LeahRB Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just wondering if you had to pick a Favorite FO company who would it be and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 For me that would not be possible.Though, if you are just starting out and haven't bought any yet I would find the supplier closest to me and if you find positive post on them then I would start with that.

Darbla Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm starting to think I could be happy with just Candle Science. But I wish they carried more Autumn / Christmas stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comfortscents Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I don't think a candlemaker or soapmaker should only buy from one company to begin with. Every company makes a cinnamon bun..I've tried everyone's cinnamon bun..to my nose I would only use A.H.'s soap n candles formula. But, if I'm looking for a great christmas splendor then I would have to say nature's garden. See, just like everyone here has different likes and dislikes so do customers. If you say you make the best cinnamon bun candle..you can't say that without sampling everyone else's cinnamon bun. The most economical thing to do when you're starting out is to check the classies, but some lots of 1oz samplers and start sniffing and pouring..sometimes what it smells like in the bottle is nothing like it smells like when it hits wax.

LeahRB Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for the advice. Just trying to get my foot in the door and I appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidijo Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have two... Candlescience and Peaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If I HAD to pick only one, it would be Peak's. But again, even Peak's doesn't carry every scent, and a few of the scents have not worked out for me. But if you are just getting started and want to order from just one place at first, Peak's will certainly have most of what you need. Eventually you will become a FO HO like the rest of us and start to order every FO from every company..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentsandMore Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I agree with everyone else. It is hard to narrow it to one supplier. I purchase the majority from KY Candle Supply. The rest come from either Bitter Creek South or Bluegrass Candle Supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think I will try Peaks. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for putting up with a newbie and I hope you guys don't get sick to death of my questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Peak has been my main supplier for a few years now, but I'm on the east coast. Second it would be Candle Science. KY is becoming my third, tied with Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 There are many threads just like this one in the Fragrance section... I mean pages and pages of them...lol. Browse through there, you'll find massive amounts of info on different suppliers. From opinions on quality to prices to customer service....

Brenda (OH) Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 First of all - I could NOT resist the temptation to only buy from one supplier . . . there are so many great suppliers out there to choose from that offer different types of scents. FO HO speaking . . . . I am weak - so VERY weak But also on a side note - keeping all your eggs in one basket isn't very wise either. A few years back I got ALOT of fragrance oils from one supplier that went out of business. It caused major chaos trying to find replacements for scents in my regular line. It was a very pricey lesson learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMary Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'd say WSP just because of the variety. I love my Peaks, but I'd hate to be so limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Bert's Heaven Scent is DEFINITELY on the top of my list! I've not purchased a scent yet that didn't smell true to it's name and had excellent throw! My other two faves are Nature's Garden and The Candle Source!

Babyv Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have to say Peaks and Bert's FO's are my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Couldn't pick just one. My faves: Candle Cocoon, Peaks, Enchanted Lites, Brambleberry (for b & b.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ok, I would have to go Starrville. I get most of my scents from them. If they don't have it, they will listen to ya anyway. I use 5 total. but that is the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You should try Nucents candle Cinnamon Oatmeal bun. It smells soooo good. Strong scent throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You haven't really given us much information on the type of wax you're using whether it be paraffin, soy or palm. Are you using these oils for pillars or jars. Every oil works differently in every wax. Every member has their personal favs., for their particular application. The better way to post your question is to let us know what wax you're applying these oils to and what f/o's you have in mind to start out with.
