Lavender Ice

I have a soap for men called Lavender Ice. I cannot keep it in stock.

Oh Noodle...just saw your name suggestion after my post went up. That is a nice one too.

SliverofWax suggested this name. I just like it because it sounds unusual. Lavender in the winter? It sure would pique my interest.

Sounds very nice! I like the Winter Lavender as well. It sounds unique.

Twitter has been very successful for me. I have a lot of followers and it is a great tool to advertise sales and promotions.

Peaks jasmine is a great seller for me.

Apple, cinnamon, and clove

I have never smelled a better rose than Sweet Cakes. It is pricey, but so worth it.

Very nice soap and a great display!

My best sellers are OMH, citrus scented, unscented, vanilla scented, and various florals like rose, lilac, lily of the valley...

I would have bet it was ICS because she treated me the same way. I'm really surprised it was NG, too.

I would have bet it was ICS too. I do not order from NG often, but all of my experiences have been good ones in the way of customer service and prompt shipping.

I can't stand that FO. Anybody wanna buy it from me.

LOL! I have a whole 16 ouncer of this scent. I am not fond of it either. BCN has sold this scent for years. I am not fond of anything violet. I think that violet smells like Raid.

Purely Herbal

What I don't understand is how BCN and BCS are so different. The two companies are night and day. BCN has more sales that BCS, but most of the time it is just not worth it to order from BCN. My shipping from BCN has always been beyond reasonable. This is why I have stuck with them. However, I never order from them when I am in a pinch. It just takes too long.

I am sorry jeanie353 that your order is taking so long to reach you. I never order much from BCN. They always take so long to ship. BCS is so much better.

Sorry! I should have written Oatmeal Milk and Honey. There are lots of good ones out there. Brambleberry has a very nice one. I also like the one from WSP.

I cannot tolerate patchouli, musk, evergreen, woods nor pink sugars and many seasoned sellers here, who would know, would tell you that those make up their top seller list!

I am totally with you when it comes to patchouli, woodsy scents and Pink Sugar. I cannot STAND patchouli, but it is a good blender. Pink Sugar is disgustingly sweet- really vile in my opinion, as is Love Spell. However, just because a scent is a top seller for many, it does not mean that the scent is "loved by all". To me the only scent that comes close to being loved by all is OMH. In all of my years selling, I have never come across a single person who said that they did not at the very least 'like" OMH. Love is a tough one. I have never found a scent that the whole world loves.

You are very talented!

I agree with Candybee. The Chemistry Store has all of the Stephenson's bases and is the most cost effective in the way of shipping. I order from them all of the time and they have wonderful vanilla stable base. I get base from BCN only when I want to be cost effective with my shipping. If is only a small increase in shipping to add a few 2 pounders of soap base to my existiing order, then it is worth it to me.

Are you also willing to have a storefront set up ( even if it's in your home ) where people can come by and sniff the oils.

There are plenty of companies that do not have storefronts for people to sniff their oils. This is really not a factor at all. However, I agree with pretty much everything else that you said though.

I have ZERO loyalty when it comes to trying new fragrances from a reputable supplier that I have not tried yet. Of course I am loyal to companies that have provided good customer service and great products. I will always order from these favorite suppliers. However, I would never hesitate to purchase from a new supplier if I have heard good reviews about the company.

Very nice!

I have used BCN clear base. I thought it was pretty darn clear. But this is to my eye. I really just look for clear base. I do not do any projects requiring super clear base, so honestly I am not looking for that glass look and probably don't notice it.

Everything is lovely. My favorite is the last one. Your kiwi fruits look fantastic!

I think that it looks TOTALLY yummy.

You did a stunning job on everything! My favorite is your beautiful rainbow layer. If I did this, mine would separate no matter what I did to prevent it.
