Still testing a bunch but here is what I have so far:
Blackberry Tea
Key Lime Pie
Lilac
Sugar Cookie
Mulberry
Mid summers night
I use Ecosoya 135. These FO's are "keepers"
I started testing at 9% but some could go down. HTH

Blueberry Muffin
Ginger Peach
Black Canyon
Lavender
Cucumber Melon
Coconut Milk
Sage and Lemongrass
All used at 7% load in KY Puresoy. All had excellent throws, especially the Blueberry Muffin, Lavender, and Black Canyon. I don't think I have tried a Peaks FO so far that has not thrown well for me.

I've heard it said before that Macintosh Apple is hard to get to throw in soy. I haven't been able to get Apples and Oak to throw for me.

Being new I have only tried one scent from peak-Buttermint Candies. It was awesome! I highly recommend it, especially this time of year. I also tried blending it with a chocolate scent and it ended up smelling like Fannie May's Mint Meltaways. Very good!

That's good to know because I bought a MacIntock Apple FO hoping to get it to throw since the Apples and Oak was such a dissapointment.
Baked Apples throws great in soy also!

Allan said they thoroughly test LOTS of different FO versions of the same scent before they ever add it to Peaks line. Sometimes this takes them MANY MONTHS.
Peaks FO's seem to be underated on some other candle makers' boards or lists like the KY Scent list. I don't understand why that is.
My all-time favorite of Peaks is the "Banana Nut Bread". I have NEVER found a more authentic banana bread anywhere else. The reviews of the supposed great banana nut breads I've read from other FO suppliers (which I tried) don't even come close to Peaks.
When you like Banana Nut Bread as much as I do, and want an OMG AWESOME delicious scent, I highly recommend this one.
If I had to choose only ONE scent from Peaks, this would be it.
What would be your ONE scent from Peaks that you absolutely could not live without if you could only choose one?

My all time biggest seller from Peaks is Amish Harvest.
I don't like the scent.. (could be I smell it too much)
but people literally fight for these candles when I bring them into work. Its unreal. Also, a HUGE seller with all my out of state wholesale accounts. I just got a re-order for another full case of just Amish Harvest from a CA acct.
The DK soy list is hopefully going to post my Peaks reviews soon. I just submitted a list of fragrances that really do wonderfully in soy. I agree with you Wayne, on that. Peaks is a hidden jewel on that list.
Also, Georgia Peach from Peaks is fantastic. I dont care for peach personally, but its the truest Peach you will find from ANY supplier. I have purchased at LEAST 18 versions of Peach FO and Peaks outdoes every last one.

I've not bought any FO's from Peaks because I thought it was too far from me and shipping would be bad. But there was a Peaks co-op near my area, and next time they order I sure am going to try some!

Where exactly is Peaks located?  Do you think the s&h to Louisiana would be horrible  Would you order from Peaks over any other f/o supplier, in other words are they highly recommended?

I believe Peaks is out of Colorado, which makes it closer to you than me! I'm in Michigan. However, if you look in the classified ads section under Business board they might have a co-op close to you. I know they started one in Mich. Everyone raves about Peaks FO so I think they must be really good!

You are all making me soooooooo jealous. I just placed my first order for FO with Peaks, but it won't be here until Monday. I can't wait to try out making Soy votives with Peaks FO. I ordered Macintosh Apple and Cucumber Melon. Will let you all know in a couple of weeks.

Agonna, Peaks is one of the site you know what your shipping chgs. will be before you place the order. I personally hate it when I have no clue what the chg will be until after I place an order & get an email from the supplier. It will be on the left side at the bottom of where your list is. Very handy

One of my fav's is Lemon Pound Cake. Great hot and cold throw and smells just like the real thing. It makes me want take a bite everytime I smell it! but I think I'd be better off buying a real one  And yes, Peak's is in Colorado, in a suburb of Denver. BTW, i'm new to the board, as you can see, and hope to be spending some more time here!  I'm hooked!
Aloha,
Joann

Thanks! I am about to order some 6 oz tins from peaks and I am going to go ahead and get a few sample F/O's. Can anyone recommend a f/o that has both good cold and hot throw? And one that is pretty popular for this time of the year?
