Blackberry blossom at a small percentage would be nice too. Keep in mind that I have no fig.;)
Fig is a nice warm flavor, sort of like dates or raisins, not too sweet. Definitely likes a good steep. Early on it was strong and spicy, after two weeks it was just a nice support for the other flavors. Gave it some body

Then I would skip the blackberry if it is strong. I would think a cranberry would fit in nicely as well. Not sure how the fig and a grapefruit would work out. I would mix 30ml of the apple, peach, and fig, then split that into 3 10ml and add a different note to each.

Question for the cream lovers...does this seem to be too much cream for a honeysuckle cream recipe?
FA cream fresh 1.5%
Fa honeysuckle 4%
WF tahitian vanilla cream 2.5%
FA vienna cream 1%
Wondering if I need the vienna and vanilla both.

    I'm not what you'd call a cream lover but I do use it in some recipes. That seems like an awful lot of cream to me.

    That’s it! Lord, I wish I had your memory
    I would try 1% of the INW vanilla shisha. The flavor percentages are on the high side in that recipe so I don't think the vanilla would overwhelm the fruits, just give a little more pop.

    Me too, maybe keep the cream/honeysuckle to an equal ratio. Will drop the cream fresh or vienna; or maybe just reduce both. Thinking I may need to keep the vanilla note to pop off of the honeysuckle.

    All the talk about recipes.... @classwife Would love it if we posted some in the existing recipe thread.



    Well...it's not for me.
    It's for the people looking for a "X" recipe in the Recipe Forum and can't find one :)
