Darbla Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'm ordering cyclomethicone from Bitter Creek South, and you know what a travesty it is to order only one item from a supplier. Therefore I must order some FOs. What are your favorites? I'm definitely getting 'Stress Relief' per sisterkaren's recommendation in another thread. Any other items (not FOs) you like from there?Some FOs I've got my eye on:Cinnamon SurpriseCoconut LimeDogwoodGreen Tea BlendGulf TidesHarvest type Hawaiian PlumeriaHoliday WassailHome For The Holidays typeIrish CreamLavenderMulberry (says it's extra strong; use only half as much)Mulled CiderOrange DelightPatchouli (again, says it's extra strong; use only half as much)PeppercornPomegranatePumpkin SpiceRaspberry PatchouliRed Currant (Votivo type)Vanilla ExtractDarbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 What are you wanting to use them in?I have used their Aspen Glen and Angel Wings in soy, 8%, htp and cottons. Both scents are very nice in the soy but are not overpowering, blow your doors off throws. They are just really nice and soft. I did soap the Angel Wings once a few years ago. Just going on memory and not on my notes, the scent held well and did not morph and if their was discoloration, it was not such that I remembered like you do with those scents that discolor a lot.

heirloomoriginals Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Definitely Peppercorn, Citrus Splash, Dogwood, and Red Velvet Cake. Country Sunshine is nice as well.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks, girls.What are you wanting to use them in?I was hoping the 'Stress Relief' would be safe for b&b, but...... I'm not finding it on the site. Apparently since I got that recommendation they've quit carrying it. The other scents are for candles, unless BCS says they're safe for m&p soaps, lotions and oils, body sprays, and perfume oils. I've found their Scent Cellar section too:http://www.bittercreeksouth.com/scent_cellar.htmThere are some interesting looking ones there ('Malibu Beach' and 'Herbal') at excellent prices, if they're any good. Any experience with those?The Closeouts section has some intriguing ones too:http://www.bittercreeksouth.com/CloseoutFragrances.htmAny feedback on those?

Meridith Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have not tried any of those. But I remembered I tried the Lavender Mint and it was strong in my soy. I'd give it an 8 out 10. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 I was hoping the 'Stress Relief' would be safe for b&b, but...... I'm not finding it on the site.I found out from sisterkaren that she uses the 'Spearmint Eucalyptus' from Bitter Creek North (thanks, sisterk!), and it is not available at Bitter Creek South. So that explains that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 BCSs Dogwood, Peppercorn, Raspberry Patchouli, Harvest, and Gulf Tides are EXCELLENT. I also use their BNutBrd and Caramel Walnut for the holidays. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GourmetSoy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've never seen the scent cellar at BCS! I clicked on your link and it took me right to it but when I look on the site I'm not seeing it. Where did you find it at? Maybe I'm just blind:)Fos' I've tried from there:Red Velvet Cake~awesomePumpkin Cheesecake~awesome too! Body safe but I have a reaction to it because of the cinnamon.Gulf Tides~ really nice fresh scent and really strong!Citrus Splash~ awesome throw but can't sell it, it's on my closeout listSissie's Sugar Cookies~the best sugar cookie I've tried, great throw in soyMulberry~ they aren't kidding when they say you can use half as much, it's SUPER strong!Lemon Bundt cake CO~ great!Vanilla Extract is good but they have better vanillas IMO at BCNScratch Cake~ super strong but not body safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Phelps Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I found that a lot of their scents are weak. I use 6006. BUT.....I love their vanilla extract, the sugar cookie smells like the real thing, very strong. I was in there the other day and the watermelon smelled pretty good. Dogwood is strong. I buy wax from them, and my scents from other companies. I have not used all of their scents, just ALOT of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 To be quite honest..... I don't know how I found the Scent Cellar! I keep a text file open when I'm working at my computer, and anything interesting I come across I copy/paste into the text file to tinker with later. I happened to have done that with that link, and when I went back to BCS and tried to find the Scent Cellar again, I couldn't find it. So since they were obviously trying to keep it a secret I thought I would tell all of y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katinka Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Definitely their Rice Flower Shea and they also have BCN's Vanilla Velvet which is their best vanilla IMO. The cold throw is awesome. Their coconut is nice and so is their Sandalwood. I use it as blenders. I also like their Hawaiin Plumeria, but I like JS Plumeria the best.
