country creek Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 the FO's from??? I know that this may be a stupid question......but I was just thinking about the fact that they have to get it from somewhere and they obviously sell it above the wholesale price they pay for it in order to make a profit. Are there any suppliers on here that would be willing to share info??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwench Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 You are kidding, right? Why would a supplier tell you where they gettheir goodies? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If you are looking to get FO at a better price you can buy direct from the manufacture, if you are a legit business with a tax ID. You can buy from the FO manufactures if you can meet their min. most have a 25LB min. per scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphin061 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 okay.... hehe.... this is one I wanna step up and talk about.... there are many mfg's that we checked out before starting in the wholesale business, and the other posting is very true about the min. orders and Qty. per item.... the company that makes all of our fragrances has a 250 pound min. order, at 25 pounds per fragrance.... and the way we have 99% of our fragrances made are by finding different fragrances that we like, or get from our customers and have them make an exact duplicate of.... it takes about 2 weeks to get done, but is well worth it when you find a fragrance that you like.... it's hard enough to find someone just to tell you who the wholesalers are, let alone to tell you who the Mfg. is.... tho we don't disclose our mfg. I can tell you that unless you move a ton of oils, getting started is a Very tough process...... hope that helps a little..... I would also just like to take a min. to thank Everyone on here who have rated our Fragrances, and given us all the feedbacks over the past couple years to help us Grow for you guys as well!!!! Thank you again, and I wish Every one on here a Super Holiday Season...... Loren S.The Candle Sourcewww.thecandlesource.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fields Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 We have used a FO mfg for a number of years and got a tour of their facility once. Fascinating! We did not know that there was a profession called "perfumers"; the best are trained in France. They concoct scents from scratch. Much/most/all of the ingredients are essential oils (depends or several factors). At the time we toured hurricanes had wiped out Florida's grapefruit crop which made the cost of grapefruit EO's skyrocket. The company was scrambling to find alternatives to keep costs down. They have a 25 pound minimum. The first price break is at 55 gallons and the next is a pig (don't recall how large an amount a pig is). So, candle companies buy from mfg's and rebottle in smaller amounts. A bargain if you cannot afford or use 25 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
