hmmm, you will get many answers from that one.
I love peakcandles.com, natures garden, bitter creek, bertsheaven scent. who have you tried, or just looking? look for a place that offers sampler packs, you usually get 10- 1 ouncers for 20 or so. I would say peak is my fav right now. If you go there ask me ive bought many from them, also you can do as many of the same in that deal, som places only allow you one of each fo.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll have to check them out, especially Peak Candles. I'm just shopping around right now, looking for a supplier that sells some good products, that aren't too expensive of course!

Have you checked out WholesaleSuppliesPlus.com?

Right now, they have free shipping on FOs and on some sites the shipping can be really expensive.

I use several suppliers. To me Sweet Cakes is the best, but very pricey. Their scents are incredible.

There are many great companies out there. My favorite is Southern Soapers. The customer service is top notch. Shipping is fast. The scent descriptions tell you if an fo accelerates trace, discolors, contains phthalates, and gives a suggested addition rate. The prices are good too.

Southern Garden Scents are great too. Everything I said about Southern Soapers applies to them also. The Scent Works is a great company too and there are several fo's that I only buy from them. I buy a couple fo's from Sweet Cakes that I can't buy anywhere else but I find them to be overpriced on many fo's and few of their desc. mention if an fo discolors. Check out The Scent Review Board for more info on any supplier.

My 2 favs are wholesalesuppliesplus.com and naturesgardencandles.com. WSP has the free shipping which is AWESOME! I like NG because you can get sampler packs. 10 1oz bottles are $20. I always get a sample size before getting a bigger size.

My personal favorites are Daystar and ScentWorks. Strong, high quality FOs and excellent customer service. I have been very pleased with SoapSupplies as well, Nature's Garden and Wholesalesupplies has been about 50/50 for me. Don't bother ordering from Gelluminations or Brighter Scents (same company).

That's a tough one since everyone's tastes and priorities are so different. I love Daystar, Southern Garden Scents, and Moonworks (not a ton of FOs but some very unique and beautiful ones). WSP's free shipping is nice, Brambleberry consistently has nice fragrances, and The Scent Works has some fragrances that are just amazing. If I had to narrow it down to just one supplier....I'd cry.

I just received my Peak oils and I have to say I love them. However for sake of shipping, I do like Voyageur (Canadian here) since it is in my town. Since the FOs and EOs at Voyageur are as good as Peak, WSP and SOS scents that I have purchased, I'll probably do most of my FOs my shopping there for sake of cost.

So many factors.

I buy from Voyageur as well, since they are within driving distance, but they don't have alot of selection. Most of the FO's I want to try they don't have available. I bought from BB at Christmas and loved every scent. Especially Yuzu. I am going there this weekend and will most likely come home more then I need. LOL

I just ordered 15 new FO's from Natures Garden. Shipping to Can was awesome, and I am excited to try their fragrances. I have one from SW, Nice strong scent, and its sticking well.

Lucky me, I do have an American address I can ship, so Peak isn't even bad. It's just a matter of waiting for the roomie's mom to come up. Nature's Garden is next on my list to try. I just hate waiting, ha.

I'll let you know how I like them. Their service was amazing and let me add on an additional 1oz that I realized I forgot to add to my cart.

Excellent. This pay check is an oils check so by the time you've played with the new fragrances it'll be fragrance time.
