doglvr Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've never ordered from Elements, but want to. I was wondering if anyone knows - is their 1.00 sample vial enough to do anything with? Like make one tart maybe or is it just for OOB sniffing?My list is soooooooooo long after reading all of their scents. I read past posts and I know the Flicker fragrances are very popular. Thanks if anyone can help!Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie123 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Did you read this?http://www.elementsbathandbody.com/Sample-Vial-Testing-c-321.htmlTheir sample vial do not contain much but from the sample I have here, I think that you could make a few small tarts melt. 50 ml of wax @ 2% would be 1ml with that said I think that their FO are better for B&B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I order from Elements and tend to discard those sample FO vials. I just open them up, take a sniff, and toss. Its only about 1/2 tsp. I can't do anything with that.They do have some good FOs thou. Like anyone else they can be hit or miss but for me they are more hit than miss. I am one that misses the old Flickers and still buy some of the scents they carry from them. These work great in soap and candles: Rocky Mtn., Patchouli Honey (a best seller for years), Tuscan Lace. They have a green tea that is so fresh and clean I just love it but have only used it in M&P. I have tried a lot of their FOs really and like many of them. The Manuka (sp?) Lavender and their Honey L'Octaine, and Tropical White Musk are also very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks! I know they say good with paraffin and soy, but I wondered since it seems more geared to bath and boy. Think I'll try a few... what's a few more FO's right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've had great luck with these in candlesbalsam & citrus...one of my favskaiTuscan lacecranberry ginger spice tea, which was a flickers fragrance and was discontinued. Sorry I'm even mentioning it...but it was absolutelymy very favorite holiday scent. I've got a pound that I'm hoarding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 They carry some great FOs; one of my favorite suppliers for FOs, but like Candybee mentioned, I just sniff their sample vials, as there just isn't enough to do anything with them.If you like Dragon's Blood, Elements' got the best, imho.

annie123 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 There are 2 sizes of sample vials. The free one Element puts in your order is minuscule. The one for sale is much larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Its a mellow sweet lavender with an herbal note. Honestly very nice, spa worthy scent. I have since tried the Juniper Aloe and it is now one of my top sellers in soaps and lotions. Since this thread was started I have switched a few of my scents for Elements. I also use (flicker's) Sea Island Grapefruit. It makes awesome CP soap. I would never hesitate to try out another FO of theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
