    Fragrance Buddy- anything I just *have* to get?

    I ordered Saturday and got my order today - Thursday. Plus, Monday was a holiday. FB always does a great job with shipping! OOB - Bombshell is BLAH, but I've learned with this company not to judge OOB. Put it in the product and WAIT the 30 day cure period. Some of their fragrances need...

    Lost my wholesale account, oh well.

    I say... Oh well too! There can not be too much of a profit margin in the current contract. It takes a lot of time to package and label soap. Their focus is price because they are giving it away. They aren't concerned about quality. They knew the $2 price was a short term deal... They got...

    Struggling with FO Purchases

    when I test my fragrances, I make a regular size batch of batter and then use individual cavity molds to test 1 fragrance per cavity. This way I can test 12 to 16 fragrances at a time. I do different color mica drizzles on top of the soap to tell them apart. My samples are 2 to 3 ounces each.

    Struggling with FO Purchases

    Absolutely! You can have first dibs the next time I stumble across a fragrance heavy in these fragrance notes. I am not a huge lavender fan either :shakinghead:. However, I will happily cross the garden path and walk through some Eucalyptus or Camphor! EVERYONE'S nose is different. I try...

    BeScented FO

    I've thought about ordering from her in the past, but the lack of reviews caused me to not to. I would be very interested in hearing any feedback on her specific Fragrances. I don't expect every Fragrance to be a winner. Knowing the winners and losers in CP would make purchasing from her...

    What is the best fragrance oil ever?

    Now don't yell...

    I've started doing my tests samples this way...a 3 ounce bar (uncolored) with a Mica swirl on top. The Mica swirl allows me to identify each fragrance when I unmolded the soap. This method is good for testing fragrance strength, fragrance stick, discoloration, and ricing. It is not the best...
