Noooooooooo!!!!!!! How could they do this to me?? I don't need anymore FO's, but how can you pass it up?? It's usually only 40% off and they limit it to 2, but this time it's 50% and limited to 3. Guess I've gotta do it >:)
 
How can you tell they are having a sale on their site. I couldn't tell. I looked I thought everywhere. I clicked on their FO sample pack and it said 19.95. Just wondering if I am missing something.
 
It's in their email.

Online Promo Code:
FRAGRANCEFEVER

Offer ends Thursday September 22, 2011. Not valid on prior orders. Only one promotion code per customer. Enter the promotion code in the box titled "Add a Promotional Code" at the bottom of your cart at checkout, and then click the gray arrow button next to the box to apply the discount.

I should resist but this is too good of a deal to pass up.
 
Sad, they don't ship USPS and shipping to Canada by UPS (which I can't get delivered) for one sampler pack is $35 :(

...wonder if they'd stay good in storage for up to a year. Sigh.
 
I'm gonna risk it. Google says FOs should be good for a year and up to 3 or even 5 or more years. They'll be stored in a cool storage unit in the dark the whole time. Thanks for the code Hazel, I deleted my email thinking I shouldn't bother.

I'm getting (with the idea I'll be getting them next summer with lots of time to make holiday soaps, plus others I'm interested in and a few I know I like):

#1 Blackberry Sage
#2 Almond Pastries
#3 Black Raspberry Vanilla
#4 Cedar Fragrance
#5 Clean Cotton
#6 Cucumber Melon
#7 Eucalyptus Leaf
#8 Genuine Leather
#9 Fruit Slices
#10 Home for the Holidays

#1 Mountain Pine
#2 Mountain Lake
#3 Ocean
#4 Pumpkin Soufflé
#5 Spruceberry
#6 Spruce Christmas Tree
#7 Winter Wonderland
#8 Sweet Pumpkin Spice
#9 Cinnamon & Balsam
#10 Fresh Baked Pie Crust

#1 Bayberry Fragrance
#2 Black Canyon
#3 Georgia Peach
#4 Ginger Peach
#5 Honeydew Melon
#6 Mediterranean Fig
#7 Hollyberry & Ivy
#8 Amish Harvest
#9 Apple Jack & Peel
#10 Paris Twilight

What'd everyone else get?
 
Im SOOOOOOOOOO excited, I need holiday fos, just in time. Ive been buying from them for 3 years, never seen a 50% off!
 
I know, that's why I couldn't pass it up. I got a mix of one's I know I like and a lot of new one's too. Can't wait to check them all out.

The new one's I'm trying are Birthday Cake, Breakfast at Tiffanies, Buttermint Candies, Carmel Apple, Cedar, Cinnamon Buns, Clean Cotton, Downy Fresh, Fireside, Fresh Linen, Georgia Peach, Ginger Passion, Green Tea, Hyacinth, Juicy Pineapple, Key Lime, Orange Blossom, Patchouli Patchouli, Purely Peppermint, Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Mint, Vanilla Passion, and Watermelon.

Some of the scents I already have from other suppliers but I want to check out Peak's version such as BDay Cake, Fresh Linen, Juicy Pineapple, Patchouli, Peppermint, and Watermelon. And with a sale this good why not??
 
Amy, the AJ&P and BRV are very good, plenty strong, and they stick. Both are well behaved. The AJ&P discolors to light brown.

Cuke is more melon than cuke; sweet but not overly so.

Georgia Peach faded for me but was nice while it lasted. Maybe if you avoid gel or go to .7 - 1 oz PPO it might do better.

Enjoy!
 
I didnt like ginger passion, make sure to use 1ozpp, van passion and breakfast at tiff do dis quite a lot.
I tried some new ones also, but had to get : sweet pea, black canyon(very good mens scent), coc lime verbena, some holiday scents, amish harvist is very nice( will rename it harvist)
I ordered 3 packs for 42! what a crazy deal, and I love that you can order as many of the same scent.
Happy soaping.

ps theres a nice spreadsheet on all of us that have tried peaks fos

FYI: did you know that cin buns is not skin safe? I saw someone had ordered that one.

The coconut milk is my favorite coconut FO of the 6 or 8 I've tried. It's not super-strong (go .8-1 oz PPO) and it does an initial weird morph. But then it passes. I have bars that are 8 months old and the scent level is about the same as it was a month out. It's a nice light coconut scent.

I used Coconut Milk FO in my salt bar... it morphed into a burnt plastic stench... it's slowly fading but there's no coconut scent left. However, this batch gelled extremely hot. I can't help but wonder if I tried it again and prevented gel if it would help the final scent.

LOVE these. BRV is pretty light but still yummy. Winter Wonderland is not a scent I usually like, but I pulled a bar out a week early to use it at the sink, I like it so much.
 
mulberry is very nice,
oh and I cant stand the green tea. dont ever buy mary jane! its the worst smell ive ever smelled :lol: .
 
AmyW & pgnlady- Cedar is a very subtle FO, but I like to use it to blend. I think it will be very useful. I've used it in soap & candles.

IrishLass- Spiced Cranberry is very nice soaped. It behaved well, no discoloration. Plenty of time for swirls. I soaped light at 0.5oz/ppo, would go up to 1oz/ppo next time. It has faded slightly at 1 month, but it's still really nice (more cranberry, less spice).

I'm going to order: Amish Harvest, Asian Sandalwood, Bayberry, Birthday Cake, Blueberry Muffin (?),Brown Sugar & Fig, Cinnamon & Balsam, Cornucopia(?), Cranberry Apple Marmalade, French Vanilla, Gingerbread, Love Spell, Mountain Lake, Mountain Pine, Mango Peach Salsa, Ocean, Patchouli Patchouli, Sugar Plum Berries, Sugar Cookie, Sweet Pumpkin Spice, Tall Grass, Tuscan Nights & Winter Wonderland (all new to me). I'm ordering a few that I already have like Pink Sugar, Spiced Cranberry & Blackberry Sage. I keep trying to talk myself out of it, but I'm not winning. :D

Has anyone tried the Sugar Plum Berries?
 
good choices. look at our past post on cran marm, it riced on a few of us, im going to hp it next time. also had issues w mango salsa.
 
Kerrie -

Have you used Sugar Cookie before? If not, it discolors to a very dark brown but the lather is white. I'm fairly sure I used .7 oz ppo. It does smell like cookies. It's a nice scent.

eta: I also didn't have any problems with it.

Mountain Lake (LOVE)
Sweet Pumpkin Spice (LOVE)
Winter Wonderland (LOVE)
 
peak wild honey

who has used wild mt honey in cp? did it acc really bad? I could barely get into m old!
 
I CP'd Wild Mountain Honey and it practically seized on me. Not crazy about the scent either, so I won't try that one again. Still, I've loved most of the FOs I've gotten from Peak. Just not that one.
