I haven't ever ordered from them before, but I want to try a few oils they have. I know some of these have already been reviewed, but it doesn't hurt to ask for a second opinion, right? So, if anyone has any input on these, or any other NG must haves, or must NOT haves, I would love to hear your opinions. I'd especially love input on their performance in soy/parasoy and/or their lasting power in tarts. Thanks!

Don't forget Frosted Lime Cupcake, Toffee Apple Crunch, Fresh Linen, Egyptian Dragon, and 7-Up Pound Cake.

[countyline]

Thanks! I think I'll add the Frosted Lime Cupcake for sure. I wonder if it smells like Yankee's Vanilla Lime? Any thoughts on the ones I listed? I need to narrow it down a lot!

Capri Olivo is very nice and Doodle Bug is yummy good.

Yacht Club... Fabulous fragrance. I think it will make it to my best seller list this year![/quote]

I have only tried a few from your list. But I can vouch for the very good customer service of NG. Very professional, well packed shipments, nice products and quick shipping. A+++ in my book! HTH

[funkymonkey66]

I just placed a huge order with them today 23 pounds of fragrance. I agree with doglover.

I love NG and can say without a doubt they are one of my favorite suppliers. A few times here and there that I had issues but they correct it quickly.

Kathy is a sweetheart, I love her too.

[countyline]

Thanks! Anymore suggestions? Also, anyone know how their facebook you-know-what works? I added them as a fb friend, but I can't find it on their page. Probably expired?

Have any of you used Sugar Cookies in wax? I've poured a couple of testers (paraffin pillars) and have only done 1 first burn. I know what I'm thinking but don't always completely trust myself since I'm in pollen hell here.

Please tell me your opinion on this one!

[funkymonkey66]

I thought it was light.

[TheWickedWick]

I use Mrs. Claus Cookies when I need a sugar cookie aroma. Great in my parasoy blend as well as b&b products.

[ckelley116]

Beach Daisies is NOT like Sun & Sand. It's nice though. Very...beachy More floral than anything but without being old-ladyish.

The only other one you mentioned that I use is Indian Summer. That one's great too. Very fruity - it was a big hit with my MIL's co-workers (the 45-60 female demographic).

I use 4627, FWIW.

Thanks! That particular demographic is probably 40% of my customers, so that should be a hit! Think I'll give Beach Daisies a whirl anyway. I still need something beachy. I LOVE Sun and Sand, though!

[TheWickedWick]

On your list I have put these into parasoy tarts and they were great:

Bermuda Triangle...similar (IMO) to Peaks Jamaica Me Crazy

Mango Peach Salsa....really fresh..more mango & then the peach comes thru.

Wild Wild West...Um..were do I start..OOB smells to me like cowboy boots or something similar. Was not good in tarts and didn't like the smell in my house. Would be good in a men's b&b product though.

I use tons of NG's fo's. I'd say 95% of them I like and do well in tarts. I also use them for b&b. One that does well in my area across the board is Kaylin's Herb Patch. I renamed it to suit my area (Carolina Herb Garden). Seems to do well in all age groups.

[jonsie]

I just received a # of Sugar Cookies from NG and OOB is smells light compared to the Sugar Cookie I've gotten from my local supplier here in Western Australia, ACS. Unfortunately, ACS is out of the scent and my friends are asking for more. I'll pour some of the NG Sugar Cookies and try to report back.

I love NG's Australian Bamboo Grass, and it is a big seller for them. I poured 7% in some GW464 and the CT didn't seem strong enough.

[jutro75]

Good morning everybody,

I LOVE Nature's Garden. All the oils I got from them (will be over 80 now) are awesome. You absolutely have to have Pineapple Paprika, Dragon's Blood, China Rain, Hummingbird, Asian Pear Lily, Bamboo and White Grapefruit, Money is great, Wild Wild West smells like new Italian leather, great too. Caribbean a must have too. And of course a Blueberry Muffin, OMG it smells so good.

Caribbean - LOVE this one

Frozen Margarita - very citrusy, nice fresh scent

Money - awesome

Bamboo & White Ginger - absolutely

Tooth Fairy Taffy - yummy, gotta have it too

Vanilla Bean - best Vanilla ever

Asian Pear & Lily - YES!

Chipotle Salsa - smells like spicy salsa, not for me, I wouldn't use it in candles

Texas Barrell Cactus - must have

Wild, Wild West - smells like italian leather, very sexy to me

Mom, The Apple of My Eye - smells like apples, very nice scent

Smiles!

@Izabela...I have a sample of Money, and OOB I'm not so sure about it. How HT & CT once it is in the wax?

I have been keeping my eye on the Pineapple Paprika, I may have to give that one a try.

Thanks :smiley2:

[aviator girl]

I finally put pineapple paprika in wax tonight. It smells really nice OOB. I can't wait to try it out in a few days.

...I have a sample of Money, and OOB I'm not so sure about it

Me too-I have the same thought. Edited May 3, 2010 by aviator girl

[countyline]

I just started testing my Money tart, and I actually really like it! It smells very clean! Not sure how long it will last, but the CT is light, HT is good. I would call it a very nice, clean light fragrance (in soy.) I think it would be fabulous in B&B.

[lsbennis]

I finally got the Money fo in wax and have been burning it for a couple of days now. To me its a nice scent but in my wax it has a very light CT/HT, I agree that it would be nice in B&B.

[countyline]

Strawberry Passion: getting rave reviews from one of my testers! Good Ct/HT and long-lasting!

Kiwi Watermelon: Didn't fare so well. Tester said it was very weak. I though cold throw smelled just like a wine cooler!

Money: Nice, but too light for melts.

Doodle Bug: Conflicted on this one. Everyone LOVES the scent but says it doesn't last as long as the rest of my fragrances. Totally bummed about that. They like the smell so much, that they still want me to make it, though!

More to come, as I get them tested!
