HeavenScentU Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I mix scents that aren't selling and it works. It is weird how some customers go with scent names that are familiar. I have a few scents that customers love that I just threw some scents together and now I can't duplicate it, so learn from my mistake and keep notes.

carol k Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 i totally agree with heavensentu. i have a big note book of recipes, also note where each fo came from. the same scent can vary alot from different suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Chic Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I also love Peach and Warm Vanilla Sugar. Lemon sounds good too, I'll have to try that one. One that I like to mix is Moonlight Path, Frankincense & Myrrh, and Gardenia. 3:2:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I mix green apple & raspberry 50/50 & it sells so much better than either one on it's own.Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I wanted to do something with my amber fo so I was thinking . . . maybe some vanilla, frakincense & mrryh, maybe a bit of rose, also thinking some ylang ylang. I have to make some candles later so I was going try it. wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hmmm... what's the q-tip test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 the q-tip test (this is how i do mine) i cut a q-tip in half dip one half in one fo & dip the other half in another fo put them in a glass jar put lid on let it sit for 4-24 hours open & smell it then you will have some idea what your mix will smell like in wax. also if you want one fo stronger dip another q-tip in that fo & add it to your jar, so it would then be 2 parts of fragrance A & 1 part fragrance B.

Jadryga Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Quick question... does an fo blend smell different when soaped from when put straight into a body oil?I'm having a hard time finding an fo blend that doesn't smell slightly cloying to me, despite lots of raves I see about the scent soaped. I can't soap for nuts cos lye comes under the Poisons Act here, though I'd like to so very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
