Reliquar Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm putting in a FO order with Rustic Escentuals when I get home this evening. I have a little extra for samples and would love some suggestions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 They are numerous. Off the top of my head, I like Salty Sea Air, Tuscan Fields, Wine by Candlelight, Rustic Lodge, Dreamcatcher, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Curd, Amaretto, Caramel Cafe, Beachwood Vetyver, Cuban Tobacco, Little Black Dress (excellent for soap), several of the Christmas scents...Main St Christmas, Christmas Bliss. There is a Butter Rum something or other that I'm digging right now. The Sweet Pumpkin is a good straight pumpkin, because I don't love spicy pumpkin scents, good for blends too. I also use the Baked Apple (the HI dupe) and it sells well for me. They have a lot of great oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It depends on what you like and that's honestly how you should start your order lol. My new found favorite is Red Saffron, but I'm more of a hippie head around here. By far it isn't my only favorite. There are quite a lot of very good scents at this company. Perhaps you could share a list of interests to get a better response here. I will say, though, that their Rapture is divine but has not worked well for candles for me ... it doesn't like to mix that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 They have so many that I love, and it really depends on what you're looking for. Are we talking candles or B&B? I mostly get oils for soaps and lotions from them, but they have some excellent ones for candles too. At minimum, I would say try Clothespins, it's the best "laundry" FO I have ever smelled. And the Cuban Tobaccco is outstanding, great on its own and perfect for blending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaughtyNancy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Christmas Bliss hands down best Christmas/holiday theme fragrance I have ever smelled in my entire life. It reminds me a bit of a head shop incense rack smell, but in a really, really good way, with a slight festive twist to it. It's flippin amazing. Cuban Tobacco smells nothing like tobacco but it smells hella good none the less. Warm, a bit masculine, mildly sweet, a bit of spice. Lots of versatility in naming something you use it in, but smells great. Their "just peachy" peach FO also impressed me, since I usually don't like synthetic fruit smells at all. It smelled like genuine ripe peaches and was strong. I can't personally gauge the neroli FO because it's not my cup of tea, but I ordered the sample size for someone else who loves bergamot/neroli type smells, and she really liked it. Purple Sandalwood is THE BOMB, hard to describe it but it's super nice. They somehow managed to balance that sort of earth/wood+flower thing without it coming out like some cheap baby powder incense smell. I add a drop of cedar EO to it for a little extra depth and it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliquar Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. Now I have to try to stay within my budget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If you're looking for bakery FO's I love their toasted marshmallow, vanilla butter fudge, banana walnut cake, birthday cake the best seller, caramel pretzel bar, grandma's cupboard, key lime, pumpkin bread, salted caramel popcorn, southern pecan pie, warm vanilla nutmeg, welcome home. Others I like are Barbershop 1920's (my favorite manly scent) strawberry musk and several more. Like everyone said, it depends on what you're looking for. You can't go wrong with them though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I really like Birthday Cake (best seller) and Lemon Verbena. I make soap, lotion & scrubs etc.... not candles. I've got some others I haven't tested in product yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I second Goldie with the Spiced Pumpkin Latte. Yum! My favorite coffee scent. I also like Caramel Café, Da Lime in Da Coconut, Baked Apple (Home interiors type), and Celtic Moonspice, I like Ginger Souffle and Sea Grass & Sand Dunes but they haven't sold very well. I need more Spiced Pumpkin Latte one of these days and would like to order Tuscan Fields and Caribbean Day Spa. Loved the samples I got of those two.

I was going to get a 16 oz of Flannel Sheets, but seen that you think that Clothespins is the best laundry I'm now rethinking what one to get in the # size.

Sarah S Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 @Marleigha, I absolutely detest the name brand detergent fragrances. Not intending to offend, but any detergent or clean cotton type makes me want to gag. So, no, it does not smell like any of those! Lol! 😆 To me it smells like a fuzzy blanket hanging in the sun and fresh air that someone you love wraps around you as they envelop you in a big hug. It is warm and clean and fresh, but not at all soapy. I love it, and I have also gotten rave reviews from those who like clean cotton type scents. It is also a great mixer! I haven't tried Flannel Sheets, sorry! So I wouldn't be able to compare for you. The Clothespins is very strong, so if you hate it, you're really going to hate it. 😰 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do enjoy clean cotton fragrances and Gain FO's and Downy FO's. But I totally get it that you detest them. Lol 😂. There are a handful of FO's that I personally can not stand. The clothespins sounds amazing! Is it one you reorder time and time again? Anyone out there by chance that has smelled both RE clothespins and RE Flannel Sheets that can explain how they compare to one another? Thanks so much @Sarah S Sny other goodies from RE that you love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't need another FO supplier so I am not going to read this thread. I'll not let y'all tempt me, I'm just going to ignore it. Although the Cuban Tobacco sound really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well Forest, "your busted!" cause you already read someone talking about "Cuban Tobacco" .......lol.... Thats ok.....I'm thinking the same thing too.... Trappeur 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a soaper, it is fantastic performer in CP. I love a lot of RE fragrances! Truly there are only a small handful that I haven't liked from them. Good ones: Vanilla Lace Cuban Tobacco Havanna Nights Angel Heart Sweet Amber Musk Blackberry Sage Artica Those are my favorites. But notice the lack of bakery, floral, or clean notes! I have a weakness for earthy, boozey, musk, patchouli, amber, and herbal notes. Oh, the Amish Quilt is great too! I use that one for incense. 2 hours ago, Forrest said: I don't need another FO supplier so I am not going to read this thread. I'll not let y'all tempt me, I'm just going to ignore it.

I love clean smells, earthy smells, fruity smells, bakery smells, etc... I'm not really picky to be 100% honest. But clean smells are probably my favs. I have to agree with you about the Cuban Tobacco, Vanilla Lace, Amish Quilt & Sweet Amber Musk. So will definitely have to try Blackberry Sage and Artica. TFS! 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nancy suggests, you can add other FO/EOs to the blend..........adding some more earth scents OR adding any other FO that suites you fancy.........purple sandlewood is a basic scent that is so above the charts as a wonderful scent but can also be blended with other scents...........nothing more than your imagination can take you further.........kwim??????? All that said, I am partial to any sandlewood FO blend........with sandlewood being the starting FO, you can add anything from fruity, floral; other woodsy scents to create your own special scent. DO not be afraid to experiment with adding misc FOs to earthy scents........... On 5/31/2018 at 12:54 PM, NaughtyNancy said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
