    And the obsession begins.....

    in Fragrance Discussion

    Posted

    Grrrr ... ok, since I need to place an order for a few OOS FOs, I shall sneak this one in ... tell me now if I need to sneak others in because I'm going to have to behave here pretty soon :P:laugh2:

    Eeek! I don't want to be known as a dreaded "enabler" (lol), but if you haven't tried the Precious Gifts or the Cranberry Cassia Root, they are worth a sniff. I had gotten a Precious Gifts tart a while back and fell in love with the scent. Haven't done anything with the Cranberry one yet. It's divine OOB...smells so different from every other cranberry scent I have tried. Even though these sound like holiday scents, I would most definitely use them year round.

    Why's it up my alley? I really need to get the green amber into something, but I like the freshness of it. I also need to get with it on the orange moonstone one before I sniff the bottle dry.

    Suzy ... get used to this lol.

    Well, like Lorelei said, it is a "beautiful, complex fragrance". It is unusual and reminds me of patch, yet is so different. And...I know what a patch fan you are! :)

    That Mystic Orange Moonstone is another special one. I could smell that one all day. It's wonderful!

    I'll add to your misery Val ... seek out their scent Fierce ... it's fiercely sexy, imo.

    Give that green amber another chance. I really like OOB and will be looking forward to getting it into some things soon.

    Yellow Polka Dot bikini is fun.

    So is Purple Hooters

    and I have to say that when I reorder Jungle Love and Monkey Farts, I'll sneak some absinthe in there. I keep bypassing it.

    LOL

    I fully intended to get the Fierce. Remembered it AFTER I hit the "confirm" button. lol I'll get it on the next order.

    Okay, so I ordered the Green Amber and, while I waited for it to come in, melted these tarts that I got from someone else in that scent...just didn't love it as much as I thought I would. Gonna try again though...maybe in incense or a room spray.

    For sure, don't forget the Absinthe...a truly unique scent. I think it is just up your alley! lol

    nmhoneybear, I may be wrong, but I believe you're going to love Absinthe.

    Took me months to take the plunge and now I could kick myself for not ordering it sooner. Hard to describe, with a slight bitterness to it, but quite hypnotic, IMHO. Let us know what you think of it :)

    You're so right about the Absinthe, Ravens. It is deliriously good...something really special about it. And these are only OOB impressions, but here goes:

    Honey Vanilla Love Dust - this one smells good enough to drink...LOVE IT!

    Bite Me - got a scrub in this in a swap and loved the strong cherry scent

    Love Juice - a different kind of citrus

    Almond Rum Cake - Mmmmm...I smell all three things

    Pizza (I know, yuck...but I'm curious...lol) - regretting this one! PLEASE don't make me sniff this one again! YUCK!!!!

    Tooth Fairy Taffy - smells a lot like Doodle Bug to me...bubble gum & cream soda

    Absinthe - love it...would make a great incense or room spray

    Carrot Cupcake - a sweeter carrot scent than I am used to, can't wait to pour this one

    Cranberry Cassia Root - wow! very nice...may be one of my new favorites

    Green Amber - stronger on the green notes, not liking this as much as I thought I would :(

    Mystic Orange Moonstone - omg...loving this one...unique for sure

    Guardian Angel - similar to Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume

    Angels Whispering - what a beautiful scent

    Mexican Fried Ice Cream - another one good enough to drink

    Cashmere & Silk - a little light, but a pretty scent

    Vanda Orchid - can't stop sniffing this one

    Vanilla Extract - good dupe, but wish it were a stronger

    Bamboo Hemp - eh...different...definitely an outdoorsy smell

    Baby Bee Buttermilk - yummy

    Niagara Falls - smelling mostly fruits in this one...love it!

    Blue Hawaiian - super strong, making me antsy for our cruise in June :)

    Sun, Moon, & Stars - nice!

    Sun Your Buns - liking this one better than the Hawaiian Suntan

    Lick Me All Over - sexy, fruity scent...mmmm

    Looks like the only one I am getting that matches yours is the Lick Me All Over. I have heard that it is really good.

    Yep, you'll have plenty of time to test before Christmas, but you will for sure be needing more FO, unless you got big botles. Frosted Lime Cupcake is a must-have scent from NG, though not a holiday scent.

