Sharon44 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Southwest carries oils from Just by Nature and Greenleaf. I believe she used to work for JBN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redraider Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We use their Indonesian Teak and it is wonderful. I call it an all around fragrance. Men like it, ladies like it, not sweet, not fruity, not spicy just a good all around fragrance. I have many customers that burn them in their offices.

number2of7 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Havana Nights -- couldn't get it to burn properly in a candle, but it's amazing in tarts and b&b items.Mexican Vanilla -- does well in all applicationsTuscan Patchouli -- I think they changed the formula a bit since GL and JBN had it (slightly weaker), but still a favoriteIndonesian Teak -- I'm a big fan of this one (very musky heady fragrance)I tried placing an order with them the other day to try some new fragrances, but the shipping rates just seemed outrageous. I contacted them out of sheer curiosity and they explained that they had been having some issues with their new site. I had told her what I was wanting to order and she gave me an adjusted total. Told me I could call in my order so that shipping charges would be accurate. I was impressed with that bit of customer service, but I feel they should post something on their site letting people know that there may be issues with their shopping cart --- I wonder how many potential customers they've lost because the shipping seemed too high! I tell you this to let you know that you may want to call them if your shipping rates seem excessive when trying to place an order...

Sharon44 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I had the same thought about the tuscan patchouli. That is my favorite fragrance out of all my suppliers. Indonesian teak is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use JBN christmas fir in my soy candles but was very reluctant to order a new bottle from southwest because of the shipping..will try calling to see if it will be less.

RWV Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I love their graham cracker (use it alone and as a mixer). I'm not a big patch fan but really did like the Tuscan patchouli. I also really like their sugar cookie, Mexican vanilla, creme brulee supreme, and cedar & saffron. I did NOT like the pineapple slices.

Lorelei Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If I remember right they have a really great Georgia Peach too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh that used to be such a great pineapple and now I have a pound of perfumy pineapple that smells really off. I wondered if the Creme Brulee Supreme might be like the old Creme Brulee formulation that I eventually found at KY?Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yes Chuck_35550, both the regular creme brulee and the creme brulee supreme remind me of Ky's old formulation, the supreme is just stronger.

Kigers24 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a little left in an old bottle of JBN's Creme Brulee and Creme Brulee Supreme smells just like it. Throws the same for me also and wicks the same.The Graham Cracker is the same as GL's Honey Graham Cracker. Also LOVE the Indonesian Teak!! (same as GL had)number2of7: Try mixing 1/2 Havana Nights and 1/2 Indonesian Teak. Awesome blend and should help with the burning issue with the Havana Nights. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
