sugarysweet95 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 HiI just noticed the excellent prices on the candle source's web site and they seem to ship abroad, so i was wanderin what their fragrances are like? Any ones to miss and any must haves?I don't like bakey / food ones at all though. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Loren's stuff is awesome. The Black Raspberry Vanilla is fantastic, one of my best sellers.....The j & J Bedtime bath - Soothing Lavender-awesome......I have had great success with Candy Cane, Lemongrass, Coffee caramel Creme, melonberry, cinnamon and sandlawood. I could go on and on. he just added a bunch of new ones as well.Can't go wrongTracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldehearth Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You can't go wrong with Loren's oils. He has excellent customer service and will answer any questions you may have quickly.

Sister Kya Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I only enjoy my oils in a warmer and in bath & body, so I can't comment on how they throw in wax but...If you like roses, Loren's Fresh Cut Roses is dead on, IMO. I dab a bit on silk flowers and my guests swear they're real because the house smells exactly like roses in bloom.I adore the Pumpkin and Vanilla, super strong and cinamonny.Black Magic is a favorite. Not sure how similar scents compare but it's piney and rich.Chocolate Cake will make you drool OOB.Gembertaarts we call Gingerbread around here, but it's got a very distinct, almost fruitcake vibe. Either folks love it or hate it, I love it but it's STRONG, so I have to be careful with it.Personally, I threw out my samples of Banana Nut Bread and Banana Split. Nobody here liked them at all. Even the Monkey Farts has a bit of an edge to it. Maybe it's just me, but I think whatever Banana oil they're using just isn't quite right...I quite like the Fruit Blast though.Generally, I have found better berry type scents elsewhere, but their Melon Berry and Pear Berry are quite good.Enjoy!!

sugarysweet95 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions. I've put in my order. I was really tempted with the black magic one, it sounded great, but couldn't find any scent descriptions, so could someone please describe it to me?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Kya Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm not so great at this, but I'll give you my impressions...It's a woodsy scent, kind of a spruce but with a touch of sweetness and spice. It sounds like a Christmas scent, but it's really not. There's no sense of baking cookies or anything like that. It's a deeper scent, more... magical...:rolleyes2See, I told you I was no good at it. Personally, I love it. I use it in the car as an air freshener because it's clean and woodsy, doesn't make me hungry and it's complex enough to make people go, "wow, what IS that?"Maybe someone with a more refined nose can describe it better? :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really tempted with the black magic one, it sounded great, but couldn't find any scent descriptions, so could someone please describe it to me?Thanks It's a very unique scent, a blend of pine without being too overpowering along with some spices. I know I'm not good at it but it's getting be popular around here. I renamed it 'Black Forest' so it's not too Halloweeny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdieluvr76 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Sugary, have tried 16 on your list and loved 14 of them, but didnt like Spring Rain,and just mixed Tropical islands today...YUK , threw the wax and oil straight in the bin, to me it smells of Meths. would love to know if anyone else has had that experience:smiley2:Haven't tried Spring Rain yet, but the Tropical Islands is a great seller for me. Sorry it didn't work out for you I love all of Loren's oils. Great customer service, and I always get what I order so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwife Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Birdieluvr,I wonder if my bottle of Tropical Islands was "off"? being that its a great seller of yours..... hmm very interesting. I agree Lorens oils are wonderful, as is the customer service,you really couldnt ask for better. Ive tried about 50 or so of his oils and only had a couple of misses so far......you cant like everything can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdieluvr76 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It is possible it was off. There was one that I ordered that I loved, but the 2nd time around, not so much love :tiptoe:. But, I guess that can happen anytime, right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarysweet95 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well as i'm here in the UK, think i'll be waiting a week or so for the fragrances, can't wait!!After all these comments i've learnt candle source is a great supplier and reasonable prices too!!!! There's so many FO suppliers out there it's hard to know which are any good!Think this one will be going high up in my favourites list!Thanks for all your suggestions, fingers crossed my oils don't take too long to come!!!

koala-nut Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I love the Vicks Vapor Rub. It is a dead-on dupe. I put it in nasal inhalers. Just like the ones you buy at the store but a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
