Guest OldGlory Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 One of my wholesale clients wants to add apple butter to her line. She already carries an apple pie candle (Aztec FO) and numerous other sweet and spicy bakery type scents so this one has to be really true and unique. Any thoughts?Also, if anyone makes a candle in a blue color, what fragrances are you using with a blue dye? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Nana's Old Fashioned Apple Butter. Its really strong and spicy. Its been a while since I used it. I think Natures Garden carries it.Candles I color blue; Ocean scents, clean scents like Clean Cotton, and "breeze" type scents like Hawaiian Breeze are light blue. Of course there is blueberry type scents too if she is looking for a bakery/food type. CS has a couple of good blueberry oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been so long since I bought from them. But I remember and love Nana's Apple Butter and their Pumpkin Pie Spice. I really should get some more.

B@BlissStreet Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Winter Hug from Southern Scentsations is wicked strong in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions! I'll gather some apple butter samples over the next few months and go from there.The blue really has me bumfuzzled. It has to be interpretive of the Smoky Mountains and we already have a clean mountain air type of scent and a blackberry scent. I'm thinking a blue floral but I can't even think of a blue flower in the mountain area. It will be a fun search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Blue Spruce maybe? CS has a nice one. You can go with a forest green which is a dark blue green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 We have a Christmas tree scent. I will give her a sample of blueberry or maybe bluebonnet. I have a few months to gather scents and create samples. I may even suggest a name change. She picked the name and then asked me for a scent to match it. Crazy woman knows I love a challenge, lol.

chuck_35550 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Being from Tennessee, I automatically think of persimmon as a mountain treat with a beautiful coloration to the ripened fruit. A spicy persimmon would be unusual. I carry a Kudzu fragrance that is very nice (think floral grape) that is kind of unusual as well.

Guest OldGlory Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Both great ideas Steve. Kudzu flowers are bluish/purple aren't they? And they smell divine. Too bad Kudzu is so invasive. I think she might really like the fragrance. If you don't mind me asking, where do you buy Kudzu FO, and which wax do you use it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have some Kudzu I can bring next week. Haven't seen any flowers yet on all this green! I'm surrounded by the stuff. When do they bloom?Both great ideas Steve. Kudzu flowers are bluish/purple aren't they? And they smell divine. Too bad Kudzu is so invasive. I think she might really like the fragrance.

Guest OldGlory Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 They bloom in the spring. The plants I've seen don't have a lot of flowers but they are quite fragrant. We'll swap a sample, ok? I'll bring Mistletoe Kisses and you can bring Kudzu. Thanks!Btw, kudzu can grow 18 inches in one day and it will overtake all other vegetation. If it borders your property keep a close eye on it.

ChandlerWicks Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I smelled a lot of honeysuckle this spring, it was incredible. I did smell something I didn't recognize, should have sniffed the fo! Yes, it surrounds property, looks like a Steven King movie. You're welcome! They bloom in the spring.

Guest OldGlory Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 There is wild honeysuckle near my house too. When I pull off the main road I open the windows and get a super strong honeysuckle fragrance most of the summer. What a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Sorry I took so long to answer. I get it from Community Candle Supply and use Clarus 3022 wax. It's somewhat a grapey floral but has some musky undertones which keep it from being a true floral. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie123 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 When I was still making candles I loved Apple Clove Butter from KY it is a beautiful Fall scent and was strong enough to fill a large room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awnl Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have two spice scents that are blue, both are strong sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) if set on floral, maybe look at Hippie Chick (RE) or Cobblestone Path (Candlewic). I think you could turn them blue and rename. Both have lavender in them, but in combination with other fragrances.If up to mixing ... try something like a combo of carnation, violet, wisteria, jasmine and douse with rain .. (finding that rain though might be tricky) ... seems I'm missing a floral in that combo though. Edited October 18, 2013 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 More great information and ideas - thanks everyone!I like the idea of mixing a floral and rain, and I have an awesome rain scent that I buy from Aztec. I'll see what I can come up with. I'm thinking about a bit of Mistletoe Kisses in the Rain, and some floral notes mixed in too.Someone gave me a sample of Kudzu so I'll be putting that in wax soon.

Traveler Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Backwoods had a Pumpkin Apple Butter fo that I used to love.As for scents that go with the color blue - I use blue for scents related to water, air, clean laundry, and masculine scents (I just vary the shades of blue). Blueberry, any blue floral, blue candy, etc., are also.hth with ideas :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OldGlory Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Whew, that's a lot of florals! But I do love mixing FOs for something unique. I'll see what florals I have and go from there. Great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denetteb Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 When I think of blue, I think of Blue Sugar (the Aqualina dupe...I like TSW version). I have not used it in wax before, only b&b, but I think it makes a great masculine scent and smells great! I bet it would do well in wax.

Great idea!Subtract the jasmine and use heather instead lol. The right rain really softens the floral blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
