Thank you so much for the info Trapp. I really appreciate it. I was torn as I have WSP Spiced Cranberry & also have CS Cranberry Marmalade. That's why I was hoping it was just straight up sweet Cranberry. So no spice or cinnamon in it at all then? Oh wow about it turning a goldfish color in candles. What color is it in the bottle? An amber color or a dark brown? I would probably color it a Cranberry color anyhoo but I wonder why it's so dark. 😬

Thank you for letting me know @ScentedPleasurez 😇💕

Anyone used FB Iced Cranberry by chance?

I absolutely will. I love this community of people that all look out and help each other with stuff! So awesome 👏🏼 Oh! Have you ever tried FB Iced Cranberry? It's in my cart but I need a cranberry that doesn't have spice in it. Please lmk thanks so much

@ScentedPleasurez I have yet to order directly through them, however I do have some of their oils from a destash from a friend. I do still have the list of the ones you suggested, but what are you thoughts on any new ones? I hope your enjoying all of your new oils. They were supposed to be next but somehow I ended up placing an order with Lonestar instead. TO many FO suppliers & not enough money! 😂

@Sarah S they're on on my list to order from still. They were supposed to be next but I ended up placing a pretty hefty first time order with Lonestar. I hope they all end up being amazing! How did you end up liking the Apple Cobbler? What do think about the Cold Mountain Air & Chocolate Cappuccino? I have the list you told me about from before also. For once I'm actually glad I missed this sale. LOL.... spending wayyyyy to much lately. Like it's not even cute anymore! 😬 But I absolutely love making wax!

Hi Trapp! Is their Iced Cranberry sweet or is there a bit spice to it? Thanks so much!

@Faerywren thanks so much for your help and for letting me know. I was thinking about ordering Forest Nymph..... What do you get mostly from that one? I also ended up grabbing some of the Fall Festival from Lonestar when I ordered yesterday. So will hold off on the one from FB for now. But Sun & Earth is in my cart. 👍🏼 Is it fruit heavy?

So glad to hear that you are happy with your FB order OOB. For the C&BS from FB would you say that you actually like it better than the one from JS OOB? Then the Lavender Fields... Is this one more Herbal or Fresh? Or maybe even sweet? Please LMK as that is one I had my eyes on initially. Then finally for the VBN.... Do you prefer it from ICS or FC? Or are they similarly strong throwers? I need a good VBN. I will be picking up the one from WSP when they have their 20% off sale but for now I need some but don't want to pay $40 a lb. i do also love their spiced apple & peaches. It's an amazing thrower in my wax. I do love their salted caramel too. But FC also has a wonderful Salted Caramel. Thanks so much Gail! 😇

Perfect!!! You will love that blend! Try blending pretty much any fruit with Vanilla Chamagne and I think you will like most of them. The best way to "initially" test special blends is to use Q-tips. Cut them in 1/2 and dip one 1/2 q-tip in Vanilla Champagne and one 1/2 q-tip in orange. Put them in a small scent shot container and cap it for about 20-30 minutes and smell it and see what you think. If it needs more orange add another 1/2 of a q-tip dipped in orange FO and let it sit for another 20 ISH minutes. This is how I work with my initial custom blends and it works fabulously for me. HTH! Lmk if your looking for some other blend ideas... I've got plenty. And ALWAYS remember Forrest.... Happy Wife happy life! 😂💕. So keep on making her those fruity blends. 😜

I second what I said earlier even more now! Lol The only one that I haven't tried from your second list is Lilac. I have only used Lilac from RE & CC. My favorite being Lovely Lilac from CC. However Pink Lilac & Willow from RE is pretty darn amazing too! Do you have any favs from Lonestar or Bittercreek? Those are the next 2 NEW places I'm ordering from. I've tried several oils from both just have never ordered direct from them. If you need any suggestions from me feel free to ask. I always like asking prior to placing orders because it helps me to choose.

Hi Trapp! I love blending FO's. Vanilla Champagne is one of those FO's that you can just play with over and over again. I have blended it with Orange, Blackberry, Pomegranate, (also Sparkling Pomegranate Prosecco) Vanilla Pear, Cherry (but go light), Peaks Key Lime and believe it or not, I've also used NG Key Lime Pie! And I actually like Key Lime Pie better than regular key lime. Soooooo Good! I will always have Vanilla Champagne in my possession. 😋 Ohh, almost forgot BRV mixed with it it amazing too! Pretty much a lot of fruit FO's will blend nice with VC. Do you have any favs from Lonestar Candle Supply? I know you love Bittercreek..... What are some of your favs from there?

Seems we have similar taste in FO's. I too own all of the ones your restocking but I have to say their Mango Sorbet outperforms their Coco Mango in my wax. Its definitely not a dud, just not my top choice for Mango. Werewolf is also AMAZING! 😇 Do you have any other favs from NG?

