  1. That $10 off $25 is a great deal. My daughter received that same coupon and that's what made her try some samples from there. I asked her and she said the Captain Crunch is spot on and smells amazing OOB. As well as strawberry milkshake, macaroon and she said the smell of Snickers coffee is to die for. Some of the strongest scents she has come across. She hasn't tried using them yet, so I don't know the end result of them. Hope this helps.
  2. Thanks! Just went to the site and a few are sold out (like Cozy Christmas and Toasted Marshmallow) that I really wanted to try. But they have the ones Belinda mentioned that I intend on getting.
  3. Yes... all from JS: Godiva Berry Truffle - Incredible OOB, I wanted to eat it! Berry Buttercream Puffs - Your rec Belinda and it smells yummy. Definitely smell the berries, and buttercream pastry. Orange Caramel Crumble - Again I wanted to eat this. Great combo of orange pound cake and caramel. Says it's one of their best sellers! Candy Corn - Read on another post this was spot on and yup finally found it! Banana Caramel Cupcake - took a chance and glad I did. Definitely smell the banana and caramel, and cinnamon, with a bit of buttercream. Champagne Toast - was looking for a slight sweet champagne scent, and this was it. Just like the description... effervescent blend of Champagne, juicy nectarine and blackcurrant. Chocolate Chip Cookie - can't tell just yet, smelling more cookie and maybe not enough chocolate. Blueberry Cream - Great scent OOB, but didn't smell the "cream" notes in it. More like a blueberry sorbet. Still love it though! Coconut Milk and Lavender - purchased based on a lot of recc's on here, but didn't really care for that scent. Smelled like a lotion with those notes, but like something my mother would wear:-) Pink Tinsel - Waaay too strong for my nose. States douglas fir is middle note, but it was a definite top note and powerful. If I tried hard I could smell a slight hint of pomegranate. Didn't care for it.
  4. Bought a Snickerdoodle cookies from NG and OOB smells just like the description... fresh baked aroma of French vanilla with a touch of cinnamon sticks, gingerbread, and maple syrup. Haven't used it yet, but my daughter loves it and says it's the best so far.
  5. Just received JS Starbucks Peppermint Mocha and OOB smells exactly like the name! Definitely smell the mocha with the peppermint, well balanced.
  6. I will try that. I have a good hersey's chocolate FO, and I'm sure I can find a good peppermint.
  7. Any recommendations of who may carry a FO similar to Peppermint Mocha, Starbucks type? Thought of Peppermint Bark but not sure it would have a mocha type scent to it.
  8. Thanks to Belinda, she told me about Lone Star Candle Supply and how close it was to me (50 min drive) Went with my daughter today and we were primarily looking for bakery, fruity and candy smells. We sniffed well over 100 and the front desk staff there were very welcoming and helpful. Here is what we ended up buying in 1oz bottles to try out: 1. Marshmallow Madness - have been looking for a true marshmallow scent that was not a "toasted marshmallow" and this was it! (You were right Belinda!) This was the only one we bought an 8oz in because, as it was so great. 2. Banana - my daughter said it smelled just like banana taffy and it does! 3. Blackberry Lemonade - Another one I couldn't put down and it smelled amazing. Definitely smelled the blackberries with the tartness of lemonade. 4. Christmas Cookie - My daughter loved this and it is definitely yummy smelling. 5. Coconut Cream Pie - I don't like the taste of coconut, but I would eat this! It smelled really yummy. 6. Cranberry Kettle Corn - Didn't think I would like this combination, but I couldn't put it down! Spot on! 7. Eggnog - Again, I don't like Eggnog but I loved this one! And it's not a heavy eggnog scent. 8. Hanzel & Gretel's House - Loved this one! Smells just like a gingerbread house I build with my daughter each year :-) 9. Hazelnut - this was spot on and not too heavy smelling. 10. Hershey's Chocolate - Really needed a good chocolate scent and this is perfect. 11. Margaritaville - really liked that it was not overpowering and just perfect amount of scent just like a margarita. 12. Moose Munch - smelled so good you could eat it! 13. Pistachio Macaroon - so yummy smelling, had to get it. You can definitely smell pistachio and macaroon together. 14. Pomegranate - true to scent and not heavy smelling. 15. Pumpkin Pickin - I don't like Pumpkin scents, but I liked this one! Not too strong and just the right amount of sweetness. 16. Rain - nice calming light scent. 17. Salted Caramel - Needed one for my collection and this was spot on. 18. Spearmint - really needed a good spearmint that wasn't too strong with an overpowering spearmint scent. This was perfect. 19. Sugared Cronut - Couldn't put this one down either, it smelled amazing and just like the real thing. 20. Swiss Miss - great hot chocolate scent (better than Hot Chocolate I purchased from Aztec) 21. Wild Cherry - nice strong true cherry scent Others we really liked, but need to save for next visit: Agave Papaya Sunset Apple Slices Banana Nut Bread Birthday Cake Blueberry Cobbler Creme Brulee Forbidden Fantasy French Market Fresh Baked Bread Fudge Brownie Granny Smith Juicy Pear Kumquat Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (spot on)
  9. Hi Belinda, I'm just North of Dallas. I will check out Lone Star. I did see the marshmallow bomb on JS, please let me know what you think of it when you use it. Glad to know there is a supplier here in Texas, thank you. Hopefully shipping is reasonable. Are there others you would recommend from Lone Star? Is there vanilla good? Thanks
  10. I have purchased quite a few from NG for making bath and body items for my kids. They LOVE their Fruit Loops, Honeydew and Red Velvet Cake. I'm curious if they have a "true" honey scent. Not a honeysuckle scented one.
  11. New hear and new to making bath and body just for fun for my kids. I am having a hard time trying to find a GOOD STRONG Marshmallow scent (not Toasted Marshmallow). My kids don't like the Toasted Marshmallow scent I purchased from NG and neither did I. Toasted Marshmallow seems to be the only one I keep seeing out there from other suppliers. Any suggestions would be appreciated :-)
