Keystone is the only one I can recall that had it.  It's been out of stock for awhile  

 The owner told me that she does not restock Peak fragrances. It's a long story but she can't get them anymore. So once she runs out she's out. I really wish we knew where his fragrance company was so we can just buy these fragrances.

I ordered samples of the following a couple of years ago ... their quality was more of the the "old time" type of oils I've bought in the past, which I really prefer.  Some weren't as strong as desired, but they performed, mixed well, and most were pretty true to their name.  I liked that they were "basic" scents, as they mixed very well.

 

Creme Brulee - sweet, but not as full-bodied as I'd prefer
French Vanilla - smelled nice, but not an over-the-top
Fresh Cut Roses - definitely fresh cut roses!
J & J Bedtime Bath (Soothing Lavender) - nice in a body spray, I'd like to get more of this one
Spearmint Candy - a mint I mixed with other stuff, and it still shines through, should have bought more
Bartlett Pear - very nice, I added some spices to it
Fresh Strawberries - had more of a "jam" type quality, but nice anyway - goes great with roses, btw
Fresh Orange & Peel - a nice orange
Pineapple - pretty close, mixed very well
Peppermint - nice, just a basic peppermint

 

Thank you. The Spearmint candy sounds really good. I also need a peppermint. I'm running out. I love a fresh rose.

I've liked all of the ones I've ordered from them. I don't use them much because shipping is so high to Texas but they have some good FO's. I've used their Vicks, Butt Naked, Banana Nut Muffin, Black Ice, Leather, Lemon Meringue pie, Love Spell, monkey farts, Oatmeal milk and honey, Pearberry and a few more and they are comparable to the other suppliers.

Thank you I will see how much shipping is. I know you are a fragrance fanatic like me lol

It started with Pink Sugar! They had the best "non vanillin" PS
I still have a lot of their old formulas FO's including Lime Cooler that I am hoarding. LOL
It's almost like they are catering to the new class and ignore the old schoolers. 

Lime Cooler is amazing. I'm trying to find a replacement. They are making tons of money by calling it clean. It's awful. No fragrances are clean. They are all chemicals. They were my favorite and now I hate their fragrances.

I’ve heard that they changed Lemon Pound Cake and it’s nothing like the original ☹️
I loved that one. 

You are right it is not the same at all. It's missing the strong lemon. Now it's muted down. Bitter Creek Candle company has a great one.

I am looking for opinions on The Candle Source. Their fragrances are cheap but are they good? I am very picky. I only like strong fragrances. What brands would you compare this too. Thank you

Their whole "lets go green, so we feel better about ourselves" has compromised a lot of their scents. 

It's all about the money. They have a following that likes it. I noticed it's new members that are mostly. I hate it.

Have you found a replacement for lime cooler? We now need a new cotton candy. They got rid of it. I'm really mad about it.

Good question.  None of the suppliers note lot numbers On bottles. Super frustrating. Most of us find out when we have it in product and it stops working like we remember it should. 

Now they have their Clean Scents logo on there. They are awful.

I used to collect them myself. But now I just buy the big bottles and hope for the best. Lol if I'm not totally happy I just resell them. I am tired of fooling with the little bottles. They are not cost effective and they take too much time to try to create stuff with. 

Lebermuth and French Color.

Candle Science cotton candy. Also Fragrance Buddy circus concessions cotton candy and WSP cotton candy twist.

I am not impressed with Just Scent fragrances. I find them weak and was not impressed. There are too many great companies that want our business.

Bescented or Scentsational Soap supply ? Thank you for chiming in. I really appreciate it  

I am just getting back on here I forgot to check to see if you wrote. No it's from Essentials by Catalina.

They have one called biscotti and I bet you it's good I'm going to get it. At least it's a fragrance I can fix if it's not good.

I did like them. The only one I was so so was Caribbean splash. 

Dole was really good just a small touch of vanilla to make it creamy 

I'm using SoCal to make my daughter a body spray 

Thank you. I wonder if their 4 pounds for $10 is any good lol that's crazy.

I feel the same way about studio fragrance , the fo's are off in some way..didnt like them at all

We think They have PG which is used in vaping. Not sure but smells like it. I tried 7 of them. Would not sell them. They were the worst I've tried. Muddy Soap is outstanding. I will continue to buy from there. Very strong and true to scent. 

I hate Studio Fragrance. They are weak fragrances to me. I bought several and threw them away. 

I love Muddy Soap. They have strong fragrances. Very impressed. 

I just found out that New York Scents has the original Nature's Fragrances. I was told they get them from the same supplier. So now nobody has to go without Nature's fragrances.

I realize that this is probably a loaded question but...if you were to recommended to someone starting out making candles one place to get a handful of fragrance oils from where would it be? I want to try a bunch of different scents but don't want to be ordering from multiple places to start. I am located in Pennsylvania if that factors into the decision.

 

Also...any particular scents that you think would be good to start with? I am open to pretty much anything.

 

Thank you in advance 😊

Keystone candles supplies and Candlewic are both in Pennsylvania. Keystone candle supplies has free shipping when you spend $49 or more.

Keystone has amazing Peak fragrances. Candlewick has a bunch of great fragrances and two that I really love are baking cupcakes and Jack Frost. Hopefully you might be close to both of those or one of those places.

I used to use Peak. It was similar to Circle E years ago when I was searching. Although I didn’t try every supplier. I think Keystone carries it. 

Yes you are right Keystone has it. It is outstanding.

I'm real bad about compulsive oil ordering lol. 😝

If you still haven't placed an order by the time I get it, I'd be more than happy to send you a sample! 🙂

That is really nice of you. I am ordering today thank but you. I have a feeling it's going to be amazing. 

I just read they are going out of business. They might come back later but they don't know for sure. 15% off all stock that's left. No code will be applied automatically. Read it on their Facebook page.

I just ordered it! 😄

Lol that is great. I want to as well. I take awhile before ordering sometimes. I collect many fragrances in destashes. This company is so good though.
