Michi Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I have a gc for the scent works and I want to order some samples and this is the size they offer for their sample deal, but I have NO clue how much a 1/5 of a dram is?????? LOLCan I actually use this or is it just enough to sniff??TIA Quote
sudsnwicks Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 There are 16 drams in an ounce. You're sure these samples are only 1/5 dram? Quote
Michi Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 Yep, it says this on their site:Each vial sampler consists of a glass sampler vial (with applicator) filled with 1/5 dram of your favorite fragrance!!Hmm if that's the case (16 drams in an ounce) I don't even know why they bother with a glass vial AND an applicator????Bummer, I don't have enough to spend over and above what my GC is, but that's all I can find to order for that price. Maybe they sell stearic?? I need some badly!! Off to check!! Quote
Scented Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Those are the smallest vials ... just enough to sniff Michi or maybe it would work in some kind of small batch of B&B stuff, like a lotion. That's a big maybe. Quote
sudsnwicks Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Oh wait, I looked at one of my supplier sites and they sell these amber dram bottles which are 1/8 oz. So I guess there must be 8 drams in an ounce, not 16. Your 1/5 dram samplers would be 1/40 of an ounce. It must be just a few drops for you to sniff, it wouldn't be enough to make a candle or anything. Quote
daniedb Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Yeah, it's a few drops. Not enough to make anything but a lotion tester, like an ounce of lotion to see how it works in B&B. Or enough to put on a brass ring to sniff it warm. Quote
Beth-VT Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 1 dram = 1/8 US fl. oz.or 1 dram = 1/16 oz. (avdp). or about .35 of a gram Quote
OutlandishLady Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I have some and they be dinky! SW is running a sale this week, $10 off any purchase over $40, maybe that could help you get some FOs? I have the code somewhere, if you need it (bought some FOs and used mine already, lol!). Ahhh, now I just have to wait..... Quote
Candle Man Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Yea that is the size of the free perfume samples in the glass vials, this must be what their samples are, only enough to sniff Quote
Scented Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Nah on perfume you get about 5-8 drops to actually use the perfume But these are dinky. Quote
