  1. You MUST try Sugared Spruce from The Candle Source -- OMG!!
  2. Her dupes usually are spot on for me so I'd be willing to bet this one is too
  3. I haven't had to reorder Plumberry Spice yet, but the Toasted Marshmallow seemed to be the same. As far as shipping costs, I find that AH/RE is MUCH cheaper than KY -- 4 cases of wax and several pounds of oil was just over $60 shipping, where KY was always right around $90...

    Pine Cones

    If you ask me about my childhood, the first thing I think of are pinecones -- one of my chores was to pick up pinecones...let's just say as an adult I don't touch 'em My sister, though, as a cabin up in North Georgia -- you should see the size of some of the ones she's brought back down with her. Amazingly huge!!!
  5. We actually allow returns on our candles/tarts as long as they're returned in the same condition they received them. Naturally, they have to cover the shipping cost to return them (which usually keeps them from doing it), but I see no problem in allowing them to return something that you can just put back in stock to re-sell. We don't allow returns on b&b -- that's different ;-) The exception to our policy are candles/tarts that melt out of shape during summer months. USPS doesn't cover this, even with insurance, so we don't allow it.
  6. Has anyone by chance had a chance to try any of his Lush dupes?? Even if I purchased them, I'd have no idea if they'd be exact dupes or not since I've never used anything from Lush :\ Hoping someone tries them soon and posts updates...
  7. I've used a few of their oils - IMO most of the ones I have used are better suited for b&b as they just don't have a huge scent throw in parasoy. Mata Hari Black Vanilla Frosted Pink Cupcake Patchouli Musk - this one is strong in parasoy Sandalwood Rose - theirs is the best IMO cuz it's not just straight sandalwood & rose...it has musky undertones that make me swoon!
  8. Sugared Spruce and Christmas Splendor (both from The Candle Source)
  9. Unless I'm mistaken, her Fall Harvest and Harvest Moon scents are new for her -- I've been ordering from her for a few years and I've never seen them...
  10. Careful with SOS -- if you aren't a "member" you get charged a higher price for their stuff....
  11. I've never smelled Bert's FH so I'm not sure ?? Send me a PM with your name and address and I'll mail you a sniffie
  12. We received one yesterday!! When you click on the link (that is supposedly a PDF file) it only gives you the option to "Save" it to your computer instead of opening it. It's an .SCR file, which when you Google it, you find out that it's a way to install a trojan virus on your computer. Luckily, we have a few smarts when it comes to computer stuff, but I'm afraid before it's all over that there will be several people who get the virus!!
  13. Thought I'd add some more reviews since I can't seem to stop ordering these Blonde Moment -- love, love, love! Super fruity and super strong in parasoy Candy Bar Cookie - you can smell both the caramel and pecans -- great throw in parasoy Fall Harvest -- very pleased with this one; it's not just your standard orange, apple, cinnamon fragrance Coffee Cake & Spice -- not as strong/spicy as I'd like it to be; I prefer the one from The Candle Source Pumpkin Crunch Pie -- I love all pumpkins so I was pleased; may not be spicy enough for some people
  14. This is one I've passed on in the past because the description is too vague (soft powdery floral with designer perfume undertones) -- how would you describe it?? Can you detect any specific notes in it?
  15. I like the one from Just Scent -- it smells just like a nutty-type almond cookie
  16. Give a person a flavored lip balm without sweetener and they'll swear it "tastes" just like cherry (or whatever flavor it is) -- that's because the five senses we have take over and convince our brain that we actually taste something we can only smell. Same thing has happened here. Your food didn't taste like a candle...the aroma was simply present and he thought he tasted it ;-)
  17. Now there's a description I can visualize...thanks Let us know how it performs in wax!
  18. Check with Rhonda at Moonworks and see if she has any plans of reordering Gaia -- it smelled just like real earth dirt
  19. I've been using the one from KY for a few years too (I stocked up when she originally announced she was closing her doors) -- I did try the one from The Candle Source at one point. It clouded up on over 50% of my oils, whereas with the one from KY only clouds up with about 5% of my oils. Here's hoping AH/RE carries it too!
  20. Glad you loved the Caribbean Salsa -- it's simply divine!!!! I used to carry Caramel Cinnamon Latte -- I loved it, but my customers just aren't coffee fans at all I still haven't tried Citrus Linen H2O -- when you say 'clean house', do you mean like lemon clean, citrus laundry, or what? I've been trying to visualize that one in my head for a while. I was worried it wouldn't be strong enough...
  21. I placed yet another order!! This time I ordered Pumpkin Spice, Arabian Nights, and Iced Cranberry (based on the reviews) --- I also got samples of Lavender Nectar, Cinnamon Buns, Coconut Beach, Mulled Berries, and Wild Honeysuckle. Oh, and Candybee, looking forward to the reviews you post on the oils cuz you know you're gonna cave! ;-)
  22. I agree that this one is good and strong, but man it makes me sick to my stomach!! I hate that smell....had to stop carrying that one. Blech! It is a good dupe though
