Darbla Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The Candle Source seems to be having a good sale now (4 oz is $3.89)and I'm thinking of ordering the FOs I've listed below. Any experiences with them would be much appreciated. Also if you've used their room/body spray and lotion bases, I'd love to know how they worked for you.

scentsme Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 1st off: I really like thecandlesource oils, customer service & prices!2nd: those "sale" prices are always that price!!!! They've been like that for at least a year. So that takes the pressure off to make a rushed order.3rd: Their room & body spray base is the same one that WSP & soapandthings sells. I use it (wsp) & like it alot, but I will say that you have to go to the higher FO % when scenting it. Most FO's I have to go to 2% FO load as opposed to the .5-1% load. But I love this spray otherwise.I've only tried 1 of the oils you have listed: Pumpkin & Vanilla. Like it very much because it's not a very spicey/clove type. Even though I haven't tried the oils you listed, I have tried about 12 others & liked them all. Oh, I only do B&B though. So don't feel rushed to order because those sale prices are always in effect. But I'd certainly try this place.here are some reviews of their oils:http://scentreviewboard.obisoap.ca/viewforum.php?f=223&sid=1dde1829aaf1d7245f03c71b4414e15f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks for the awesome info! I did read the reviews at Scent Review Board, and pretty much every single one was positive, but they were mostly from soapers. There just doesn't seem to be enough of us chandlers posting reviews! Which I hope to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candlebuddy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 From the ones you mentioned ... I've tested & like the following in my 50/50 soy blend ...Pink SugarClothes Line (although I like Sun Washed Linen better)Pumpkin & Vanilla(Tropical Island has too much floral in it for my liking.) J&J Bedtime Bath is awesome, as well as Cinnamon Sandalwood, Cinnamon Toasted Almonds, Frosted Cup Cake and, Sage & Citrus. The ones that did not work well in my wax were: Bartlett Pear - light throwChocolate Chip Cookies - light throwOregon Pine Needle - Pine Sol to my nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I can not tell you guys how much I appreciate your recs from this company! I got my shipment today and I am in scent heaven right now. 'Gembertaarts' is to die for! I made a body spray (also a product I ordered) immediately. 'Christmas Splendor' reminds me of my favorite Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume oil that I wear at Christmas and a 'Yule' FO I have from a no-longer-in-business candle company (yay! I have a replacement now!). 'Black Magic' will get renamed to 'Black Forest'. 'Country Bumpkin' reminds me of 'Amish Harvest' from Peak Candle. That's just the first few I've checked out and I can't wait to get them in wax! Thank you!!!There is one oddity: I ordered a bunch of 4 oz pump sprays, and the tubes attached to the pumps are way too long for the bottles. The bottom of the tube is pressed against the bottom of the bottle and curved up; it would be impossible to use the last bit of spray this way unless you take the top off and just douse yourself. Is that normal? Am I supposed to cut them down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I don't know if it's normal or not, but you can cut the tubes down ... I did, and they worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yep, you are supposed to cut them down. I believe that the lids fit a couple of size bottles, so you cut them down for the smaller bottle. That is what I do anyway.I just wanted to also give a thumbs up for their Sunwashed Linen. It kicks in both my parasoy and 4794. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
