SliverOfWax Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Your question is not possible to answer.All suppliers sell some good oils.All suppliers sell some not so good oils.Oils alone don't determine strength of the finished product. You'll just have to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysWondering Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi! It is true that you will have to test but there are suppliers that get more positive reviews rather than negative and vice versa in general. Off the top of my head.....Again, each has good and bad but overall, Bert's, Nature's Garden, Aroma Haven, DayStar, Candle Science and Kentucky tend to get above average marks on this board.Wellington and Just Scents tend to get average or below average for scent strength. Bitter Creek North seems to be a toss up but I've seen many posts about customer service issues. Not sure what the issues were, though.This is just my observation and even Wellington and Just Scents have some real winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Are you maybe looking for some suggestions of what we interpret in our own applications to be strong scents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just my opinion and just my experience, but here it goes:Nature's Garden - very good; only a couple that did not work for me.Bert's - most are good and strong.Daystar - very good but generally very expensive!Peak's - excellent; can only think of two I wasn't impressed with.Candle Science - excellent; again, perhaps just a couple that weren't so hot.Cajun - very, very good FOs. Their Christmas Memories is the very best as far as I'm concerned.Starrville - excellent FOs, somewhat expensive.Moonworks - great FOs there; some can be a bit pricey.The Candle Source - very good FOs; only a handful that were so-so for me.Bitter Creek North/South - for me, it's a 50/50 thing. Some do very well, and some are true duds.Kentucky Candle - As Bitter Creek North/South.Lone Star - I know I may be in the minority here, but most of their oils don't seem to work in my wax. One notable exception: Autumn Lodge.Waxes I use, in order of frequency: The Candle Source, 4794, 415, 4633.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 you know, i have found you can have a light OOB fo..and once it is in wax..it explodes..i think every supplier has good and bad..and that depends so much on the wax you are using..

SliverOfWax Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 you know, i have found you can have a light OOB fo..and once it is in wax..it explodes..i think every supplier has good and bad..and that depends so much on the wax you are using..Of the many hundreds of oils I've tested, I've never had that happen. It might change and you might detect notes you didn't notice oob, but it doesn't get stronger. It simply can't get stronger when it's diluted.

It simply can't get stronger when it's diluted.I can name at least 10 Fragrance Oils I use that come to life in wax and are not good at all OOB, particularly those with vanilla notes. French Crumb Cake, Toasted Marshmallow, Creme Brulee come to mind. Green Tea and Cucumber really blossoms in wax compared to OOB. Nature's Garden Vamp Vogue is another that is wonderful in wax and just OK OOB. Just to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcuset Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Candle Cocoon is excellent too. Have to agree, though, it's all subjective. Edited March 10, 2011 by marcuset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have the best luck with Candle Science and TN with my parasoy, but I use many other suppliers too. Peak's, Backwood's, ICS are other favorites. It's generally easy to find plenty that throw in parasoy. You will always get some duds. Good luck to you. FO is addicting when you get going.

Debra Phelps Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I can count on Millcreeks to be strong. BCS very weak except a few, NGs a lot of good ones, some duds, Candle Science, great, Peak, the ones I tried were very good. Starrvilles always strong, Wellingtons top grade is awesome but pricey, I like Kentucky, I thought the ones I use are very strong, Candle Wic is very good and not so pricey on some.
