LeahRB Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Was yours $8 shipping on the $10 sampler? Some scents I'd like to try but I do not know.Leah, your results sound encouraging!I just ordered another $10 sampler yesterday and with usps priority mail my total was $18.05. It's hard to beat that price. The Amish Harvest is in my burner now and it is soooo nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megandgarr Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Darnit, now I guess I need to go order some too, lol... I just can not resist! I had a bunch of those FO's in my shopping cart a couple months ago but ended up not buying them (I think I got distracted). Now I dont remember which ones I was interested in. Off to the website!

justajesuschick Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Mine were just ordered today and I got a notice have already shipped. Hope to have in wax this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I wanted to try some of their Lush dupes but there's no scent description given. I've never used any Lush products so wouldn't know if they were spot on or not. For those of you who are familiar with Lush are FB's dupes comparable at all?

LeahRB Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Lush either. I have Teakwood Forrest in my burner now and it is a nice woodsy/masculine scent. I also got my new oils in and I can't wait to start testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunharbor Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Anyone put these into wax yet? Interested to hear your reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Anyone put these into wax yet? Interested to hear your reviews.So far the Teakwood Forrest, Creamsicle, and Karma Lush Type get two thumbs up in wax melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccandle Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Wow, I'm impressed! I placed two separate 10 sample FO orders today and paid for shipping on both and they've already been shipped and Fragrancebuddy also refunded $8.05 for the second shipping cost. That's darn good customer service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm putting them into melts & will start testing soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Jamaica Me Crazy in 75% 4625/25% 4627 melt, 8% FO. Very light & fragrance is bleh, not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunharbor Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Out of the 10 samples I got only 1 really did good...Pink Sands. The others were mostly light OOB and in wax....Was hoping Circus Concessions would be great but it was just so-so..maybe would classify it as medium. Not what I was hoping for. Tested all my scents in paraffin tarts. Creme Brulee started off kinda nice but had a bit of a banana scent to it. Was maybe only medium at best. Caramel Apple, very light OOB & in wax, Sugar Cookie, medium OOB & light in wax, B-Day Cake..very light OOB. Didn't bother to put it into wax, Candy Corn..very light OOB & in wax. Smelled nothing like candy corn. Maple Sugar, maybe medium OOB but light in wax. Prefer AH/RE's Vt. Maple Sugar. Can't remember what else I got.Overall, I was not impressed with what I received. Could have just been what I ordered. Would like to get more of the Pink Sands but won't order just for one scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I ordered (and comments attached):Cake Batter-this had the sweetened condensed milk smell that the whole world, except me, loves. It is a no for me.Candy Fluff-gave this to a friend. Very sweet, young teen girl kind of smell. I was hoping for a Cotton Candy scent.Cherry Lemonade-not in wax yet but the oil is strong and smells great!Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread-outstanding!! Delicious and strong!Circus Concession-not in wax yet. Smells different than I expected.Cookie Kitchen-not ion wax yet. Smells VERY sweet.Home Sweet Home-smelled NOTHING like HSH. Smelled EXACTLY like every Cake Bake that I have ever smelled. Do not know if I got a mix up bottle or if this is what their HSH smells like.Lemon Icebox Pie-delicious!Vanilla Ice Cream-good Vanilla. Welcome Home-had a pine scent that was not part of the description. As with the cream smell, I am not a pine scent person so it was given to a friend starting out. Some GREAT, some okay and some no-go's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Spiced Apples & Peaches- Strong for an hour, then scent was gone.Lemon Drops- Strong for 4 hours then gone, smells like a cleaner.Birthday Cake- Weak, fuel smell.These aren't looking too good in my tart blend. I realize OOB doesn't count because the true scents come out when put in wax, but most of the 20 I ordered smell weak & thin if that makes sense.

sunharbor Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 ChandlerWicks..completely understand what "weak & thin" means. I was quite disappointed in the ones I got too in my wax blend. Glad I only ordered 10 samples. At least I'm glad I tried them..would have always wondered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezy Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Oh gosh, I wonder if they're cutting the oils.. I loved OF.net's oils. (This has to be Luis/one of his family members selling oils under a different company name, due to his non-compete agreement he signed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Me too, SH. Gotta try all the companies just in case. Beezy- I really liked only 4 of OFs, but they were the strongest 4 I've used. You could call FB & ask when they started their business & see if that coincides with OFs closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It's not Luis. This guy has been in business for several years. Luis said he made the oils himself, this guy buys from a manufacturer. Ordering samples is not the same. OF's oils were way stronger then this guys. His name is mentioned in this thread somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Is OF.net gone?I hear strong oils and I wanna try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
