LadyJo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Good Lord !!!! It seems like every time I read a new (and tons of old) thread here I see yet another awesome scent I want to try that's recommended from yet another FO supplier. I have a list a MILE long of scents and suppliers I want to try. I will never ever make it through the list ... unless I win the lottery and get rich.

Scented Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 LOL! It's why I stay away from sites until I start needing something. Doesn't help. Doesn't work in the long run, but every now and then I might save some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just sent 38 new scents to my tester! AND I'm already starting a list of new ones to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have to go along with Horsescents. To many suppliers are going out of business.I need to replace alot of my fragrance with the same or a dupe.It worries me because the suppliers I have purchased from had good scents and now my customers will be upset not to be able to get some.I am doing a search on those I got from Bert and AWE. This will take alot of work.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 A lot of work and a lot of wasted money on fos that just don't stack up to suppliers that have gone out of business. It's tough when your customers expect certain scents to be on the shelf and don't understand these issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the least they could do is tell you which manufacturer they bought their FOs from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The only problem with going direct to where our suppliers got the fo is that we would probably have to buy a minimum of 25# of a scent. I tried to do it with the company General Wax uses when they discontinued one of my favorites and the manufacturer said they would make it for me but normally 50# is the min batch, but would do a 25# batch for me...way too much for me all at once.
