Ohhhh YAYYYY! You did try some FO samples from Candle Cocoon? What ones did you get? I’m super excited to hear about them. OH and yes ma’am I’m the one that told you about Studio Fragrance too. Candle Cocoons FO’s are just one of a kind and all of what I have tested has done great in my wax. How about Studio Fragrance? Most of what I have bought from SF tested great too! There were 2-3 that were just too light on their own but I actually like using them as blenders.

I have not yet tried anything from Midwest Fragrance. I did enter a drawing with them the other day, so maybe if I win I will have the chance to try them sooner then later. You know me Belinda…. I am a mini version of you…… Once I start buying I can’t stop lol. You of all people know how much I buy and have seen pics of my space. 😂🤣😂 But my goodness am I ever loving Studio Fragrance. I am always reluctant to try new suppliers, but they have been around now for a while and with the help of your opinion on them I decided to give them a go. I so glad I listened!!! They have impressed me over and over again. And the free shipping on anything over $25 is just unheard of! 💜

I couldn’t agree with you more! I called there one time to see if they could get a particular fragrance and he said they would check into it. A few weeks later he said they were testing out a few options and it will be on the website soon. They are so nice and so willing to accommodate us makers. You have to try their Cocoa Butter Cashmere, Peach Gelato, Island Escape, Apple Crisp & their Iced Vanilla Woods! So good! 🥰

Hello ladies and gents…. I just wanted to pop on the fragrance discussion thread and tell you all about my experience so far with Studio Fragrance. I had been chatting with a few ladies about them, so I figured I’d start a thread and share with anyone who might be interested in trying some new, quite impressive fragrances. Belinda is actually the one that first gave me the heads up about them and I have now placed several orders. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty darn picky about my fragrance oils. And I have to say that I’m pretty impressed! I started out with only a few bottles and they all did pretty well in my testing. So that is what got me to reorder. They have quickly become one of my main suppliers. And the icing on the cake is if you spend $25 you get free shipping!!!!! That kind of deal is just unheard of anymore. I’m in Ohio and they are in Florida and if I order say on a Tuesday I usually have it by Thursday or Friday the latest. 💙 them. Just LMK if you need opinions on what I have tested so far. I’d be happy to share. 😇

Honestly the FO’s from CC are some of the strongest longest lasting that I have ever used! I’ve only tried maybe 10-12 but my goodness the ones I have tried are stunners!

Candle Cocoons vanilla voodoo is OUTSTANDING! Hands down the best vanilla I’ve ever tried. They have quite a few fragrance oils that I have tested and love!

Hi @Scented. I know this is an extremely old post, but I wanted to see what you ended up thinking about Transcendence FO? I am going to be placing another order and have never tried their Mulberry & Moonbeams or their Neroli De La Luna. Or many others for all that matter. I know I love their sultry angel, vanilla voodoo, peony white tea, orange tea & crumpets, melon fig & apricot, cherished, crushed strawberry rhubarb and a handful of others. If you or anyone else has any suggestions from Candle Cocoon, I would love to hear! Thanks so much! 😇

I just placed an order with Studio Fragrance and I have to say I’m liking what I have tested so far. The Peach Gelato is AMAZING! It’s so creamy and not like any Peach FO I’ve tried. I also am loving their Sandalwood & Blue Sage! Stellar to say the least! Will report as I test more. But so far so good…. HTH!

I don’t know if living close is such a good thing anymore. LOL. And with all these companies and not really being disciplined in who I purchase from, I spend sooo… much on FO’s anymore. I never imagined I’d have as many FO’s as I do. Thank you for sharing your Millcreek favs. I just placed an order with FB and now I have to place my order with FC and RE. The list never ends. LOL. I do want to try an actual order from MC though. Their cozy home and grandmas kitchen are both stellar. Thanks again Gail! 😇🙏🏼

Thank you for the heads up and for taking the time to post this sale @franu61! Truly appreciated! 😇🙏🏼

@LilFirecracker I’m honestly not a big blueberry fan myself. I do have several BB FO’s including the BB Cobbler from LS but just don’t pour them much. Out of the few BB FO’s I have I think I like Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream from JS & Blueberry Muffins from BC. HTH!

@LilFirecracker I have around 40 or so FO’s from them. All have been either good or great except maybe 1-2. I do have a few favs that seem to throw great in my wax. This isn’t all, but here are at least 10… Pumpkin Seeds & Oud Drunken Pumpkin Fall Festival French Market Inner Peace (SUPER STRONG) Leather (very accurate & strong) also makes a great mixer Vanilla Cotton Creme Brulee Verbena Bamboo Dickens Christmas (outstanding) HTH!

