I was wondering what everyone's favorite scent shot combinations are (2 scents you like to mix together)? I'm planning on ordering quite a few in my next order and was wanting some input. Also, any scents you ladies like just by themsevles would be awesome too. I like the warm, cozy scents- I haven't tried anything floral or anything along those lines but I am open to trying anything. Thanks for any suggestions!

Creme Brulee, Vanilla Velvet, Cream Cheese frosting or coconut ALL ARE AWESOME mixed with ANYTHING fallish/holiday scented. (like country bumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, simply delicious, home sweet home, sweet comfort, caramel hazlenut creme, hollydolly, cranberry banana flip, cranapple, sugarplums. pumpkin pickin, caramelized pralines) just to name a few (can you tell i really enjoy mixing my scent shots? LOL Hope this helps! I can't wait to see what you get and what others share here also! Hugs, Summer

chicklebird--I can not believe I can't remember who first mixed them together in a candle--I even went back looking at the posts and can't find it---then another person did it and I have an order coming and I did it also. Victoria has not shipped my order yet---and I was able to talk to her today and get one of those wick trimmers added on YEA !!! I have had one for years from that other candle company---but I can tell that the one Victoria has will work much better.

WOW Summer, you are the scent shot queen! I can't wait to try them out. It won't be for awhile, but I was just wanting to get a few ideas to write down. Thanks for all the help!

Oh yea Carole D I want to get one of Vic's wick trimmers, I have one I got years ago at a gift shop in town, but it doesn't have that foot thing that measures the wick perfectly. I know Vic's will be better...I think maybe it was chrisgfal that ordered the Candycorn/Buttercrem first (not sure tho)!!

so does the buttercream just cut the sweetness of candy corn or add to it or what? i guess i won't get it till i smell them both, but it doesn't seem like i'd ever think to mix those two

THANK YOU februaryrose & ellie88! I really enjoyed chemistry in college, its spilled over into my love of experimentation of mixing scent shots! I'm working on some mixes that are not fall/bakery/holidayish. I will post them soon as I narrow down which ones turn out awesome!
HUGS, SUMMER

That is too funny Summer...I can definitely see the chemist in you! I actually got my degree in environmental chemistry but I haven't been in a "real" lab since I graduated. The closest I get these days is taking soil samples and doing a bit of field chemistry when I'm out in the field at sites. Actually Summer, you got me into mixing scents so thanks for all of your suggestions!
