Moneypenny Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi! The only one of those that I have tried and loved is English Garden! Wonderful fragrance and great strong throw in parasoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I've tried basil& herb. It is good and strong, a little to herby for me by itself but I use it for blending. I use soy Edited January 8, 2015 by franu61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I use Med Fig and Rain Water all the time. The MF is a lovely fruit and floral, more floral to me, ladies love it. I use it in soap and candles. The RW is a nice clean scent with light floral notes. It reminds me a fragrance I used to use called olive blossom.

Sonoma Roses Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Mediterranean Fig is really nice in CP soap, easy to work with and the scent sticks. It is more of a natural fragrance than a perfume. I have been wanting to try the Fig Tree, I have heard that it is nice too. I have only used the English Garden in a mix, I was making soap, and a little worried about acceleration.

Candybee Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've only used the English Garden in M&P. I blended it with rose and called it rose garden. It was lovely. Don't know how well it works in wax or CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've used basil & herb and its a medium to strong scent in candles. I'm testing Fig Tree and Rain Water now. Fig tree is doing great and has a nice medium HT. I like it better than Mediterranean Fig. Rain Water is on the lighter side but still good. All scents tested in soy.

Joeturbo26 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am particularly excited to try the fig tree---in hope that it smells like my absolute favorite candle in the world. The Diptyque Figuer without the 65.00 price tag LOL. JACKBENIMBLE, I think I saw your scent reviews on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Fig Tree is so lovely.It doesn't have any of the fake fruity notes that are sometimes added. It smells very "high end" to me. I also use Mediterranean Fig and like it, It has a unique fragrance and does well for me in CP soap.

Candybee Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Okay you enablers! Looks like I have to try the Fig Tree too! I love their Med Fig but it does not smell like fig to me. It works awesome in CP, M&P, and candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeturbo26 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Haha now I'm getting even more excited! They arrive on Monday but I am leaving town on a business trip until the following Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do some more of those scent reviews soon. I keep saying that but I end up not doing them. I Hope they were helpful. I tested Fig Tree again yesterday. It is a great scent! Best way to describe it is a clean but earthy scent. I'm hoping to take it to my shows this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeturbo26 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ok so I'm back home from my business trip and I've had a chance to smell them all! Unfortunately the fig tree doesn't smell anything like the Diptyque Figiuer as I had hoped has anyone ever smelled the diptyque Figiuer and can offer some suggestions? As for the others, the rain water is INCREDIBLE. I get an incredible floral light musk from it, can't wait to pour that one into some wax!
