lovelyscents Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Have not heard much about this company for years regarding oils, mostly just about their tart wax. Thoughts or ones you just have to have? Any twins you can get from them vs other suppliers? Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxingPoetic Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I really love their oils, & they have great prices & they ship fast some of my my personal favorites are Pink Sugar, Love Spell ( both excellent dupes ! ) Coffee Caramel Cream & Fruit Loops. I know I have more faves but I am not caffeinated enough to remember them at the moment ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I ordered from them years ago because my granddaughter wanted Britney Spears Fantasy. I might order from them again if they would update their website. I don't like the scent descriptions being separate from where you order. I know...nit picky. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I agree, Gail! Their site is very outdated. I love their oils, but just going to their site gives me an eye twitch. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Has anyone tried The Candle Source's Fresh Strawberry? I really liked Tennessee Candles , and wondering if it is similar. I ordered NG's fresh strawberry and don't like it as well as Tennessee's. I wanted to try Flaming Candles sweet strawberry, but it isn't skin safe:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thank you all. I definitely agree about the website being a bit difficult especially needing to add your own shipping to your cart. I have not tried strawberry as of yet Shar. How quick is their shipping once you order? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It has been a few years since I ordered , but they shipped promptly. I used to soap Be Delicious, Butt Naked, Bed Time Bath,and Fantasy dupe. I haven't really tried many scents from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The website is NOT easy on they eyes but I do love their Juicy Sweet Cherry, Orange Creamsicle, and J&J Bedtime Bath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Fresh roses is very strong and true to name, also fruit loops, baked apple, Apple pie, zucchini bread are all good. I had a sweet dear friend of mine that sent me some of their tart wax and I have to say I'm impressed so far, only have tried stronger oils in it as of yet though. More testing by far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I actually have pineapple cake from ICS in TCS tart wax warming right now and it travelled to my bedroom and master bath which is all the way at the other end of the house! By the way, usually I don't seem to get a throw past my laundry room which is 3/4 of the house. Props to ICS for the quality oil and to TCS for an amazing wax! Cannot wait to keep testing more oils, will try and keep you updated. We need to keep TCS in business! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you say you like their orange creamsicle Soshie? This is a huge seller for me and I have been using FBuddy but I would like to persue further and find a great ultimate one. You've made recommendations to me in the past and they were great like that Vanilla Chardonnay so I'm going to order a small bottle of it. Have you tried other Orange Creamsicles and do you find this one to be the best? Thanks. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What state are they in ? The "new" Eco soya waxes are not out yet from what I can see anyhow, looks like sometime in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSP has a few different ones so I'll try those one of these days. I did try the one from Fillmore but it had that sharpness too. Im looking for something smoother, in my mind Orange Creamsicle has a sweeter smell to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG I just went on their web-site - it is VERY outdated. Theres not even a bar to type in what your looking for. The 2 companies that I find have the easiest site to navigate are WSP and Brambelberry . If I have to try too hard to find anything I just move on. Very annoying. Another thing that bugs me is The Candle Makers Store ... They don't even include any descriptions or at a minimum notes. So dumb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have emailed them with suggestions, but so far they haven't listened to me. They don't have a search option or an option to have an account. So I can't play around putting stuff in a cart and have it stay there until I make up my mind. They do have good scent descriptions though. But no reviews. I agree the The Candlemaker's store, with all its 1000 fragrances, would sell a lot more of those if they would include scent descriptions. In this day and age, I believe there is just no excuse to have a website as sloppy as The Candle Source. Turns me off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did message The Candle Makers Store about no descriptions and their answer was everyone has a different perception of smell. Really ???? No Kidding ! That even applies to FO's with descriptions - 2 people can smell something different. Turns me off too - Big Time ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ???? No Kidding ! That even applies to FO's with descriptions - 2 people can smell something different. Turns me off too - Big Time ! Exactly. I still don't know how something smells until I actually smell it, but I still like scent descriptions to know if it contains floral, fruit, vanilla, musk and on and on. When I put a new candle on my facebook page, it sure helps if customers have a clue at least what, say Monkey Farts, smells like. I made fresh brewed coffee candles with NG Fragrance oil, and I hate it. But some people says it smells JUST like coffee and they like/love it. Some people say it smells like burnt popcorn and they don't like it. I think that is the fragrance I get the most extreme opinions on. Or maybe it's pipe smoke. Ordered it special for one customer who wound up ordering only 4 melts! But she really liked it. My grandson smelled it the other night and I thought he was going to barf. He had a violently bad reaction when he smelled it. It was actually funny. But the customer who liked it thought it was a fragrance men would like....nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelyscents Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I admit the candle source website is a bit more difficult to order from, but their products are worth it. You can have a beautiful website with the easiest navigation in the world, but have horrible items. Just my opinion though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried all different kinds of dreamsicles, orange vanillas, etc. It smells just like the ice cream. It's more rich than just an orange vanilla scent. There's a creaminess to it.

When I asked the Candle Makers Store why they didn't have descriptions, I was told they felt the scent name was description enough; this was also a very long time ago. Alas, I do not purchase from them - I hope I'm not missing too many great scents . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
