Sharon44 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Needed an oil from southwest candle so I ordered some tuscan patch at the same time. It is completely different from what GL and JBN sold. I'm travelling tomorrow, but will try to call and see when it changed or if the wrong scent was poured by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you sure it's supposed to be the same? I had Tuscan something or other from GL, but it wasn't Tuscan Patchouli. I can't remember what it was, though. I was not a frequent GL buyer, but I don't remember a Tuscan Patchouli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Pretty sure GL had a Tuscan Patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yep, it was Tuscan Patch - I recently finished burning a candle made with the last little bit I had left from the GL days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Well, OK, then. I missed it completely. I wonder what it was I had. And I wish I had Tuscan Patch. It sounds wonderfully rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon44 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I really don't like it when a supplier tells me it's the same when it's clearly NOT. Then they tried to tell me its because the oil I have is old, so the scent would change. I agree that some oils don't keep as long as others, but this is simply not the case with tuscan patchouli. She also told me they did not take over the whole product line, just the domain names. So , I will stop referring them when people are asking about GL or JBN. Funny thing is that I contacted this company back when they took over JBN, and they told me they would be carrying their oils. I like the tuscan patchouli they carry and will test it. It smells closer to Angel type to me. I just wanted to let you guys know, it's not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Southwest's description of TP says it has undertones of citrus ++ but the TP I had from GL, I'd call the citrus a top note - I found it fairly strong. (Maybe my sniffer is on backwards !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I used Tuscan Patchouli when GL carried it, then when JBN carried it -- I now use it from SW, and although it's slightly weaker, it's identical to what I've used all these years. Not sure why yours is different ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon44 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 When was the last time you ordered from them? I'm wondering if they sent the wrong oil. It's so different from GL and JBN, but they were not really interested in exploring the possibility of an error on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon44 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 So, I've been comparing the "new" tuscan patchouli and it smells alot like Angel "type" The tuscan I got from GL had a sweeter smell to it. I think I will drive over there one day and have a sniff!!I did contact the candlemakers store and they say they can dupe any oil. I like what I have from GL, so I'll be sure to save a couple of ounces for them to duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
