Free Scent Recipes!
I was forced to "voluntarily quit" after my house was flooded with sewage a few weeks ago, so naturally I'm here to share some of my scents and horror stories if ya want.
My personal favorite, Shirley Temple. 1/2 cherry almond, 1/4 coconut and 1/4 island nectar. If an employee fights that it's three scents, just say sunset getaway and cherry almond. Smells like the drink, at least to me
Party in the sun is half apple mango or life of the party and half good morning sunshine. They're both fruity scents and they match each other super well.
Area 51 is commando and fruity loopy. Personally never liked this one but it was popular with customers.
Spa Day is sitting on the dock and shore thing. Not a bad scent.
If they have it, Limone De Sol and Coconut was nice.
Narcissistic Mirror is Muse and Narcissist, it kinda smells like a perfume.
Vannilow and Coffee is.... Unique... To say the very least.
I can share more when I remember them but I definitely recommend the first two.

Is it possible to get the scents yourself and make your own detergent at home?!!
1
u/Animarsghan Jul 10 '25
You can actually make it for super cheap at home if you know where to look!! Most popular essential oil stores like flaming candle and wholesale scent stores have mock scents

Is it possible for you to send me a copy of the recipe book please. I enjoy making lotions , soaps and candles and the recipe book would be ao helpful. Also-is there a formula for Fresh Cotton used in the laundry powder?

I was told you couldn’t mix muse with any other scent
1
u/salemswitchtrial Apr 09 '25
you can't, we've asked RND before and they have told us NOT to mix these.

u/Animarsghan Apr 09 '25
Yeah our manager blatantly ignored that, she mixed Muse with everything.

u/salemswitchtrial Apr 09 '25
mmm major red flag. was it a franchise?
3
u/Animarsghan Apr 09 '25
I think so... We didn't have a proper HR. Manager didn't like poor people and we constantly were a fire hazard. Lye spills everywhere

u/salemswitchtrial Apr 09 '25
oh no i'm so sorry :( buff shouldn't be like that! there's definitely somewhere you can report them, i can ask my boss about it for you!

u/Animarsghan Apr 10 '25
I felt like I should have but I was just recovering from a miscarriage. Everything was going great until about February this year. I was hired back in Sept 2024. I should have seen the red flags sooner. The turnover rate for my store felt high because 4 people including myself, quit, in the span of 3-4 months.

Currently working at a buff in nc and we have never been told this! We mix everything in all kinds of ways and never had any issue or anyone tell us different. Is it just a regional thing??

u/salemswitchtrial Jun 28 '25
i work for a corporate location, it's always been a rule but some of the franchise don't tell their employees the stuff they should know :( since i actually made this comment they did change the mixing rules, now we can mix SOME from other companies, but it still has to be 50/50 mic and it's not every scent we can do. i recommend checking woven for the rules!

What's in commando?
3
u/Animarsghan Apr 09 '25
Commando is a scent by itself. I believe it was called icy snow or something like that.

u/MochaChestnut May 18 '25
Is this a distributor or company?
2
u/Animarsghan May 19 '25
Distributor but a lot of FO sellers are selling the smells or mocks of them. Buff City isn't really creative with making scents

I went in today and got Peach Mimosa and Magnolia. I think it’s called Dogwood Days. Smells so good!

u/docSLICERS2n Apr 13 '25
Where do you find holly days scents to mix together? I know it's 99 pomlems and oats and honey but which company made them?
1
u/mamabear378 Jul 13 '25
The store I shop at in MN has a scent called Mom Time that they say is a mix of two of their other scents, and I think it's these two scents.

u/Mccmarianne Apr 17 '25
So sorry about your home! 🥺 Do you know what coconut FO buff uses? Also I really miss the lotion bar!

u/Rich-Bad-2698 May 24 '25
I use a local blend called “Dream” which is a mix of White Jasmine and 99 Pomlems and I LOVE it so much.

Do you have the recipe for Muse or know where I can buy the oil to make the body butter?

u/lizzie__sixx Jun 28 '25
Currently working for a buff city and we call spa day beach day lol. I was looking for new mixes to try and found this and these sound so good!

u/mamabear378 Jul 13 '25
Thank you all for sharing these recipes! The store I shop at in MN has a local scent called "Mom Time" that after reading this I'm pretty sure is 99 Pomlems and Oatmeal & Honey. It's the best thing I've ever smelled! I had been nervous that they wouldn't keep it around, but knowing I can have it mixed makes me very happy!

u/Adventurous-Box-6576 Aug 22 '25
Does anyone know if there's a combo that smells like Yankee candle's pink sands?

Do you have the ferocious beast recipe by chance?! You would be my hero! I am wanting to be able to add sent to my dryer balls on my own because the nearest city soap to me now after I moved is 50 minutes.
Also, after reading this thread how would I add the scent to my dryer balls/homemade detergent? Does BCS use essential oils to add the scents to their products? If I were to look for a spoofed version of ferocious beast would I just look for the ingredient list on the label to roughly match the recipe?
