RWV Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 What is your absolute favorite, non-fuel smelling, strong-throwing key lime pie/cupcake, etc. scent?OK, I LOVE sugared spruce, but don't know if it will sell well alone, so was wondering what to try with it. I've tried cinnamon, orange and cranberry already. Any other suggestions? The good thing is, if it doesn't sell, I'll burn them ALL for myself--LOL! Thanks everybody!

xxxtennillexxx Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 What is your absolute favorite, non-fuel smelling, strong-throwing key lime pie/cupcake, etc. scent?My favorite Lime scent is Frosted Lime Cupcake from NG. I do have to warn you though....When I was making this in candles, it smelled horrible! I almost trashed the candles b/c it smelled like baby throw-up so bad! Luckily, I waited until the next day and was very worried but I lit one. That stinky smell was gone! I have no idea why it smelled like that while pouring but it is fine now. I burn candles and melt melts in that scent all the time. It is very strong, 1 tart smells up my entire house! I've never smelled sugared spruce, but I too would think some type of cranberry or orange, maybe even a pomegranate would go with spruce.

Scented Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Oh maybe some plum, maybe some mint (peppermint before spearmint, but try them both), maybe some oakmoss, maybe a mix of some heavy florals (gardenia and rose come to mind) and a rose and plum combo is stuck in my head too. And then maybe some herbals with sage or some basil might work well. Key lime ... any citrus stuff, but herbals might be good too, maybe even some woods. Something like chilies and spicy ones might make a good tex-mex thing or south of the border thing. Maybe combne with buttercream ... maybe a little coconut and sandalwood and key lime might produce something too ... hard to say. Mesquite and lime would be good too ... different, but possibly good ... oh and there's mango or mandarin to think about tooI'm guessing you're in for a lot of Q-tip testing.

Barbara AL Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I like to mix Apple Jack & Peel with Sugared Spruce or mix it with Sugar Cookie and Peppermint for a Santa's Whiskers.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I mix sugared spruce (ics) with mc's cinnamon sticks. It sells great in fall/winter. Either Ng's frosted lime cupcake or mc's key lime pie are both awesome & both different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I don't mix Sugared Spruce with anything ... it's a great seller. I use Key Lime Pie (ST) from ICS ... another great seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ditto on the Key Lime Pie (ST) from ICS. It's the best out there. I also love the Frosted Lime Cupcake from NG. It's great in a body butter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't mix sugared spruce with anything, either. It's one of my favorite FO's and I make it year 'round, because I LURVE it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I am a HUGE fan of BCN Key Lime Pie. It is SUPER strong so I usually back down to 3/4 oz pp and it still is crazy strong. I have mixed this with BCS Cherry Vanilla (1 KL:2 CV) and had great reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzpickles Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) :bump:I'm going to piggyback off this post to ask which Sugared Spruce is your favorite? The idea of this scent intrigues me and I think I want to try it! TIA!! Edited August 29, 2010 by mzpickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I prefer ics's over thecandlesource sugared spruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 I love Brambleberry's and WSP, but they were pricey, so I went on a hunt to find one like theirs, but more affordable and I found it from Aztec. Smells the same to my nose--it's strong and more affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
