evesorto Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I was torn over whether or not to post this review. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience with the supplier. I found that all of my samples were underweight. I contacted the supplier who refused to accept what I was saying. I had to do a paypal dispute in order to recieve a response to my email. I do, however, like some of the oils and often prices are under $1/oz. I decided to post my testing results and allow each person to determine for themself whether or not they would like to try these oils. I have decided that I may order some of the oils which I have already tested (If I liked them and find that there are no weight discrepancies) but will probably not order any more samplers in the future.Wax is igi 4627, fo is 10%, wick is eco 2 and container is a one oz. tin, appx 2" diameter. I am using a new testing method. I am now allowing the candle to burn for 2 hours before I rate it. I am using my master bedroom which is appx 15'x20' with 8 ft ceilings.A rating of "10" means that the scent filled the room and was an extremely powerful scent.A rating of "9" means that the scent filled the room.A rating of "8" means that the scent filled the room but was a "barely there" type of scent.Anything lower than an "8", I rated as "0".I would only reccomend oils with a rating of 9 or 10.Satsuma- 9This is a very good oil. I think that the one from AH is a bit stronger.Wild Winterberry- 10A very nice fruity scent. I am not sure if it reminds me of winter though.Naughty or Nice- 10I felt that this was similar to the Wild Winterberry. A fruity scent Sugar Plum- 8A Barely there scent. Sweet Potato Pie- 0Smelled a bit like cinnamon cream cheese to me oob, but no throw Toasted Marshmallow- 8The oil did not seep, but it was a little weaker than the Flickers marshmallow Victorian Christmas- 8Nice oob, cold but barely there Under the Mistletoe- 8A pine, cinnamon type smell Winter Wonderland- 8A peppermint type smell Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie- 10Reminded me of Flickers Fall Harvest (FOH Autumn Harvest). I liked it very much. Autumn Toddy- 9Similar to App Butt Pumpk but not as strong Candy Cornucopia- 10No cold throw, but hot throw was very nice Coquito- 10A nice coconut scent. Chestnuts Brown Sugar- 9Cold throw was a 10, but not hot throw? I detected a bit of chocolate in the scent? Fall Leaves- 9Earthy, opium type scent. Didn't love it. Harvest- 10Reminded me of Yankees, but threw much better. Mango Enchantment- 0Awesome oob (for tarts), but no throw in my candle Pumkin Loaf- 10Threw very well, reminded me of a corn bread Splendor of Christmas- 10Excellent throw, reminded me of bayberry and cinnamon Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