    Here's what I have coming:

    Honey Vanilla Love Dust

    Bite Me

    Love Juice

    Almond Rum Cake

    Pizza (I know, yuck...but I'm curious...lol)

    Tooth Fairy Taffy

    Absinthe

    Carrot Cupcake

    Cranberry Cassia Root

    Green Amber

    Mystic Orange Moonstone

    Guardian Angel

    Angels Whispering

    Mexican Fried Ice Cream

    Cashmere & Silk

    Vanda Orchid

    Vanilla Extract

    Bamboo Hemp

    Baby Bee Buttermilk

    Niagara Falls

    Blue Hawaiian

    Sun, Moon, & Stars

    Sun Your Buns

    Lick Me All Over

    :rolleyes2

    Zucchini Bread

    I love both Zucchini Breads...the ones from Candle Source and KY. IMO they are both awesome. I am hard pressed to pick which one I like better. I've also heard that Miami-Erie Candle Supply's Amish Friendship Bread is comparable to a zucchini Bread, but I haven't tried it yet. One of these days I'll get around to it.

    First Orders...How'd I do?

    Looks like you done good! lol

    Only with all of those luscious FO's you got, especially from KY, you might wish you had gotten more of their tart wax. You will go through 5 pounds in no time flat! They do have the best Zucchini Bread FO. It is one you will not want to stop sniffing!

    NG's prices going up in March

    I better order another case of my votive wax then before the price goes up. Boy, this sure is an expensive hobby! lol

    Prices of everything will be going up due to the increase in oil prices. Anyone using paraffin wax will most likely see a huge price increase fairly soon.

    One of the suppliers that I buy wax from is charging $77/cs but the same wax at a different supplier is already over $100/cs.

    Im SO glad you posted! I just found the one on the NG site & I added it to my cart!!!!! I'll take it out & keep looking. thanks so much

    Oh wait....I just went back to NG & theirs is called: Hawaiian Suntan. Maybe this is a new one for them. I might still try it. I'll let you know how it is....

    Wait again!!! I just scrolled down & read the NG reviews & NONE of them are good. Nevermind. Back OUT of the cart!

    I just poured the Hawaiian Suntan from NG the other day and it didn't pass my test. Although it is nice, it's not eactly the match I'm looking for. The search goes on. lol

    NG order

    Um if you don't fall for Green Amber ... I will feel badly for you LOL!

    Between it and their new Fierce, plus a few others, I think my nose is on a new high. Not sure what I think of their race car whatever scent it is called, but the rest I got, I do like, some better than others. Now the testing will begin.

    Darn you! lol

    Now I gotta go look up the description of Fierce! Been trying to do an NG order all week and the list keeps getting longer and longer. lol

    I am so pathetic! :rolleyes2

    I have the Hand & Body Lotion Base, and my husband, who has really dry skin, loves the stuff. I haven't used it myself yet because I have SO many other body butters from swaps (lol), but he has been raving about it. On the other hand, my youngest daughter says it is not moisturizing enough for her. I always have compared her skin to my hubby's, but I think hers may be a bit drier.

    HTH :)

    That's why I ordered Val, lol. I may kick myself though for what I got, but definitely put the green amber in there and then I'm trying some of the fun ones ... burning rubber, which I probably should have passed on, but we have people ask for that all the time. We'll see.

    LOL Yep, the Green Amber is first on my list. That and the Mystic Orange Moonstone. I'm curious about the Bacon and Pizza FO, though. Do ya think it's mean to make Buttermilk Pancake, Maple Syrup, and Bacon FO and trick my family on April Fool's Day? lol If I did that, I would take them out for breakfast and then make the real deal the next day to make up for it. :)

    Just Scents - I often read they are weak. True or False?

    It was one of 3 out of a couple hundred that I tested that actually did throw for me and when I got the chance to buy cheap from someone going oob, I did. They sold well. Since then, I've heard via several people here that the C&BS formula changed, and it's no good anymore.

    Ugh! I am not happy to hear this at all. I just recently got a pound of it...and I'm not even selling yet. Oh well, I am going to pour some today and test it anyway.
