I made a small order to scent works, and they sent my oils, minus one...saying they were out of stock. Now I make orders calculating in shipping (because my orders are small) and would have waited if I knew this was out of stock, rather than them just not sending it, and sending the other oils. I got no email notification that this was the case, which I would have preferred. I also could have made a substitution. Is this a normal way to do business? I was not impressed. When I emailed to enquire about this, I also got no apology, just a 'we were out of stock' and 'happy holidays'! They did not offer to resend it once their stock was back in (which it was by the time I received my oils. They also sad they made 'adjustments', but for me to go back and look, it would take a lot of time on my part to access my cc company records, because I made a lot of purchases in December. Anyone else have similar experience?

What type of scle do you need/use? what brands recommend, and best prices/place to get them? thanks

"The time it took to post on here you could have had your answer. I'm not giving you crap," Hi, I was/am wary of contacting a company I will do future business with to complain about a mix=up on a $2.00 something oil. I posted this because I felt the need to do so, as I felt others may have had a similar problem and could give advice.

Hi, I recently ordered some royal aromatics samples. One of them is wrong- instead of sending me carolina h. 212, they sent carolina h. This is just a small sample...but I am disapointed. Is it worth it to contact them, or should I just forget it? the rest of the samples were great. thanks

oh, sorry! didn't see a poll area- just was thinking about fo's

They told me they would charge my cc in "about 7 days" when it got to the order dept, then it would be filled and sent. How long does this process take?

Where does everyone buy their lye? thanks

hey, thanks! Form your good reviews, I will definately try them, thanks much. for specifics, I was wondering about Fantasy, Bedtime bath (got your reviews, thanks), and Raspberries and cream. Any other 'dupe' type as well. thanks!

How are the oils, say in comparison with NG? Can anyone offer any reviews? I want to get a feel for this company before I order and then am disappointed. Thanks

Sorry, I guess I meant to ask, how long do FO's stay "good" without turniing or fading, ect...I don't know how else to put it...hope you get what I mean, thanks

mn thanks

Anyone tried Lovely from either of these two? anyone tried the philosophy dupes from SOS? Any other dupes from either of these two that would give me an idea of quality, accuracy? Thanks so much!!

Dosent sweetcakes have it?

Thinking of ordering Angel, Angel men, aqua di gio, addict, cashmere mist...anyone try these? I am afraid to buy, thinking they might be a bad version, but hoping they are good, so am looking for input. Any advice appreciated. Wanting to make coworkers some lotion/mists. thanks

YEs, I know it's coconut--thanks for the recommendation!!

Hi, thanks for your comments on this situation-- that's why it is hard to order online, unsniffed. I think I will stick with companies that offer sniffies- I did get some from Scent works, and they smelled good-- why didn't I order from them? I guess I wanted to start with some basic scents (and the price was right-- but not in the long run). Live and learn. Just to clarify-- I used descriptors to describe-- the best I could-- the scents I got. And I didn't like them. You are right that scents are subjective, I agree- that's why everyone has their personal favorites. But I am not sensitive to fragrance- I am a fragrance addict, in a way, and can tolerate most scents, more than the average person-- I know that for sure!!

Thanks, everyone. I did make a few tarts in the birthday cake, and it still was 'off', and smelled like almond oil and plastic-- no cakey scent at all. Is this any indication? Could I be doing something wrong? Even pure fragrance oil on a light ring should smell somewhat good, shouldn't it, or am I wrong? Thanks for your help with this, I am so new.

And what do you do with fragrance oils you don't like- any uses for them?

Hi, I might be doing something wrong, as I just bought (via net) 11 2 0z FO from a reputable, but not widely used (like PEaks, ect) supplier. I got: Birthday Cake (smells like a very strong almond oil), Coconut Lime Verbena (pure Lime), Coco-Mango (not sure about this one- not coco at all), Marshmallow (very light, has bits of white stuff sinking at bottom), coconut creme pie (smells plasticky), Angel wings (smells like pure soap), SAtin sheets (just smells bad), Beachin (smells really fakey/plasticky). The blackberry, cotton candy, and passionate kisses are okay. This supplier has been lightly written about on here, as having good and strong oils, but not many other comments. Did I make a mistake in not going to a well-known company like just scents, or am I doing something wrong? I tried making a tart w/ birthday cake, and while the scent seemed strong, it was not appealing. Thanks for your help-- I am just starting out.

I know it's out there, I have seen some etailers use it...I just can't find the supplier. I think it is a new scent in FO's. Please let me know if you've seen it. Thanks!
