LeahRB Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Candle Science has another new oneOakmoss and Amber-Many candle fragrances can be classified as only masculine or feminine. Oakmoss and Amber isn't one of them. It has universal appeal with rich woody and musk base notes - yet has an enchanting fusion of herbs and amber that give it a feminine touch too. This complex fragrance is at home in a high-end or natural candle line.Sounds sooo good and I don't think the hubby will let me buy anymore oils right now.. If anybody gives this one a go, please let me know if you like it.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Saw that earlier today. I'm so ordering it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'd really like to try this one. I absolutely love OT's Oakmoss and it has a fantastic throw in paraffin candles.....but it is so pricey I cannot justify using it in candles any longer...except for myself :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantItgreen Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I thought the new CS oils were $.99? It's listed at $1.99 just like the rest. What's up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) We are so spoiled! It will be a while before I can order any new oils. If someone gets this please do a review. Edited January 20, 2011 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bah67 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It should be soon...i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantItgreen Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You misunderstood. Every time (in the past, anyway) when CS released a new FO, they sold it for $.99 for a limited amount of time. I'm wondering if I missed that, or if they're not offering that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybeancandles Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think I read on their facebook page that they are not doing the $.99 oils and that it was a thing that they were trying last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Too bad. Hopefully they may try the $.99 cent sale again. Edited January 20, 2011 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauramw71 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My credit card is hoping they DONT have a 99 cent sale. LOL (at least until after I get my tax refund) haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've jumped this to the top of my FO wishlist. Hoping to pick some up in the next few weeks. Reviews would be lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Expressive Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I have held off purchasing from CS for that same reason. At one point, I ordered 1 of almost every single FO they had except for 2 as I already tried them and was not a huge fan.I contacted them about the 99 cent sales and I am waiting to hear back on that.If they don't offer the sale anymore, then I will be making a small order anyways with a sample size Oakmoss and Amber.

Guest Expressive Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 UPDATE - Candle Science will have their sale as scheduled. Below is a response from Diane:"We have our 99 cent sale twice a year - Spring and Fall. Our Fall sale was in October and the Spring sale will be in a couple of months. As you probably know we don't announce the sale days until the Newsletter comes out listing the dates and any new fragrances. Perhaps the people who are questioning this missed the Fall sale and thought we didn't do it this year.We're testing fragrances now to add at the time of the Spring sale. It will go on as usual.Let me know if you need anything else.Thank you,Diane M.Customer Service Manager" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) My order should be here on Friday. I'll try to get this in some M&P and candles and post my thoughts. Thinking it might do nice in incense too. Will try to do as soon as I can but I'm recovering from surgery and not supposed to really do anything for a couple of weeks. Will have to sneak it in while DH is at work... Edited January 26, 2011 by ProudMarineMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I hope your recovery is quick and painless. Can't wait to hear your results on this FO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Got my CS delivery at lunch. My first thought of Oakmoss and Amber OOB is a bit medicinal. Not horrible. I've learned from MW Witches Brew and some other fragrances not to judge strictly OOB.I put some on a fragrance strip. Dry down is much better. The woodsy mossy smell of the Oakmoss definitely comes through. Haven't decided if it overpowers the Amber or enhances it. I'm still not very good and discerning scents.Made a little warmer oil and have that burning. The fragrance is growing on me. Reminds me more of a men's cologne than a unisex fragrance. Going to try and get it into some M&P before DH gets home.I'm thinking it might be one of those scents you either love it or hate it. But, I could be wrong. Hopefully, someone else will chime in with their thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks so much for that review Proudmarinemom! I also can't wait to hear how it works in M&P. Always looking for new scents to put in my soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ok, got it some M&P and a bit undecided. Now, I did use a goat's milk base and that may not have helped. Also, don't think I used enough FO. It smells pretty strong OOB, so was afraid to go crazy in the soap.The fragrance is nice, woodsy, bit of a mossy/earth scent. It did turn out nice in the soap. For me, I'm thinking it needs just a little something sweet and it will be amazing. Might be a good blending FO. Will have to get some to my testers, see what they think.I tried to do a swirl but had too much of the colored soap. So I got clouds. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Those look nice! I wish I could try one. Did the amber get drowned out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Honestly, I really think it does. But, I might not be able to tell the different notes. I love White Lily and Amber from Peaks and Sweet Amber Musk from AH which is why I don't think that Amber note is really coming through. Wish I could Wonkavision you a bar to get your opinion.'Course I've had a bad case of bronchitis and probably candle nose so I could be out in left field....

ProudMarineMom Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I decided to add a bit of Sweet Amber Musk to the Oakmoss and Amber, just to see what I got. Did a 2:1, Oakmoss and Amber to Sweet Amber Musk. Set the test strip down and saw the other strip from Friday afternoon.Maybe this FO needs a little more time to cure so both the notes have a chance to settle down and not fight each other. The Oakmoss is subtle, the Amber rounds it out and it smells wonderful. A clean fragrance, a little woodsy, a little masculine. One of those scents you kinda wonder what's in it. If my M&P smells anything like that tomorrow, I will probably be in love with this scent.So, thinking the Sweet Amber Musk will spoil the fragrance. Will have to wait and see.

deisel Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 love the look of your soap-it really goes with the name. keep us posted on the scent. i really love amber and am just waiting for a sale to try it. kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This is mellowing out in the soap very nicely. Not quite the same as the scent on the test strip, but getting there. I would love to try this in an after shave lotion/balm to see what it does. Need a couple of more ingredients for that. I am pleasantly surprised by the Oakmoss and Amber/Sweet Amber Musk test strip. That actually turned out very nice. Sweet Amber Musk is a strong fragrance and that is definitely what you smell. But, the Oakmoss and Amber tones down the sweetness and adds some depth. Going to have to try that in soap as well.So, anybody else had a chance to use this FO? What are your thoughts? I would also be interested on how it performs for someone in CP or HP.

Wessex Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I haven't tried it yet (did not do my weekly CS order this week), but realy want to try it. Of course, I just do candles and tarts. A thought occured to me, don't know why as I haven't even smelled it yet. Do you think it would be good mixed with Baby Powder FO? Again, don't know why the thought came to me.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
