Moonstar Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Do any of you soapers make any almond scented soaps ? If so, how do they sell for you ? Im asking because WSP has 3 / Cherry Almond - Honey + Almond + Almond They also have 2 Oats + honey type ... one with milk, one without. Why do they all have to complicate things. Im so indecisive lol ! Im hoping one of you expert soapers will be doing a oatmeal or a coconut milk soap recipe for soap of the month - wink wink lol ! Out of curiosity, if you had to choose your top 3-5 CP Best Selling scents what would they be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I like Honey Almond just not Cherry Almond smells like Jergens to me. Do the oats with the milk I like it better. if you can find a good Lavender that would be your 3rd one.

TallTayl Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I use either brambleberry or sweetcakes almond, they sell ok for me to the right crowd. Each has that Jergens bitter almond note without being too cherry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders you'd think would be easy to find a good one but that hasn't been the case for me anyhow. Candy bee suggested one from Pure fragrance oils that I might just try also, WSP has a lavender sage that has very good reviews too. Thanks again ?

Shari Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I use NG's Almond and yes, it smells like Jergens. It's a fairly good seller for me. I us OMH from Southern Scentsations and it is hands down my best seller. I tried a lot of OMH before landing on this one and it's devine. Fortunately, I'm able to drive to get it and just made a trip a few weeks ago for 4 lbs as it's the only one I use from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samirish Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I just purchased WSP Oatmeal and Honey and am disappointed. I just do not care for it, although on their site it got stellar reviews. Im kicking myself for once again, buying a whole pound with out just ordering a little tester to begin with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I love both the Honey Almond and Vanilla Almond from WSP, and they hold up well in my melt and pour soaps. I have tried the Almond from SC, but it has a strong note in it that turns me off, it's one that I would have to mix with something else. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when that happens May I ask what you didn't care about, was it too sweet ? I read one review that said it was like a oatmeal cookie. Maybe I should go with their oatmeal milk and honey ??? Theres FO's Ive purchased that when I first smelled them I didn't care for them + then a month or so later I'll smell it again + for some reason I'll like it ... maybe it mellows IDK ?? its weird. Then theres others I hate just as much as the first time lol ! Thanks for chiming in 2 hours ago, samirish said: I just purchased WSP Oatmeal and Honey and am disappointed.

Moonstar Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Well I just went on the Southern Sensations web site + theres no button to add items to your cart ???? Also, it lacks important information such as how many of something your getting for the posted price - weird . Maybe they are for local pick up only ????

Candybee Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I am currently using EBB's Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey fragrance. OMH scents are typically a honey and almond combo. I've tried several and settled on this one for a variety of reasons. Its one of my best sellers so I am sticking with it. Personally I don't want a cherry almond type because I don't want that Jergen's scent in my soap. PFO has the best OMH but being on the West Coast plus shipping I quit buying from them a few years back and settled on EBB's version. I like it best out of all the suppliers I am currently using and it sells very well and holds its scent in CP so I am happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks Candybee ! I remember you talking about the OMH + Lavender from PFO - Im assuming thats Pure Fragrance Oils ? I could of swore the web site stated they were on the East Coast ? Unless I was checking the wrong vendor, which is possible.

Wonder if they are working on it. Sorry, I've never ordered but had the ability to put stuff in my cart previously. I would be happy to send you some to smell and try if you like. I have plenty on hand right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thank you Shari, I don't want you going through any trouble though. I just thought it was so weird and the part of not including information such as how many of tubes, jars etc is included in the price is very odd. Maybe I'll give them a call, like you said, they might not even be aware of it. Id hate to see them loosing out on sales for a lack of their site not working.

Moonstar Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Your right Candybee, they are out in CA for some reason I thought they were East Coast ... Your right shipping from out West is sky high Brambleberry has a good one too but same thing - out west + high shipping Edited January 5, 2017 by Moonstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) If I was west of the Rockies I would buy a lot of PFO's FOs. I love many of their oils and their lavender, OMH, and honey are 3 of my favs. Although their prices have come down a bit in recent years shipping is still a killer. But my lavender soap sales have never been as big as when I was using their lavender. I have been reconsidering using their lavender again but it's actually cheaper to use lavender EO for my soap and that is what I have been doing. Since they have to be buying their lavender from one of the major manufacturers other suppliers must be selling it. I will continue to search until I find another supplier that has the same.

Moonstar Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Canine what about the True Lavender that everyone raves about from Tennessee before they closed. I believe Barbara ( on the forum) is sending TT a some to to what she comes up with through TT's sources. Ive never bought/used that one so I don't know much about it I bet your customers love the fact that you use lavender EO - do you use lavandin or 30/32 / 40/42 ? BTW LOVE your new profile pic ` Adorable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 PFO has $10 flat rate shipping still - for now. On the phone with them that might change, so if you're considering stocking up on PFO, now is a good time! the USPS, fed-ex and UPS rates are scheduled to (or are in the process of) increasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the heads up TT Any must haves from PFO ? Im thinking OMH + Lavender for now ? Edited January 5, 2017 by Moonstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
