mzpickles Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Even just an oob impression? A lot of the names and descriptions remind me of oils on other sites, so I'm curious if there are any *must* haves among the new ones! TIA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I ordered one of each! lolI am thinking that several of them sound identical to FOH oils...a company that closed a while back but whose oils are now offered at Elements. The Japanese Pear & Ginseng, "Fresh" Lemon Sugar Type, Sweet Pumpkin and Lime Crystal Kisses are a few that come to mind. If those are the same, they are awesome! Definitely get those. And I have tried these three:Apple Butter & Caramel Apple & Pumpkin Strudel Cedar Sage & Blackberry All are yummy!

ProudMarineMom Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Apparently I was channeling Scented, SYR and the other enablers and ordered 25 of them. Yes, some of them seem very similar to the FOH scents on Elements. I actually got a sample of the Lime Crystal Kisses with my last order. If I knew how to make hand soap like the stuff from BB&W, it would be perfect. Would probably make a nice scrub of some sort.Although, when I get a whiff of the Lime I flashback to Kamikaze shots...:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Oooh what'd we get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I ordered 17 1 ouncers today...most of them from the new list a few from the regular list. Can't wait to sniff...Mistletoe Whisper, Pomegranate Oak, Oak Barrel Cider, Bonfire Bliss, Warm Vanilla Nutmeg, Gingerbread Brulee, Sparkling Poinsettias (that one sounded different), Amish Spice Loaf (wonder if this is like the Amish Friendship Bread from NG), Pickin Pumpkins (still looking for that one pumpkin fo), Frosted Winter Berry (hope it's not like KY's Plumberry Spice..looking for something different although it's one of my favs) and a few others I can't remember now.Hoping I get them soon...usually when I order on the weekend it ships on Monday & I have it on Tuesday but with the sale...who knows.Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thanks HoneyBear for the info, Cedar, Sage and Blackberry is one I got.I tried to find ones that hopefully will do well in Candles and M&P soap. Don't have the guts to try CP/HP and probably not the artistic talent. Plus, we have three dogs and I can be a bit of a klutz, so me and hazardous chemicals, probably not a good idea...Also picked up Alaskan Wilderness, Amish Quilt, Bayberry, Blissful Blackberry, Calabrian Bergamot, English Lavender, Hungarian Lilac, Foral Christmas and Country Christmas, Issey Miyake, Celtic Moonspice, Kumquat, Amazon Mist, Angel Baby, Cherry Mist, Clover Fields and Aloe, Green Tea and Cucumber, Just Peachy, Lemon Verbena, Moon Shadow, Welcome Home, Avalanche, Country Apple and Yuzu.I should be busy for a while!!

LeahRB Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 OH my goodness! I ordered 40! Just can't help myself. I got quite a few of the new ones too. I got frosty pines, sugared shortbread, corn husk (sounded cool), japanese pear & ginseng, lime crystal kisses, lemon sugar, oak barrel cider (extra excited about this one), pomegranate oak, bonfire bliss, aqua and some other ones that have been on my list for a while.I'm a little bummed that I did not order mistletoe whisper, sparkling poinsettias, and frosted winter berry. It all just happened so fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeahRB Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I ordered both the "fresh" lemon sugar and the lime crystal kisses. The lemon sugar smells like lime and the lime smells like lemon. Maybe a mix up? Anyone else order both and notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a mix up? Anyone else order both and notice this?Too funny! I ordered both and am expecting my package from UPS today. I will definitely give them the sniffer test and let you know. I can't wait. I've been wanting to try these two FOs for a while now. I think they would make great sugar scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hehe, I just want to get them straight in case they end up working and I need to reorder...I think both would be great in anything bath and body or candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deisel Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 this is weird!! just got my 2nd order from the AH/RE sample sale and i ordered another pumpkin creme brulee (so i have 2 to play with). the first sample is a very very light tan in color. the one i got yesterday is BLACK!! same labeling & smell the same, but what's up with that? totally black and you can not see through the bottle at all. seems like the color will def affect any product! did this happen to anyone else? kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I only got 1 sample but my Pumkin Creme Brulee is a light yellowish tan color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 My Pumpkin Cream Brulee is a very darkish black oil. For candles/tarts the oil color didn't seem to affect it. I colored them brown but if you wanted to use it in soap (I only do m&p) or other b&b products then the color would make a difference. Wonder why the drastic color differences? Definitely different batches. I looked at my bottle from last season & it's darkish black also so perhaps those of us who got the dark color is from last season. Still smells fab though.

mary0050 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 :yay:My order came in Friday and just had time to look at it because went out of town to take care of my mother. I LOVE the Essence of Jesus and Essence of Bethlehem. Also my Pumpkin Creme Brulee was a light color not dark. Can't wait to get started!

lsbennis Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) So far the only one I have in wax is Bonfire Bliss, I'm burning it at work right now and I do pick up on a strong vanilla note, then a much more subtle smokey note. I would say it has a medium CT and HT. Edited August 17, 2010 by lsbennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergirl Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My pumpkin creme brulee is VERY dark. I poured it in paraffin, not much CT. Will test burn it tomorrow and see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
