I just got both orders today, and now I am a pouring fool! Poor UPS guy didn't know what hit him. I ordered 10 different oils from both. 4 ouncers from Solas, but only 1 ouncers from NG:angry2: . As everyone knows, you can't do much with one ounce.

Fern Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Told you the Orchid Rain was good! Glad you like it too. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 I do like it and I don't like florals at all. Made my BF just about die though. He doesn't tolerate the florals either. But its for a good cause. My friend is due to get married and hopefully he will like it for the tables.So, once I ship this out and he decides if he likes it, I will have to find some place to pour.The Bermuda Triangle is good. It reminds me of something else, but I can't put my finger on it yet. Too soon to tell I guess. But I do smell apricots, and that isn't listed on the site.Can't wait to get more of these into wax.Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'd be curious about your reaction to the Orange Smoothie and Berry Patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Scented,I have been debating on whether to put them in a tin or in a pillar. Either or would be good I think. The orange smoothie is kind of tart oob. But that could be just me right now. The florals are kinda clogging me up.I will let you know as soon as I get them done. I am using a para/soy blend for the tins, and the pillar blend from KY now.Thanks again to all of you for your great suggestions.Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Scented, the tart smell is more likely tangerine. It really reminds me of the tree we had when I was growing up. I'll let you know more when it cures.Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks Pat! I want to try the Berry Patch and eventually, maybe, the orange smoothie. I haven't quite decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 The Berry Patch is kind of a weird one. Hard to nail down what kind of berries it is. The description said wild berries, I smell strawberry, but not sure what else. Its nice though. Probably would work for soaps as well.

logcabinmomma Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Bermuda Triangle reminds me of fruit cocktail syrup- I love it!! lolNow, the name makes my dh think thongs..... but that's another topic altogether... Suffice it to say that he LOVES that one, but most people do...-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Is Bermuda Triangle like Jamaica Me Crazy or not? On the berry one, thanks Pat. I've got people looking for a berry grouping and berry patch from others hasn't cut the mustard. Still in the looking stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 I haven't tried Jamaica Me Crazy, but these Solas are wonderful! I did get the Berry Patch into wax and it is really nice. My BF has a better nose for the different scents in it and he loves it. OOB I wasn't impressed with the Vanilla Plum, but the wax really helped that one out. And the Guavaberry!!! Really could eat that one with a spoon! Ok, I won't, but the thought was there for about a minute. Then I found the cookies. All is good.:rolleyes2 I'm not sure about the Lemon Sugar just yet. I guess I will have to let that one sit and see if it comes out anymore. Kinda light right now. HTH in your search for some berries.

Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yeah well eating the guavaberry is better than wanting to roll around in it, which I'm guilty of desiring to do lol!! VP is great in wax. Lemon Sugar might be a bit light as it has not tartness to it. So interested in your other findings though, mostly on the NG side lol!

prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Scented- which ones from NG are you interested in? I can always bump them into the next spot. I just poured the Paradise Reef into the pillar blend. So far so good. OOB the Strawberry Kiwi is not good. Has an over ripe strawberry smell to it. Hopefully it will be better in the wax. I was contemplating the BRV next, but the Sun Moon & Stars is kinda calling too.And then there is the Tiger Lily. I don't like florals so that one has to wait til BF goes to work tonight or tomorrow night. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I love the Lemon Sugar in containers and votives. I let my sit for about a week you take the cover off and they smell wonderful. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Diamondk, that is what I am hoping. I got the Lemon Chiffon from AH/RE and it throws really well in a pillar, but I am hoping the Lemon Sugar will do well in the tins.Thanks, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well just about all you listed Pat for NG lol! I have Sun, Moon, Stars and need to get it into wax. It's been calling me for awhile too. Paradise Reef sounds interesting ... I'll just watch you as you go. I've been itching to get some more NG stuff ... then again I've been itching to get some stuff done too!

prcandles Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 The Paradise Reef is cooling as I sit here. It has a nice clean smell to it. Colored it light blue. It doesn't have any one strong smell that I can tell right now. But it is good.HTHPat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prcandles Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ok, in case anyone is still interested...The Strawberry Kiwi from NG is wonderful. Neither scent overpowers the other. Kind of reminds me of a strawberry candy. The Paradise Reef does remind me of something after all. It smells to me like the blue Irish Spring soap. It isn't a soapy smell, just smells like that to me. The Summer Sorbet is really good too. Has a strong mango, maybe papaya smell to it. Lovely is a good way to put it. The BRV is good too. So far, so good with these.I did put the Sun Moon & Stars into wax as well. Just waiting for it to cool enough to get a hint of it.HTH anyonePat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegirl Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Okay.. I just got some NG samples too! One interesting note is NG's Yacht Club is the same as Solas' Seabreeze. Both smell great.

Hydrangea - awesome floral, throws wellYacht Club - great oobLilac - great oob, strong and truePalm Island - becoming a big sellerPikaki - very strong oobDreama - really pretty scent oob.. very surprised.. would be awesome in soapFresh Peach - strong oob, but never can tell with Peach until in waxMelon Mist - nice scent.. not sure if it would throw well. kind of lightCapri Olivo - really nice and strong oob- great for soap or candlesLemon - VERY surprised! Like grated zest oob... my new Lemon fragrance!Romance - very pretty scent. strong. would work well for candles or soapCountry Apple - Nice apple scent.. still prefer Apple peel from AWEHot Baked Apple Pie - Very strong oob.. smells like other Hot apple pies.. great for candles.
