Great! Does that mean I need to get both?

Has anyone tried WSP's dupe of B&BW's "Hello Sugar" yet?

I had a chance to smell a sniffie of Daystar's, but was wondering how WSP's is. I'm hoping it has that cakey & sugar note to it & isn't too lemony. Eventually I will have to break down & buy it, but was curious if anyone has tried it already. thanks

I totally agree with SoapSilly's (now Daystar) Sweet Pumpkin. Another really great one that sounds like the type you are looking for is the one from The Candle Source. It is called Pumpkin & Vanilla. The slight vanilla in it really calms any spice & makes it much more pumpkiney & not very spicey, like most others. It really runs a very close 2nd to SS's.

Oh my! I just found what you were talking about! I checked the message boards on WSP and there is a vanilla browning neutralizer for lotions! Here's the link: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=3562

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction scentsme!

you're welcome;)

I think I've seen it at Wholesalesuppliesplus & possibly BitterCreek

ooh, Pumpkin Souffle? Who has this?

does this link help in any way: http://www.candlesupply.com/converter.html

I've seen it at these 2 places:

www.exoticfragrances.com

&

www.goldstarfragrances.com

I've only heard of reviews from Exotic fragrances & they seem to be favorable(but expensive). As for Goldstar, I haven't heard any reviews about their oils, but their collection & prices seem similar.

Has anyone tried the Moisturizing Body Spray base from Fragrances By Design? I was thinking of adding a sample to my cart to try. It says it's a yellowish colored base & takes 3%-10% scent. Not sure about the "yellowish", but I like that it can take a higher FO load. Just wondering if anyone uses this. Thanks

(here are the indgredients: INCI Ingredients: Water, Surfactant, 1,4 - Dimethyl -3,6-Dioxa-1-Heptanol, 1,2,3-Propanetriol, 1,3-Dimethylol-5,5-DiMethyl Hydantoin, Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT))

I like WSP's Strawberry as well as the Strawberry Jam for straight strawberry (but I only do B&. My alltime favorite strawberry though, is Strawberry White Cake from Just Scent. In lotions & sprays, you just get strong, fresh strawberry, but in wax you might pick up the cake notes. I'm all out of sniffie vials & am waiting to order more in the upcoming week, or I'd gladly send you sniffies. If you want, I could do the "FO on a cotton ball in a baggie" version of a sniffy. Just pm me if you'd like them.

Everything looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE your labels & I really like the white lettering on a black background alot. It's different. It's upscale, the photos are beautiful. BRAVO!

I sell mine in 2 ounce jars so maybe the majority are using it up before it has a chance to turn.

April

that's a really good point!

I am looking for a good Raspberry fo, that is only straight up raspberry, no blends, for B&B. So far I have tried a few of the B&BW Sun RIpened Raspberries dupes, Raspberry Seeds from Soap Silly and Wild Raspberry from Peaks. Is there one out there that I'm missing that reallly smells like the berries? thanks

Shamrock Pie?

Shamrock Shake?

Grasshopper Cheesecake

Thin Mint Cheesecake

Andes Candies Cheesecake

ChocoMint Cheesecake

Mint Kissed Chocolate Cheesecake

There was a sale code for Ingredients To Die For good through next Tuesday & I thought I saved the email, but I didn't. Does anyone have the code or the newsletter/email? thanks

Never Mind!!! I just found it in my "trash" folder.....thanks anyway!!!

I think I remember reading about a good one at Fragrance Oil Heaven.

I think to send as sniffies in order to get a "rough" idea of what a scent smells like OOB, it usually is fine. Also, to get a "rough" idea of what 2 or more scents "may" smell together as a blend, it's a way to get a "rough idea". I only do B&B, so for me, it helps when I want to come up with fun blends. I know that a FO in application often smells much different(& sometimes totally different) than OOB, but I'm weird in some ways: if I HATE a FO OOB, 90% of the time, it gets thrown in the box of oils I don't use. I know that's not fair to the FO( ), but it's ok, because I have way too many FO's to begin with! But yea, IMO, the whole Q-tip thing is really for a quick whiff to quench your OOB curiosity(& sometimes works to trade sniffies, especially if it's a really expensive oil & someone can only spare a swab).

I get a strong and distinct Strawberry/Cherry note in this one. Sweet, yes. Straight buttercream, not to my nose...

I totally agree, there sure is a strong smell of "pink" in this cupcake.

you must get Chestnuts & Brown Sugar

I just 'paint' my fragrance on with a paint brush. It doesnt take much at all. I do one side, let dry, do the other, then repeat the process, and package when dry. I measured it one day, and it came to about 1/10 oz of FO per blank.

I do it the same way here too. (so no, it doesn't use 1/2 ounce of FO per card)

I love ICS too!!!

I make a combo of Violet & Marshmallow & it's great! (wsp's violet bouquet & ss's marshmallow)

I only do B&B(no candles), but they are my favorite FO supplier.

does any one know how to keep these two items from turning brown,,, I use the soy whip and call it frosting and i call the glaze soft and silky body glaze.

I tested the soy whip for a while(& was going to market it as a soy butter) & although I just love the texture & testers loved it too, I am not going to end up using this product because it turns brown with the majority of the fo's. I can understand if it just turned with a few, but it is with most. I'm bummed, because we all really liked this base alot. I usually make myself a tester & then my "testers" get a tester. Well, 2 people(friends) loved this stuff so much, that they just had me make products for themselves to use, before my testing was complete! Now, months later, they are finally fessing up to me, that they all turned brown!!!! They didn't want to tell me because they didn't want me to feel bad! (I'm glad they aren't testers!). So, that's just my story. Very sad because it is quite a nice product.
