Oh, that would be marvelous! I'll pm you...I am so not a "colorist" or artist or whatever. I need guidance! lol!

Very possibly but I'm starting to feel they have changed suppliers on some of the regular fo's.  I used to get great results from all and the last order I was very disappointed in some of my regulars, True Lavender being one of them.  Now I'm afraid to order it again.  It would take me 50 years to use 25# of Starfruit & Mango, lol.

Very interesting! I use a few of theirs ... I hope they are not going to be different in the future!  They said that the Blackberry Cobbler and Starfruit & Mango were slow movers (they sold less than 25 lbs of each over at least two years!).

I'm pretty sad about Starfruit & Mango as well.  Great seller for me.  I have 8 oz I may just need to have it duped.

I had to call The Candle Source this morning about something and I asked about the Starfruit and Mango and Blackberry Cobbler. They said I could order 25 pounds of it...I asked if they could possibly tell me where they got them from and they said it wouldn't do me any good since the supplier has a 25 pound minimum. Understandably, they didn't want to say who the supplier was. I also got the impression that these two oils were from the same supplier.

I just placed my order...I called about the color chart and they said it is just the online page and that they have nothing to send to me! I said, "Don't you upload that to the website from a document that you could just print and send to me?"  They said no, just look at the website...two people told me that :(.  I'm still excited to get the dyes - I ordered all of them !

I understand if you don't want to say who this  supplier is, but I would love to know who it is!

Thank you, Belinda & Puma!  Sooo glad to know I can ask for that chart! hallelujia (or however you spell it !

Thank you so much, puma!! I will order tomorrow...I've had that color chart on my computer for a while. I just wish it was a downloadable document. I will ask them if they could do that. I think they will actually be less mess for me than using chips...chip pieces everywhere from trying to cut them up or just under my fingernails from scraping off bits since I often don't use a whole chip, even with Candle Cocoon's small dye crystals. I'm excited already! Thanks!

Hello!  I am tempted to buy the Cajun set of liquid dyes...any recommendations for liquid dye that will not alter the scent or the throw for melts? I usually go "pastel" so don't use a lot of dye anyway. I'm not thrilled with dye chips and have never used liquid so am not sure about liquid dye at all. TIA!!

Oh, let us know how it is when you test.....

"Pure Fragrance Rocky Mountain Pine" ...this actually does not exist!  I meant "Pure Fragrance Smoky Mountain Christmas Tree" !  And I actually just poured a test of this yesterday along with Rocky Mountain Christmas from EBB (this one seems a little stinky in my wax CT today). I will report back after I melt them

Thanks, everyone - I skipped ordering the FB Frasier Fir...

Hello, everyone!  Has anyone tried Fragrance Buddy's Frasier Fir??  I have not tried CS or WSP yet ...I do want to try those and FB but would like to know if anyone has tried FB yet. Such a good price! 

Thanks for the report!  They all sound right up my alley :).  I've been looking at the Beachwood Vetiver and Fiji Fig Lemon Peel for a while, just never got those samples. I will next time I order, though, thank you! I love RE. Some of my first oils were from there and I wasn't impressed. I'm glad I kept trying more because those first few were not representative! Their London Fog is tdf (soap and wax) if you like soft florals...and I do

Well that is too bad Daisy but at least we are on the same page.

Me, too...but I was lucky I didn't buy a pound!

I use FB Pumpkin Pecan Waffles...there have been several threads on here with people raving about it so I tried it. For me, it was stronger than Tennessee's. I've got a lot of it when FB had a sale so I hope my customers like it! Those are the only Pumpkin Pecan Waffles I've tried...

I really liked Tennessee's VBN... for my parasoy, I found WSP to be pretty good but the remelt was low and it turned a bit plastic. So, I am still searching for a goo VBN...

Thank you so much, Belinda!  I'll email her now...

That would be great, Belinda! I hope things are okay with her. Maybe she has a new text / phone number and email that are not on the website? She had a preorder that ended mid September that she confirmed with me by email . Now that email address does not seem to be working. 

I luckily still have over a pound  of lavender, however, I would LOVE to hear what you think of MS...I have never gotten anything from them, either! Fingers crossed!

Hi, I've been trying to reach Daystar for a couple of weeks. Has anyone been in touch with Stacy lately? I had a pre-order that I have questions about. No reply to several emails, text, and phone message. Anyone know anything?

... powdery or with that camphorus scent ?

 It is neither...it is pretty unique!

I hated The Candle Source True Lavender...I like some from Candle Making SUpplies but they did not last long enough...so many others were fine but not as good as Tennessee. I guess because it is not powdery or too sharp!

I have never tested candle science to know if they compare, but Bittercreek has  one that has a wonderful HT in my 415 soy

I love this one (parasoy)!

Any advice for a Pina Colada that is like Tennessee's?  Cajun and Candlewic don't work for me.

And I have to keep asking if anyone found a substitute for their True Lavender. I have tried so so many lavenders and none are the same...and so many are not good. TIA!

I got super strong hot throw after a few days curein parasoy melts, however after curing for 4 weeks, the ht was a lot lower. That doesn't happen with many scents. I love it but can't use it...

Sort of off topic...I tested AFI Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts BBW type and it smelled like burnt parchment paper...
