For the life of me, I can't figure out why CW's Snickerdoodle is so expensive.  Do you think they would give you the free price on the Snickerdoodle?  On one of my orders, the prices for FO's ranged from 13.54 to 17.00.  My free one was $14.32.  So I'm not sure how they decide which bottle is free.

 

I haven't bought many of the classic scents from CW.  Cinnamon was decent, but I use it for a mixer.  

I am pretty sure it allows you to pick any scent after you have met the minimum $75 requirement .

I remember getting Storm Watch a while back as my freebie & it to is very pricey .I will lyk as soon as I get this order placed . They have

3 new codes at this time ,enter Votelb ,think that's correct at check out for the Free lb. I will double check this too . I am having a hard time deciding on the free one lol...So many I would love to have  kwim.

@katmeltswax, BTW, I didn't care for the name, Black Tea Orange & Almond, so I call it Tea & Cakes.  It has almost the same scent description as FB's Moonworks version of Tea & Cakes.

I agree the name is out of sorts ,long & boring right . I to will rename this one ,looking forward to this scent . I have been wanting to try it for such a long while now .

Thanks Gail bunches .

Thanks!  I've been around, just haven't had much to contribute.   And I haven't been buying FO's so I don't want to hear what everyone is loving.   

 

I did restock a couple at Candlewic when they had a sale where you get a free bottle.  I bought some wax and 2 of my 'must haves'.  Pumpkin Chai and Black tea, Orange and Almond.  But I didn't buy any new new scents.  Yay me!  I am bound and determined to use what I have before I buy more. I will probably even forgo the Black Friday sales because I am all stocked up on what I need, plus I have so many FO's I haven't even cracked open yet. (except to sniff of course.)

I need to order CW Frasier fir ,as I am running very low .This one is a must for me during the Winter season ,along with Peppermint & Cypress . The Black tea Orange almond sounds really great .I  remember you posting it was a strong one . I have it on my order list as well . I am going to wait on 

Coastal Kale bc it's a spring summer scent ,have heard great reviews on this one . I think your going need strong determination to stay away from the upcoming Black Friday sales ,some are so good kwim.....Stay Strong !!!!

I am planning on Aztecs & Fragrange Buddy bc it's such a good discount on BF sales .I try to stock up on many I use each year during this time .

I wanted to ask you about CW regular scents ,not ultimate & bold ,do you have any recommendation for these ?

I see many are really low priced for half & lb bottles .

I have a interest in some ,just not sure if these are strong as the UB oils . It states to use 3-4% so thinking these are good strong oils ,hope to try a few soon . I noticed the Snickerdoodle is over $37 a lb UB scent ,this would be a good one to choose for the Free pound scent lol....I usually get one of

the higher priced ones during this offer .

Please lmk if you have any recommendations on CW regular oils at all ? I  appreciate it very much, especially fall winter scents . Nice talking to you again always .

Kat ...

I look forward to the Black tea & orange almond ,sounds yummy .

Hi Dee and Kat - Just like any other supplier, there are keepers and duds and so much depends on the wax itself.  I use a paraffin container blend.

Keeper so far:

Sugar Cookie Signature - hands-down THE best

Cherry Champagne and Merlot Red Wine by request from a gift shop client

Cinnamon Buns - Good for now

Cinnamon - Good

 

Not overly impressed with:

Amish Harvest - very light

Asian Sandalwood and Ancient Incense are too perfumey

Cranberry Woods - Too light

Home Sweet Home Cinnamon - Too light

Iced Cranberry - Very fruity.  Might keep it and rename it Fruit Basket or something

Twisted Peppermint - Fuel smell but it was my fault for over-wicking the tester.  Will probably test again.

Winter Dessert - Light but complex.  Middle notes of powder with top notes of cherry.  Will probably come back to this.

 

Just ordered new samples of:

Baby Powder

Vanilla Ice Cream

Lavender & Sage

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Bourbon Barrel

Frosted Carrot Cake

Apple Jack 'n Peel

Pumpkin Perfect

Pumpkin Pecan Waffles

Vanilla Buttercream Crunch

Sugar & Spice

Brown Sugar & Fig

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you bunches in the oil reviews . I know you will live FB pumpkin pecan Waffle ,super strong & great scent .

The sugar cookie you mentioned the best is this by any chance 

Sugar cookie Royal ? If so it is a moonworks dupe .. Yes very good scent kwim. The cherry  champagne sounds very interesting ,will order during Black Friday ,lol along with many more .

I highly recommend FB Mulberry to ,awsome strong scent . Great year round scent .

Thank you & keep us posted on your new editions after you get these into the wax & oob smell reviews as well 😀

Kat...

If your a peppermint fan , definitely check out CWics Peppermint & Cypress ,it's outrageously strong .

I also like Aztecs Peppermint swirl ,no fuel on this one to my nose ,very sweet mint .

I would love to hear the ones you purchased & how you like them? 

I always look forward to their Black Friday sale each year ,stock up time for me with many suppliers .

Thanks in advance .

Kat

FB has some really great oils . I use a hand full of theirs & many more I want to try as well .I know many here can suggest some good  ones .

I've tried TFC's Smoking Vanilla, and it's too smoky for me. I think it needs more vanilla, and less smoky. I use 6006 or C3 wax, if that helps. I'm interested in their Asian Sandalwood, too. I ordered more sample wicks for testing, and bigger bottles of Caribbean Salsa and Egyptian Amber. 

I somehow have overlooked Flamings Smoking Vanilla ,sounds interesting . I will have to give this one a try soon . I love Flamings  Autumn Flannel with a splash of Marshmallow Fireside added from another supplier. I wanted to make the scent a lil bit stronger & this combo had good results ,just what I was looking for . The smoking vanilla sounds like a good blender scent . Thanks for the post.😀

I received a email from Fillmore today .Three NEW scents launched.

