    The Candle Source

    The candle source is not a big supplier of Fragrance oil. If you want quality fragrances I recommend you to try different reputable sites. As other just said they have an awful interface like it was designed by a 9th grader.

    least. I'm not sure what I said that would make you feel you said 

    something wrong :) if I did please accept my apology ??

    I don't mean to seem clueless (but I guess I am LOL!) but what does that all mean? I do see the plus sign with the number after it but I guess I've just never paid much attention to what it all means.

    It means, the members over here(including me) gave you 818 reputation points for your tremendous work. The likes on your comments give you reputation :) I am amazed from the fact that you have the highest reputation on this forum (what i have seen so far) yet you don't know how it works :) you are innocent like a bird.

    Everyone has their preferences and there are quite a few so you may get several different answers. I make mostly soap and some B&B and use several myself; EBB, CS, AH, C&S, Fillmore, PFO, and a couple others. But I also use a lot of EOs from several suppliers like ED, Camden-Grey, SMR, The Chemistry Store, and others.

     

    can you plz tell the full form of each website :) thank you

    For some reason I can't find peppermint bark from CS so I guess I used it all this past Christmas but I did smell the one from JS and I like it OOB fine. It seems to have a little more of a chocolate note than the one from CS. I don't think I've ever put the one from JS in wax though.

     

    Christmas Wish was the same from both suppliers. I Love it! It's a dupe from some big name candle maker I think.

     

    Tropical scents I have from JS are Bare naked lady, (citrus type scent) I haven't put it in wax yet but it smells pretty good.

    Summer splash-a little sweeter than BNL but a good scent.

    Berry Buttercream puffs-not tropical but great scent and it's listed in the summer section.

    Black cherry merlot-haven't put it in wax yet but good and strong OOB

    Banana Daiquiri-I only got a sample of this but liked it in wax. Smells like it's description 

    Blonde Moment-a berry type scent-really like it

    Blue cotton candy-best I've used but I've only used from one other supplier

    butter pecan candies-LOVE but I'm a bakery person

    Cherry slushy-good and strong

    Coconut milk and lavender-I don't like floral but this is a good one if you like that type

    Country Berry Hot cakes-Great oil and you can get it from other suppliers too. Great throw

    Cranberry Pomegranate-Love-good and strong

    Flip flops-It's a strong oil with a lot of coconut in the back ground. I'm not sure how to describe it. 

    Lemon drops-weak to my nose. There are better lemon scents out there 

    Monkey Farts-This is a good tropical scent from every supplier that I've ordered from. I haven't tried JS but I'm sure it smells pretty much like the rest of them.

    Pink Flamingo-I like this one pretty good. I like her version better than one from another supplier.

    Serendipity -Love this one! It's not necessarily tropical at all but sweet and summery. You can also get this one from other suppliers and it may be cheaper.

    Strawberry white cake-LOVE this one! Spot on and good throw 

    Strip and go naked-Have not put it in wax. It's another citrusy scent. It smells pretty good OOB but I can't say how it will do in wax.

    Summer Board walk-love the smell of this one. Medium throw.

    Tropical Colada-I only used a sample of this one but I liked it. It has a good throw 

    Vanilla Sugar waffle cone-really good scent if you like vanilla-medium throw

    Orange Sherbet-I like this one but haven't poured it in awhile. Smells good OOB

     

    I also love her Buttercream sugar cookie, Absolutely Fabulous cake (yummy!), Aspen caramel woods, Snicker doodle, buttery gingerbread, cake batter fudge, Coffee ice cream, Cardemon spice rum cake, cinnamon crunch cake, jelly glazed donut, jingle bells, marshmallow fireside, orange caramel crumble, orange dreamsicle, peppermint meringue, santa baby, Peppermint mocha, vanilla cardamom cake and there are a few more that I can't think of right now. But I am a bakery person so that's what I gravitate too LOL!

     

    A lot of JS oils smell pretty weak OOB and really come alive in wax. She also has some duds like the rest of the suppliers. Her dupes are usually good though. There are some more of her bakery scents that I really like but I didn't list them. I've never had good luck with her pumpkin scents except pumpkin butter brûlée. 

     

    I know these aren't tropical but I looked in the Summer scent section and just put down what I'd sniffed or used.

     

    Flaming

    Bite me-Strong fruity scent with an effervescent note.

    Blue Raspberry Jolly Rancher -good and sweet

    Butt Naked-Have not put in wax but a good tropical scent from every suppler that I've used it from. I really like the one from the candle source the best. IT's a little sweeter to my nose but you can't go wrong with this one.

    Mango Papaya-I've tried this from ICS and NG and it's a great tropical scent to my nose. I haven't put the one from Flaming in wax but they all pretty much smells the same to me.

    Raw Sugar Mandarin-Love this one! A sweet orange scent

    Strawberry Lemon Ice-Love this one OOB. Have not put it in wax

    Sugared Lemon-Love this one. Great throw to my nose

    Sweet strawberry-Love this strawberry scent!

    Watermelon Lemonade-Smells great OOB but haven't put in wax

    Summer scoop-Love this one! Smells like strawberry ice cream but you can smell vanilla in there too. Good throw

     

    Sorry this was so long. I just clicked on their summer/fruity scents to see what I had in that category. 

    I also love North Pole from Flaming, Apple ginger crust, Pumpkin apple butter, Salted caramel, Sugared Pralines, and Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow, alpine cheer, and there are a few more. Trappeur uses a lot of their oils so shv give you a better review!

     

    If I think of any more I'll let you know!
