diamondk Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I need to order a good candy cane so I thought I would order from here but I need some suggestions for some others. I don't want to order just one bottle of FO. Unless there is another candy cane out there. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I was in the Flickers Swap, so there's alot I've sniffed that I really like. But... my fave from Flickers is Citrus & Balsam- Very Christmasy! But would make a good scent for year round. Smells wonderful (even in soap!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamR Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I agree with the balsam & citrus, my fave! I also like the french lavender, & I HATE lavender, lol. PamR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camay Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Another balsam and citrus lover here. I just got an order in last week from Flickers. They have quite a few really great oils. One of my faves is patchouli honey, and I hate patchouli! Red Tea, Ginger Lime and Olive Blossom are also great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciS Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Love the Balsam & Citrus. I also carry Cranberry Fig, Olive Blossom, Secret Garden and I love Cranberry Ginger Spiced Tea.I also love Eucalyptus & Cedar but it was OOS last I checked.

mystical_angel1219 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 LOVE Flickers oils. I just started buying from her about a year or so ago. I've yet to be disappointed in any one of them. She is a super fast shipper and right on top with the customer service.Join her mailing list- diamondk.She does sales thru them, and they discuss soaping experiences once in a while. I haven't soaped any of her oils, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Since the Flickers' fans are reading, maybe someone can tell me about their Brown Sugar & Fig. I was told by someone that Flickers has the best, but I've been avoiding adding another supplier. For those of you who have tried theirs as well as others, is it really the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 All I can say about it,,,is I have it in a sampler, and have nothad time to use it...:smiley2: but I will...It does smell good OOB..To me it is not real strong..but I have never bought that same FO anywhere else to compair to..I am sure there are other enablers here...

dirtybirdsoaps Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Since the Flickers' fans are reading, maybe someone can tell me about their Brown Sugar & Fig. I was told by someone that Flickers has the best, but I've been avoiding adding another supplier. For those of you who have tried theirs as well as others, is it really the best? YES!!!!! I actually ordered it when I put in a order for the cranberry fig also GREAT! (my moms friend was on the hunt for a great fig scent) so I figured Id take my chance since so many say its great, and to my surprise it IS! I figured Id be disappointed like every other brown sugar & fig that Ive tried, but Im sooooo glad I gave it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evesorto Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I just tested 8 samplers from her. I haven't had a chance to write reviews. I do recall, they were all good. In my rating scale, all but one rated a ten out of ten. The remaining one, rated a nine out of ten. I use 4627, 10%, eco wicks.Three that may be nice for this time of year (all rated a 10):Christmas Pines- I think possibly the nicest/strongest pine that I've tried. It's a wowser!Fall Harvest- not identical to, but very similar to FOH Atumn Harvest, a smell I happened to like. I think appx $18/lbGrannies Pumpkin Cookies- Wonderful throw, perhaps a bit sweeter than CS Pump Souffle (which is also wonderful)Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Oh for Pete's sake ... I don't consider myself an enabler ... :whistle: not in the slightest ... Amber and musk is quite nice. You're in a swap with me that may or may not (may, OK) have that scent. You wanted romantic at one point and I think this stuff screams hubba hubba. Flowerbomb ... soaps great ... not sure if all of mine have gone caramel brown yet though lol. Hope not or I'll have to give it all away. Balsam CitrusOf A WomanSangre de GradoPatchouli Honey (don't kick yourself for not getting it ... though I am not fond of it OOB)Patchouli Chocolate (just get it and let me know what you think lol ... I haven't placed an order and am trying not to.)Kai ... don't leave home without it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Oh I forgot ... ginger lime ... man that's good in B&BTry her marshmallow and let's compare notes. There's likely more I'm missing ... I just think the Fairy Garden smells like grape, but this may just be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had mine about 6 wks..My soap is about that old...I am hoping that in time it will fade and smell better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nah I loaded up on a sale so I haven't had to buy any in a while. How much did you use? I used 1 oz ppo. So wondering if it is morphing or if the switch over in her oils have somehow altered the smell. Did you let her know you think the scent is different?

8-GRAN-ONES Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes I did...I asked her if anyone else had said anything about it..and she said no..I don't have anything to compare except your (what is left of it) soap bar...do you have old stock of it left? I could send you a sample of mine and some of the soap and let you compair with yours..Because I loved yours..I used 3oz. to 2 lb. of soap..But I alway use more fo..I love my soaps strong..

Scented Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Maybe you used too much FO. I only used 1 oz. ppo so that may be the difference. I always thought 1 oz was too potent lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
