KyInCali Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm very new to candle making and trying to find a good supplier with strong oils. I've only tried CS. Who's your favorite supplier?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendia Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Hi, welcome to the board. The board is rather quiet right now, but you might enjoy reading this thread started a few years ago, and up-dated periodically. There are many answers. edit: People tend to use a lot of acronyms for suppliers. Here is a thread that interprets, as well as gives links to them.

WaxingPoetic Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Hi My faves so far are Wholesale Supplies Plus. The only bad oils I ever got from them were a couple of dupes ( Warm Vanilla Sugar and Pink Sugar...none were spot on or even close ) Candle Cocoon ( Vanilla Voodoo is s HG Vanilla ) just ordered two scents from Just Scent so far but both are amazing ! I have one coming in from Indiana Candle Supplies on recommendation of this board and they never steered me wrong yet, so I will let you know when I get those. The Candle Source was always a fave of mine, strong, spot on oils at a great price.. but someone said here that they may have reformulated lately and hers was not as good I have two small oils coming in soon, hopefully they are still good. I'll let you know ! Edited February 24, 2017 by WaxingPoetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If you go the section called "Fragrance" you will find this topic and favorites listed there. There are many. You can spend weeks there...... Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaxingPoetic Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I did get my oils from The Candle Source a bit ago and mine are absolutely spot on ( Warm Vanilla Sugar and Fruit Loops ) so that was a relief. So I would still recommend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incendia Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The problem with knowing about so many good suppliers is having to pay so much postage, especially for hobbyists like me who don't use nearly as much/many FOs as the pros here. I'm trying to settle on 2, or maybe 3. At the moment, my 2 favs are Flaming candle, Aztec (esp their monthly sample deal), ...and Candle Science carries a few I really like... but I've got big bottles of those now so it will probably be some time before I buy from them again. . Unless there is a good sale somewhere.... Or so I say now, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
