Filmore Order I just Placed


Trappeur

Recommended Posts

I had to order some more balsam fir (Christmas Tree) from Filmore so while I was there and to get more at the same price in shipping I ordered the following:

 

Pumpkin Spice Chutney

Cocoa Therapy

Cedar Garland

Bayberry Cinnamon

 

Were these good oils to order as I have never tried these.  I know Candybee loves the Coco and Cedar Garland.  But what about the rest?  Did I make good choices?  I was especially interested in the bayberry cinnaman and some bayberries can be awful, so has anyone used this oil?

 

Thanks.

I have poured all of these. Cocoa therapy is now my standard chocolate as it is amazing. Cedar Garland is my new favorite winter scent and I have already sold a ton. The Pumpkin Spice Chutney is good and I have sold a ton of it at markets. I am on the fence about the Bayberry and Cinnamon but it is growing on me. I love all of Fillmores scents.

Oh my gosh Trappeur!! Pumpkin Spice Chutney is back in?? :):thumbsup2:  I had been waiting for them to get that back in stock before I ordered supplies. I have never ordered fragrances from them before but have ordered and  LOVE their jars and their awesome lids.  :)  When I order the list will be Pumpkin Spice Chutney, Christmas Tree, Cocoa Therapy, Cedar Garland, Nutmeg & Ginger and samples of Daffodil, Fresh Cut Grass and a couple of others. PLEASE do an oo bottle review when you get....I am going to live through your order until I can get mine! :)  From the reviews from the folks on here, I think you are going to be very pleased. :)

I'm not a bayberry fan myself as I don't really care for it, but for the holidays I have always thought it would be a nice scent to have on hand.  Bayberry is too sharp for me but the thought of adding something to it like cinnamon is something that I might rather like!

Yes Puma, when I was on the phone with Filmore this afternoon, the Chutney just came in and would be available tomorrow so I took a chance and ordered it because of all the great reviews I've been seeing about it.  I sure will let you know what I think it smells like out of the bottle. :)  It's funny but everything you had on your list is exactly what I had on mine and then at the last minute took off the Nutmeg and Ginger and Daffodil because I was trying to save money so I could get a few more scents that I have to have from Candle Science that I have to reorder.

I know what you mean, I kept putting fragrances in and then taking out, then putting samples in , then taking out....it can make a Chandler crazy! :unsure:  Can't wait to hear your review Trappeur! When I went to order last night they had not "flipped" the out of order to in stock yet on the Pumpkin Spice Chutney. I imagine that will happen today. I will be ordering from them within the day. :) I am excited to try them out on their fragrances. :) If I am remembering correctly, all of those scents are skin friendly. I am planning on making foaming hand soap/lotion/hand sanitizer etc for the holidays .....I AM going to give Bath & Body Works a run for their money this year... hee hee. :)

Trappeur I have used all those oils in my candlemaking. I love all of them except the Bayberry Cinnamon. To me it has a slight medicinal note not to my liking but its a good seller. My personal favorite bayberry is Bayberry Apple Spice from C&S.

I'll take your word for that Candybee!   You always have the best combinations and suggestions...and yes I remembered  you saying in another post about the Bayberry Apple Spice from C&S.  So I'm going to order....But, geezum crow, what else can I get besides that as I never order from them?

Ok...I just ordered my first scents from Fillmore along with some jars/lids that I love from them. I got OF COURSE ......Christmas Tree, Cedar Garland, Nutmeg Ginger, Cocoa Therapy, Pumpkin Spice Chutney, Creamy Chai Latte  and samples of Fresh Cut Grass and Daffodil which I have also read raves about. If anyone is looking for an adorable jar for Fall/Christmas, Fillmores Thumbprint jars are just wonderful. I put a 2.5" label on the top and a 4x2 kraft label on the front of the jar and the warning label on the bottom. These were great sellers for me last year and I ordered more tonight along with the handled mug jar (Think I will make some coffee candles with these). :)  The thumbprint jars make awesome layered jars or whipped wax/embed jars or just a nice pretty jar with one scent. Just a thought if someone is looking to add something new to their line this season. :) Ohhhhhhh......now we wait for delivery !!   :yay:

I don't order a lot of FOs from C&S but the ones I do order every holiday season are:

 

Bayberry Apple Spice

Christmas Splendor

 

Others I love are:

 

Witches Brew

Drakkar

Orange (the best straight orange I have found as a mixer)

Vanilla Pods

 

Can't think of any others at the moment. All of these work great in parasoy and palm candles. The witches brew I use in CP. It discolors to a medium brown but holds its scent very nice and strong.

 

I have to add that C&S is like any other collection of FOs as they are hit or miss. The ones I mentioned are hits and so good I keep using them year after year.

 

Also, they have a harvest spice that is their number #1 seller. I keep trying to get it but it is normally sold out every time I happen to look for it. I am guessing that it must be good but my thoughts are if its always going to be OOS why bother? KWIM?

Thinking I might just intercept Puma's package and open it so I too can have the pleasure of sniffing all those new FOs..... :icon_tiptoe:

Christmas tree was so worth ordering- I LOVE it!

I never ordered from Fillmore before thinking they were mainly a container supplier and their FOs probably not being that great- boy was I wrong!

Nutmeg ginger- cedar garland- cocoa therapy and apple blossom are amazing OOB- I haven't been able to get them in wax yet my son came home from college and got his wisdom teeth out yesterday....so maybe later this week I can get to it

Are you ready for some more winners from Fillmore? I know Old Glory is! Tehehehee!

 

Tuberose and Jasmine - this is an incredible floral, crazy good in candles and CP soap

 

Iced Lemon Biscotti - this is so good you want to drink it. Excellent in candles, very strong, very lemony.

 

Butterscotch Brulee - another one that smells so good you want to drink it. Great in candles but especially good in soy.
