KarenOH Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have great luck with their oils in GB415. When Angie had Snowtop I used all their oils and got my wax from them. Was disappointed when they closed up and elated when she re-opened as Miami Erie!Here are the ones I use:Apple Jack and Orange PeelBlueberry BreadBanana Nut MuffinHot Apple PieLemonberry CrispPrairie KitchenCoconut LimeCountry Berry HotcakesCountry CinnamonCranberry SpiceSugar CookieVanilla & OakWarm ChristmasPink SugarI'm still testing Crescent Rolls...so far I'm not impressed but it's the first oil I have found that I've been disappointed in.Still have a lot sitting here waiting to be tested and just ordered 5 new ones...Blackberry Tea, Peppermint Tea, Sweet Potato Pie, Expresso Coffee and Pumpkin Spice Cake!!Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I resisted buying for a long time because I don't like that a supplier also competes with its own customers. As Front Porch Candle, since the cost of their supplies is so low, they are able to offer free shipping and that is a huge advantage. I finally tried a bunch. Here is what I ordered and my reviewWarm Baked Bread - scent was strong enough but some notes were offBread Pudding - weakButtercream Bliss - good but like Daystar betterCrescent Rolls - seems off somehowCherry Turnover - nice cherry scent but no pastry or baking notesAmish Friendship Cake - a bit bland but good yeast cake notesBanana Bread Pudding - weakBlue Sugar - excellentBlue Sugar Cinnamon - excellentCherry Limeade - excellentCoconut Cream Pie - tart, cream cheese type note, very little coconutMexican Fried Ice Cream - good scent but light throwPineapple Upside Down Cake - all pineapple but no cake or bakery notes; pineapple notes are delicious, though!

PAgirl89 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I use a lot of their oils in my 464 soy wax candles.Banana PancakesStrawberry PancakesBanana Nut MuffinsButtercream BlissVanilla Bean NoelSugar CookiesPumpkin CookiesI recently got some of their new oils but I haven't tried them yet, but OOB they smell really good! I'm anxious to try them out in soy. They're shipping time is pretty good too, though I'm about a 7 hour drive from them, so I can get a package from them USPS in about 2 days.

RWV Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I really like the hot apple pie, buttercream cookies and her sweet potato pie is very nice.(similar to NG but threw better for me than the one from NG) I'm still in the process of testing several more from ME.

aviator girl Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I am in love with The Candle Shop FO, haven't tried any others but I to try the Bodacious Blackberry & Back Porch & Primitive Gatherings. What does the candle shop Fo smell like? That one has me curious but wasn't sure what it would really smell like.

kyme1911 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What does the candle shop Fo smell like? That one has me curious but wasn't sure what it would really smell like.Juicy, Fruity, comforting....IDK, IMO it reminds me of my house when I have poured a bunch of scent all day. Not one aroma stands out more than the other, I really like it. I made tester melts for my burner at work, and the guy that works in a office down the hall came down and ordered some from me. Since I started making soap I kinda made a rule that I would not buy FO's that are not skin safe, but with this one I don't care I have to have it in my line..

aviator girl Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for the reply. Guess the name is fitting then right :-) I'll probably add this one to my sample box as I have been curious about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I don't think there is anything not to love. It is also a great scent to offer a buyer who can't make up there mind. The ones that are drawn into your both by the intoxicating smell, but when they pick up individual candles they say "no that's not it"...well I believe this is the scent for them.

marcuset Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just had to post that I got the Sweet Potato Pie this week - oob is very similar to KY's version, slightly more buttery tho. Will see yet...when I have some time will have to put it in wax & then I'll compare side by side. I love KY's, BTW. This one is really good too.

TheWickedWick Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The 10 sample fo's should be here today. Will post an OOB review when the mail comes. I also ordered the Sweet Potato Pie but never tried KY's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I wish I would have ordered the Candle Shop now. My order should be here maybe early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Don't feel bad, Lorelei. I didn't get the Candle Shop FO Either. I will have my samples early next week, too. I did, however, order tarts from her in Candle Shop to try. I'll let you know what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcuset Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'd ordered a small sample myself - couldn't remember exactly how it smelled (I used to order it years ago from her) & it is very nice - very tart, which is what I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
