Good Day Folks!I love it when we get new fragrances in! We test new scents all the time, and most don't make the cut, and our perfumer will re-blend and re-blend, till it's just right. Then when the final scent arrives, I love to pour it, blend it, and create interesting candles with it.
How do we choose a new scent?
We start by listening to our customers. People ask for certain fragrances all the time, and we listen! We call our perfumer's and request sample runs. So, for example, we just got in a fantastic peanut butter scent. It started a few months ago when we needed a "nut" type of fragrance, mainly for blending. (Think peanut butter banana, peanut butter & jam, chocolate peanut butter....) When the samples came in, we got a few to try. We first did the "sniff" test, does the oil smell good? If so, we put it into wax. Some fragrances smell great in oil form, but not so great after they are blended with hot wax. After the candle is made, we burn it! How strong is it, did it take colour well..... did it burn well..... If not, we start again.
New Scents Just Arrived!
Peanut Butter---I LOVE this one, it smells like a jar of creamy peanut butter. We poured it straight, and it's in the store, and tomorrow I plan on blending it with a few other scents!
Iced Tea---So cool and fresh. A tall glass of iced tea in the summer always hits the spot. In our candle shop, we keep iced tea crystals around and all it to our bottles of water. This scent will blend really well with berries, mint, and citrus fragrances.
Brown Sugar and Oatmeal---warm oatmeal cookies fresh from the oven! This scent has a hint of spices in it, but it's pretty heavy on the oats, butter and brown sugar. This scent will make your home smell heavenly!
Give these new scents a try, and watch for many more to come! Have a request, let us know!
Cheers,
Christine :)
