Um... So... 

I got some FO's. (UGHHHH! YES! Some MORE FO'S...) Does um... Anyone actually have a "problem" with FO collecting? I mean... It's like not in the DSM-5 or anything is it? I mean at like what point does one have "too many" FO's? (too many FO'S LOL! That just looks SO FUNNY all typed out!) There's no support groups right? I quit any time I want! Dammit! 


dammit...

It is a PROBLEM, but it's totally NOT your fault.  It's the suppliers fault really.  You see, just last night I needed a gardenia FO to fill an order.  But instead of just buying gardenia, I HAD to buy others because it just doesn't make sound business sense to pay $16 shipping for just one bottle of FO.  So I bought 5.  Or was it 6?  I don't even know now.....LOL. 

 

I have long ago passed the point of owning "too many" FO's.  I store them in a pie safe in my pantry.  And on top of the pie safe and under the pie safe and on the rack beside the pie safe and in plastic shoe boxes and there's also a cabinet..... 

I am considering getting rid of some FOOD to make room for them.  Priorities, ya know.

Ha.  I went back and looked at my order from last night.  I ordered 7 FO's.  I only needed gardenia.

In my defense, I only bought 8oz'ers, because who can test with just 1 oz?  Not me.  And shipping for one was basically the same cost as shipping 7, and only a complete fool would order just one or two or three.  And at that point, might as well go for the $100 and get the $10 off. 

So still.......totally Peak's fault.

Oh I just love coming to this forum to find other people who are just like me. :)  Who else can understand my uncontrollable urge to buy more fragrance oils to try to fit into my overflowing cabinet?

 

I am about to run out of a few FO's, so I need to order more, but I already know what all those smell like, so what's the fun of that?  I simply must order something new to try.

 

Then there's that customer who wants a scent that I don't have, which seems impossible but gives me another excuse to buy more oils. because as bfroberts said, I won't pay $16 or so shipping for just one bottle.  

 

But it's like my craving for sweets, if there is a cure, I don't want to know. I love my desserts and I love buying fragrance oils.  So there!

That's how many you just got, or how many you have? 

Either way, that's really nothing. I don't see you having a problem yet. 10x that, and then you might catch up to some of us. :)


That's everything I have in my collection... o.O 

10x that? 
Ok! Whew! So I'm NOT a Ho, I'm really just some little kid giggling over someone's underwear poking up out of their britches. I am actually relieved to find this out...

Yeah, that's only 124 scents, most are only 1ozer's, and a lot of those are repeat scents.

I have MUCH more than that, and still feel I don't have as much as some people I know. LOL 

It's a fun addiction though. And when you start mixing, you can easily double or triple your inventory (which I've done, so yeah, I have about 10x that much, or more! :) )

Hey @Sponiebr, how's that Sparkling Pomelo?  I've been itching to try that one.

Tart-ish... Smells pretty much like slightly green pommelo with a little bit of floral linger... PM me your mailing address and I'll drop a sniffie off to you.

If that list is what you ordered, you need help!  Why the heck would you order 1 oz'ers.  I always go for 4 oz or more.  If that's your entire collection, I need serious help.  And to think I just gave away about 12 # of various scents that I don't use.

Why the 1 ouncers?  One company + 2 words. Candle Science Sample Sale.... 2 ounces is enough for a big batch and 1 ounce is enough for a med batch... I think of the little 1 ounce FO samples like those little bottles of booze, just the right size to stash and go have a little fun with but not enough to actually do any real damage with... ;)

I thought you were Irish? How is that just the right size of booze?? LOL j/k

Maybe it's because I'm Irish/German 50/50 and that's why it's not enough for me... HAHA

Thank you for the kind offer, but I just this morning placed a CS order and chose that one as my free sample..  I had to order some jars, and a bottle or two of FO just jumped into my cart while I wasn't looking.  I'm sure that's happened to everyone here.

oh! I SO FEEL YA! They're SNEAKY little buggers! I'm finding little sample bottles of FO in places I didn't know I had places much less that I had FO'S in the those places... 
I think you'll like that Pommello it's a nice clean light citrusy strong and tangy with a smidge of bitter and the lightness of Yuzu...

haha Ahh, there you go. I knew I had an Irish spirit in here with me somewhere!! :) 

No... I'm very thoughly Irish it's just that the Irishman (the whole Celt of me actually) is about 99% repressed at this point. Trust me when I say it's not a bad thing at this time. :)

This is not all of it I have a few Rubbermaid containers full. The cabinet is deep I had to buy a stainless steel cabinet to hold the weight of the fragrances.

actually the cabinet is a Sears Tool cabinet that has a lock on it.
