justajesuschick Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I choose poorly with no descriptions. So far I have a few Yankee scents in my cart. Have any favs from them in bakery, fruit or spicy scents? I am a sucker for sweet FO's and not crazy about nutty scents. I'd really be open to about any to make my order worth it. Thanks!

Faerywren Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I use quite a few that I like. I have chosen some duds and those were dupes that didn't smell anything like the originals (Twilight Woods and Dark Kiss---waaaay off)!I love their Midnight Pomegranate. It is a huge seller for me. One of my all time favorites of theirs is Blackberry Amber. I also like Lemon Custard, Fir Clove, Pumpkin Cornbread, Sea Blossom and many others.

justajesuschick Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thank you! You gave me some that were not on my list. I sure appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I do recommend getting the sample sizes for new/untried scents, though. I have chosen quite a few I didn't care for. Other people may have thought they smelled good, but they just weren't my cup of tea. Most of those were FOs with names that gave no idea what they smelled like (Egyptian Dragon, Celestial are two I can think of right off hand). I never bothered to pour them, so don't know if they bloom into something better in wax or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hot orange danish, white cake and grapefruit vanilla are all three great bakery from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've never been on their site before...they don't give a description? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 FW- I get small/samples from every supplier first. Makes no sense to order big bottles since my ratio of try to keep is s small. I cannot imagine that I'd have over 500 1lb bottles in my wax room when I just use about 40!Lorelei-thanks for the suggestions!Daisy-you got it. Over 1000 FO's but no descriptions. I understand their reasoning which is that scent is subjective but scents all have notes. I'd order far more from them if I even knew that. Too hard to know which of their Christmas named scents have evergreen or not, for example. This order looks like almost all dupes. At least I know what those are supposed to smell like. I am too safe a person for their reasoning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you're a sucker for sweet...throw a sample of Winter Cranberry in there. You may like that one too. Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcuset Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Most welcome. Yep, I think you may like it then. No spice, lots of sweet & tart. I think I have the full gamut of cranberry blends in my cupboard, but they are keepers! (The fo addicts mantra) Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda a bummer, I could be missing out on some good ones:cry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I know they may be more seasonal type fragrances but their Spiced Plum and Cinnamon Cranberry are really good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I think I am going to order kind of light, try the 9 I have chosen and see how I do from there. How it normally works for me, I will like 1 and then pay full shipping to get 1, 16 oz. bottle!!Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of trying a few. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I just poured them yesterday. I will wait to melt to know for certain but I was not super excited over any of them. Farmer's Market-Yankee type smells like Amish Harvest, not like Yankee's fruity version with light spice at all. Midnight Pomegranate, BBW type smelled like strawberry and old perfume. I used to be a Midnight Pomegranate addict. I had it in EVERY format in which it was made and this was not even close. I know, types and dupes are just that but it was nothing like what I had and used for years. I really need to focus on finding more I like with suppliers that I currently use rather than adding another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I know what you mean about adding more suppliers but I am always thinking, what if they have the 1 oil that will make that AWESOME candle. Sorry they weren't better, maybe a little cure time will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I love the pumpkin corn bread,it is strong and a good seller but get the A grade-some think there is not a difference but yeah there is a big difference.In the whiskey river it is like day and night between the grades.

Faerywren Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I use Midnight Pomegranate and mine doesn't smell like strawberries or perfume. It smells like others I've used from other suppliers and is a great seller for me. I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience, though. I have used their oils for years. I will say the last few samples I bought didn't do a thing for me, so they may not be one of my main suppliers much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Has anyone tried their Boysenberry? Just reading that name makes my mouth water. I grew up eating Boysenberry syrup (I think it was Knotts Berry Farms brand) on waffles/pancakes, etc., and would love to find a scent that smells like that syrup.

JABE Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I order from them, but mostly waxes. I tried 2 of their scents and didn't really care for them. I thought they seemed weak. I tried Cherry Float & Birthday Cake... but this was a few months ago and I mixed it in Advanced! <------ sucky wax, will never use it again. I have 90 pounds sitting here! Made pretty candles but scent throw was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
