Ditto on TCS, it is a great seller, and very strong in soy.

Oh, and hippy christmas smells just like a teacher I had in 6TH grade and I thought she had peed her pants

Hi Kim,

We understand costs, and that is a huge price increase on the Chocoate chip cookie oil, geez! Hope the dupe will work out, that is a wonderful scent. Thanks for considering the others, they are all excellent oils, as usual with your company. Keep up the good work!

Regarding Chocolate Chip Cookie...the manufacturer that I was getting it from increased their price by 52% on it!! Couldn't see charging my customers over $30/lb for Chocolate Chip Cookie ... I can't see passing that on to my customers...not that kind of pricing...but I do have a smidgen left and I'm sending it to another manufacturer that I deal with and we'll see what their "duplication" of it is ... they are really good at doing mine for me. If the price is right...I'll bring it back for everyone ... also...I'm watching this thread and will be getting Coconut, Milk & Peaches and Peanut Butter Brownie Pie plus also contemplating Raspberry Guava again.

Thanks for the compliments!! I makes me feel great that I'm able to get the high quality oils that I have for everyone!!

"Satsuma" awesome spiced orange from JS. Everyone loves it, throws great in soy as well. One of my many favorites.

I love satsuma too, but I don't consider that a spiced orange, is that what you meant?

I'd love to see the Chocolate Chip Cookies back...i've tried to find a replacement for it but nothing else compares!

That is a good one, I love it too. So is coconut milk and peaches, I forgot about that one....geez she does have a lot of good ones, I loved her Raspberry Guava, it was the best version of that scent.

My thought is that the lime cilantro will be better than BCN's lime leaf and lily and perhaps temper that sharp limey punch. OK now here's my question on the black roses ... like aren't black roses ummm not a good thing to get? I guess black roses just reminded me of bad luck and death.

:laugh2: :laugh2: I thought the same thing, I think of The Adams Family.

Hey, you should try the Gingerbread Village, it is the best gingerbread, hands down. Also Kim just PM'd me and she is going to bring back Peanutbutter Brownie Pie!!!!!! I about spewed my coffee all over the screen, that one is from a couple years ago, and it is excellent. She said it was one of her favs too

Good for you! Feels good, eh?

I also use this one and it rocks in candles, I use soy.

Great oils,

we use the

orange dreamsicle bundt cake

Iced carrot Cake

Egg Nog

choc. dipped strawberries

gingerbread house (or whatever its called!)

apple cobbler delight, excellent

euc. spearmint

Ind. Teak, just like GL

raisin bread buttercream

I wish they would bring back peanutbutter brownie pie, that was my personal favorite, it is sinful. I have a small amount left and use it for my own candles.

If it is any help to ya, I think Daystar Buttercream is a great alternative to BG. I too love their oils, and have had to find alternatives when they are out, Daystar is very close, and excellent. I agree on the Scented Bean cinnamon too, and for a great cinnamon buns, the scented bean and daystar both have great versions of this scent, too.

That is interesting.....keep up posted

Southern Vanilla from KY is awesome

Vanilla Voodoo from CC is knock ya down strong

and my new fav is JS Southern Style Vanilla, just like Ms Randys

Especially the chocolate covered strawberries, it is wonderful.

FOH has a nice one, it is my favorite.

Thanks for sharing, I haven't tested this one yet.

I agree, it smells like sugar and has a pretty decent throw, too.

I didn't care for it either, but it has a decent throw.

Cool, I already order from them, great oils.

Hey, when is the sale?

Bluegrasss, if they have it in stock This one is very strong in soy and 50/50

I would suspect whatever the base oil is in the fragrance more than the clamshell. I could be wrong, as I often am.

Most of the fragrances I use have a soy oil base. I know that many oils will attack plastics over time. Perhaps the FO has such a component.

I got my clamshells in a co-op a while back.

I am sure that is part of it, but if that is the case, how can you know which ones it will happen to? It is just too random, so I am going to discontinue them from my line at this point.

Well I pored four different Vanilla based scents several months ago and they're all EXCELLENT! No problem and my clamshells are from MC too. I've poured nearly 1,000 of these with no problem yet. Many are a year or old and still smell great!

I wish I could say the same. I just found a couple more scents (all vanilla based) that changed, Vanilla Bean Noel, Sugar Cookie and Christmas Cookie all smell like skunk, too. Yet Southern Vanilla from KY, Ultimate Vanilla from JS, and Mexican Vanilla from JBN are fine.....so strange.

Thanks to those that mentioned they are experiencing this too. It appears that we are having issues with the same clamshells. It seems to be few and far between, but when you pour thousands of these babies, you don't want to throw them out. I just lost over $1,000 from the few scents I have found that have gone bad. I honestly didn't even consider this being an issue when I decided to carry these in our line, and they are so popular with our stores. I shudder to think of what I will be encountering if they have any old stock that has turned. I am very hesitant to use a different brand now, the ol' pocket book can't afford to toss away good supplies if this continues to be an issue.:undecided

I've only used Millcreek's clamshells and haven't noticed any plastic smell at all. I even asked my friends who buy them from me (I know they will be honest) and they said they haven't noticed it either.

Like I said I didn't notice it in all scents. It was with some vanilla scents, yet others were fine---go figure. It was very random. Just not sure what the deal is. Obviously there is a chemical reaction with certain FO's....

I have had some that were made 2 years ago and smell stronger than ever. No plastic smell whatsoever.

What brand are yours, please? I am very interested in finding a different source! I just had to chuck quite a few of mine. Some were fine, and they were from BCN. Must be made of different materials. I prefer the look of Millcreeks, they are thicker and seem to hold up better, but with the current situation I am not going to be using this brand anymore.

Try Vanilla Sugar Cookie from Taylored Concepts, it rocks! I also use Sissy's, it has a bit of cinnamon, but so strong.
