evesorto Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi,Thanks for reviews. It's always nice to hear different opinions on fo/throw/description, etc. I see that you use good, great and awesome. Would you reccomend good? or just great and awesome. Does good signify a "barely there" type scent?I am greatful when I see an honest opinion re: a scent that may not throw too well. It's one less for me to buy/try. This way suppliers can get rid of it and make room for something better.I found the website at BitterCreek a bit strange:undecided I did try a couple of samples of the BNL line (I think this is BCSouth). They smell fabulous oob. They are Cuc Melon and Sweet Pea. I purchased/and am crazy for the BNL Vanilla Sandalwood (Awesome throw). I still have to put the samplers in wax.I was thrilled to get the three freebies (1/2 oz samplers). They were 2 holiday scents...Home Sweet Home, Northwood Christmas and also, Lilac.... Still have to make them up.I will post results when I do.Thanks for sharing,Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so-soy Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Great reviews thanks for posting them! I have not been able to get a decent throw out of the Red Hot Cinnamon in the 415 soy, did you have to cure it for a long time? I use the cd wicks too!
