anmansir Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I was hoping to place my first order with Backwoods and am sad to see that they announced they will be closing. The fragrances I was interested in were Honey Gingerbread, Pumpkin Gingerbread, Gingerbread Latte and Pumpkin Cornbread. Are there FO from other suppliers that are comparable?

Trappeur Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 What? They're going out of business? Omg! I just sent them an order about 4 days ago and never saw anything on their site about that. The new account I just got, ordered 2 fragrances for their line from Backwoods.... Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmansir Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I was surprised too. I have been stalking their site for weeks and have my cart full. Not sure I want to bother now though if the oils won't be around for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Dang it. That's going to eliminate a few scents that I don't think are elsewhere, but someone carries all of these things somewhere. The trick will be to find where. I'm not sure that Pink Amber, Ambre Blue, Amber Moon are out there. Edited April 4, 2018 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 This is sad news. Her honey gingerbread is the best gingerbread I have ever used. Plus her Black Irish is one of a kind. Green Irish Tweed is close but not as good. She had some very distinctive scents that will be hard to replace! I think I still have a little Pumpkin Cornbread left. Another distinctive fragrance.

Sunday Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Has anyone tried any of these fragrances from Backwoods in a soy blend? - Black Irish .- Honey Gingerbread .- Pink Pepperberry .- Sea Salt Breeze - Breeze in the Keys - Sandalwood Cardamon - Tamarind & Ginger .- Twigs N Berries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Their Twigs and Berries didn't smell anything like the one from AH/RE (which I really like). Theirs smelled really earthy like patchouli to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy511 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This is SO sad--it seems like every time I sign on here there is bad news lately. You can't count on any of these companies anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ugh, sorry for those of you that used them. Guess it's just getting harder and harder for suppliers to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love black irish and honey gingerbread. Pink pepperberry was okay but not special to me, and twigs n berries I just didn't like. Didn't smell like twigs or berries to me. I have read reviews of the breeze in the keys and sandalwood cardamon being good but have no personal experience with them. Personally, I find all her pumpkin and gingerbread type fragrances to be the best around. You can't find better IMO. Her lilac type FOs are also top notch and the black irish is better than any green irish tweed out there.

Scented Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Sandalwood cardamon was divine, but not a huge mover here. Might have been a name thing. It was an accidental send from her to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria57 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I wish I'd seen this before I placed my order on December 22nd. Paypal took my money but I never got an email from Backwoods and now I can't access the website. I misplaced the list of what I ordered, and now I'm wondering if I'll even get my order. They had a lot of fragrances I wanted to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even reordered the honey gingerbread as I needed several pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria57 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Thank you both! If I don't hear anything from her (it is the holiday season, after all), I'll try emailing her. No doubt she's got a lot going on right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi Maria, rest easy. I saved your order in my email before the site went off the internet. I will be sending your order out tomorrow morning. If anyone wants to order anything I may have left contact me via my personal email, uncledoondie@yahoo.com.

Darbla Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm sad about that, gloworm. So many good ones gone now. :( Do any of you ever talk any more with the lady who ran Bert's Heaven Scent site? Wasn't her name Roberta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Darbla, Sad to close Backwoods but when orders drop off you get to a point where you really have no choice. I have a lot of good repeat customers and am sad to loose contact with them and sad to leave them in a lurch with their favorite fragrances.

maria57 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thank you ever so much, Connie! I am truly sad that I discovered Backwoods too late. I wish you all the best and a wonderful future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
