rctfavr3 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Of the many millions of fragrance oils out there; have you ever struggled to find a specific scent you desperately wanted only to discover that no supplier carries it? What about strange customer requests, scents from memory, food fragrances, etc? I've wanted a few fragrances that have been impossible to find for reasons unknown.Have you ever wanted/needed a fragrance you couldn't find? If so...what was it? .

NaturallyTru Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Raspberry Thyme - it's a dup to a discontinued PartyLite scent. Ended up mixing my own. I don't know how close to the original it is; but it has satisfied my customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sweet Chili Pepper--not a blend, just the chili pepper please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) YES! I would like this one too! UPDATE!~ I just found out that SOS will be unveiling more FOs in it's line of novety fragrances in the coming weeks...Not sure if anyone has ever wanted these but here's a few "can't find" scents that can now be found at Save on Scents whether you want them or not! Hobby Glue FO, Basement FO ( not a clue) , magazine FO (would be cool) paper FO ( probably a good blender) sidewalk chalk ( huh?) money (who doesn't like cash!) and that's just to name a few. I've already put in a order for some of them just for the heck of it. Can't wait to try them. Although, I have to wonder...Is it just me, or does it seem like SOS was "sniffing the glue" when they came up with these!? These aren't scents I would actually purchase on a regular basis, but I'm fairly sure SOS would be the only nuts to carry them.

Candybee Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) SOS has always carried those hard to find unusual scents. I have heard some mixed reviews on them, some good, some bad. Haven't tried any myself. I need another FO suppliers like I need a hole in my head. Edited May 1, 2012 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) SOS is hit or miss. Usually more miss. Ha! But they are my go to supplier for those oddball novelty scents that a select few of my customers request. It's always good to offer a few.I would like a chili pepper fragrance though! I've tried SOS mexican spice and it was actually pretty close to a sweet chili pepper, but being a blend; I felt it was a little heavy with cumin spice. Good attempt just not what I was looking for.

Beth Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I just received my 1st order from Save on Scents. OOB I'm really pleased! especially after such mixed reviews, lol. Their Fracas dupe is dead on. Can't wait to get the others in wax, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I'm starting to like them more and more. Especially their newer scents OOB - some will up and vanish once in wax but most are as good OOB or better once waxed. I'd be interested in hearing how they work for you. It's hit or miss like all suppliers. I still have to order in Extreme or Ultra Concetration. SOS concentration is crap for the most part! UPDATE ~ A scent that's finally available to us...If you do order from SOS don't checkout without first adding ISO E super to your cart! THIS scent is the best fragrance fixative and blender available! Chances are good that most any PERFUME currently on the market has this aroma chem in it! It's a god amongst men in terms of awesomeness and sweet staying power. The fact that it's now made available as an FO is nothing short of a miracle! Get it! No joke. It's like liquid crack!

rctfavr3 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Milkweed flower.Never heard of it. Sounds interesting though. Did a supplier carry this - EO anywhere?From the descriptions of it I'm guessing it would smell like a hybrid of tuberose and latex. Neat!

Zelda Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I would love to find a somewhat reasonably priced straight up Galbanum. SOS has one that smells great but priced at $15.60 for one ounce of the xc extreme i just can't justify using it for my candles. Although i do appreciate the tip about their ISO E Super, going to place an order for that, thanks rctfarv3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candly Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I haven't been able to find a straight gin to use as a mixer. Found a couple that are already mixed into different drink-scented FO's but not the one I'm hoping to blend up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the major issues I have with SOS. Tons and Tons of FOs but prices are a little too high. if they'd scale their prices back at least 25% I'd consider ordering more from them. You can always order an oz, and shop around to find a supplier to dupe it.I haven't been able to find a straight gin to use as a mixer. Found a couple that are already mixed into different drink-scented FO's but not the one I'm hoping to blend up.Yes. A good Gin would be a nice blender to have. I'm still looking for a straight rum. A sharp Gin and tonic without the fruity embelishments would be great though! Edited January 18, 2013 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelda Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I bought a gin from Sweetckes and love it. Its straight gin with no fruity additions. Its a harder oil to throw in candles though, but smells really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
