pinkclouds Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 How are the oils, say in comparison with NG? Can anyone offer any reviews? I want to get a feel for this company before I order and then am disappointed. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If you do a search, "CandleSource" you will get a ton of information ... I just did one and got 2 long pages. The Candle Source is a great supplier ... great fo's, prices, and customer service. Many people of this board buy from there. Off the top of my head: Sage and Citrus - the best I've foundFresh Cut Roses - strong & trueBedtime Bath - strong & trueStrawberry ShortcakeFrosted Cup Cake Hopefully others will jump in ... but you will definately find scents and reviews from doing a search.

tarynjms Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 This company was my great find this past year!!!! You will love their oils & the 1 ounce sample sizes are such a great price if you just want to test them out.Shipping was reasonable & quick. Not a dud oil in the bunch I ordered.Their Starfruit & Mango smells exactly like NG's.Their Frosted Cupcake smells exactly like Old Mill's.I've made sprays with their Fantasy for people & they love it.Try them for sure!

girlyracer Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've just ordered some more 1oz testers. I've never been disappointed with the quality. Shipping is fast too, especially as I'm in the UK.Sometimes when you buy cheaper priced oils they are "cheap". Not so with Candlesource. Their prices and quality rocks Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarysweet95 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I've recently tried candle source, and was a bit dubious about trying them, as there oils are cheap. But after the great comments people made on here about them, i went ahead and bought some samples and love them!!!!The oils arrived in less than a week (which, considering i'm in the UK is great) and they all smelled fantastic. The prices are so reasonable and so is the shipping. I got sent 27 1 oz bottles for only $11 shipping to the UK!!!!Not tried many in wax yet, but they smell great OOB. Still loads more i wanna try too!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
