sharyl55 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 OK, I can't stand it anymore. I have to order a sampler pack from JS. I've spent hours reading your posts and reviewing Becky's scent descriptions. These would be for votives (OK 6228) and containers (J223). I keep adding to the list. Help please if you have had any luck with any of these in paraffin.1.Banana Daiquiri - just cause it sound so good2. Cappuccino Brulee - cause I'm determined to find a coffee that works for me3. Captivatingly Currant - just cause it sound so good4. Caramel Cinnamon Latte - cause it knocked Trish's socks off5. Chai Tea - cause everyone is so excited and I need a tea to compliment Peaks Green Tea6. Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove - for a mixer with other FOs7. Donut House Cuppa Coffee - cause I'm determined to find a coffee that works for me8. Grapefruit Vanilla Twist - cause I don't have a grapefruit9. Hyacinth Chula Orchid - cause I'm getting tired of rose and sweet pea10. Lemon Sugar - cause the only lemon I have is Lemon Pound Cake11. Mimosa Mandarin - cause it sound so good12. Peach Fizz - cause the only peach I have is GA Peach13. Strawberry - cause the only strawberry I have is Strawberries and Cream14. Tropical Rain - cause it sounds wonderful15. Silky "V" Vanilla or Becky's Ulitmate Vanilla - cause I don't have a straight vanillaI can't decide between the 2 vanillas. And I can't figure out which 2 to drop. Seems like everytime I drop 1 I end up adding 2 more. I need advise or perhaps a support group is in order. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi,These are all great choices, and I thought I would add that Victorian Vanilla Lace has become very popular with my customers,too. It is really nice. You can't go wrong with her oils, they are just wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownscents Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I use the cuppa coffee and the ultimate vanilla. Both are great sellers for me. I haven't gotten an fo from her that i didn't like. I just wish I would win the lottery so I could try all her fo's. She also has great prices and great sales! Make sure you are on her mailing list if you aren't already.I am getting ready to get into b & b and will probably try her new line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Oh crud! I was supposed to send you some samples!! I totally forgot! I'm soooo sorry! I can still send them on Monday if you want!If you're going to get some samples, get the vanilla buttercream crunch too. Man, I could recommend a ton of her oils.....

AngelaVA Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Okay, my two cents.I don't like the Grapefruit-Vanilla Twist at all. It doesn't smell like a good grapefruit, imho. I LOVE WYW Vanilla Grapefruit and JS smells off in comparison. I can send you some WYW to try if you want. Captivatingly Currant is really nice in paraffin. I don't know what Red Currant is supposed to smell like, but this smells great. Hyacinth Chula Orchid is one of my best sellers. It is a perfect floral, imho. It is a great thrower, but isn't too strong and heavy - not a perfumey floral if that makes sense. Definitely a must-try. I wasn't too impressed with Peach Fizz, OOB. I didn't put it in wax though, so I guess that's not too much of a opinion. Strawberry is nice, but BCS Strawberry Jam is much better. Again, if you want to compare I can send you some. It has an awesome throw and works great alone or as a mixer (mix with BCS Caramel and Whipped Cream for a to-die-for scent)As for the vanilla, each one is great and they are both different. I use the Ultimate Vanilla. It is a really great sweet vanilla. The Silky Vanilla has more body/depth to it. I think the Ultimate Vanilla throws better for me and is a better FO alone and as a mixer, so I use this one. Also, put Berrie Buttercreame, CITRUS LINEN (a MUST HAVE!), Pink Lemonade (awesome throw and tart/sweet at the same time), Raspberry Vanilla Creme and Tangerine Tulip (another great floral that's not floral, lol. This one smells really unique and if you have customers who like florals, this is a good one) on the list. Hope this helps some! I LOVE Just Scent.

These sales she keeps having are killing my pocketbook too. I just ordered this week and now I want to order again and get some of the new FOs, lol.

celicagtca Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Sharyl,The Caramel Cinnamon Latte is a DEAD ON RINGER to straight black coffee, no kidding. Don't let the caramel/cinnamon fool ya. In the bottle you get all three smells, when in soy ... BLACK STRONG COFFEE ALL THE WAY!!! I love it. Blew me away when I tested that f/o. I will definately stick with JS's Caramel Cinnamon Latte for my coffee addicts. Hyacinth Chula Orchid is really, really nice.Now the Ultimate Vanilla is another thing, I tested in soy and maybe it's my nose, but I didn't get a real strong throw off of it. I expected more.Orange Chiffon is Excellent.Claire Burke has an EXCELLENT hot throw.Apple Jack & Peel is another one I expected more of.Chai Tea is very nice.Pistachio Fluff is a really nice scent burning.Lavender/Vanilla, strong hot throw.Orange Cranberry, nice lingering throwHot Buttered Rum, nice strong throw.Sweet Pea is a really nice lingering throw.Capitvating Currant, I'm gonna have to test again because I didn't get a really strong throw the first time, might be the nose thing again. HTH ya Sharyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcandletarts2 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I think I need a cheaper hobby also, lol. I see many of Just Scents FO's I am wanting to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definately stick with JS's Caramel Cinnamon Latte for my coffee addicts. Wow! I didn't realize that soy and paraffin reacted so differently to different FO's. In my wax, you can totally smell the cinnamon with a touch of sweet, not sure I would say it smells like caramel, but something smoothes out the coffee.

sharyl55 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 I gotta get this order placed. The suspense of trying out these FO is killing me. Looked for Orange Chiffon but couldn't find it on Becky's list. Probably a good thing. There are already too many that sound wonderful.
