Spellkast Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I use a 50/50 blend to test my scents and here are some of my opinions:Hyacinth Chula Orchid- I'm not a fan of florals, but this one had a really good throw.Sweet Berry Deelites- I love this! Very strong!Creme de la Creme- I like Peak's Creme Brulee better.Lavender Vanilla- Very good blend, equal amount of lavender & vanillaCupcake- This smelled like those fake hostess cupcakes you buy at the store- I didn't like it much.Butter Cookie- This one was a bit weak for me.Buttercream Hazelnut Extraordinaire- I don't carry this one in my line, but I have some that I use for myself- I love it!Oxygen- I actually use this one for my rain scent...people LOVE it!Strawberry- Very sweet, pretty strong..doesn't smell like a "true" strawberry in my opinion. Hope that helps a bit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 You have got to try Hyacinth Chula Orchid. It is an awesome floral, even if you don't like florals (like me). It's also one of my best sellers last year - even through the holiday season, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENISE72598 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm not much of a floral person at all actually. I try to have a few dispersed throughout my line to please everybody. Thanks for all the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 My customers absolutely LOVE florals (which drives me nuts, btw). So I carry quite a few and HCA is by far one of the best I have ever smelled. It's not a heavy perfumey floral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 HCO is definitely a great floral, and I do not like most florals.I like the Creme de la Creme. It was a sugary sweet, strong scent that really lingered.It's not on your list, but if you like coffee scents, I strongly suggest the Caramel Cinnamon Latte. WOW!! Totally loving this scent right now.I like the Butter Cookie, throws pretty well for me.Cranberry Cobbler threw really good, but I went with the Cranberry Sauce instead (I renamed it) and that has been my biggest seller this season.I've got most of the other ones, but not tested them enough to post about them yet!!

Gaye Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I did not like the Vanilla Lavender in a 50/50 blend. Too much lavender, and I think that KY has one of the best Van. Lavender fragrances out there. I would highly recommend KY and pass on the JS.Also tried the Vanilla Bean and it was weaker than Ms. Randy's IMO.

Have customers that love it (I prefer Christmas Cookie)Coconut Bubble--Strong Coconut scent--really niceButtercream Hazelnut Extraordinaire--great scent, light for me in candles, but we use it in bath and body.Cranberry Cobbler--another awesome realistic bakery scentOxygen--love itStrawberry--nice scent, medium throw in soy, great in bath and bodyStrawberry Cheesecake--Great Throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blest2BAmerican Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm glad you asked this question. I just ordered some of their FOs and accidentally ordered two bottles of the Hyacinth Chula Orchard and was wondering what I was going to do if I didn't like the scent.

She said "Another one of your girls ordered, Lezli with a 'z' " So now I have my own following? ROFLMAO Truly, I love her product. Sure some of her oils haven't worked for me, but lots of them do and have quickly become my best sellers. If I didn't believe in it, I wouldn't talk about it so much!

Sarah Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 you know, i started out with one fo from there that sounded really good (pumpkin nog) and of course picked out my 3 samples. then i had to order more of one of the samples and another fo that sounded really good. of the 3 samples that came with that, i want to buy at least 2... at first i wondered how she could afford to give 3 samples just for ordering 1lb of fo, but now i see... i am a great example of how this works for her. beware the free samples:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blest2BAmerican Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I received my Just Scents order today and the FOs smell wonderful OOB. I can't wait to get them get them into wax and soap.

Freezin Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Oh boy, now I have to try a few more. Geeze, I think I have tried at least half of her oils. I love more than I can put in my line...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavender fragrances out there. I would highly recommend KY and pass on the JS.Also tried the Vanilla Bean and it was weaker than Ms. Randy's IMO.I would also have to say that the Lav/Van from JS is heavier on the Lavender side than the Vanilla. Downey has a dryer sheet called Lavender Vanilla and I have been searching high and low for this fragrance. It is absolutely beautiful. Smells nothing like Lav & Van at all. If you ever get a chance at the grocery store, pick up a box and let me know if you have a supplier in mind that has something close to this.

It smells just link the J&J stuff and throws great in soy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had a small handful that didn't work for me, but I have read others that raved about the same oils. I finally tried the Banana Nut Bread you always rave about, and it is the bomb. Just like any other company, not all oils work for all waxes. We have consistantly switched many oils to JS and now she is our main supplier. Love the samples, they always are a nice surprise.
