent family, from Moonworks. Looking for more ideas from other suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If you have not tried Stonehenge from Bittercreek, you should. It is so good.Here is the description: Archipelago Type Smoked Cedar Wood, Bergamot, and Amber blend perfectly to invoke the ancient mysteries of the Druids!

I've been visiting all the supplier's sites and reading these descriptions and falling in love. Much more interesting than reading the bakery descriptions. Leah, Stonehedge is on my order list - thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was a deep scent with such a "heavenly" name! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I second the Sweet Amber Musk from AH/RE... very pretty scent, and makes a fabulous blender. I also recommend: Wood Vanilla- Daystar (my ABSOLUTE favorite. Don't judge it OOB though... put it in something!)Egyptian Dragon (the best one was Southern Soapers, IMO, but OT's is good. Never tried other supplier's versions)Ambra de Nepal (Daystar and Scent Works carries this one)Sensual Amber (BBW Type)- The only version I've tried was from the Chemistry Store, but it looks like they no longer carry it. A few other suppliers have it, but I can't personally give you my opinions on their sniff factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Candlescience's Angel is amazing....it is very deep and earthy, with a touch of patchouliEveryone that comes in my office when I have this one going cannot get over the smell and end up buying some- its very seductive, lasts a very long time- in a melt anyways, I am still trying to wick it correct in a candle, it is a very heavy oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I finally got around to burning a couple of votives that I made with Moonworks' Patchouli a while back. It is amazing! I'll be bummed if she doesn't carry it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
