Darbla Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm only going to make one Christmas scent for friends & family cuz I am broke-azz, so help me decide which one. If you knew you had to pick only one Christmas FO, what would it be? What's your absolute favorite, or what is quintessentially Christmas to you?

Scented Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Probably Tapestry by AH/RE, but really maybe it would be Cinnamon balsam from Peak ... or ... (just kidding!) those are the two I would swing between until I try out Peak's Winter Wonderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 NG's Christmas Splendor and Pumpkin Pie Spice from Tenn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 We have a blend called "Icicle Fest". It is basically a Jack Frost dupe, but I found my custom blend to throw better in soy than the stock FO's I tried. I sell out of this scent year round; it rocks.

moonshine Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 For me it would be hands down Peaks WINTER WONDERLAND- it not only smells like xmas it reminds me of long cold snowy nights wrapped up in a snuggie watching a good movie with fireplace roaring!I love CS Mistletoe also- that is one of my favorites I keep all year round and rename Northwoods.

megandgarr Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I really like Dickens Christmas from Alabaster (now Community Candle). If memory serves me, I believe it smells just like NG's Christmas Splendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWV Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I cannot choose only one--Christmas Splendor, Sugared Spruce, Holiday Scentsations/Citrus, Cranberry/orange (or anything cranberry). Dang, you guys, I'm gonna have to try Peak's Winter Wonderland now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot choose only one--Christmas Splendor, Sugared Spruce, Holiday Scentsations/Citrus, Cranberry/orange (or anything cranberry).

Darbla Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 OK, this 'Winter Wonderland' has got me intrigued. I read the scent notes at Peak but what does it smell like in wax? What is the result of all that together, if you can explain it? What are the predominant notes? Does it evoke any kind of feeling you would use to explain it?

Does it evoke any kind of feeling you would use to explain it?I am not the greatest at describing scents but here I go....It goes two ways for me... the first being the anticipation of a huge winter storm...snuggled up on the couch with a hot cup of coffe watching a amazing movie with the fireplace roaring and hearing the wind whipping outside and seeing the snow flying out the window... the spice notes in it make me think of "indoors" winterNext being the morning after the blizzard- when I go outside to feed the horses and the snow is sooo crisp and sparkly without a mark on it- the sun shining making the trees look like glass the air crisp and sharp and the sky as blue as can be... the balsam cedar and eucalyptus notes make think of "outdoors" winterThose are the thoughts that come to my mind when burning this- the notes I pick up on are cedar, balsam fir a hint of spice (the clove) and a hint of sweet(not sure what)- its one of those that you keep smelling something a little different every time you walk by it but it always evokes thoughts of winter- not just Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
