jade Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 For anyone who uses or has tried scents from these two companies-do you find them comparable in quality? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I've tried quite a few from js - mostly off the classies- there were some I liked but I prefer NG - I think the quality is excellent - I have never been disappointed in one of their oils, the pricing is very reasonable and I love the website. Much easier to navigate and The scent reviews are very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I like both companies but I have had more consistent success with NG's FOs. I have no idea why...it could be my wax,wick, jar combos...it could be the way the FOs are manufactured...it could just be all in my head.

carol k Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I prefer NG's oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWickedWick Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Another one for NG...top notch customer service too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasureridgecandles Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have used alot of JS oils and I have been really happy. I love the same day shipping and since I'm just a state down from them I have my order the next day. I haven't used any NG so I can't comment on them.

grubbynana Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Definite NG...been burned too many times by JS, no longer use them for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I love NG's site, although it can be dangerous with all of the scent reviews. I am a sucker for those. It makes me spend more! LOL As for the FO, I have tried both companies, but prefer NG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusladycandles Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Definitely Nature's Garden. Just Scent fragrances are very mild. Not as strong as I like for candles. Nature's Garden fragrances are very strong and well priced. Good customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 NG has an awesome site and really great prices, a sides the unique strong oils, I love the wishlist option, and reviews. I love trolling suppliers site's and if they have a wish list option I am sold. Plus reading others oppinions really help in my decision process. They have a great FB page and the co-owner answers questions quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Another vote for NG. I tested quite a few from JS and found they were not strong in my parasoy...even though their website said they were strong throwers in soy. I have replaced 2 of the 4 that I liked from another supplier. And I am sure I can replace their Creme Brulee. One customer likes their Caramel Cinnamon Latte...I will have to look for that one.

Dolphin146 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I vot for NG I used to use JS but NG'S FOs are much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylabs Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 NG here too! We started out with them many years ago...tried fragrances from other companies from time to time, but many times went back. We have used a few of JS, but overall...it's NG. They are an awesome company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakbrookcandles Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) IMHO only.... over the past year JS oils have went downhill in quality. Been replacing the few that we use as we run out. I will say this though the vanilla bomb ROCKS! Mulberry spice, fudge brownie, cream brulee, blueberry cheesecake, lilac have all changed for me.. no longer good throwers.. Havent tried many NG oils but after these reviews im gonna mosey on over there and get some samples.

Lizzy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 NG all the way. I used a few of JS' oils in the past but after my last order I decided it was time to switch. I received my FO's in a padded envelope instead of a box mind you they were only 4oz'ers to finish up a few holiday orders but come on...a padded envelope? I will miss a few FO's but I am sure I can find replacements.As for quality...hit and miss. And they do not all throw fabulous in soy!

moonshine Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I ordered alot of samples of JS- probably 20 and 2 of them made the cut- Blueberry Cheesecake is strong in soy (135 & pb) and their Wild Currant Sandlewood is amazing!! Super strong wonderful scent- the rest....well they flushed well! LOLI do love NG but am finding alot of my samples are coming out weak (mainly the florals)- I think for all FO comapanies it will be hit and miss for everyone-to many variables in types of wax, etc..but I do recommend the Wild Currant Sandlewood from JS and my hands down favorite from NG so far is Cracklin Birch!Good Luck!Before I spend tons on samples at Peak- anyone have suggestions on what is good and strong or opinions on that company in general?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Peak is an awesome company. I have tried lots of FO from them and have yet to be disappointed. Some of my favorites are: French Vanilla & Amber, Green Tea, Country Berry Hotcakes, Cappuccino Hazelnut, German Chocolate, and Cranberry Citrus.I ordered alot of samples of JS- probably 20 and 2 of them made the cut- Blueberry Cheesecake is strong in soy (135 & pb) and their Wild Currant Sandlewood is amazing!!

lmc Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 In C3, Peaks Blackberry Sage, Lemon Poundcake, Vanilla Bean Nectarine, Peppermint Kiss, are all great throwers for me...hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimee81 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I recently ordered from JS for the first time:LilacAbercrombie & Fitch Type FierceSpiced Apple PecanEucalyptus SpearmintFlip FlopToasted MarshmallowVanilla Buttercream CrunchGain TypeClean Crisp Cotton SheetsSnuggle Wild Orchard Vanilla TypeI have to say, I will definitely order from her again. I made soy wax melts and got a good throw on almost all of the oil's at 8%. With that said, I LOVE NG also and have ordered from them for years. I have had quite a few scents that did not do well for me from them though but that won't stop me from ordering from them again because I only carry scents that will throw for 30 hours minimum and some of NG's that failed for me only lasted 1 day or about 15 hours.I just ordered 10 more scents from Just Scent and hope they are just as awesome as my last order! The customer service is super fast and awesome and next day shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Before I spend tons on samples at Peak- anyone have suggestions on what is good and strong or opinions on that company in general?I've been out of the loop a little bit so I'm not up on all the new fo's but these below have always been good for me (soy wax/containers) and never a complaint. I've never had a problem with Peaks. They have an instant chat feature on their website that is real handy and they are always very helpful.Banana Nut BreadBlueberry MuffinCinnamon BunsFrosted Carrot CakeSugar Plum Berries (super strong in Soy)Vanilla Hazelnut (subtle and not over powering) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Peak vs. NG or JS is comparing apples to oranges. I find NG and JS comparable and not in a good way. I personally have had great success with Peak, Candle Science, Tennessee, and Kentucky which merged with AH/RE. (Just my .02). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
