IMO Peak's French Vanilla Amber smells very close (and I think better than) SW's Vanilla Sandalwood. It turns dark brown, and is a real accelerator in soap though so be ready. No fancy stuff, just mix and pour. It's a divine scent and sticks forever and a day, so it's worth the hassle. It is...

They stopped updating their web page last summer. That's a bummer because I always checked the monthly sales to see what's on sale that month, and often made orders because of that. Now I just check everyone else's monthly sales. I'll still buy my "must haves" from them, but it's unlikely...

Has anyone ordered from The Scent Works lately? I've noticed they haven't updated their web page since last summer. It makes me leery to make an order from them, but am running low on a couple FO's from there. Are they still in business?

I contacted them and here's the email I got back: Thank you for contacting WSP Customer Service regarding the 8 oz. Fragrance Oil size. Unfortunately the 8 oz. and 32 oz. bottles have been harder and harder for us to secure in the quantities we need. By eliminating these sizes the prices...

What happened to the 8oz options for FO's there? That was all I used to order, now I have to go with 4oz because I can't afford the 16oz sizes??? Why would they do that?

Lol.. that is true. I guess I can do a test bar and see what I think.

I have a 1oz sample of it. It does smell nice, but nothing like sage to me...too perfumy. Just want a plain, outdoorsy, right off the bush scent of sage.

I used Lilac in Bloom from WSP with no problems at all. It smells fantastic and is one of my best sellers. I think it smells exactly like lilac, and have had several customers say so also. I did an all veggie recipe with full gel at .8oz ppo.

I use Japanese Yuzu Grapefruit from The Scent Works. Soaped great (no A or D), ends up at a decent strength but not strong. Now in soy tarts though WOW, throws nice and strong. Also a winner in Lotions, and body wash.

I was at a craft show yesterday and had a booth right next to a PartyLite vendor (new show, guess they haven't figured out the spacing etiquette yet) So I went over and smelled all her scents just to see what they had. They have a scent called "Herbs de Provence" that smells just like sage...

I just got this from the Scent Works because they had it on sale. The Scent Review Board seemed to have mixed reviews on it's staying power. I'm wondering if maybe it's best to not gel it? Can anyone who's soaped this let me know if they gelled or not (are you gellin'?...lol sorry couldn't...

I have a ginger EO, but don't like it and can't imagine smelling it on my lips all day. I got it from Nature's Essence (they aren't in business anymore), where do you get yours? What ratio do you use it with the honey, and does the scent from the honey mellow the ginger?

Does the cocoa powder make it gritty at all?

My fav's are Pink Lemonade from AH/RE, Margarita from OTS, and Violet from GS. I'm always looking to try new flavors, but with so many to choose from it's hard to decide. What are some of your guy's fav's?

Ok I've had a request for a straight Patchouli soap. Right now I use BB's Patchouli FO, but only for blends. The price of the EO is crazy high!! So I was wondering what your guy's experience has been using an FO vs EO. To me the BB's Patch FO smells pretty darn close to the EO I have. Thanks
