I wonder if it isn't a quality issue from the manufacture, if it's a Supplier issue. (meaning they didn't shake the pail before bottling the FO, allowing more resin than usual to get bottled) It's 80-90 degrees here in WA state, tried the hot water bath, and didn't do anything. I did call the Warehouse today, and Kristine was supposed to try a Water Batch and get back to me, but didn't receive a phone call back. (will follow up tomorrow). Here's a picture I just took about 30 minutes ago.. a little easier to see against a white background: http://imgur.com/RFcrzuD

Ok, So I received an order from AH/RE yesterday. I order from them OFTEN (2-3 times a month). I have been using the KY Zucchini Bread FO for YEARS, and I have NEVER seen the oil crystalized THIS bad. Has anyone ever had this (see picture) with KY ZB? I contacted AH/RE and they claim nothing is wrong, and to just heat it up (My hot water is hot enough to burn your skin), Tried sticking it in a hot water bath without any luck. Curious if anyone has ever had this problem? Side note: I had this problem with SOS a couple years back, and the owner of SOS told me it was a quality control issue.

I heard they went to 75% off today.

I prefer http://www.uniquepacking.com/ , but http://www.giftsintl-us.com/index.php is good quality too.

Spicy.. But not like JS spicy.. Just Scents is nasty and doesn't smell anything like Zucchini Bread.. I wonder if it even sells? I tried to tell Becky that she needs to replace it, but she claims it sells so she can't just replace it. My favorite Zucchini Breads are KY (Spicy) ICS (not as Spicy), Southern Sensations Grandmas Zucchini Bread (Creamy), and NG's is good and they lowered the price (it used to be $16.99 a pound).

IMO, The dimples are caused by the wax cooling too fast. I get the dimples during the colder months (I keep it pretty cool in my house), but not during the hotter Summer months. I don't waste my time with the heat gun... Also, A few of us Vendors have came to a conclusion that the 50/50 JS wax is the same as the KY Tart/Votive wax, and NG's Pillar of Bliss.

Right now I am loving Pink Toasty Zucchini Bead: KY Zucchini Bread (30%) KY Toasted Marshmallow (40%) and KY Pink Sugar (30%) Or Aztecs Sweet Potato & Brown Sugar (70%) with ICS'/NG's Zucchini Bread (30%)

I HATE Yankme, but this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Fall scent.. I hope someone comes out with a dupe.

Thanks! I currently use NG's Fruity Rings a lot... I don't get a Fruity Pebbles scent from it, but i'm going to try the blend of Dreamsicle and Lemon Pounds cake!

Anyone know how to make this blend/where the FO is coming from? Awhile back, I was told a certain company's (that went OOB) Fruit Loops and Vanilla.. or something? let me check my Facebook messages to see if I still have it.... Any help cracking this blend would be greatly appreciated! OK. I just found the message.. I guess it's a blend of an OOB company's Fruit Loops, a bit of Vanilla and a little of Effervescent Pop (JS). I don't have any straight Vanilla or Effervescent Pop, so I'll have to get those and play around to see if I can get it. If anyone knows of a supplier that smells like similar, Please let me know!

I HATE it OOB, but in Soap.. Love it.. all the notes come out!

I use this in CP soap.. It does wonderful.. nice strong scent... Maybe have someone else sniff it for you, and see if THEY can smell it?

Fruit Slices, Caramel Apple, and Lemon Chiffon.

Try blending AH/RE/KY Sweet & Creamy with Aztecs Creme Brulee (or any Creme Brulee that doesn't have a chocolate/berry note to it)

Call me CRAZY, but it sorta kinda maybe smells like JS Christmas Wish.. which is a good thing.. SamAndKennasMom was kind enough to send me a a Q-tip sniffy.. and I will definitely be ordering this scent when I go for my Christmas scents from ICS... Very sweet smelling!

Good to know! I haven't had time to soap it yet.. Maybe tomorrow night, though!

If you use their oils for your Fall lineup, I would order now! They're going OOB. http://www.tennesseecandlesupplies.com/

I got my first set of FO's. They messed up two of the FO samples, and at first the lady at Aztec was trying to tell me they don't even CARRY the FO I received.. She said they haven't for two months (Pear Berry B&BW Type). Any who, my second round of oils will be here early next week.. Eeeeeek Pink Sugar: I've already used this in the past.. it's a lot sweeter than most on the market (Think KY's version) Iced Lemon Cookies: I've used this one in the past, also.. Super yummy.. and VERY strong... in wax, you can really smell the Sugar Cookie notes. Oreo Cookie Type: OOB, it smells better than a lot of the "Cookies & Cream" FO's on the market... It's not overly sweet... I'm told once wax, you can actually smell the cream filling.. Creme Burlee: OOB, stinks like crap... Reminds me of that gooey paste that comes in the metal tubes, and you roll it into a ball and stick it on a straw and blow a bubble. I've used this in a blend, so I know it does very well in wax. Dark Kiss B&BW Type: OOB, Very Close.. It has that Berry note with the musk, and it's an even balance.. not too much musk, like others on the market. Vitoria Secret Very Sexy (Both Men/Women version): Dead on.. I'm thinking these would sell well in soaps.. not so much wax... hopefully they preform well. Pear Berry: OOB, DEAD on.. I used to love this scent in lotion.. I hoarded 30 tubes when it was on sale for $3.50 a bottle, and I was being greedy and didn't end up using it all.. I think I had my hoard for 3 years.. they eventually went bad and I ended up throwing 10 bottles out.. since then, i've been Pear Berry'd out, but WOW. I love this FO. definitely going to use this sample in tarts and see how it does!

Thanks, Carol! I'm going to try making a test CP batch early next week.

Has anyone soap'd Cactus & Sea Salt from ICS? This scent is so fresh and clean, I can't get over it! lol

Pink Sugar Iced Lemon Cookies Crème Brûlée is good by itself, or blended with AH/RE KY Sweet & Creamy to make a Candy Corn. I'm told the Oreo Cookie Type is DEAD on.

Wow, so after reading so many horror stories about ICS, I am shocked right now... I was emailing Kathy back and forth.. I asked which Cinnamon Buns she liked the best (I think she has 3 versions).. any who, I was supposed to get a small sample with my order... I get my box and theres no sample... I check the mail today, and theres a small little bottle (quarter ounce?) of the sample she said she would send. BTW, the Cinnamon Buns (new) is delicious.. you can actually smell hints of bread! I'm going to make a single 2oz tart cup with this sample bottle.. I bet it's going to be SUPER strong! lol

I'm intrigued now... I will take you up on that offer! PM'ing you my address now! Thanks!

They are!!, I'm going to order the rest of the Coffee Scents! Pumpkin Spice Latte blended with KY Toasted Marshmallow is sooooo fricking amazing! I would have to gauge interest on Sugared Spruce... I don't know if my customers would go for a scent like that... is it similar to Christmas Wish? (JS' is really good)

Got my order today, and everything smells delicious OOB. LOVING Cactus & Sea Salt! H&G's House doesn't smell like OF.net's Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies to me.... OF.net's is much stronger, and has more of a Cinnamon note. H&G's House and Frosted Vanilla Grahams smell similar to me. Caramel Latte smells SOOO damn good.. Wow...
