GailC Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It took me quite a while to narrow down my choices to 10. I finally decided on: Bergamot Rosewood Cedar & Spice Lemon Verbena Pink Flamingo (Just because I love the name) Spring Breeze Tangy Citrus Tokyo Nights (Also because I love the name) Tropical Breeze Strawberry Kiwi Winter Cherry I couldn't get the code to work and finally called and realized I didn't read the rules well enough because I was trying to order additional 16 oz bottles of FO. She told me I could place another order and put notes on both orders to combine the shipping for the one flat rate charge, so that was nice. I had to reorder Baja Cactus Blossom and Island Dreaming and I took a chance and ordered one new one, Spring Meadow, a BBW type. @Trappeur, I couldn't find your list, so I started this topic. Maybe you could relist your samples on this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 @Trappeur, well did you or didn't you? If you did, I guess you discovered you had to order the samples by themselves. I have the Butterscotch Brulee, Island Dreaming and Vanilla Latte and like them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resisted Maple Street's sale because I didn't want to add another supplier either. But I have ordered from Cierra before and really like her oils. And the customer service. A few years ago, I called Cierra to see if their Midnight Jasmine was a YC dupe because I had a customer request for that fragrance. The lady I spoke with didn't know, but actually went to a YC store to compare the scents. The store didn't have that fragrance, but I was so impressed that she would go out of her way like that to try to answer my question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely kept me from ordering . I have so many FO's I haven't even used yet, and I know I should refrain from ordering more, but it gives me pleasure to get a new shipment of Fragrance OIls. Something to look forward to. I like to just sniff my samples sometimes. The only thing I am trying to do is just order one or two new FO's when I restock some I need. When I ordered wax and wicks from Candlewic, I only ordered ONE bottle of FO. That shows great restraint on my part. I also have more yarn and embroidery floss than I'll ever use. But I started a new project this week and none of the yarn I already had would do, so I bought more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes spend the day smelling all my oils .I am so excited each time I get a oil package in the mail. My Just Scent order is out for delivery tomorrow.I am looking forward to both the Cotton Candy oils & Cherry Slushie . Of course I did order some samplers also .Creme de Menthe is one I am so looking forward to getting in the wax . I just love mint oils. I hope you get some great ones from Cierra . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So I took a glance and am curious then about a few of the FOs there. I'm not looking to add another supplier, but we're about to dump three, so there could be room. Has anyone tried: Maharani Padparadscha (I think Southern Soaper used to have one. Was curious if there was a comparison) Smoked Leather ... is really smooth and nice (for a non-leather fan too) Amish Harvest ... would it compare to Peak's version? (I know that version is available elsewhere) Autumn Lodge Bergamot Rosewood Cannabis and exotic spice ... curiosity is spiked here Carnation ... (do you pick up the floral or just spice?) Cinnamon Apple (maybe there's a far better one out there ... have not found a Tennessee replacement yet) or would spiced apples be better? Citrus Splash ... does it have staying power? Eucalyptus ... does it compare to Peak's version if you've used it ... otherwise how would you describe it Island Dreaming ... sounded interesting Lilac blossom ... anyone compared it against Candle Cocoon Maui Mist ... has me curious. Has anyone used it? Oxford ... Pink Flamingo ... so does the cherry overpower the fragrance? Spring breeze ... I need a better description. Woodstock '69 ... sometimes the best known Hippy ingredients shouldn't belong together ... what about this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 So I just placed an order with Cierra. I have never ordered from them before but they have an almond extract I want to try to replace the almond pastry from peak. This is what I got and I will let you all know how they smell OOB when I get them. Patchouli Spice Maharani Padparadscha: Just plain curious on this one. Lily of the Valley Honey Almond Holiday Eggnog: Hoping this also can be used as a substitute for Grandma Swinging Egg Nog Cinnamon French Toast Cedar and Spice Cherry Vanilla Cannabis & Exotic Spice: Not sure on this one but sounded intersting Blueberry Pumpkin Pancakes: I am assuming this will be the same or similar to Blueberry Pumpkin Patch Black Cherry Autumn Lodge Amish Harvest: Getting this to see how it compares to Peak Woodstock '69 Almond Extract : Hoping this can replace Almond Pastry Black Licorice: I love licorice so this is for me Oxford Scentsy Type: Interesting maybe I can use this as a book scent. Sea Glass: Curious how this will compare with WSP I will let you all know how they are when they come this week. Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