Well Hello Forrest! Being that I love right down the street from NG I have smelled most of heir oils and have purchased literally hundreds. The Bamboo & White Grapefruit you will absolutely love and get amazing throw from that! I use 2-3 different blends and it does well in all my wax! You will also get great throw with BRV, Vanilla Champagne and the Caribbean! All stellar FO's. Vanilla Champagne is one that is so versatile, as it is a good blender but it's also a good stand alone FO. LMK if your looking for any scents in particular. 😇

Oops... I forgot to mention ICS (Indiana Candle Supply) They have such reasonably priced FO's and the owner is ON TOP OF THINGS! You ask a question and she replies with the quickness as my son would say 😂 Her stuff is pretty darn amazing! Especially for the price! Give them a shot! Belinda is the one who finally got me to order from them and I am so glad I did! HTH! Anyways, what are some of your favorites?

If your looking for "ANY" kind of Peach recommendations, I would have to suggest CS Peach Nectar. It is a crazy good seller! Although it is more candied, it is still phenomenal! Another great Peach is Fresh Peach from RE. It is stellar @katmeltswax! My friend strongly suggests Blushing Peach from ICS. So that will be on my next ICS order for sure! What are some of your favorite Peach FO's?

I wanted to chime in and share my personal favorite suppliers. I do have a few favorites and they are as follows: Natures Garden- They have far more hits than misses for me and their FO's are so reasonably priced. And as @ScentedPleasurez had mentioned they have a rewards program and if you buy 5 or more 16 oz bottles you get $1.00 off of each bottle. Plus they are local to me.... WSP- They have one the best quality FO's that I have ever used. But, I do tend to be more selective with what I buy from them. I do most of my buying in store due to getting a discount in store (I am local to them) or I buy during their online sales because anything over $25 ships free!!! Can't beat that especially with the quality of their oils. Candle Science- Yet another top notch company with excellent FO's and pretty reasonable shipping! Fragance Buddy- Quality FO's and anything over $100 ships free! I also just figured out that Adam the owner is pretty awesome! Any issues and they are very accommodating to say the least! Flaming Candle- Nice reasonable prices and a good selection of FO's to choose from. Shipping is fair also! Just Scent- They have quite the selection of FO's! I would suggest doing a search for JS here on the forums or touching base with some of the other ladies from here that have bought from JS to help you with your selection. She has excellent dupes! And her prices are GREAT! Shipping is VERY REASONABLE also! Candle Cocoon- PHENOMENAL FO's & their Customer service is top notch! I strongly suggest them! I have yet to order from Bittercreek directly, but will be doing so soon. Everything that I have from them is FAB! As far as the 464 blending are you looking to stay 100% soy or are you own to parasoy? Lmk

Your so darn sweet Kat! Will PM you now.... thanks again!

Ahhh... Have you ever th had CS Lavender? It is about the same Herbal as that? Like if I mixed sage lead with CS Lavender would it be similar or is the FB Lavender Sage really more unique than that? And okay Fall Festival is just cinnamony and spicy.... I have loads of those so I think I'll pass on that one. What about the Sun & Earth? Are you really impressed with that one? Any other FB FO's that wow you? Please do share. I get back in town tomorrow so I will be placing my order tomorrow or Monday. Thank you for your opinions also. Much appreciated! ❤

Wow.... so glad to hear. Bella sounded so good. So I'm really happy to hear it's strong! I also have RE Children's Room and I absolutely adore it! I think I suggested this one to you a while back. It makes wonderful wax melts for us. I do also have Baby Powder from NG as well as many Lavender FO's...... Oh and I also have the FB Sex Bomb lush dupe too. Do you think Bella is to close to either of these? You are honestly Yes my youngest son will be turning 16 on the 15th and I turned 41 on the 7th. This is definitely a fab gift for us both!!! We arrived in Florida this evening about 5:30 pm and I'm BEAT already. Off to bed very soon because 9 am comes early. Thank you so much for all of the helpful info. You are always soooo.... wonderful!!!

Ohhhh okay. Bella is one that has been in my radar for a long while and for some reason it always makes its way out of my cart. What do you get from this one? The description is so confusing to me.... And I most certainly will let you know what ones I get. We are off today for Disney/Universal Studios in Orlando.... flight leaves in about 8 hours. ❤😇🎉🎈🎊🤗

Agree 100%. When I do go on some of he destash groups 9 times out of 10 they charge like $1.00 more per lb. than what I can buy it for brand new. There are needles in the haystack, but in my personal experience few and far between. So, Shelley is certainly VERY LUCKY! 🍀

Holy smokes!!! $1.00 a pound for peak FO's sealed? What ones were they? Wow..... I'm in the wrong places lol

Awww... THANK YOU so much for the Birthday wishes @katmeltswax. Your always so stinking sweet! What ones diddou end up ordering this go round?

Ohhhh NOOOO! 😢 That's terrible. Did you put the LABORDAY code in when you ordered?
