Although I normally like sales on fragrances I have been surprised at how many sales and for how long that have lasted. I feel like something is going on in the fragrance industry that I am clueless about. Have you noticed the frequent sales and do you have any idea why? I got a notice from...

I spent some time on the BB site and see that they have finally reformulated a lot of fragrances for IFRA49. I always loved their OMH and their Lilac and they now have IFRA's over 5%, as well as Cedar and Safron and Cherry Almond. So, has anyone tried any of the reformulations? Some have...

Years ago, Nurture had a mica called Vintage Velvet. It was my favorite color for one of my lavender soaps. It was a mixture of a medium cool blue and a violet. When they discontinued it, I stocked up but am finishing my last. I need a replacement and expect I will have to blend. Do you...

I have just used up my last Satsuma Guava that I purchased from a Co-op a couple of years ago. I need a new citrus to replace it and it needs to be a fragrance that sticks well enough that the soap will be good to sell in 6 months and use in 1 year. My preference is a blend rather than a...
