Definately NG, their downy dupes are dead on in soy.

Too cute! I too have an embroidery machine and just love it. PM me and I will give you an addy of a sewing/embroidery forum I belong to. I get so many great ideas from it.

BNL sweet pea!

BNL Sweet Pea:drool: .

Hmmm....we need a supplier to figure out this mystery so we can use these! I have about 2 thousand of the wallflowers and I hate to toss them because the moment I do someone will discover how to refill them and get them to throw!

babyrn-Wow...what made you think to do vodka?...LOL...Not sure that would've even crossed my mind!!!

Depending on the type of vodka you buy it is basically 99% alcohol. Alot of "natural perfumers" make colognes and body sprays with it. I ran across the idea on the web when I googled body spray bases. Most states have laws where you cannot resell the spray if you have used vodka. I tried mixing the vodka, cyclo, & fo and it made a really good spray:) .

I too have tried everything (cyclo, vodka, 91% alcohol, straight fo, dpg, fragrance enhancer from C&S that I use for the reeds) nothing has worked. The only think that came close was the fragrance enhancer and it did an ok job for about 3 days and then nothing. So I give up!

Just got this a couple of weeks ago and I too just love it!

Late breaking news

My order from NG has arrived.:yay:5 days in transit............Not bad.

I've dipped a cotton bud in each and put them in an id marked polyethylene bag and sat the bags over a radiator.

I'm waiting for a delivery of wax ATM so I can't go into production yet.

Soooo, what are your thoughts of the oob smell so far?

I've only tried the Fantasy in GL 70/30 blend. IMO it is an exact dupe of the perfume and I got a medium cold/hot throw. You can definately smell it while it is burning but it doesn't knock your socks off like some fo's do, but I tend to find that is the case with a lot of the perfume type dupes I use.

I think alot of their oils are hit and miss. I have tried many from there and some are super strong, some super weak. I think alot of it depends on your wax too. Some that were really strong in my KY125 were weak in my GL 70/30. I definately think they are worth ordering samples from before buying larger quantities. With such a wide selection you are bound to find many that will work for you.

I've just placed an order with NG for 10 1oz testers, mainly florals from their best sellers range. Excluding postage the cost works out to just more than 1 UK pound per oz. I'm awaiting their postal charge options via email.

I think you will be really pleased with NG. They are one of my main suppliers and they have such a wide variety. Some of my favorites from there are:

Downy Clean Breeze

Hot apple pie

Banana Kiwi

Melon Mist

Downy Water Lily & jasmine

French Market

Just Scents has some really good fragrances also, but it is really hit or miss in my wax. Another supplier I use is Bittercreek North, they have a large selection of fo's that throw really well. Wick your Wax out of Canada (you can get a few of their fo's from Bittercreek here in the US) has some really good oils, they seem a little pricier at first but in general you do not have to use as much to get a really good throw. Good luck and keep us informed of how everything goes.

Every time I have ordered from MMS it has always came UPS. I'm not sure they send USPS, and I wonder what actual UPS shipping would be?

They are not one of my normal suppliers but they have 1 fo that I am just going to have to have, hawaiian paradise. Are there any others from there you can recommend so I can justify the shipping? I do soy & paraffin candles.

The one from BNL @ BCN is a dead on dupe OOB & in wax.

I got a sample of the Tutti Fruiti from BCN yesterday and it smelled just like juicy fruit gum to me!! yummmmm!!!!!!!!

The few that I have tried from there have been really good. I would definately order from again!

Can anyone recommend a good one for soy?

Oooh please do a co-op, I'd definately buy!

They are really nice there, I've never had the problem you are having but I have had them ship me the wrong oil, or I had one that leaked out everywhere. I called them and they took care of the problem and even sent a few extra samples. I would call, I know its an inconvenience waiting for the right ones but atleast you are not out the $$$$ for nothing.

BNL sweet pea from BCN throws the best for me!

Pears & Petals was a light thrower in EZsoy for me. It had a really nice smell but it wasn't knock you down strong!

I use Cierra's Grandmas kitchen too!

I prefer Peak's over BCN. IMO BCN is more cranberry and Peak's is more spicier.

I love the cinnamon cider and my secret recipe. They both throw great in GL 70/30 blend and Ezsoy.
