so-soy

Ok guys I got the sample of myrrh today and I have to say this is one of the most unique scents I’ve smelled. I love this…if it does well in my pure soy this will be an addition. Do not smell it out of bottle only…get it on a blotter strip let it breath then sniff…you all need to try this one. I bought one of each of her scents there are some really unique scents…I was getting tired of the same old same old. 

Can’t wait to try this one when it comes! 

Yes it was! And the fragrances were so much stronger and IMO just so much better smelling…those just starting out in the last couple years really don’t know what great fragrances we used to get…

Found a blast from the past…anyone remember Daystars Frosted Indulgence fragrance oil? I believe I just bought a candle from Goose Creek that smells just like that oil…it’s their Candy Corn 3 wick candle. And it’s super strong too. As soon as I smelled it I knew I smelled it before…it kept bugging me…I was sure it was either a Daystar or a Just Scent fragrance…then it came to me Daystars Frosted Indulgence. Now is it the same? IDK, but this is what my brain remembers it as! LOL They sure had some really nice oils back in the day. 

Exactly. It’s sad to me because I think elements had more unique scents and not so much the typical scents that you see now with these companies that have popped up in the last 3 years or so. 

here’s what I heard back from them. 

I just went to the site to order some oils and it looks like they are all (or most) being discontinued as they are all marked down as closeouts.  I have sent a message in to them asking whats going on and what is going to happen to all of the Fragrance oil Heaven oils...if they will sell them to someone else or not.  This is a lot of scents that will be gone. Unreal and so disappointing. 

*edited to add, I know they were bought out by that conglomerate company thingy...I just hope this isn't a sign of what they will do to the other companies they bought out.

I’m interested! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the samples.

Adding, I’m happy to co-op this exact one if we can combine 25 lbs of interest. 
As-is from elements the price starts at $28

plus:

freight

bottle

payment fees

shipping to you.

 

for $28 per lb, their old retail, we should try to negotiate them bottling it.  heck, if they did the co-op part with our 25 lb of interest it would benefit everyone. If as few as 5 of us preorder 5 lbs each it should make it simple for them to treat as a normal order with no risk. 
 

That would be great if they would order it in if we had 25 lbs sold.

Yes I thought so too.  Wish we could find out who the manufacturer is. But maybe a co-op could be the answer…I’m shocked they aren’t offering a price break for the bulk orders. 

Yes they will special order the 25 lb drum for $701. With shipping that will get quite expensive. 

Hello all, unfortunately my favorite and best selling pine scent has been discontinued from Elements. Anyone know of a dupe or good replacement for Rocky Mountain Christmas? 

The new Oceanside scent from Midwest is my favorite so far...there's just something about this oil, I can't stop smelling it.  I also love their Lilac FO, it's the truest smelling lilac I've ever tried.  Natures Garden Mango Sorbet is one of my favs for summer.  It's so juicy smelling it makes my mouth water...

It does smell like that one a lot! I think the one from Midwest is richer though. I sniffed them side by side and they're both great!

Nice!! Good to know, since I would rather order from MWFC than RE.

I just got an order in today from Midwest and their Blazing Bonfire is AMAZING!!! If you haven't tried it you need to. 

It is a great scent!!  It smells like Bonfire Bliss from RE. 

Hello all, I received an email a couple weeks ago from Daystar saying she’s back open and selling her fragrance oils again. Did anyone else see that and has any one bought oils from her lately?? The site doesn’t list any IFRA/usage rates for soap. I remember years ago her oils were really nice in soap and I used to use a couple in soap and soy wax.

I love their Wick Your Wax fragrances. Too bad there have been manufacturing changes to those scents over the years.

 

WYW was a Canadian company back in the early 2000s. They had THE most awesome fragrances (for that time) that money could buy. Still pretty nice.

Have the WYW oils really changed?  I just bought a coupe believing they were the same oils as always since I haven't read anywhere that they have been changed in any way.  Crap.  Thats a lot of wasted money if they aren't the same.  I am pouring today so will see what happens when I test burn.  

Hello! Thanks for responding!! I haven’t tried the Amber from BB or SC’s...I will look into the SC’s one. I wish this wasn’t such a hard scent to find. I do want one that can be used in Soy and also cp soap, which might be wishful thinking since I do remember how hard these are to wick. 

Hi all! Does anyone know of a straight up Amber fragrance oil? I used to use the Amber from Tony’s then it became Southern Garden Scents. Now neither exist and I have a tiny amount of this oil left that I would love to be able to find another one as close to it as possible. I just want an amber that is a warm scent, not with any perfumey tones to it. Any ideas?? 

Hello everyone! I am in desperate need of help with JS’s Pumpkin Spice Latte. I’m testing it in pure soy gb415 with cd wicks at 7% and I can not get a strong throw from this one. Also a 7-10 day cure. I am reading you guys are getting a strong throw? What’s the secret?? LOL Does it need a longer cure time? Higher percentage? I really like the scent but I can barely smell it. Having same exact issue with the Pumpkin Cookie Crunch...reviews on website of these say they are strong scents...Thanks for any help you can offer!! 

Add Lonestar to this list. Just got an email saying they are closed til the 7th for sure maybe longer.

Sure hope they all can survive this. We need these suppliers! 🥺

Bittercreek just posted they have to shut down starting tomorrow, due to orders from the governor. Any other companies having to shut down? 

Ok great! Thank you! 

Hello! I’m wondering if there is a flat cotton wick that you don’t see the braids in? I also can’t remember if the pure cotton wicks were round wicks or not...(the 60c and 62c etc) anyone know? I’m wanting a cotton wick that doesn’t curl to one side like the cd’s do. It’s for soy. Thanks!
