Need Oregon trail recommendations

[dirtybirdsoaps]

I need to place an order for a few things at OT and was wondering which fo's are GREAT. Im looking for candle and soap recommendations. I dont place many orders with them so any advice would be great

I prefer earthy scents so here goes:

Absolutely Awesome Oakmoss -- great in paraffin, 70/30 soy/par, M&P, butters & lotions

DragonFire --- very strong in candles, butters & lotions

Egyptian Dragon -- very strong in candles, butters & lotions

Egyptian Musk -- super nice in butters, lotions & M&P, subtle throw in candles

White Witch - will rock your world in candles & body spray

Tube Rose - good in candles, M&P, butters & Lotions

Ylang - yep, nother good one - I use for candle blends

Chai Tea - very nice throw in candles

Brown Sugar & Fig - good in candles, butters & lotions

Gift of the Maji - good in candles, butters & lotions

White Patchouli - subtle in candles but nice used as a blender

Cherokee - just got this one - testing in paraffin and it's subtle but oh so nice. Very nice manly scent in M&P.

I'm not a soaper so can't say how any of these will do - but did get a bar of Egyptian Dragon from another member and the scent has held for months.

Did I help you spend enough of your money:cheesy2:

ETA: Moonlight path is good in candles too.

Definiately Chai Tea for candles. For soap the Bitter Almond is great and the scent lasts forever. I also like Buzzy Bumble Buttermilk for soap, lotions and body butter.

Honeysuckle Kisses. This one is WOW in candles, soap, lotions, etc.

These are all soap - oils and lye around 90, a veggie lard mix:

Black Raspberries and Vanilla - no A&D or morphing. Scent holds well.

Peppermint Ice - soaped well but scent faded more than I like. It did come back some but is still very light.

China Rain - soaped in salt bars. Does turn a pinkish color that is really nice. Scent is strong, does not morph and holds well.

Cool Mountain Lake - No A&D. Scent is very nice and fresh.

Frankincense and Myrrh - slight A and D - discolors to a light tan. Scent does not morph. Smells wonderful in soap.

Karma - great to soap. No problems. Scent holds fade a bit at first but it came back for me. No A&D.

Bonsai - soaps beautifully. Very strong. Can cut back to .5-.7 ppo with no problems.

Chai Tea - slight D very little A. Scent holds and stays true.

Green Irish Tweed - Little A no D and no scent morphing and stays strong.

Tiare Blossom - very little A not sure about D since I colored this soap. This scent holds true and strong.

Heavenly Heather - very light in soap but behaved well.

Oregon Wild Berry Musk - scent is very light but soaped nicely.

Spring Mountain Mint - behaved well with little A and no D. Scent does not morph and is not overpowering. Smells very fresh in soap.

Summer Strawberries - little A and D - soaped turned a tan color. Scent did not hold well at all for me.

White patchouli - just wonderful!! Behaved well, no A&D. Scent holds great. It does appear to disappear at first but for me, it came back nicely.

If you make shampoo or conditioner.... Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific is a winner.

[CBE]

Roselle Clover and Tea- to die for in soap! No A... No D

Scent sticks throughout cure and it's still going strong

Orange Blossom *Neroli Type*- Slight Acceleration, No D (but I did color the soap so not sure about discoloration) Soap cool and don't discount your water and it's a breeze. Smells real clean in soap.

Well for now I got the honeysuckle kiss & the Tiare blossom. I could only afford 2 because the least I buy is 8 oz and I also had other supplies I had to get from them. Id love to hear more though because Ill be placing another order soon
