leenabug Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I was told that if I wanted to test some really good oils, to try Tony's. But wow, I gotta commit to nearly $100 per fragrance because of buying in bulk......However, I am totally willing to do that if it means I would have a really good strong oil. For those of you that use his oils.........is it worth it? Until now the best oils I have tested were from Bluegrass, with TN coming 2nd. ( I am only listing or considering those that I can still order from, so that doesnt include my experience with those gone out of business) Below I compared the price of Pumpkin Spice...Tony's= $18.50 lb (but I gotta buy 5 lbs)Bluegrass= $18.00 for 1lbTN= $17 for 1lb, if I order 5lbs= $15 lbAny advice/suggestions on your experience? send message if you would rather........... BTW, I use GW464Also, I have tested dozens of oils, now into my 4th yr, from lots of different suppliers on here. I have found some good ones at each place. However, I have never tested more than 10 from one place, so I am not sure if I am qualified to say who's I liked the best.....cause some suppliers have a huge list of scents...........and there is a freak chance I tested 5 "good-ish" ones from one place and 5 "bad-ish" ones from another place. Of course that would prejudice my opinion..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthfriendly Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi, on the main page you will see another retailer you can order from. Click on their East Coast Retailer link there you can order smaller quantities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I just ordered 1 oz samples from his company directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 He is a she, named Diana. Company is actually Southern Garden Scents. Um if you used my wax, I could help ya out. Go seek the samples. The oils are great in soap and a few work well in candles (I haven't tried that many to give you a list of all ... and I stopped looking at the site because I think most of what I have is being discontinued.)

ChandlerWicks Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thank Goodness I thought it was me again! I've poured Dragons Blood & Gardenia, they smell identical to CS's but CS's is much stronger. The Pink Grapefruit is pretty strong so far. I have a few more to go but don't think I'll order again.

Scented Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Really you think DB is better out of CS than SGS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Not better, CS has a stonger HT for me. I'm a newbie so everything I do at this point is questionable! 3 1/2 months in & very few candles work. What % do you use with this fo. Really you think DB is better out of CS than SGS?

lsbennis Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The only two scents I use from them is Dragons Blood and Rosemary Mint and quite honestly when I compared SGS DB to CS DB I thought the SGS was much better, but everyone has a different sniffer.

ChandlerWicks Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Darn then its my wick testing. I either have flame throwers or perfect flames with little HT. I feel if 3 people can agree on the same thing its probably true. ( DB searchs) So my nose is the one thats broken! LOL Thanks for your input! The only two scents I use from them is Dragons Blood and Rosemary Mint and quite honestly when I compared SGS DB to CS DB I thought the SGS was much better, but everyone has a different sniffer.

Candybee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I order from SGS/Tony's and you don't have to buy in bulk. I buy FOs by the lb bottles from them and have used several. So far all have done well in M&P soap and candles; soy, paraffin, and palm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 My bad. They have changed. You have to go to the east or west coast retailer to buy the smaller sizes. Eg. East Coast is Sassy Girls Scents http://sassygirlscents.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16&zenid=tnmq6ilq40b06s5et273v1uee2 and the West Coast retailer is Pure Fragrance Oils http://purefragranceoils.com/Apparently SGS now only does wholesale in bulk.

number2of7 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've used a few of their oils - IMO most of the ones I have used are better suited for b&b as they just don't have a huge scent throw in parasoy.Mata HariBlack VanillaFrosted Pink CupcakePatchouli Musk - this one is strong in parasoySandalwood Rose - theirs is the best IMO cuz it's not just straight sandalwood & rose...it has musky undertones that make me swoon!

leenabug Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 ok, so do any of you that have used Tony's oils, also use Bluegrass or TN? Therefore you could tell me how you compared them in your soy wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
