lsbennis Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 lol...I know what you mean...I have spent a small fortune on my new addiction and it is only getting worse...I think there should be a Candleholics Anonymous thread on here to help us with withdrawls when we run out of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentsme Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 They are one of my very favorite suppliers. I just love too many of their oils and their prices. Here are some of my very favs:Triple Berry, Love Spell, Birthday Cake, Cantaloupe Lily, Sugar Milk, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Cotton Candy, Pineapple, Cream Cheese Frosting, Downy, Marshmallow Ambrosia, just to name a few. And I love their Linen Spray base(& it is Skin Safe!). ANd their shipping is fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockmonkey Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think her Lemon Meringue is great, and her Pink Sugar is pretty good. I know a lot of people like ICS, but I've found her samples to seem strong enough, but when I order a whole pound of a fragrance, it sometimes seems weak. Then there are some samples I buy that just smell way off.I prefer Scent-Works. I've never received a bottle of anything from them yet that I thought was weak, and they've all smelled like a quality fragrance should smell--no strange funky odor caused by chemicals used to dilute the oils. Their stuff might cost a little more than some places, but in my opinion, it's worth it. I've tried many places, and I still keep coming back to them time after time.

sockmonkey Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I don't believe I've tried any of their Shaw Mudge fragrances. Everyone is bound to have a dud or two, I've been lucky so far that I haven't run across them yet.Although I will say, I was let down with their Frankincense & Myrrh (Lebermuth version). I will use it, I just didn't think it was as good as they let on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Soap Diva Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Wait till you sniff the Bear Claws..It's so yummy! You'll love that one for sure. I've also used her Pink sugar and Love Spell. No complaints here. Love all her scents! Bernie:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixisprkl Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 There IS alot of "cherry" in the marshmallow ambrosia though.Hmmmmm.... I am glad you told me this. I have 2 samples of cherry vanilla and cherry almond from BCN that I haven't even touched. I can only handle so much cherry!!I think there's a lot of fo's that I could try out there. And in due time I will make it over to scent works, peaks, and GL Man, I wish UPS came in the morning.... then I wouldn't have to worry about DH....and I could order samples from everywhere!!!

sockmonkey Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow that's one I wanted to try. It's gets a lot of raves on the dish. Have you tried it in B&B?Nope, I haven't done anything with it yet. I planned on using it in m&p and lotion. I know it gets lots of raves, that's one of the reasons I bought it; plus, I had a Zum Bar from Indigo Wild that was F&M, and it had a pleasant smell. This might be too, when I actually use it, but just smelling it in the bottle, it mostly smelled like pine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to try that next if all goes well with the 1st batch of oils.2 weeks cure time huh? Well....cure time is my time to look on the computer for more products to buy!!! Do you still have to cure with 50/50? I think the 50/50 is the way I am going to go for containers.I am very anxious to test the bear claws and the witches brew (that one just sounds fun!)
