micayla75 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Has anyone tried their fragrance oils? I tested a few of them out today and I'm not necessarily impressed. Most of them don't seem to be very strong and/or do not smell like the "type". Am I not using enough? I was just testing, so I used 2oz of my lotion and either 1ml or 2ml of the fragrance oil. I was using a conversion chart and that is what it said for 2-4%. The max for my lotion is 4%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Personally I'm not crazy about her FOs and have only bought from her twice. Her FOs are hit miss as far as how strong they are. There are a lot of people who purchase from her and are happy though. You can use the search feature and get more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We use a few of their oils, but Blessed is right....they're hit or miss. I put Just Scent in the same category as Nature's Garden. You'll have some good strong ones and then others you'll wonder if they added a little fragrance to their water We use/have used the following oils from JS and were very pleased:Diva (very strong)Pink Sugar (I just like hers best)Vanilla Buttercreme CrunchVanilla SandalwoodAspen Winter (for Christmas time -- it's one of our best sellers)Cherry Slushie (wow)Pixie Dust (great in candles and b&I'm sure there are several others, but those were the ones off the top of my head. So don't give up on her oils just yet....there are some good ones. Just have to ask around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am going to try a different supplier next time. I did try the search feature using Just Scent and I only found threads with the words just and scent in them, but not Just Scent together. I didn't get anything with JS. I'll have to try to figure out a different search phrase. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try some of those the next time!I have the Pink Sugar and the Vanilla Buttercreme Crunch. I haven't tried the Pink Sugar, but the Vanilla Buttercreme Crunch was good. I really liked the Brown Sugar and Fig in a body spray, but it didn't work well in the WSP basic lotion. Maybe it is the lotion? I haven't tried that lotion before, so that could be it. I also tried the Japanese Cherry Blossom, but the scent doesn't seem to be close to the BBW one. I purchased about 20 of them, so I will keep testing them!

CandleMama6 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have tried her fragrances and was not overly impressed with them either. I tested somewhere around 75 of them and there were only a handful that I even thought were descent. So I just got rid of them and went elsewhere. But that is just my opinion.

jenscandles Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Depends what you're using them in for sure, like any supplier. I have used several in my 4794 with great success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The only Just Scent FO I use is Chestnuts & Brown Sugar. It throws like crazy in any soy (even CBA) at 1 oz per pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Back When I was using 415 I tried about 20 testers of them ..None of the ones I tried threw for me...I think there was one that I could smell slightly.. But I see others raving all the time.. Shes the Only one who carries A Pineapple Orchid Ive been dying to try, so I may have to try there again:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Coconut Milk & Lavender (lighter scent, but nice and lingering)...(same as NG's Vanilla Lavender)This is really the same as vanilla lavender? I keep sniffing it OOB and just couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Guess I'll put it in something and see what develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
