Sponiebr Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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... o.O Dammit... halp. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I really don't know of any groups for fo ho's.... So which ones did you get? That's ok Sponey, you can tell us....we won't think of anything about it at all....so just tell us ALL the ones you got....lol Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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.

Barbara AL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sponiebr you don't have a problem I have a problem of 10 years of binge buying and hoarding. I need to make a picture of my cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
