Thanks Fleur.

 

I do like patchouli, especially when it's blended with other scents, so this is great.

 

Let us know if you order... I do like patchouli mixed with other scents... Haunted House by CH is a favorite... it has a touch of patchouli... I have also melted Honey Patchouli... can't remember from who... but I did like it... [smilie=th_00000020]

Would someone please try to remind me of what patchouli smells like? When I google it, I get "fruity" and "earthy" neither one of which are very helpful. Does YC have a patchouli that I can go smell?

Hi toberetired. Patchouli is more of a pungent earthy spice. Yankee has their Halloween Purr-Chouli scent out right now that is my favorite straight patchouli.

It's good blended with honey, pomegranate, or other scents that can soften it a bit.

 

Lush's Karma is another example. CandlesDippers has Karma too.

Thanks, Jules. At lunch, I will be at the Mall sniffing YC jar lids!!!

Sounds like a great lunch - and no carbs. :lol:

 

I went ahead and finally placed my first order with CFTKR today. I got a couple of sample packs (including the Patch) and Merlin's Forest too.

 

Also some egg nog , egg shaped tarts. I'm kind of regretting that one but I was in the moment. I hope it smells good since I apparantly have 6 tarts coming in it. That was totally an impulse buy. Has anyone smelled Carol's egg nog?

Hehehe...of course I have that one. :lol: Carol's Egg Nog is good especially if you like vanilla or cream type scents. I find that this one needs either a 24 watt combo melter or tea light melter. It didn't throw in a 40 watt bulb melter.

Thanks, LLVV. It's not something I would usually order. I don't know what came over me. At least I know you approve. It must be good. :lol:

Littlegoblin, it is funny that you mention that. The other day when I took a whiff of my Purr-Chouli tart, I instantly thought of those Scratch N' Sniff stickers and thought of Halloween. I couldn't remember which sticker it was, but smelling it took me back to the 80's instantly!

Oh, I remember that one! I loved those scratch-n-sniff stickers! I had a huge sticker collection when I was in elementary school and those were always my favorite.I guess my scent addiction goes way back. [smilie=th_bb20]

Thanks for that link. Talk about a trip down memory lane. [smilie=th_bb20] Kind of makes me wish I'd held onto my sticker collection. I remember the birthday cake one. I had a couple of teachers that would put scratch-n-sniff stickers on graded papers.

I order & reorder Carol's Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies, Bear Claws, Sweet Potato Pie and Caramels. Also her sugar sampler is fantastic.

Jules - I have Carol's egg nog too. If you like the eggnog you buy in the dairy isle around Christmas in the grocery store, I think you'll like hers, too. It smells really good, a little on the light side (to me), but still yummy! If you don't like it, let me know and I'll swap you something for it.... [smilie=th_confused3]

There are a lot of CFTKR threads floating around. ( I was not sure which one to post in, but this post is about fragrance so...)... I wanted to leave my impressions of a scent that I just tried from Carol... it is Merlin's Forest... when I first got it and sniffed it cold, it reminded me of something... could not put my finger on it... I decided to melt it today... I finally figured it out... I think it is Dove soap... my grandmother always had Dove soap in her bathroom (at least I think it was Dove, this was years ago... not sure if they have changed the fragrance)... this melt reminds me of that...

I thought I would post my impression... does anyone else think it smells like Dove soap?

... and it is not Dove soap... it still reminds me of my grandma's soap... [smilie=th_angry7]

oh my gosh Fluer that is funny because when i melted Merlins Forest my daughters said it smells like grandma's powder. So I think you are right about the soap smell.
