Fragrances of Note - a novelty candle to boot!

Posted by: Pioneer Soap Gal in ,

I recieved a sample of a new fragrance in my supply shipment the other day that I thought was interesting and I plan to make a test candle out of it to see how well it does strenth wise. It's called "Downy Fresh" , and you guessed it, it smells just like downy fabric softner. I cannot imagine using this fragrance in bath bombs or lotions, but I would imagine it would make a nice candle for those who enjoy the clean cotton/linen fragrances. I would imagine, if it throws as well I as hope, that it would make your home smell like freshly washed laundry. I personally, like the clean crisp smell of laundry straight from the dryer, it has a comfort to it.

Also, a while back, I got a sample of a fragrance called "Mary Jane". I think it has a really stinky skunky weedy smell to it. It reminded me of the prairie flowers we would pick in the pasture behind our house growing up. I believe they are called Indian Paint Brush. They are beautiful flowers, but they smell awful. lol Well, this particular fragrance oil is discribed to smell like fresh Cannibus. For those who know that smell and appreciate it I suppose, you'll be interested in sniffing it to see. Much to my surprise, it has become a popular fragrance, so I have started making a novelty candle with it. Straight Mary Jane in one, Magic Brownie in another and lastly a layered candle called 4:20 by request, which is layered with Mary Jane, Fudge Brownie and Caramel Corn. I intend to test the last two before I list them in my novelty stuff. I personally think it smells yucky, but there are some who adore it. After all, it's not what I like, right? lol
