Beezy

I hear they don't do as well in 100% Soy... I use paraffin wax for my tarts, and the BB scents from JS are getting TONS of re-orders.

My all time FAVORITE is Blonde Moment.. I just ordered 5 more pounds..LOL

Orange Juice Cake has been getting RAVE reviews from my customers, as well as Orange Sherbet.

ya right. I can almost get two bottles for the price they want for one.

Blonde Moment from Just Scent

Try this: AMERICANA: A blend of Blue Sugar,Strawberry and Vanilla Bean. (equal parts)

Can't say about Just Scents but I do know NG has a fan page or business page. Deb was using her personal for quite some time till she maxed out her friends allowed LOL She has since changed it over to here: https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/naturesgardencompany

Oops, You're right.. Natures Garden has a Fan page now!!

I have a FAN page. I never did understand why a lot of Vendors use their personal account as their fan page.

I think it may be laziness? It does take a bit more time to setup a fan page/add tabs, but it's so worth it.

I noticed Just Scent and Natures Garden don't have a "Fan page", They just have a regular account, so you HAVE to send a friends request, in order to post on their pages.

I'm curious, How many of you are taking advantage of Facebook, and utilizing all the "Vendor" pages as a tool to generate/promote your business?

Are there any scents you just can't find to match your expectations and you keep trying over and over and over with new suppliers? I often find I have to blend to find perfection but there's still a handful that I can't find "off the shelf" or even blend to be able to be truly happy.

Here's my list, what's yours? I have tried at least SEVEN fo's plus my own endless blending for each of these and still I'm not thrilled......

Sugar Cookie (AH Sugared Shortbread winner so far, testing Fillmore now and might be it)

Butter Rum (I give up)

Coconut (BCN the winner so far)

Cotton Candy (I have several I like and just need to decide and stick to it!)

Salty Air (Daystar Salty Sailor winner so far)

Buttercream (I give up)

Coconut Cream Pie (KY is the winner so far but find it to be weak, accurate, but weak)

Banana (NG Bananza winner so far but not thrilled with it)

Carrot Cake (can't seem to get that cream cheese frosting note)

Birthday Cake (AH the winner so far)

Apricot (Just By Nature had the best but now I'm still hunting)

Toasted Marshmallow (KY the winner so far)

Pie Crust (only 3 FOs tested....so far! ICS seems to be ok)

Graham Cracker (only 5 FOs tested....so far!)

This is the BEST Craham Cracker, IMO

I am forever searching for the perfect coconut. I also never find the right Apple Blossom.

I think Save on Scents has the BEST Coconut on the market!

Thanks for the Feedback, everyone!

Has anyone tried their Honeydew or Whipped Cream? I have Honeydew from Lone Star, and it's so light, you can't even smell it!

Any Must haves? I was thinking about placing a small order tomorrow.

John:)

I've tried many and got a fuel smell with many of them. Someone on here, ChrisR, I think, suggested Genwax's and I LOVE it!! No fuel, true scent and good throw (but unfortunately, not b&b safe). I also liked summer dreamsicle from Lone Star (don't know if they still carry it, though)--it wasn't a true orange/vanilla, but it was a very nice scent, and no fuel. The closest Trapp version was from Willow Woods, but again, I got the dreaded fuel smell with that one. I'm sure if it's b&b safe, it would be wonderful in soaps, lotions, body sprays, etc. HTH

I use Lone Stars.. I agree with you on not enough Vanilla.. but still 100 times better than Yankme's, IMO.

Yes I agree with the Vanilla Bean Noel

Will be a good one to mix with Pink Sugar then.. Thanks!

I wish we had made arrangements to meet at the Open House!! I smelled this one and bought a sample. It is really nice but I've not poured it yet. I'll let you know! It has a very vanilla note, very nice one.

I was talking to a friend, and she said it smelled kinda like JS Vanilla Bean Noel.. Do you get that, too?

I'm going to go ahead and order a pound.

IMO Lone Star has the WORST customer service. I will no longer be ordering my wax from them. I will only order a small number of oils from them.

Did anyone order/try any of the new oils from the Open House?

I'm curious about Cotton Headed Ninny Muggin FO.. I'm going to be placing a $600 order tonight.. Wanted to see if I should order 1 or 2 pounds. :rolleyes2

I always thought Save on Scents was better formulated to be used for bath and body although it could be used for candles, however, their claim to fame is for bath and body FO's. Am I mistaken?

I actually just ordered 2 pounds of SOS Pink Sugar [type] about 30 minutes ago...I like they they offer free shipping if you spend $100.. and 4 free 1 oz samples (you get to choose two of them)

So i'm excited to see if it's better than Nature Gardens Pink Sugar.

i'm using Natures Garden's right now.. waiting for a test batch of tarts from another Vendor (a friend who has their own business) If I like it, I'll be ordering the Pink Sugar from Save On Scents, and keep the Natures Garden's Pink Sugar to use for blends.

I like Save On Scent's Key Lime Pie

I use WSP Cotton Candy (496), It's actually my TOP seller.

Oh GOSH! Thanks! I guess i'll be ordering some next week!

Does anyone have Light Blue Sky from DS?

Has the formula changed? (I guess it was Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies formula)

Just wanted to make sure before I placed an order with DS.

Any other oils that are really good from DS?

:rolleyes2

Thanks!

John

No problem, So-Soy...

Also, according to the owner of Just Scents, They don't plan on discontinuing the BB line anytime soon.... the only time they would discontinue a scent is if it wasn't selling well.

OK, So i've been really busy with orders.. BUT, the BB's from JS are excellent in paraffin (tarts).. My favorite is Blonde Moment!!! (It smells like Sweet tarts, the candy) I've had the same tart going in the electric warmer since last night.. and I'm still getting whiffs of it here and there..

The Orange Juice Cake is nothing to Facebook/blog about.. But it may be because i'm not into cakey-bakery scents.

The Orange Sherbet is delicious, too!

VERY impressed with these oils!

If anyone was thinking about ordering Fruitopia from Taylored Conceps, Don't.:lipsrseal

I drank the Fruitopia drink during my Jr high/High School years, daily. TC's Fruitopia smells nothing like it, nor does it smell good, period.

I contacted TC asking if their oil was fresh (it smells old), and was told they "Mix-To-Order", So everything is made fresh at the time your order is placed.

I'm thinking about sending the bottle back, along with some tarts so they can get an idea of what it smells like.
