try SweetCakes. Theirs is wonderful!

I do well with "spicy" lime= add clove, cinnamon, musk & sandalwood to lime. Sells great for me year round. Also "Woods" a mix of the woods, sandal, patchouli, cedarwood, rosewood, lemongrass to balance, bergamot for good top note.

Boleks, Camden-Grey & Snowdrifts farms are all very good.Essential oils.org & snowdrift are expensive, but carry many e.o's that are harder to find. Everything I have used from both Snowdrift & essential oils.org has been top notch!

I think they're weak too. "smells just like the original" is a very broad statement. I buy their nag champa & nothing else. I have ordered many, many oils from them, and 95% of them are sitting in a box named FUNKY SMELLING STUFF. It's a gamble w/ them. You may get lucky & get a scent that is ok, but then again, you may be starting a box named FUNKY! Shipping is very fast though, and the oils are packed well.

BOLEK's sells a gingerbread that smells so yummy. I have had many customers say it smells like sugar cookies. They also have an orange gingerbread...that's my favorite. I use it in soy body butter & sell out at every show. Bolek's has excellent prices too. No on line ordering, but just 1-800 phone it in.

I have both. The perfumers alcohol (P.A) from snowdrift is as pure as I have found. I like the one from chemistry store for colognes. The major difference is water; hence, the price difference. I make perfume & some of my oils are CRAZY expensive, so I use snowdrifts P.A. but with less expensice e.o.'s & f.o.'s chem stores brand is very good.

SOS (save on scents) has a nag that smells true. The extreme goes a long way.
