Trappeur Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I thought the same way too with the oils that expensive BF. But I did something I don't normally do and bit the bullet and ordered 4 (2oz) samples of VBN, Frasier Fir, Frosted Cranberry and Limoncello - which are 6.95 a 2oz sample making the order 24.80 + 7.95 Shipping + 5.00 handling which makes a total of $37.75 for 4 (2oz samples). A little steep I would say, but I ordered. They say free shipping, but it's only free after you order $40.00 of goods. Well, I know that if you order from companies and after they add the shipping (say for a pound of oil) it probably comes out to the same thing as WSP price with them offering free shipping. But if your ordering a LOT OF OILS like say even 7 (1 pound oils) if the average price lets say WSP has on that oil it is probably 10.00 more a bottle than another supplier, the way I think about it is this. That 10.00 more that they charge a bottle x 7 bottles is actually the shipping and to me 70.00 to ship 7 bottles is a LOT OF MONEY! But it is what it is.....if you want it bad enough then you buy it. If you don't, just don't buy from them. But I did like that when you sign up with them they have rewards....That should help some on ordering. This is just my thoughts on the subject.

moonshine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Lonestar used to have a great autumn lodge also if you order from them but I never liked any other of their oils so I switched to WSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I never noticed the handling fee before I just did the math on ordering lonestars pound shipped to me 33.44 wsp shipped with handling fee is 46.95 14.51 more - 90 cents more a pound....but for me the quality is better in my wax and many of their scents I can get else where do add up cheaper for going with WSP with shipping costs Sky rocketing these days but on another note....going back to lonestars site they have new oils and it's been a long time since I tried them.....? Just might have to again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Never mind then... I went ahead and ordered the VBN from WSP. I'm hoping it's as good as TCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfroberts Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 As an aside to this discussion.... I decided to test some other CS samples before I ordered in case I needed more than Fraser Fir. Well, come to find out, the Snickerdoodle is pretty awesome as well. And Black Currant Tea....why have I never tried it before? It's very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received this yesterday. All I smell is wild mountain honey blended with a pipe tobacco. No smoke or fire. A weird overall smell to me. Is this even worth trying in wax? crackling firewood smells like bacon. Is something wrong with my sniffer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) ??? I just choked on my tea WSP cracking firewood, the one I sent you a sample of.....I do not smell bacon at all- it's very soft nothing like SC woodsmoke or BCN campfire but no bacon ? Over here autumn lodge.....I love love love this complex fragrance I don't smell honey at all, pipe tobacco yes- heavy actually and maybe even a touch of cherry but in soy wax when burning this in office people always comment how Wonderful it is and how many different smells come from it I describe it as grandpa smoking a pipe in his recliner in a cozy little cabin with a roaring fire on a chilly damp night I am not real great at picking up on many different notes in fragrances and I seem to really like the unusual ones....if you absolutely hate the autumn lodge I will buy it from you I am dropping the cracklin firewood after getting the campfire, that's definitely more what I was looking for Edited November 10, 2016 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incendia Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 This is a tidbit about the real tree - Fraser Fir. I was thinking my new sample from Candle Science smelled like a fir that grows in our Sierra Nevada, and it turns out it's in the same genus. Ours is Abies concolor, and scent is one of the identifying characteristics. No wonder they smelled similar. We do not have the real Frasier fir in Cali however. Unless cut on a Christmas tree lot in December. From Wikipedia, if anyone is interested in RL trees: Quote The Fraser fir, Abies fraseri, is a species of fir native to the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and other states in the eastern U.S. Abies fraseri is closely related to balsam fir (Abies balsamea), of which it has occasionally been treated as a subspecies (as A. balsamea subsp. fraseri (Pursh) E.Murray) or a variety (as A. balsamea var. fraseri (Pursh) Spach).[3 The species Abies fraseri is named after the Scottish botanist John Fraser (1750–1811), who made numerous botanical collections in the region.[4] It is sometimes misspelled "Frasier," "Frazer" or "Frazier."
