Whats That Smell

I understand that Stacy is a member here - and is advertised here - and that any negative comments regarding her FO's are immediately defended. I admire the loyalty. I also understand that I'm new, and therefore, have no credibility. That said, the fact that the owner is known & loved, and I am neither does not lessen the truth that a few of the oils I purchased from her are weak-smelling OOB. I have a point of reference for one of the scents I purchased. Having purchased it before - diluted - the diluted oil was stronger. This could simply be a manufacturing difference, I don't know. I'm not out to bash Stacy or Daystar. Seeing as she is my sister in Christ, I'm not even 'allowed' to do such a thing. I found this place by searching for "weak fragrance oils", and threw my two cents in before I realized she was a member, or saw her advertisement. Seeing as there is no return policy (which is understandable w/ all the nutjobs in the world), I did a lot of research on Daystar before purchasing. There were several instances where some people had a problem w/ Daystar's oils being weak. Daystar has FO's that NO ONE else has, so it was worth taking the chance on it, and I'm glad I did, regardless of being disappointed with the weakness of a few of the oils.

I have no idea what I'm doing, so I ask forgiveness of my stupidity in advance. I know that the FO itself can crystallize, b/c the supplier was kind enough to put a label on the bottle informing me of this fact. Is it normal for a FO to go wonky if you cut it with JoJoba oil? I'm wondering if perhaps I purchased a bottle of G-d-only-knows-what kind of oil, and it's not the "Lite JoJoba" oil it claims to be, or if this is at all normal.

Hey I wanted to let you know that I finally found a place that has a good sample deal... at least, I think it's a good sample deal. I don't make candles or anything, I'm only in it for the dupes, so this may not be such wonderful news to you guys, but... You can get 5 1ml samples for 3$ - shipping included - from Southern Garden Scents. http://southerngardenscents.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30&zenid=c99c6157c6b50fea569e07b42bcbeea1 The samples I've received were not weak. I've purchased from Peak before, and they are definitely not weak. I just purchased from Daystar, and... one bottle smells quite like nothing at all. The others seem very weak, but this may be b/c the oils need to be put in something before they "bloom" or whatever? I don't know... I's ignant - please excuze
