What do you think of these "unusual" candle scents??

ok I have found these unusual candle fragrances and I'm wondering if I should include them in my candle making business.





Here's the descripton for each one:





Cowboy Blues - This manly scent will make the cowgirls swoon! A tall, dark, handsome cowboy in faded blue jeans walked by..... leaving notes of sweet tobacco and rugged leather in the air.





Sangria - Spanish punch traditionally made with red wine and fruits, very popular in Texas! This festive blend includes red wine, sugar and cinnamon, with notes of orange, apple, lemon and peach with a touch of ginger. It's a fiesta in a bottle!





Texas Bluebonnet - Our beloved state flower! Bluebonnets are beautiful blue flowers that grow wild in the fields of Texas. This delicate, fresh floral is the epitome of Spring!








And in case you're wondering, yes I am from Texas and would be selling these in Texas.





Thanks in advance for your help!!

I am originally from Texas and I think all of these are really great ideas- very creative and not comonly seen.


I think if you market them well, you will sell them.


A lot of people buy candles because the scents remind them of childhood, of special times, people , etc. I think these are winners- I especially like the first one. I remember being around my uncle and always feeling safe and comfortable with the scent of sweet tobacco in the air.


I am in Washington and I sell candles (mine are a lot more frou frou) but I think (especially in the south where I was born and raised) there is a market for more wild and natural scents.


I hope all goes well for you- have fun and don't be afraid to be creative and try new things, no matter what people say or think- there are scents that when I hear the name I think ,"how could that be appealing?" but when I smell them it is completely the opposite of what I expected. I am sure oyu will do great. Make a bunch and find some specialty, tourist, gift shops and ask to put a few in there- scatter them as far as you can and I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.


Mix them up with some creative "texas style" candle holders- use the unexpected and display them creatively with Texa pride- the more 'personality' you put into them the more unique and attractive they will be to the buyer!
Reply:sure if you can make them smell the way you want to
Reply:I don't think the first two would "catch on"- But your Texas Bluebonnet scent shows promise... Go back to your drawing board and do alittle tinkering. Maybe something with a "leather" scent (as in a horses saddle) or a creosote flavor (like the way the land smells during a long awaited rain). Keep up the good work- %26amp; I'll be keepin' an eye out for your candles! :)
Reply:Cowboy Blue- may sell sometimes in candles the name sells its self like for instance I make candles and "Butt Naked" sells really well people like the name plus it smells really nice and also to capture there attention I have a naked baby laying on his stomach on the label its catchy and gets everyone else's attention.





Texas Bluebonnet- Didn't do very well at all for me in fact I discontinued it as many of the floral scents usually don't do very well except White Jasmine, Lavender, Gardenia, Sweet Pea, Eucalyptus, Fig, and Roses.





Sometimes Candles smell so good and then I can't seem to understand why that particular smell or candle isn't selling very well and I have found by just changing the name of the candle to something more suiting or exotic people buy it. So if a candle doesn't sell well but you like the scent of it try changing the name or jazzing up the label or methods of marketing.
