TCS-The Candle Source, The Candlemaker's Store, Texas Candle Supply

BW-Backwoods

JS-Just Scent

CW-Candle Wic

That's all I can think of.

From Flaming I have enjoyed a few, but better get with enjoying some more. 

Black Cedarwood Juniper mixed with frosted pine cones (both from there) turned into something a shop wanted

Beautiful Day has its own following, but I do like the wax in  my application

I really must get with it on the remaining bottles I have. 

 

Aztec is much the same way, but Barnwood has done quite well. The rest I better get with it and start seeing how it does as well or I'll never get to order most scents, though I've yet to tell the partner we're getting some spearmint EO ... now just to get the basil complement.

I've only ordered from 5 suppliers so far but my top 3 are

 

1.  Peaks

2. RE

3. The candlemakers store (25 mins away)

 

Peaks and RE for fragrances, TCS for wax, wicks, jars, dyes.   I do use TCS for some of my fragrances.  However usually, I end up being disappointed with their fragrances. Many times they are not very accurate to the name, weaker than others I've tried, and it's a real gamble because there are no descriptions and no reviews. 

 

I've also tried NG.  They are hit or miss with my wax. 

 

CC has great scents but for some reason need forever (4 weeks or more) to cure and throw well in my wax.  But, their frank flies right off the shelf.  I haven't found one that compares to it yet.

 

Thanks to this thread I just found out that The candle source is also within driving distance so I'll be checking them out as well.

Yep....

I still have CS as one of my top but I now use more 

WSP

SC

Over peak and JS

 

 

SC...southwest candle?  What's your reasoning for not using peak as much?  Ordering, shipping, quality, scent throw?  They have a couple oils I use but am testing around for replacements (trying to keep less suppliers as possible), so debating on keeping peak or not as one.  Their name seems very highly known and used so it's hard for me to drop them.  However, it's hard to drop any that have good oils, if even a few.  Argh!  *shudder*

Now my top 3 suppliers are:

 

#1:     Flaming Candle

#2:     Candle Science

#3:     Fragrance Buddy and Fillmore tied
