GailC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I am compiling a list because there's no way I can sniff 800 fragrances. So far I have 105. I already have or have had 40 of NG's fragrance oils, and there are only two I can't stand, Sandalwood and Guardian Angel. Make that 3; even though the majority of people who have smelled Fresh Brewed Coffee really like it, I still think it stinks. If there is a fragrance you want me to smell for you I will, but you know everyone's opinions of FO's are subjective. I can't describe scents very well, but I can tell you if it smells good or bad or so-so to me and if it smells strong OOB. I'm so excited! Unlike The Candlemaker's Store, I can actually buy some fragrances I like. Not just write them down to order later. My granddaughter and great granddaughter are going with me and we have a whole fun weekend planned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy my granddaughter is going with me and my 2 1/2 year old great granddaughter. I'm going to meet some friends in Mansfield Ohio, and when I realized that NG is just about 45 minutes from there, Well, I have no choice but to go. I don't really like driving long distances by myself. I live in central Indiana. Sunday we're taking a ferry to Put-in-bay at Lake Michigan. (which I had never heard of...my granddaughter added to our intinerary. ) I take care of my adult handicapped daughter at home, so a two night vacation is all I can manage. But that's good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Oh you lucky thing! I am curious about peppered poppies, always looking for something different. Speaking of different I LOVE absinthe..you should check that one out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Absinthe, I make it a rule of thumb not to buy FO's I can't pronounce. But OK, I will google the word, and sniff it too. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like licorice. But I will smell it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belinda Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 How wonderful for you Gail! Have fun! I'm curious about their cinnamon doughnuts if you get a chance to smell that one. I wonder if it's the same as the cinnamon sugared doughnuts from FB which I love! Hope you have a great time! Safe travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe travels. Thanks Belinda! I haven't smelled the cinnamon sugared doughnuts from FB so I won't be able to compare. I will sniff NG cinnamon doughnuts though. I love anything cinnamon. I'm anxious to put Candlewic's Apple Cider Doughnuts in wax for fall. Yum! I love the smell of that one OOB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have almost finalized my list of fragrances to sniff at Nature's Garden. So far I have 120! Our of the 800 some they have. Hope I am up to smelling that many! I have an alphabetized list and I'm going to check the ones I like and cross off the ones I don't for future reference. Don't know how many I will actually wind up buying. Maybe I can limit myself to 10 or 15. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Omg, geezum crown Gail!!!! You've got 120 scents and you would like to narrow down to 15???Well, all I can say is...... GOOD LUCK TO YA! LOL, LOL Can I give you a list of things for me???just kidding... Oh yeah......I am jealous too! Trappeur You have me thinking.....I'm about 1 hour 15 minutes away from Flaming...I should make a trip to them myself but I don't know if my truck is dependable enough to go through Atlanta and I'm a basket case driving through a big town so that is why I don't go, as I drive like Grandma... But it would be worth it for me to get there and do a lot of sniffing myself.....hmmm Edited July 19, 2017 by Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivInTX Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have purchased quite a few from NG for making bath and body items for my kids. They LOVE their Fruit Loops, Honeydew and Red Velvet Cake. I'm curious if they have a "true" honey scent. Not a honeysuckle scented one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be worth it for me to get there and do a lot of sniffing myself.....hmmm If you could see my cabinet, you would know that I don't even 'need' 15 more bottles. But NG has so many intriguing sounding names and descriptions. I have learned the hard way you can't go by names....Guardian Angel for one. I will have a list of fragrances to order in the future, hence just getting about 15 right now. NG's shipping is very reasonable for me...usually around $10. But who knows, I may come home with way more than 15. I wouldn't want to drive through Atlanta either, but maybe there's another way on state highways or something. It would take you longer but not be as nerve racking. I am so excited to go and smell FO's to my heart's content. Or maybe you could get a friend to take you...stopping for lunch on the way of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that they do have a Honey and a Honeycomb and a Honey Vanilla and more. I have Honey Bunny on my list but I will add plain Honey and see if I think it smells like honey....that makes 121.

TallTayl Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Honey bunny is like lush' honey I washed the kids. It is slightly powdery, not honey. Nice smelling, and different from oatmeal milk and honey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only fragrances you can buy there are the 'specials.' A limited selection of reduced price FO's. So if I found a fragrance I liked I would have to order it online. They do have some dyes, wicks, etc, you can buy at their 'store'. Which is just an area in the warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
