Forrest Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Due to circumstances beyond my control I have to place an order with Nature’s Garden, It’s all Trap’s fault, but let’s not go into that. As long as I’m paying shipping for one FO I might as well try some samples, especially since I can order them with no guilt at all. So if anyone has recommendations for their FOs that work well in candles I would love to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Forest, since it's all my fault, lol.....here are a couple more from NG that I sell to the shop downtown you went in and they are great throwers... Vanilla Champagne (Didn't you get that one when you were here?) You can actually smell the bubbles... Vanilla Pear - This is a real beautiful scent - it is a little light but still stands on its own. You could probably bump the oil up a notch or 2 in a pound of wax. OMG Olive - Another great one is this. You sure smell the olive in it. This too is a little light but very smooth and can stand on its own also. I rename this for her shop to: Tuscan Olive Leaf There you go for my recommendations.

You could have been nice when I ask where you got it and told me to go tale a long walk on a short pier, but you had to be mean and a answer my question. What is worse is my wife loves that little jar and thinks I should get them to use for all my candles, but none of the suppliers I use carry them. Thanks for the recommendations, I need a good pear so I'll put that one at the top of my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I have loads of NG fragrance oils. Eucalyptus & Spearmint - A best seller although not one of my favorites Hot Orange Danish Winter Candy Apple Tinsel Apple Orchard Potpourri Spice I like lots of others too, but they are spring/summer fragrances Tropical Blast Monkey Farts Coco Mango - My family and I love this one! Australian Bamboo Grass Cottage Breezes Lily of the Valley - I don't like floral scents but customers like this one. Those are some I like. Just steer clear of the World's best Fresh Brewed Coffee. Yuk. And Guardian Angel...only the name is pretty. Edited August 17, 2018 by GailC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I get a LOT of my scents from NG and honestly there are very few (for me anyway) that are duds or "misses" as some call it. I can agree with what everyone has said - but one not mentioned, if you want a masculine scent is Perfect Man. It's a bit on the pricey side, but man o man is it good. I do have a hard time buying that one because of the price point, however it's worth it. Every time I offer it, in any medium, it's one of the first to sell. Here are a few off the top of my head I like: (I know some have been mentioned before) Perfect Man Coco Mango Tropical Blast Vanilla Silk Pear Berry Elf Sweat Reindeer Poo Vanilla Champagne Bite Me (VERY STRONG CHERRY- I drop down to 4% in all my applications with this one) OMG Olive Pumpkin Spice (not skin safe if that matters) Warm Apple Pie - don't remember if this is skin safe if it matters Wedding Day (not skin safe if that matters) I have many many more I've tried/used/loved that I just cannot think of off the top of my head, but will add to the list when I get home this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 @Forrest, I hope you didn't place that order yet, because you HAVE to order their Garden Dirt! Just a little 8oz bottle because it will last you forever, but I truly don't know how I made outdoorsy blends without it. I also love Rain Barrel, it is a beautiful and authentic water with very light floral notes that is amazing in wax. And I can't make it through winter without their Christmas Splendor, it is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried, I love that theirs is a little fruitier than other supplier's. Some other great performers for me are: Black Tuxedo (great dupe of Polo Black, very sexy and manly) Class and Sass (my favorite dupe of Chanel no.5, also my favorite perfume) China Rain (hippy smell) Nantucket Garden (mom and sis live in New England and love this dupe) Torrential Rain (watery floral, I like to mix it with patchouli) Paradise Reef Lavender Luxury, very pleasant lavender There are many that I use in soap, but are only so-so in wax. I agree with Gail, stay away from the world's best coffee, it isn't. Their fresh ginger is terrible. Vanilla Bean is blah, as is cinnamon sticks. Sweet Patchouli is weird and doesn't throw, and their Witches Brew is the exact same fragrance with some orange thrown in. But that's out of at least 50-60 oils that I've tried from them. I have definitely received way more winners from them than duds! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I love Mrs Claus' Cookies Monkey Farts Mango Papaya Bayberry Christmas Splendor Apple Dumpling Apple Butter Caramel Gingerbread And several more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Forrest Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thank you everyone for all these great recommendations! I anticipated that some would come in late so I only ordered 8oz of the FO I wanted. The big order will come when I have tested the samples I ordered and I'll get the rest of the samples then. Really ordering samples just implies that your going to place another order, and as longs as you are placing an order you should try some more samples, which just implies that your going to place another order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a horrible cycle us FO-HOs find ourselves in. I am up to my ears in 1oz samples from all my suppliers, but I can't seem to stop collecting them. NG is pretty good, and at a good price and fair shipping (to me, anyways...but I'm only a couple states away). I'll have to go through my list and make some more recommendations. Although some of this is a repeat, off the top of my head I really like (using parasoy pillar wax, mostly for melts, also have used most of these in room sprays or reed diffusers as well): Green Clover & Aloe Nectarine & Mint (though I add more CS Garden Mint to it) Brown Sugar & Fig Peppermint Patty Freesia Blue Hydrangea Apple Orchard Bamboo & White Grapefruit Mrs Claus Cookies Christmas Cabin Spiced Cranberry Gingered Peach I do not like: ANY of their coffees. (I tend to gravitate to RE for coffee based scents) ANY of their tobacco / cigar scents. (To my nose, they are pretty perfumey and almost citrusy, which is not what I prefer. People seem to like them, so maybe it's just me!) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 My plan is working well. I only ordered the 4oz size of Vanilla Champagne, and everyone loves it and I'm burning through the 4 ounces quickly Soon I'll be forced to place another order with NG and of course I'll have to order lots samples sizes based on all these excellent recommendations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously need to quit reading your posts lol! I'm trying to work down my stash of NG so I can sneak some of the Vanilla Champagne into an order to try it out. I can't just buy one fragrance. It's just not worth the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
