Aroma Bead Ornaments: How Long Do Yours Last?

[GoldieMN]

I have some aroma bead ornaments made with Fillmore's Nutmeg Ginger that have lasted over 6 months in my car.  Most of my other ornies have lasted about a month or so.  Just wondering what your experience is.  I'm using Plastic Pellets 4 Fun, one ounce oil to one cup (5.5 ounces).  Have you found that if you use more fragrance oil, the ornaments last longer?  Or are they just stronger to begin with?

Anyone making aroma bead ornaments want to respond?

Mine can last anywhere from 2 weeks to months, depending on the FO.  I use basically the same amount of FO for each batch, so IDK what adding more would get you.  The FO seems to be the difference....some scents linger forever and some just fizzle out more quickly.  It's not always the scents that are strong on candles and melts either.  I like to make ornies for myself with Floral Muse from Flaming. That's an oil that is light in my candles but seems to last a long time in my car.  Or maybe I've just used it so much my car is forever permeated with that scent.

I agree it depends on the FO.  Mine still smells from Christmas!
