  1. This isnt a fragrance oil, but a few suggestions as I am deeply involved in the perfume community. 

    1. Check out scentbird. (I have referral link as well) they have bright crystal and many many others. It is 15$ a month and you get 8ml of the perfume of your choice in a twist up spray tin to house the drop in glass. They also have insanely expensive scents as well for the same 15$  month. 8ml is equivalent of 2 sprays a day for 30 days. 

    2. Hit up sephora, ulta, nordstroms, macys and so on for free samples. The samples are anywhere from 1 to 2ml up to 5ml usually. They absolutely do not mind.

    Happy Hunting!

  2. Mine arrived as well!

    These are all right from the bottle.

     

    Oatmeal Milk+Honey: It was described as sweet. Luckily it wasn't overly so. I've been hunting for a good plain milk scent, and this one is subtle. The honey isnt overly sweet and is reminiscent of shea butter.....which I love. It isn't terribly strong.

    Nagachampa: Dead on dupe for the incense. Strong.

    Tuscan Tobacco: Very mild, not full bodied. Weak.

    Marseille Fig: A lovely green fig scent. Strong.

    Leather&Lace: Predominantly leather, but a nice one. Background is soft.

    Asian Fig: Quite soapy but pleasant

    Coconut: Fresh cracked coconut is accurate. Not sickly sweet.

    Grass: Fresh cut grass, a hint of crushed ferns. Fantastic.

    Lemongrass&Sage: Smells a bit like lemonheads candy, sage is faint.

    Magnolia: Truly lovely Mag scent. 

    Ocean: Less salty, very spa day. I like it a lot.

    White Fig: Hands down, the best fig scent of the 4 I ordered. Very green, and a dang close dupe for Diptyque's Philosykos. 

    Turkish Fig: not bad, I dont detect pear or apple, ut perhaps a bit of lemon?

    Sage: strong, nice scent

    Sandalwood: Why does this smell so much like peanutbutter??

    Chamomile: A bit like industrial cleaner. 

    Patchouli: Strong and camphorous 

    Wisteria: Smells exactly like johnson and johnson's baby shampoo. Like, identical. 

    Rose: Smells like a strong rose, a bit generic, not sweet.

    Fig Tree: Smells like a pina colada

    Jasmine: Indolic, sweet and veering close to urinal cakes. 

    Lemon: Candied lemon. Foo.

    Cranberry: Grape hubba bubba bubble gum

    Clove: nice strong clove, background of cinnamon

    Cinnamon Sticks: Red hots. 

     

    Overall, Im into it, but lets see how they do in wax eh?

  3. I think I know why I don't often see Indigo Fragrance reviewed. 

    I have tried 4 times to purchase from them. Every single time that I have tried, it empties My cart. There are around 20 scents that I want, and yet I can't. I am utterly flabbergasted. Ive even tried making an account, hoping it would save my cart. I cant find anywhere to make one. 

  4. @GailC Hehe, looks like. I am rather obsessed with perfume, which is how I wound up with candles. I love playing with fragrance, I have a list of scents Im trying to create. I lean heavily towards woods (but not pine or cedar) I love honey scents, but I dislike most sweet scents. Im hoping one of those figs is a "green" fig. I haven't actually sold anything yet, but I look forward to it once I get My recipes satisfactory :D

    I haven't used AAA, but like you I can hardly turn down a deal like that. 

     

    Have you tried any from Indigo? I have a list of things I want from there, but the darn site keeps crashing!