Missed the sale, but that’s very kind of you to share here!

I’ve not tried Midwest yet. What have you got from them that is really good or shall I say some of the strongest ones? Doesn’t Daisy’s daughter own it? Ohhh… I’m excited that you are doing a show next week! Please do take some pics to share! 🥰.

Yah Kat used to say all the time how the Patch from LS smells almost exactly to the EO. @LilFirecrackerYes a few of my friends are really picky with their patchouli FO and they rave of the Patchouli from Fillmore and Lonestar. What else have you loved from LS? 😇

Oh no worries. I just wanted to make sure of what one it was. Yea I have always loved CS, as they are one of the first online suppliers I purchased from years ago. But many of the clean scents just don’t have the strength that I personally like for my wax! Sad because I do really like the company as a whole. 🥺 I've heard the Pink Sugar from TCS is amazing so I’m wanting to place a small order with them ASAP. I’ve tried several pink sugar FO’s but looking for the best! 🥰 How about ICS and FB? Any suggestions from them? Oh! I for one absolutely lovvveee NG! They are about 12-15 minutes down the road from me and I have loads of their FO’s. Some of the best I have! Oh also what is VS? I’m not a Soaper though I would love to try and make some CP soap for my family. 😇

@Candybee I can’t confirm this 100%, but I heard Lonestar has one of the best patchouli fragrance oils. I was told it smells the closest to the EO of any patch FO anywhere. And not crazy priced! Oh and also Fillmore…. Anyways, HTP!

Hi @Candybee and thank you for responding. I still order FO’s like I always have, I just haven’t been on the forum like I used to be. I have not ever ordered directly from Millcreek or The Candle Source. I have heard such great things about Pink Sugar from TCS. So for that reason I wanted to give them a shot with a small $100 order or something. When you say you are steering away from CS do you mean The Candle Source or Candle Science. Candle Science is another company that I used to love, but many aren’t even close to their older ones such as their Amber Noir! UGH! What ones did you used to use and love from the candle source? How about any that you used to like from Millcreek? I’ve searched here on the forum so I have a good idea of some oldies that worked for soy. I just hope I don’t order and they are duds. 🤯. I absolutely love FB, JS and Fillmore just haven’t yet used Elements or Keystone. But again, I thank you so much for your help. 😇

Have any of you that have tried Fresh Baked Bread also tried the Butter Buns? If so, which of the 2 do you prefer? TIA!

Thank you@Belinda for your help/suggestions. Chestnuts & BS and Vicks are 2 FO’s from them in my cart. I’ve only tried Tis the Season from FB, do you think it’s similar or better than FB? I am just looking to add some new stuff for anytime of year bit also for Winter. I need more FO’s like I need a hole in the head but getting new ones is sooo… fun! 🥰. I know you of all people understand that…. I think we are cut from the same cloth! 😂😂😂. But truly thanks so much again Belinda! 😇

Thank you for responding @lightmyfireIt seems like CS has been really light with responses lately. 🥺 in any event, I will surely add it back onto my order. Any suggestions for Millcreek or The Candle Source by chance? Thanks again!

Does anyone else smell a slight Marijuana odor in the Charcoal Tonka? I was going to order it and someone told me it smelled a little like Marijuana, so I took it off my order. TIA! 😇

Hello to all of the ladies and gents of Craftserver! It’s been quite a while since I have made a post here. I’m getting ready to make a few small fragrance oil orders and would like to give some oldie but goodie FO suppliers a try. I have heard lots of great things about Millcreek and The Candle Source, both of which I have never directly placed an order from. I am coming to you to ask for your suggestions on some of your FAVS or good throwers from the 2 suppliers. I’m also in need of more Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, so if you like PPW from any supplier in particular please do share. I hope you all are doing fabulous and appreciate any input that you may have. God Bless! 😇🙏🏼

Hi Dana! Sorry for the delay in my reply. Yes I would agree that Peaks is in fact more of a mentholated peppermint and not vanilla but I do detect a hair of sweetness in it though still. In any event, I have a few other peppermint FO’s. What other peppermint FO’s have you tried? I smelled the NG next to Peak and it is nearly the same but Peaks is a bit stronger OOB. Have you tried NG Peppermint? Sent you a PM.

Dana, what peppermint FO’s have you tried? I only happen to have a little less then a pound left of peaks purely peppermint… 🥶. If you can tell us what ones you have tried thus far and if you are looking for a sweet kind of peppermint or a mentholated peppermint it would help us to help you. 😇.
