YooperCandles Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Anyone every get scents from Gemlite Fragrance Company off of Ebay?They seem to have a large variety of scents at a very good price, which is what makes me leary. I am having a fundraiser that wants some scents that I dont currently have, such as lilac, gingerbread, and cuke melon and I saw that Gemlite has them all.Any feedback on them (negative or positive)Thanks ~ Pamscentimentalgifts@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I also work w/soy & found the fo's to be really good. Not a huge selection of 'current' scents, but really good basics. The LemonGrass is super strong, the Citronella & Lavender Creme are also super strong & all 3 mixed make a fabulous 'bug candle'. Mint Creme didn't rock my world. Pomegranate is nice, but I only use it to mix Bird of Paradise & it works great for that. Overall, you can't beat the prices, they ship very quickly, have great communication & offer flat rate/combined shipping. I read several boards & have never seen a bad review. Susan.

geekrunner Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I have a bunch of their 16 oz bottles, haven't tested them all yet, but so far not impressed with them. Some are very strong, some leave a bad taste in my mouth, literally! The Hazelnut Coffee is very strong, you definitely want to keep your load of that to 6% or lower. However, if mixed 8:1 with a good French Vanilla it is not bad. The Pine is the one that leaves the bad taste in my mouth. Christmas Spice is nice, the French Vanilla is LAME, Green Apple and Candy Cane are nice, Patchouli smells fine out of the bottle but smells horrible on cold throw.My opinion on Gemlite scent is that it is a B grade scent at a very good price. Some of it is OK and some can be used to mix with other scents to tone the stronger ones down. If anyone wants to PM me, I will PM back with more scent evaluations as I go along.

Rae Ann Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I thought their customer service was great and wish I could say the same for their scents. Some were ok but I thought their Lilac smelled like a port-a-potty It may be worth trying some samples but I wouldn't invest in larger sizes until you test them first. I didn't have much luck with the ones I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennipom@yahoo.com Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I ordered some orange creamsicle, will leave a review in a few days. I havent had much luck with orange scents yet, so I am not getting my hopes up about gemlites either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
