I have had good luck with scents from: Peak (for candles AND soap), WSP, BB, Sweet Cakes, Rustic Escentuals, MMS, in no particular order.
There's a difference between MY faves, and what sells well -- all noses are picky, picky. I dislike most fruity scents -- they tend to ALL smell like candy to me, but I get routine requests for them.
Bonsai from BB is a great man's scent, but not in your face. DH likes it, and he is the kind of guy who saves his Old Spice for black tie events.
Cedar, Sage & Blackberry from RE is a very big seller for me -- cedar and sage notes are there, but light. Makes a great candle, too.
Soapy Clean from BB sells great -- popular with men, women, kids.
Saffron & Honey from BB sells well. This one surprised me -- it smells like neither saffron nor honey, but is an intriguing, medium soft scent. People pick it up and put it down, and sniff and sniff. They can't identify it, but they are fascinated by it.
Honey and Beeswax & Honey combined, from SC is fabulous! I am a beekeeper, and this is what a hive smells like when I lift the lid and check the bees. I use this in candles and soap.
Green Clover and Aloe from SC is a great "green scent" without getting into the "Irish Spring" range.
The only EO (combo) I use is Mother Earth from WSP. Not a personal fave, but it sells well. I also like their White Citrus. I use their Orange Guava Odor Neutralizing FO in my laundry soap. A+.
I use Earth from MMS for hunter's soaps, and their Osmanthus, Oak Leaves & Acorns, and Mediterranean Silk all do well for me. Many of their scents run to sweet/sugary, or fruity, and that's just not my thing -- but others like them. Their honey flavor oil is great in lip balms.
Peak has a Wild Mountain Honey I use that I blend with the SC. They discontinued my Colorado Breeze. I have a sample of Black Canyon I liked very much. Also great people to work with re candles. I have had some tech questions and they ALWAYS are very helpful!
I continue my sad quest for an OMH fragrance that is: NOT 50% vanilla; NOT with almond notes; NOT with coconut notes. Beginning to think I may have to invent this one myself! :shh:
In six months, I'm sure I'll have something new to add.
