ssolis Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've never bought a closeout fragrance oil thinking that by the time I test and perfect that the oil would be no longer for sale. However, I've noticed closeout fragrances sticking around for a while on suppliers websites! So my question... has anyone successfully used CO oils in their line with good results? Is the quality significantly less than those in the regular line? Also, what exactly IS a closeout fragrance? I see suppliers say surplus or discontinued, but most closeout fragrances I've never seen on the regular list of scents for sale. Are they "outlet" scents at all with a little irregularity in the formula?Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have always understood closeout scents were ones that the supplier would eventually no-longer be selling. Not, that they are not as good as their regular oils, but that maybe they just didnt sell well for them to keep selling on their regular line.

celicagtca Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've purchased some pretty great CO fragrances that once I tested it, I immediately went back and ordered 5-10 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerjen Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The thing is you could always market these oils as limited editions or scent of the month..jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssolis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 That's a good idea, about the limited edition! It would seem that they wouldn't sell it if it were a "second hand" sort of deal they got as it still has the suppliers name on it, right?Thanks, everyone, for the input!

deb426 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sometimes I'll use these oils for wickless items so that I don't have to go through the trouble of testing the wicks for an item I'm not going to carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
