    Where can I smell fragrance oils and essential oils before buying them?

    Does anyone know of places to go to smell essential oils and fragrance oils before buying them? I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but I'd drive 200 miles to have this opportunity. Maybe even farther. As far as I know, all I have near me are grocery stores (like whole foods) that sell tiny bottles of...

    Very nice! I agree about BB's Sensuous Sandalwood - one of the better sandalwood FOs I've smelled.

    Fragrance Oil Review Snubbed Me - Help?

    I've applied twice with a paid-for email address and I've yet to get a response. The first time I applied was Feb 6 of this year, and the most recent application was just over a week ago on July 3. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

    A couple quick questions

    I've not used a milk can, but I have used Pringles cans before, without a liner. But, without a liner, it's a one-time use mold. Before I started soaping, I did a lot of research on books. I checked out over 20 soaping books from my local library system and read reviews online of books my...

    Iced Mocha Soap (or My 1st Embed)

    Here's a story about a bad batch that went from falling apart to falling in place. About two weeks ago I tried to make a coffee soap with swirls and a pencil line. The loaf fell apart along the pencil line, plus the scent was disappointing. I threw it in a bag to save for a rebatch. Day before...

    How does ricing affect the soap?

    Update My fears of having to rebatch were unfounded. It turned out just fine. The top has a tiny bit of a bumpy-looking texture, but, other than that, everything melded very well. Here's a pic of the sliced loaf:
