    enchanted lights would maybe be the same as beanpods is not the best scent for chai tea at all. and dont color it gray blue like them either. LOL

    They are the same and its a latte tea...kinda chocolatey...I have no idea what it is " supposed " to smell like but I like it !

    Gotta agree about the color ...I was wondering about that myself

    I have Chai Latte from Enchanted Lites and I LOVE this fragrance ...Its like a chocolate tea or something ....kinda hard to describe but Ive noticed that people either really really like it....or they really really hate it..

    ...and I make mine a light brown

    the candlesource-- anyone tried them? how are the oils?

    in Fragrance Discussion

    Just don't order Butter rum...I just got a bottle of it and it smells exactly like finger nail polish remover out of bottle..YUK...

    Did you put it in wax ??? Most of the time oils smell 10000000 times better in wax than OOB

    ..............and I too LOVE Loren and his oils !!...His shipping cant be beat and like someone else said in a earlier post ..generally when oils are cheap priced they smell cheap...actually like shit...But not Lorens .....his oils are fantastic !!!

    OFS Sandalwood Vanilla and wicking

    in Fragrance Discussion

    Posted

    Using Candle Sources blend wax and Candle Source ' small ' wicks Im testing OFS Sandalwood Vanilla....The flame is really puney and the throw is fair...The flame hasnt drown itself, tho youd think it should have butit just wont get going. I havent had this problem with any other oil with this same wick and wax combo.

    Im testing votives at 1oz pp oil...maybe a little less, actually , of oil.

    I do want to say that if this flame were doing what it knows it should be that this oil would be STRONG ..and it smells SOOOOOOOOOOOO goooood !!!

    Thanx for any suggestions !

    Fedex Vent...

    11 years ago I was a courier for FedEx......We had time limits on how long it took us to pick up and deliver each package. We would get "dinged" by not making our times and commitments and that would hurt the paycheck. They would also , in between your normal route, send other pick ups for you to grab, while you still had to make your other deliveries...Saturdays were the worst...We had the there by 12 or free thing . We were told to park where we could, speed, eat and drive. By DOT standard we had to take certain timed breaks and I cant remember how long they were....But thats why they are so rude and in a hurry. Hell Id run from truck to door , if the package/letter allowed. They HAVE to things delivered/ picked up on time. I TOTALLY agree it NO EXCUSE what so ever to toss, drop kick ( worked at UPS loading there for a while and its BAD there !!! ) or mishandle any package !! I cant belive the couriers are like that now. I use DHL most now cause theyre generally cheaper when something needs shipped......

    Really sux that theyve downgraded theyre customer service and now , what looks like, reputation, to this !!
