Scented Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 8 hours ago, GailC said: The Candlemaker's store has lots of 1 ounce samples to sniff. 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. What about wax, because they are the cheapest according to what we use, but we'd like to pick up. Do you know? Go figure on the FOs lol, which actually is fine because we don't order from them as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheer Seduction might be worth a sniff too. Cognac and Cubans is really smooth for a man's scent. Shouldn't be passed up. Would agree on Christmas Cabin. Narcissist but we're mixing it with a rose and a wisteria and a musk and calling it something else Pheromones (don't worry it won't make you horny, but it is a nice scent) Tahitian Amber ... (if you like warm and sultry ... just buy it.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had a scratch n sniff to smell your blend, sound really nice! I've started to buy Pheromones many times, lol..

Go figure on the FOs lol, which actually is fine because we don't order from them as it is. I order my wax and jars ahead of time and choose local pick up. They may sell jars at the store also, because I saw cases of them. But I think you have to order the wax and then pick up. Saves oh so much in shipping charges! I go there when I can: it's a little over 2 hours away from me. My last wax was from Candlewic though. I was so surprised that a 50 pound case of wax only added about $14 shipping to what I already had in my cart. Nature's Garden GW444 is $10 more a case than I usually pay, but still of course it will be cheaper with no shipping charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I lived close to you as I'd be happy to drive us over there. The closest suppliers to me (Community Candle in AL and Cajun Candles in LA; I'm smack in the middle between them) are both 3 hours away, and none of my friends are into scent crafts like us on this forum. And neither of those places carries the waxes I like; if they did that would make the trip worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail knows she will anyway. All these bottles will be before her. She'll reach for one, see another and then wonder what it smells like.

Darbla Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 OK, serious question: how can she keep from getting olfactory fatigue after a bunch of sniffing? Or getting nauseated from the overload? She's going to be like an addict let loose and that might get painful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know if I can smell 800 fragrances! Well, 760 because I have/had 40 of NG's already I don't care how much I smell coffee beans in between sniffing. If we manage to leave my granddaughter's house by 9:30, it's a 4 1/2 hour drive, plus we'll have to stop to eat. So I may not have more than about an hour and a half to sniff before they close at 4:30! I have to be organized!!!! I was just checking to see if anyone else wanted me to smell a certain one before I print my list. I told my granddaughter that my #1 best thing about the weekend will be spending time with her and my great granddaughter. She was surprised they weren't second to smelling fragrance oils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they had coffee beans in their perfume department though, but I've been in some perfume stores that had them. It really helps clear your nose from the previous scents. I went to Lone Star's showroom once and I think they had coffee beans there if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago, going to a Party Lite party and that was when I found out about sniffing coffee. My grandson was little then and he loved smelling everything. Little did he know at the time that someday he would get to sniff lots of scents and get all the free candles he wanted from his grandma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
