Sunday Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Wonder if anyone has heard of a supplier called... ROYAL, WILLOWOODS, CANDLES & SUPPLIES , CHEMESSENCE , CANDLE PRO or INTERNATIONAL FRAGRANCE & TECHNOLOGY?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Of the names I recognize, I would refer to them as long-standing suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebleo Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Candle Pro is Natures Garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 C&S has been around about 19 to 20 years. Chemessence has been around about 34 years. International Fragrance & Technology was founded in 2003. Candle Pro ... you'll have to reference this company? Is it the ones that sell the plate tops for candles? Likely that was a mid-ish 2000 start up. Royal if you are referring to Royal Aroma started in 2006 but really started pushing itself possibly with a lot of blogging in 2013 ... I think blogging was probably the in thing then. Not familiar with Willowoods. Not really that familiar with a few of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh always a wealth of information OK so let see if I can test you even further...Did they changed their name to Natures garden in 1997 or did they start as candle-pro in 1997 and if so what year did they become natures garden...I can always contact the company but this is more fun Has anyone ordered from Chemessence ....how are their fragrances? Found some info on Royal Aroma but it looks like they custom fragrances for customers The reason I'm asking all these questions is that I got a huge load of fragrances and some appear to be quite old...not sure how they will do in wax...not even sure how long fragrances last?

Sebleo Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would have to say they started as Candle Pro in 97 and changed the name later. I got into making candles in roughly 2007 and the website was Nature Garden but the oils came marked candle pro. It was confusing. Up until a year ago or so you could type in candlepro.com and it would still take you to nature garden but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sebleo, Thats Great...interesting that they continued using candle pro packaging ...I really would never have figured it out! I got over 275 lbs of fragrance oils from a chandler closing shop so if they're still viable it will be a treat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the bottles themselves are printed with nature garden, but, the label they print to note the fragrance has candlepro. So, your oils may not be old at all.

I was worried that I may have to repackage the oils into new bottles ( I was more concerned about the age of the plastic containers than the oils...I don't want any big leaks) Now what do I do with 20lbs of licorice scent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I started making candles in 1997 and NG was one of my first suppliers, and I've always known them as NG and I've never received bottles of FO with Candle Pro on them. (at least I don't remember them ever coming that way, but honestly, I think I would remember that? Who knows these days what I can/cannot remember! LOL) This is interesting.

Smell them. If the don't smell off, they are still good to use. I have some oils that I KNOW are at least 10 years old that still smell the same as the day I bought them. However, I have had others that have gone off in less than a year. Trust me, your nose will tell you if they are no longer any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a very good nose but I will definitely give them a good sniff ....I was going to purchase some amber plastic bottles and repackage some of them...not sure how long a plastic bottles with fragrance in them would last.?

I keep mine in the bottles they come in. I know some change them to the glass amber bottles, but I don't start worrying about changing out the bottles or using up the scent until the bottles start sucking in on themselves. Once they do that, to me that's an indicator that the plastic is breaking down and needs to be changed/used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottles are printed with nature garden on them, but check the sticker where they list the name of the fragrance oil. It has candlepro.com on it. (That used to redirect you to NG website, but not anymore) Edit...for the record...I have no clue if they were ever called candle pro. I have only seen it on the labels.

Sunday Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 That was my concern a number of the bottles are quite misshapen ...shipping on glass bottles is too expensive so I thought I would order some plastic amber bullet or Boston round bottles. There are also some fragrances in big metal drums that I thought might be better to be out of there......I need a wack of bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soshiegirl Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Willow Woods had some amazing oils. I was bummed when they closed up shop years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I was devastated when Old Mill, Tradewinds, Flicker, and Moonworks all closed down! Interestingly thou, Old Mill's FOs went to Tony's, then Southern Scents, then Pure Fragrance Oils with something else inbetween. But PFO only carries a scant few of the original oils. Fortunately, Flickers went to EBB and many of my favs are still there. Moonworks oils are all over the place as many where duped because they were so popular. Its good thou that many are still available if you know where to find them. Tradewinds just finally went poof! after a couple years of its owner trying to stay in the biz. He just couldn't do it though because of his cancer. It was very sad. TW had some of the very best FOs I have ever used and its a shame he didn't sell the oils to another company. They are still open but only sell select shades color for soap now. And don't know what happened to the original owner but its been taken over by someone else.

Willowwoods was located in western PA. A small but amazing business and customer service. What was sadder was the owner had MS and she just couldn’t run her business anymore. I was hoping she would sell her formulas to another supplier but I guess that never happened. She had the best oils...amazing dupes too. I was never dissapointed with any of them. Another thing she did was charge the EXACT cost of shipping. I truly miss that company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sorry Sunday! I have a bunch of oils from NG, BCN and C&S, but none of the ones you listed. Sounds like a great haul though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 2 hours ago, Sunday said: fresh linen - natures garden Let me preface by saying I only have ever used paraffin, I don't work with soy. Fresh linen is SUPER strong in my candles, so much so, I have to drop down to only using 1.5-2% per pound in my wax, and even that can get overwhelming. 2 hours ago, Sunday said: melon mist - natures garden Could not get this to throw in my wax no matter what I tried, but is an awesome scent in CP soap. 2 hours ago, Sunday said: Tropical blast - natures garden Used to be one of my best sellers in candles, but I got so sick of it, that I quit pouring it about 4 years ago. I still have 1.5lbs of it, that I really should just put in wax and soap. I've never tried any of the others on your list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks JC and Sara S, it helps knowing even a little bit about the scents....perhaps I will have to learn how to make CP soap Sounds like a great haul though!! it was a great haul Sara and I'm tickled pink thinking about all the fun I'm going to have...it was a bonus that came with two commercial melters...and I'm really excited to use it...and them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