Autumn Spice

Berry Trifle

White Pine Forest

Sounds so inviting ,sorry to enable,could not help but let you all know asap. I am sure many og yoy received same email. For the ones that did not ,wanted to let you know about these .

Do you use zip bags?

No I use polypropylene bags with out the zip ,however you can buy polypropylene zipper bags & this will work better . I just have so many of the other ,I use for melts ,so I use them for the beads kwim. I think zip will work even better .

I will probably end up ordering polypropylene zip type eventually bc it will make it even easier kwim.

4 minutes ago, Skk5233 said:

@katmeltswax where do you get your bags from? 

I order bags from Papermart by the case ,as I also use these to pack my wax melts . If you don't want a case you can easily purchase on eBay or Amazon .I do want to say ,make sure you order polypropylene ,not polyethylene .

This is super important not to absorb the scent from your beads kwim. It's so much easier to use bags instead of jars imo. It allows you to really mix the oil into the beads & takes up less space .I keep all my bags in one big container & keep them blending off & on thru out the day kwim.Make sure all your bags are tied very secure .Easy peezy lol!

This technique works like a charm 😀

I will be getting them today. So can you give me tips? I have made aroma beads in sachets but not ornaments. From what I have read in this post is to put them 1 cup to one ounce fragrance oil until soaked up then add the the ornament with a nail for the hole. Fill about 3/4 or to the top and bake at 350 for 10 minutes give or take. 

Yes you hot it right ,oven temps vary so just keep your eye on them kwim. You can use glass jars as skk5233 suggested ,however I have switched my soaking to my polypropylene bags ,I find it much easier to blend the oils into the beads . I put the beads ,oil color etc into the bags ,tie them up & soak till dry . The oils soak up super fast & mine stay in the bags until ready to bake . It does not hurt to leave them for any length of time . I get great results .Make sure to use polypropylene if you are not going to use the glass jars .

I switched from jars bc I find it takes up less space during dry time as well .Hope this helps !

@katmeltswax No problem.  I am using the Plasticpellets4fun with good results except for the box I got which were the problem beads.  Didn't realize it until I had made about 90 ornaments.    Slowly testing those bad boys in my car to see if they are salable but have a good inventory to sell of the "good" beads in the meantime.  I just hate to throw them.

Thanks,

GoldieMN

Well I hope they work out for you in the long run . It would be terrible to lose out in 90 freshners . I know the time involved making these ,along with the expense .Keep me posted .

Thank you.  I was afraid of that.  I'm holding a grudge and don't wanna buy from Peak...😧

I should really get over that.

lol ! Im over it . Ive got bigger fish to fry lol ! Their Sugar Cookie is out of stock , so Im waiting for that 

I know right MS he has some amazing oils ,I really miss peak oils .I  cannot find replacements to compare honestly . I loved so many & with the holidays arriving would love a lb of Holiday sparkle 

Winter wonderland & Red Clove ,and the list goes on & on lol....

Yes definitely his sugar cookie is wonderful as well.

"Plastics" also. . .do you mean you got them from "Plastic Pellets for Fun"?  I think that is where I ordered cornhole pellets from for cornhole bags.

GoldieMN

I apologise Goldie ,as I did not see your question a while back ,not sure how or why I missed it .

Yes I meant Plasticpellets4fun having the really great beads .

I have never had a problem with the premium beads from this company,long lasting & soak up really fast too. I hope your getting great results as well . I  will be ordering more asap ,as I am out ATM. We are having some remodeling issues going on at home lately ,has caused me to put many things on hold . I am excited to get back to making  freshners , especially for the holiday season .

I always bought mine from them and also buy it ship it which is the same company. They had great beads but now they're crap! I've thrown away so many fresheners made with their beads and finally just took the last whole 10 pound bag I bought from them and threw it in the trash. I will never buy from aroma beads online or buy it ship it again. HUGE waste of money! I also ordered one of their fresheners and compared to mine it looked terrible and had hardly any smell to it at all. I'm glad you're having good luck but for a lot of us their beads are terrible now. I will buy from NG or Plasticpellets 4 fun or whatever their name is from now on unless they switch to bad beads like Aroma beads online did. If that happens I will quit making fresheners altogether. 

I agree with you Belinda 500% so terrible when you have to throw $ in the trash right . Lessons learned can be so costly at times . I will be staying with Plasticpellets4fun always ,fast ship,great beads & customer service is top notch .

They certainly have my future  business always Plasticpellets4fun at  least stepped up to the plate & resolved the issue .That's more than I have heard this other company has provided to their customers .Sorry you had to lose money on the Aroma & buy it ship beads . 

😇Kat 

Same here Skk5233 ,I have had nothing but great results with Plasticpellets4fun premie beads .

I live in Texas & trust me our vehicles get Extremely hot here during the summer ,never had any of my car freshners melt & the scent has lasted beyond my expectations . I will continue to buy my beads from Plasticpellets4fun bc I get great results . I use 1 oz oil per 8 oz of beads ,soak up super duper fast .

Love these beads !

Lol this thread is a year ago .I wanted to correct myself on the brand .It's Crafters Choice ,not Craft server ,geez oh me must have had CS on the brain . Crafters Choice is the mica brand .Sorry for any misunderstanding on my post here a long while ago .

Lebermuth will Dupe if sent 1/2 oz. the service is currently free of charge, with a 25 lb purchase min. If people loooove this scent, a Dupe co-op might be a grand plan. I have never smelled that one. 

That sounds great & I would be interested in this scent lol & many more of TCS .
