islandgirl Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 $6.00 lb!! It was 16.95 now it is $23.95....I know we all have to increase our prices, but OMG.. I was not prepared for that price increase all at once.. They said that their supplier raised the prices, so they had to...I also heard that more oils may be going up too!!! Does anyone know if JBN is a dupe to BCN's Cedar & Saffron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 WOW....that is a big jump! So were they the ones that told you that many more oils would be going up? As in BCN oils only, or oils in general?I think I have a sample of C&S from JBN. I will look and if so, it is yours! I cannot say if it is a dupe b/c I never smelled BNC. I will say that JBN is a GREAT company and I love their oils. They all do so well in soy, too. And I LOVE their freebie policy!!!! http://www.justbynature.com/fragrance-Specials.htmlYou actually go through the list of fragrances and add the free ones of your choice and you get a FULL ounce...which is great for testing.I just looked and their C&S is $18/pound and it says that it is one of their strong ones that you can cut back on. Believe me, when they say you can cut back on their "stronger" ones, you can really cut back. So $18/lb AND you don't use as much...double savings!Also they have great sales... http://www.justbynature.com/Sale_Items.htmlI think they have them once every two weeks???? Anyway, they are sales on stuff that is popular as opposed to stuff they are trying to clear out. Top it off with customer service that just cannot be beat.

islandgirl Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks VE.. After that review.. I placed an order with them. :highfive:Hope it's similar to BCN's... If so I will order in bulk at the 8lb prices which knocks it down to $15.95 lb!!!Talked to BCN on the phone.. Said other oils my be increasing also. I checked out their Jan. newsletter, and it also states their will be increases due to the rising costs of raw materials.I wonder if other FO suppliers will be adjusting their prices soon...

Scented Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Some have me thinks. Anyone notice the popularity of amber scents last year and see price increases already? I've seen quite a few and love the scent almost as much as I love patch. Now some have patch in it, so that explains the increase but still ... And with shipping costs that went up too ...

bugtussle Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Creme Brulee has gone up to 16.95!! Uck!! Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 That sucks!! I really like that scent!! I'm looking for other suppliers for my FO's anymore! I know that Bert's has some great oils that I'm going to start using to replace some of BCN's & BCS's. I know that BCS had raised their prices on some FO's several yrs. ago. I don't use too many from BCS, but the ones I do are expensive! Let us know if JBN is comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshiegirl Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I love the one from JBN. I've never tried BC's version though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just poured this last night for the first time in some votives. WOW! Awesome scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Let us know if JBN is comparable. It is a DUPE..The only difference is the $7.00 per pound difference. I just looked and their C&S is $18/pound and it says that it is one of their strong ones that you can cut back on. Believe me, when they say you can cut back on their "stronger" ones, you can really cut back. So $18/lb AND you don't use as much...double savings!Also they have great sales... http://www.justbynature.com/Sale_Items.html Top it off with customer service that just cannot be beat.I got their oil in 3 business days!! It was sent out the day I ordered!!Poured it last night and burning it now. Hot throw is fabulous!! I might even be able to cut back on it too!!! WHAHOO!!! Your right.. They do have great sales.. Thanks for everyones help.. I hope this thread helps all of you who needs a Dupe for this oil.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthfriendly Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi guys, I just checked out JBN Cedar & Saffron. It's $21 lb!, and it does'nt say anything about cutting back due to being strong. I wonder if they changed the formulation. Guess I'll give them a call tomorrow. Anyone tried it in C-3? BCN C&S did not throw well for me.

islandgirl Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yep... JBN's price went up soon after BCN..It threw for me in C-3.. Try upping to FO to 1.25oz/pp and see if that helps. Sometimes that little added amount of oil can make all the difference in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Are they using real Saffron to make the scent, or is it chemically manufactured? If it's real, that could explain the price increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthfriendly Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks Islandgirl, I'll try adding 1.25 oz and try it again.:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugtussle Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Island Girl, is JBNs Cedar & Saffron the same quality now that it's gone down to $15, or $14 mx&mtch, or $13 on 7 #s? They have a lot of good scents. Just too pricey before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hey Bug.. Good Question...I have not retested it since the price drop. It does not say it has been reformulated?? Worth trying again, as the price is right.. I called JBN to ask, but they are closed for the holiday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey Bug.... Called JBN... They said it was the same quality and they were getting it from the same supplier. Nothing has been changed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
