ShelleyF Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I am looking for opinions on The Candle Source. Their fragrances are cheap but are they good? I am very picky. I only like strong fragrances. What brands would you compare this too. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use them much because shipping is so high to Texas but they have some good FO's. I've used their Vicks, Butt Naked, Banana Nut Muffin, Black Ice, Leather, Lemon Meringue pie, Love Spell, monkey farts, Oatmeal milk and honey, Pearberry and a few more and they are comparable to the other suppliers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I ordered samples of the following a couple of years ago ... their quality was more of the the "old time" type of oils I've bought in the past, which I really prefer. Some weren't as strong as desired, but they performed, mixed well, and most were pretty true to their name. I liked that they were "basic" scents, as they mixed very well. Creme Brulee - sweet, but not as full-bodied as I'd prefer French Vanilla - smelled nice, but not an over-the-top Fresh Cut Roses - definitely fresh cut roses! J & J Bedtime Bath (Soothing Lavender) - nice in a body spray, I'd like to get more of this one Spearmint Candy - a mint I mixed with other stuff, and it still shines through, should have bought more Bartlett Pear - very nice, I added some spices to it Fresh Strawberries - had more of a "jam" type quality, but nice anyway - goes great with roses, btw Fresh Orange & Peel - a nice orange Pineapple - pretty close, mixed very well Peppermint - nice, just a basic peppermint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spearmint candy sounds really good. I also need a peppermint. I'm running out. I love a fresh rose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
