Love your takes on these fragrances! Have you ever tried doing blind fragrance unboxings? I.e. reaching into a batch of new fragrance samples and smelling without looking at the label. I find it's a fun way to test my aroma identification skills without influence of expectations.

Hi Terrence! I haven’t tried anything like that! That sounds like it could be fun!!! I might have to give this a try. 💛🌱

Hi BB is a soap company , they added the candle to expand and give more options to shoppers, but they started as a Soap company and that is the stronger side, thank you

Many of their scents work excellently in candles as well! I would agree that they have lots of great soap scents too!

The grapefruit and mint is my absolute favorite! I believe a little spilled in the box and had the front office at work going crazy! Everyone has requested something I make in that scent! Great find and suggestion ❤️ the Rose one has to grow on me… OTB it’s ok but my husband likes it! He is a hard man to impress so I’m definitely using it lol. I think I have to see how it performs then make my final decision. Thanks again always! 💛

Soap maker here! Finally something I know a lot about on your channel lol. I absolutely love anything grapefruit! I am going to purchase the grapefruit & mint for CP soap. Curious is Iced Vanilla Woods soap safe? After your description in the other video I HAVE TO TRY IT! 😂 Thanks for always giving your honest opinion! So far everything I have brought you recommended for candles are bomb! 👏🏾 Can’t wait to try some of these in cp soap.

I've soaped with both Pike's Peak and Dark Amber Rosewood in CP goat milk soap. Pike's Peak changed somewhat in the soap, it sort of bloomed and expanded? If you know what I mean? For me it's more interesting in the soap than OOB, and it's been selling well. When I made the Dark Amber Rosewood (and Smoked Cedar and Oud at the same time), I made a mistake and used them at 2.5% instead of 5%. The Smoked Cedar and Oud, which I *loved*, was all but undetectable at 2.5%, but the Dark Amber Rosewood was still quite strong and again, the nature of the scent changed somewhat compared to OOB. I need to get it again and see how it does at 5%; I'm a little afraid that it might be too strong given how good it was at 2.5%! It does discolor (even at that usage rate).

Hi Avellana! Thanks for your comment and for sharing. Now I’m excited to maybe give the Dark Amber Rosewood a shot! Incredible that it came through that well at such a low percent. Love and light always 🌱💛

The coffee are identical because they buy from the same perfumery company , that is the reason I don’t buy for so many company At once because must of them buy from the same perfumery co. My favorite is WSP and Northwood candle, their fragrance is from Crafter Choice is true they are the must expensive one but their fragrance are good and exclusive, Makesy also the prices more expensive but their are unique a excellent quality,

@earthglow Жыл бұрын

Love Makesy's oils!! Yup, even though sometimes sourcing may be similar, there often can be different nuances. Trust me, I've smelled thousands of oils!!!

Grapefruit and mint I have it from that company and did not impress me at all , I used in soap and do not last and forget it about the mint disappeared, I got 6 from that company and I did not like any of the 6 sorry my personal taste

Yup, I think it's decent but nothing novel.
