@bfroberts, I'm sorry I didn't check in this thread sooner, did you get your order? Their clove is very nice, didn't make me squeal with joy but a nice basic clove. I am totally going to order the one from Flaming that Hopie recommended. 

@katmeltswax, I recently ordered the strawberry jam, wheeeew its strong! I haven't put it in anything, I'm curious to hear what you think of it!

I am looking forward to Strawberry jam ,glad to hear it is strong .I will let you know my results asap. I hope this one likes my wax blend .

I never paid attention to timing.  Looking back through messages, I’ve seen them in March and December. 

 

get on their newsletter for sure. They’re usually flash sales. I keep a cart going and hit submit when the sale comes up. 

Great idea TT ,this way no risk of them running out of stock on a scent you want .This seems to happen during sales. I will put so many in my cart & go back in no time out of stock ,so frustrating . I will start randomly filling my cart now for next sale lol. I am so slow making decisions  anyways ,so this will be a good idea to start early for the next sale .Thank you kindly 😉

I wish I was as strong willed as some of you. Went in store and ended up with:

Gingham apple

Vanilla Birch

Honeysuckle Hollow

Honeyed Pineapple Pumpkin,

Graham Cracker Latte

Jelly Doughnut

Lilac in Bloom

Forever Red

Elderflower Blossoms & Quince 

Tuscan Cedarwood

Iced Tea Twist

I really wanted to pick up rice milk & cardamom but it was $11 for 2oz. Normally $14. Yikes. Smelled great though.

 

Love love Gingham Apple & Jelly Donut .Wow that's a high price tag for the rice milk cardamon. I bet a pound is OUTRAGEOUSLY High right lol

Let me know on the Ice tea ,sounds good .I use Flamings ,like alot .However I am still searching for another great tea & lemon scent . The Graham cracker latte sounds yummy too .Thanks in advance 😉

35% off sounds great. Is there a particular time of year this tends to happen or is it a surprise?

I have purchased in the past around Black Friday & New Year's with 35% off .Also at times WSP will do random flash sales .I think maybe even July 4th may have another sale .😉

same here. I took out all the FO, focusing on the clams I can only get from crafters choice. Seems a lot of FO are still in stock, so many people passed on the sale too... waiting for the nice 35% one that comes up once a year!

 

Willing to co-op some of the WSP 10 lb kegs. Most are reasonably priced at 10 and 25 lbs.

I love the 35% off super sale .I only purchased a few I was needing & a few new ones to test.

Well, look at what you saved.  Next time, right?

 

Well last night I lost power here because of the weather about 11:00.    Power still wasn't on till wee hours of the morning.  Needless to say I couldn't get my order into them.  I just sent them an email and told what happened and asked if I could put my order in now and if they could honor the 20% sale since I couldn't get on the internet and they wrote back and said nope! .......Such is my luck and life...I ran out of vbn and have 5 other 1 pounder oils in my cart that  was going to order...I guess that's the way the cookie crumble falls.......oh well.....

@Sarah S, I found a few reviews of their fragrance oil on Amazon.  I think I'm going to order the Pumpkin Caramel, Juniper & Aloe, and Birthday Cake.  I do need some more birthday cake at least.  And you can never have too many pumpkin scents, right?  

 

Home for the Holidays sounds good, but I'm afraid to get too many until I see what the quality is. On Amazon they describe their fragrances as being true and strong in soy wax.  So we shall see.

 

 

Gail ,I was wanting to know if you ever ordered EAP Birthday cake ? If so how do you like it ? Lol not sure if they still have this one or not , will take a look today .I may have waited to long for the clearance oils lol 

Thank you in advance 😉

@bfroberts, glad to hear you love,  love, love Tuscan Fields, since I just ordered it.

 

RE's prices are higher than Aztec, NG, and FB, but some are just worth the extra cost.

 

I don't think I've ever ordered from WSP, although I did buy a few of their FO's from a local lady who was destashing.  I am not adding another supplier.  I am not adding another supplier, repeat, repeat. 

 

Gail ,What does Tuscan Fields smell like ? I am wandering if it is a dupe of BBW Sundrenched Vineyard or Sonomo Grape ? Lol trying to avoid another supplier myself .It looks like I too will add Candle Cocoon due to Trapps great recommendation Vanilla VooDoo .Lol & more from this company .Gee this only gets worse & I know many Fourth of July sales are arriving soon . Decisions take so much will power kwim.

Oh dear. I just told myself that I didn’t need to buy anymore FOs for a few weeks probably. Ha.

I recommend: cinnamon & sage, fisherman (anise), desert lime & cucumber, baked bread, hello sugar, and incense & oud.

 

I think I’m going to pick up jelly donut, chocolate lavender, caramel woods, graham cracker latte...

Jelly Donut is Fantastic 😀

I emailed them today and asked if they had changed beads and told them what happened. I will also leave a bad review for sure!

They really should refund your money.I do not blame you for leaving a bad review .I would also leave one regarding Customer service as well .

