deisel Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 i have the sumer fruit and jasmine-it smells really nice OOB, but have not put it into anything yet. seems to smell fruity first, then the floral. never smelled the B&BW version, so can't compare. i do like CW's oils though. what i have tried, i really think are good. you might want to sample their sweet sandlewood (not a true sandlewood-still very nice). also like the patch from them-but again, smells nothing like regular straight patch, but very nice and strong. LOVE the voodoo love also!!!bet you already know all these though! kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Actually I don't, lol. I used their FOs back in the 90s, went away from candlemaking for a while and then never got back to ordering from them for fragrances. What's the voodoo love like if I may ask? I've not seen a summer fruit and jasmine at B&BW, so I don't know what it smells like. I was thinking it might be similar to grapefruit jasmine, maybe just sweeter, but I guess I will be trying it out to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Their Coconut Lime Verbena is dead on, as well as the Black Raspberry Vanilla is da bomb. I buy their extra long wicks and cut em in half for double the use. They have good stuff. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 These are all very strong in paraffin:Black Currant & CassisCaramel Apple CiderButterscotch PuddingEnglish IvyLemon LavenderPumpkin Ginger StreuselSugared Vanilla ShortbreadAnd I also love the Ginger & Frankincense. It was not very strong in my paraffin, but I just love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Scented any of their Ultimate FO's are very good.....great throw in just about any wax at 1 oz./lb or less. I've never used any of their regular FO's so I can't give much feed back on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamCatchersDesign Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Candlewic.comThank you...I'll check it out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well they certainly have some I really, really wanna try, but I limited myself so I could take better advantage of the wick assembly item. There are some I hope to get to try later in the year. I did keep myself in the ultimate category, so we'll see what happens. It was good to see they still have pine needle though. I think I've spent enough these past few weeks that I need to chill now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Fragrance suppliers that have two "levels" of oils confuse me. Doesn't everyone want FO that throws well in wax or B&B? Or am I wrong? I realize not all scents are meant to be strong and burn your nose but I don't understand carrying two classes of oils.

Scented Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 I don't like the multi levels, but since running out of grapefruit jazzy and the SS version wasn't very juicy sweet, I'm in the hunt for something I can fall in love with. Maybe this will be the one. Same is kind of holding true for the Sandalwood Rose. Since running out of the one I had that everyone loved, I need to find another and hope it does not discolor soap. I never tried the SG one because I read somewhere that it discolors soap. What's the point in coloring soap if everything is going to discolor.
