I really like the Lavender Chamomile from Candle Source.  It smells just like  the Johnson and Johnson bedtime bath products.  I also love Bulk Apothecary's version too...smells more like an essential oil blend.  Candle source is definitely more cost effective.

I never bought from Daystar. Is it worth the high prices? Some aren't but some are. 

@ShelleyF, I agree with Lorelei completely.  Stacy's oils are worth every penny.  Some of my favorite oils are from Daystar.

I really like Black Ice from Aztec.  I've never ordered it from Texas Candle Supply so I can't offer a comparison, sorry.

I've used Natures Garden Black Licorice and it smells just like the candy.  Oh and while there, definitely check out their iced tea, it's absolutely lovely.

Have you ever used NG's Mrs Claus Cookies or WSP Vanilla Bean Noel? I'm just curious as to how they compare. I may have to get Stacy to bring me some of her Vanilla Bean Cookies. It won't go to waste that's for sure! I make body spray out of VBN and MCC and I love it!

Personally, I found NG's Mrs. Clause cookies a little in the throw department but WSP Vanilla Bean Noel smelled just like Daystar's; nice and strong.  You can't go wrong with WSP or Daystar.

I have done that mixture before but I found that it didn't help boost the throw.   Now, I have added more paraffin to the Pillar of Bliss and it did seem like the throw was a tad stronger but the cost of ordering from two separate suppliers was not in the cards for a small difference in throw.

Good luck to you!

@Belinda Daystar's Vanilla Bean Cookies is outstanding.  The only one I use.  Super typical of her oils...nice and strong.

I use Pink Sugar from Indiana Candle Supply.  It's a keeper in my book and well priced however I use it only in wax but it's good.  :0

Add another one to the list.  The more the merrier!

Hi,

 

I am looking for some fragrance oil suggestions. I am blending a soy/coconut/paraffin wax. Does anyone have a favorite fragrance for any of these scents:

• Citrus/orange
• lavender
• gardenia
• peach
• basil
• amber
• jasmine
• milk and honey

Any other favorite scents anyone wants to share would be insightful as well!

 

Thanks in advanced,

 

Kayla

Citrus/orange - Genwax Juicy Bits of Orange, AH Fresh Squeezed Oranges, NG Fresh Squeezed Oranges, Sweet Cakes Mandarin Orange

Lavender - Tennessee Candle Supply (sorry I know they're out of business); I'm hording my last bit

Gardenia - Candle Science

Peach - Aztec Just Peachy, Aztec Georgia Peach, NG Fresh Peach

Basil - Bittercreek Basil Sage Mint, Bittercreek Basil and Cucumber

Amber - AH Sweet Amber Musk

Completely forgot how much I like AH Coffee House.

ICS Coffee Bean  - Super strong (lighten up on this one)

ICS Cafe Cubano 

Aztec Brazilian Coffee and Pure Cane

Now I have samples of these but haven't used them as of yet:

JS Fresh Roasted

JS Starbucks Roasted Coffee

I use the 3 oz disposable Dixie cups to measure oils.  I buy them in bulk from Costco or you can find them at Walmart, Target, etc.

Hey Sunday!  I really like JS Wood Sage and Sea Salt and Earl Gray and Cucumber.  Both are fresh type scents that sell really well.

I like Apple Ale from Candlewic.

Hey GailC - WSP has Waterlily and Bluebell and JS has Wild Bluebell (Jo Malone dupe).  The scent sounds intriguing.  

Willow Woods had some amazing oils.  I was bummed when they closed up shop years ago.

I love laundry scents!  I make room sprays with them and when I need a quick "I just cleaned smell" I spray them around....do not tell my family.

I really like:

NG Island Fresh

NG Mountain Fresh

ICS April Fresh

RE Flannel Sheets

NG Clean Breeze

ICS Fresh Laundry

JS Citrus Linen

NG Vanilla Lavender

BA Tide

I'm sorry for your loss.  I would give Aroma Haven's Kickin' Caramel a try or Candle Cocoon's Ooey Gooey Caramel Goodness.  Either will give you that straight caramel scent like the Werther candies.  

@GailC I'm so jealous!! Would you like to come over and help me organize mine?!?  Pretty please!

Like Belinda, I really like JS Coffee Ice Cream.  Here are some others you might consider: 

ICS Orange Vanilla Coffee

AH Butter Rum Cappuccino

ICS Cinnamon Dolce Latte

ICS Cafe Vienna

AH Coffee House (I like to add all kinds of sweet and bakery type scents to this one - super easy to work with)

Backwoods Gingerbread Latte

Get yourself some Juicy Bits of Orange from GenWax, it's amazing.  I also second Fresh Squeezed Oranges from AromaHaven.

@RoxWix Definitely check out the fragrance forum but since we’re here....

aroma haven/rustic escentials

The only two places I know that carry a single note papaya fragrance is Bulk Apothecary and Wellington.  I've not used this oil but I like the quality of Bulk Apothecary and use quite a bit of their oils.

All the scents you named sound great .Dang I cannot resist checking out this company now lol. Is the Bahama breeze in any way similar to the Hawaiian breeze that Febreze puts out ? Iced raspberry sounds sooooo good ,love the name as well .I am going to this site today and definitely order some samples .Such great summer scents 😀Thank you bunches!!!!

@katmeltswax Never smelled Febreeze Hawaiian breeze so I can't tell you.  I've only ever used Hawaiian Breeze Glade type.  If looking for some other great summer scents definitely check out ICS Raspberry Lemonade, BCN Tomato Leaf, BCN Basil and Cucumber, an BCN Basil Sage Mint.  All of them are winners!

Where is Gen Wax located ? I have never heard of this Co.How would you rate their oils ,sounds good .Bits of orange  .Do you recommend more ? I love looking at different co oils and price and quality comparison .Thanks so much in advance .

GenWax is located in California, Los Angeles/Hollywood, I think.  I really like their oils a lot. I don't order from them much because of shipping.  I've never had a problem with their oils not throwing.  Great true scents.  Other ones I like are:

Caribbean Getaway

Bahama Breeze

Iced Raspberry

Orange Vanilla

Aloe and Water Lily

Litsea Cubeba

Ones I have but have not put in wax include:  Rich Chocolate, Sweet coffee, lychee, sun and sand and strawberry fields
