Bailey Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I just read a thread about this recently but now I can't find the thread. As I remember, a lot of people said they love Rustic Escentuals, Daystar and Peak Candle Supplies for fragrances. While I haven't tried Daystar myself, Rustic Escentuals and Peaks are my personal favorites. I also buy a couple of scents from Cierra Candles that I can't find anywhere else.

jldorrington Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 i get most of my stuff from natures garden... i use soy wax and all their scents that i've tried so far throw very well in the soy ( i get my wax through them also ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The best wax is one you can get the best price shipping on.. same with glassware. I changed my container when I moved from Tx to Oh because of the cost involved in shipping my old one. Scents.. I like to be different so with this one I try not to have the local supplier the main one. Nothing like going to a show and having 6 candlemakers with the same fragrances. Thats getting kinda tough as now I got Becky [JS] with really great oils and prices in my backyard. And the woman can throw a sale!! Wicks, you want to find a supplier you like and stick with them.. a lx-14 can be different from different suppliers. I get mine from Candlewic 500 or more at a time bacause of the pricing, color blocks from there as well. HTH.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 When I first started, I would order wax in smaller amounts from a few different places before getting a larger quantity. Shipping amounts played a part as well, as far as I know, I'm not that close to any of the suppliers sadly.As for FO, I did a LOT of 1oz ordering from a lot of different places, and as I found some favorites, ordered the much larger amounts of that.Labels, I do them myself. I use the Avery Design Pro which is free, bought some labels from the local office supply but when I went to kraft labels, ordered them from one of the many suppliers around that carry them, and I can just order as many sheets as I need.I know my answers aren't pinpointed, but since I have used many different suppliers and like them all for different reasons, I didnt want to list them specifically.

jillgunter Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I do all my ordering from Candlescience. They are located in RTP, NC. They have good prices and great customer service. I live 5 minutes away so I am lucky and can pick up orders. Dont know where you live, but check to see who can give you best prices along with shipping.

lindanelson Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Most of my fragrance oils come from flickerfragrances.com I get my wax from Let It Shine out of Seattle, WA. I get some fragrance oils from them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW.....I got snowy pine in ladies from Farmhouse and it does smell wonderful!!!! Just like having a fresh cut christmas tree in the house.

Gravity Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Being so close to Nature's Garden, I get a LOT of my stuff from them... if I order during the day, I'll have it at my place usually by the next morning!I use their 100% soy wax, and a lot of their fragrances. I'm trying to branch out and try others, but with them being so close.. it's really difficult to justify going anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Aroma Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks for the advice I just went to a site I was going to order from and I didn't realize that the shipping was so much!! I will try to find a supplier closer to home. Sorry I don't know why my post went here I just started this forum and I tired to reply to my post sorry.

7 Pawz Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I use Candles & Supplies, Alabaster, Cajun Candles, GloryBee Food, Bittercreek(both), etc. Customer service is great. As far as scents, each supplier is different; not all scents are going to smell and perfom the same and that too depends upon the type of wax used, amount of scent, quality of scent, wick used, etc. No way around it, find a supplier that you like, get samples and TEST, TEST, you find what works and what won't.

Rsvlbrat Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Peaks has some wonderful scents as does Just Scents.HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 My main line of fo's are from Peak's, my customers consistently love their scents. I get my wax from Candle Science as it is cheapest price and shipping for me. I get a few fo's that Peak's doesn't carry from NG. Love Peak's fo;s as many of them are soapable as well.

Brat Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 For FOs, I like Peak's, Lone Star, and Just Scent. I normally get my wax from Lone Star and the granulated votive wax from Just Scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
