topofmurrayhill Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Pourette is one of the old school suppliers. They are well known and have been in the industry for a long time. Especially well known for their tin plate molds and colorants.Since they are a little "retro" I thought they would probably not be the best supplier for FO. Certainly they aren't one of the trendy suppliers for that. However, I know at least one very selective master candlemaker that uses some of their scents, so they may be worth checking out.

Mrs.Crabapple Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have used their scents for soaps and a little bit goes a long way. Their scents last forever in soaps also and I really think are top quality. I especially like their sweet pea and green tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I use them for molds. They have a great selection never tried their FO but have thought about it usually I get so over excited buying molds I don't have money left for FOs from them.

Shannon WY Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 It's kind of funny that you brought this up because I had never considered them before as a FO supplier, but not too long ago since I was ordering some molds, I decided to order a few samples of their fragrance oils. I have yet to test these in soy- Amber, Flower Shop and Tangerine- but they do smell great OOB. I'll have to let you know how the testing goes.

JulieKay Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I can't remember for sure, but I have had good sucess with them over the years, mostly for molds, but all in all I don't recall any major problems with them, if possible, make sure you try to order wholesale? it can save you a bunch edited to add: I just realised you asked about there fo's, I can't say as I have used them much for that, I have been verry happy with Peaks fo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon WY Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 LOL!! I'll get right on that testing:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Most of the scents are very high quality from there. I'm so lucky, they're local to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply soy Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 O.K. Molly, spill the beans. Since I'm not so lucky to be in the samecity they are located, just how much more concentrated are theythan other suppliers. For example, Mulberry seems to be awesome from most of thesuppliers I have ordered from. Would you say yes or no Pourette'sMulberry is stronger than other suppliers.Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliette Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Pourette is where I get most of my fo's and I love them. A little does go a long way. I generally use 1/2 oz pp of wax. I like their Sandalwood alot - I describe it more earthy then perfumy - Hopefully that makes sense. The desert sage is one of my best sellers. I use a parasoy blend though...HTH.

I'm so lucky, they're local to me!Unfortunately the only way they could be farther away from me is if they anchored off the coast of California.