40 minutes ago, Skk5233 said:

I havent Tried those. Yah it is a waste. That’s why i ordered 3 pounds to try from Cajun and was really happy. Then I placed An order for 25 pounds and they were different beads! Very disappointed and it is such a waste of money!! 

So the 3 pounds were good & the 25 turned out bad .I would demand a refund . That's awful & I think they should refund you fully . These companies need to care about Customer service a hek of a lot more than they do lately .I am Leary to purchase a large bag now for sure darn it .

I talked to someone who makes plastic pellets and according to them they are supposed to smell this way. My problem with Aztec is they aren’t holding scent. Literally lasting a day in a car! Cajun must have switched to the same beads because my last order from them did the same! I emailed Them today and asked if they have switched their beads. I have No idea what is going on but i have Been having heck! There is one lady in my area who is having wild success with her fresheners but she won’t tell anyone where she’s getting her beads. 

Have you tried the beads from Candles& Supplies ? I am thinking about purchasing some from them .It's a shame to order 10lbs & then have them fail ,waste of our $ .

I've used Aztec's, NG, BC, and .... RE? I think? I like NG's the best, BC second. I wasn't impressed with Aztec's. They do have a strong vinegar smell, but it goes away when you add the FO. But I've been having problems with the beads sticking to my cookie cutters, and it's only happened with Aztec's beads, so I'm sticking with NG's.

I spray my cutters with Pam non stick cooking spray before filling .This really works great & no sticking ,easy to remove the beads after cooled 😀

I made a couple batches of aroma ornies today, and to my dismay the ornies stuck to my cookie cutters and would not come off! I stuck them in the freezer, pried them with a screwdriver, and pulled with pliers - they were practically melded to the cutters!

I've made ornies in the past with no issues, and I used the same method I always do... Has this happened to anyone else? I'm inclined to think its this batch of beads, I got them from a new supplier, but before I go ordering a new batch from my old supplier, I thought I would see if the issue is me, lol.

This was so bad, I actually tore apart one of my cutters (and fingers) trying to get that darn ornie out! 😭😭

Have you tried spraying your cookie cutters with a little Pam or any non stick cooking spray ? This will keep the beads from sticking to the molds ,slides right out .I spray with Pam before filling the molds & never had the beads stick at all ,so far so good . Hope this helps 😀

Yes, it is Vanilla Voodoo from Candle Cocoon.   Is the only one I use...Now you do use less % in oil than 6% as her oils are very concentrated.  Her prices are a bit higher but shipping is not expensive.

 

Trappeur

Thanks Trapp! I was wanting to know what vanilla you used & liked  ,so I appreciate your recommendation.Do you have anymore Candle Cocoon recommendations ? I am going to do a little shopping from this company in the near future .Thanks for any you can recommend to me .I trust your judgement  😀

On 6/10/2018 at 11:31 AM, GailC said:

@katmeltswax, seems like she said Vanilla Voodoo is from Candle Cocoon but that's off the top of my head.  I've never ordered from Candle Cocoon and don't intend to start!!!!!!!!! 

 

Yes!!! I think that's the one Vanilla voo Doo. I don't blame ya not wanting another supplier😀 I know exactly how ya feel.

I cosplay as Wonder Woman, and our group does a lot of charity stuff (kids events, reading events at public libraries, visiting patients, etc.).  Our state's big comic con is in a month and I've been asked to contribute some candles to baskets we raffle off and give the money to charities.  So I'm trying to come up with some kind of superhero scents or movie/fantasy type of thing.  For example, a green or foresty FO could become "The Shire" from the Hobbit books & movies, and something Mediterranean might get designated "Themyscira Breeze".  Not sure I like that second one, but that's why I'm asking you all and you get the drift.  I need to try to do this from FOs I already have so if I can pick your brains for suggestions I can rummage in my stash and see what I have.

 

I'm the Wonder Woman closest to the blond on the far left in the first pic below, and the second is just me (drat, how do you make these post smaller???).

Awsome Wonder Woman 😀

Belinda,

What does Black Ice smell like to you?  I had a customer request it (a man) and I immediately thought perfume smell, haven't really looked it up because so many times it just says dupe.  I really can't handle perfume at all even have a hard time pouring pink sugar.

Thanks!

My two cents to answer your question. Black ice is musky, mossy,woodsy & a splash of straight up lavender. This scent is very masculine Imo. I do not like the scent ,however many customers that love masculine types certainly love this one .The Candlesource has a perfect dupe of this scent. It is similar to Yankees Mid summer Night ,reminds me of a strong men's cologne .Hope this helps .Kcrazy if you gag on Pink sugar lol this one certainly would not be one of your favorites .I pour this scent for customers ,along with Mid S night. I cannot stand MSN ,my daughter makes me pour this for her alot .Yuck puck gag for me lol. I get thru it & fill my office with room spray fast ,kinda nauseating for me . Black ice is super strong & a masculine/perfumey  outdoorsy scent . I do sell alot of this one & MSN . Hope this helps 😀

Thanks! I actually think I ordered some of theirs before and liked it. I'm glad you reminded me!

What company do you recommend for the aroma beads ? I see Aztec has some bad reviews of these smelling like vinegar .
