Scented Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I really like her hot buttered rum, chocolate truffles and not a big fan of the raspberry vanilla creme, but hey that's just me. The plum pudding is nice now that I got it to mix lol.I heard the cinnamon cider kicks and maybe someday I'll get to try it lol. I certainly haven't used as much of her scents as others.

Trish Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 OH MY! they all sound yummy, i might just have to order 2 sample packs:p thanksI would definitely get two sample packs! I have so many of Becky's oils, it's not even funny! In fact, she called me yesterday and when I answered, she asked if this was the residence of the "FO Ho" I corrected her and said I was an ADDICT!

bugtussle Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 First Lady, please try a bunch. I would like a 2nd opinion on them. I got absolutely nothing out of cranberry sauce, ultimate vanilla, buttercream crunch, nostalgia and several others. They smelled good OOB and had a little cold throw, but nothing when burning or in tarts. I use either 223 or 6006 at 10%. Please let us know.

MrsUte Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Totally Scrumptious is one of my all time favs!! I also really like jelly donut, Effervescent Fizzy Pop, Sage and Citrus, Oxygen and Rosemary Mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstlady Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm going start with one sample pack, if i like them , will order another one later, staying away from vanilla, i gotten to where i can't smell it, nor cranberry, i made the cranberry spice from peaks and its a very unusual scent, not sure what i thought it would smell like LOL! but thats the fun of testing scents you find out how they smell and if you like them.

Trish Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 OOO I forgot to put Banana Nut Bread on mine! LOL! Trish...you are the FO queen!!! LOL!The whole reason I tried that one is because of you! You were right, it's awesome!!They smelled good OOB and had a little cold throw, but nothing when burning or in tarts. I use either 223 or 6006 at 10%. Please let us know.I mentioned this in another thread to you, but I would recommend you trying cutting BACK on the percentage of FO you are using. MORE is not always better. And IMO, 6006 just doesnt throw anything that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The FO Ho errr I mean the FO ADDICT (Trish) turned me on to JS, and boy I have a love/hate relationship with them. LOLLove her oils, her prices, and her sales are AWESOME, but,......Becky just about kills me every week with those killer sales emails I get! Ok some favs:Hyacinth Chula OrchidCaribbean HolidayRaspberry Vanilla Creme (although I don't think it smells like raspberry at all it's still good)Becky's Ultimate VanillaBanana Nut Bread ( I had a prob. with this at first, it smelled just like nail polish remover to me, but in wax it's YUMMIE!)Girls Night OutPumpkin Nogcranberry sauceThere are sooo many others I want to try, but I swear I'm going broke.I did just buy a bunch of samples from the classifieds, so I'm excited to get those.

firstlady Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Jordon you do like them don't you, LOL! i love trying new scents, boy i better get some more orders in for tarts and baskets this week LOL! lots here to test, i like the way she explains each fo, so many i don't didn't have a clue what they smell like,. now i know. i also like the way she says they do or don't throw good in soy. i use kyparsoy for tarts and candles. boy, i hope her shipping is fast, i'm so excited:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Jordon, as far as I know I do not have candlenose. I pour wonderful vanillas like BC's Vanilla Velvet, Eggnog, BCS banana nut bread, WSP's vanilla buttercream. I get great results with BC's Spiced Cranberry. My 6006 is fabulous with all of these. Maybe JS fragrances won't work in 6006 or 223. I have several gals that test scents for me and they report the same results. When I can't get any throw @ 10%, I see no point in going down to 5%.

Jordan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Yes, I really love JS. I used to carry scents from MANY companies, and now we are down to mainly JS and a few others. Everytime she comes out with a new group of scents, we are able to eliminate another company--it's great. Becky has a great nose, and she consistantly chooses strong oils.

Freezin Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 OKay I have to put my two or ten scents in too...LOL:Cranberry SauceCinnamon CiderCountry KitchenBrown Sugar and ChestnutsHCO - Hyancith Chula OrchardHarvestI am testing the Ultimate Vanilla and so far I like it better than any vanilla I have tried. I am also trying the Berry Balsam. Becky is very generous with her samples and has awesome customer service.I think the Carribean Holiday smells just like Peak's grape cabernet. Anybody else think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I can't get any throw @ 10%, I see no point in going down to 5%.Yeah, if you have others commenting too, I don't know what the issue would be. Some scents just don't throw well in certain waxes. I used to use the 6006, and found the same as Trish, that many scents didn't work in it for me. I wouldn't go down to 5%, that would probably not help matters, but maybe 9%. I never pour over 9% in any of my waxes and get an awesome throw. I have used these oils in ADM pure soy, KY 125, JS 50/50, JS 123, and JS soy. All had great throws.Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously use these in B&B, but have you tried these in candles yet and what is your opinion on the hot throw. I would be incorporating these into 100 % soy and 4730. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
