earthfriendly Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yay, just wanted to let you know that they now have the 2 oz. samples on all their fragrances. I wanted to try the new test market scents but didn't want to buy 8 oz to test so I am excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I admit that I am excited too. I have always purchased TW Select Shades, but I have always miissed the fragrance oils being gone. I miss their Lily of the Valley terribly and I probably always will. I have never smelled one remotely like it. I probably have the biggest Lily of the Valley FO collection ever... I ordered four 2 oz fragrances from them. I HOPE they are good oils, and I hope that TW is on track again.

ProudMarineMom Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 They had Lily of the Valley, Plumeria and Hawaiian Sandalwood on co-op in April. I'm signed up for their newsletter but did not get the notice. Apparently they are also advertising on Facebook, which I don't have. The first two sold out but they are supposed to be putting them back in their stock fragrances. Hawaiian Sandalwood has already been added.I think their Blackberry Fig is the best out of the original 5 they offered. Ordered more of that to try in CP as well as the Hawaiian Sandalwood. Just poured a CP test batch of that. Candybee said it was a unique fragrance and it really is. It's definitely a sandalwood plus other notes that make it complex. I really liked it in my oil warmer. Also ordered the Harvest Fields test fragrance. Thought it might be a good fragrance for a wheat beer soap. It's a fresh, earthy fragrance. Might be a good Fall scent that is a little different than the pumpkins and spices.EF, let us know how you like your samples. Since they now have them in the smaller sizes might try a couple more.

I'm signed up for their newsletter but did not get the notice.I am signed up too and received notning. Do you know if the Lily of the Valley was their old formula or a new one? In the old one, you could actually smell the green in it without it taking over the flower petal part of the scent. Their old Pumeria was beyond amazing too.

When I started making candles they were pretty much out of business. So, never had an opportunity to try their fragrances. Thought I had read, somewhere on the board, that their Osmanthus was one of the best. They have that one in their test fragrances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I used to use their Mango Sage Tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeggyK Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I searched already and I am sorry if it was already discussed - but was Hawaiian Sandalwood the only TW fo that RE decided to carry? I was really looking forward to the other scents, but I never saw that anything (besides HS) was added. I emailed RE about 3 times to ask but they never responded. Does anyone know if they will ever carry anything else from TW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It appears so. I thought they were going to pick up more, but then didn't. You might keep asking, but instead are ya ... give them suggestions on what you'd like to see maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't heard people express enough interest ... just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have always loved TW oils. I never thought to contact a company to let them know to stock a certain product. I just assumed the company would offer a product and see if it sells well. Honestly, I have given up hope on getting any TW fragrance oils. I have come to the conclusion that their oils are completely lost to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I feel the same Noodle. I really miss their fabulous oils. They had some of the best. The only ones I know of that are out there are of course the Hawaiian Sandalwood with AH is now carrying and then there is Christmas Tree which Fillmore Containers is carrying. I haven't found the exact FOs for their Lavender Flowers and Cucumber Melon but I did find close duplicates. SGS or Pure Fragrance Oils has a pretty close Lavender and Cucumber Melon. Not as good as TW but the closest I could find so far. Edited August 26, 2014 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Candybee, what kills me is that I gave TW another shot after they reintroduced fragrance oils after a long time without them. I fell in love with some of the newer ones. Then, within a year or so, TW decided to close up shop with their fragrance oils. Seriously, I felt screwed all over again. Their "new" apricot, magnolia, and neroli were to die for. I have never felt such sad frustration with a company before.

Guest OldGlory Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 So true about that Neroli. Gosh I miss that oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Now I am glad I never tested the new ones. I kept drooling over the descriptions but fortunately didn't get any. What kills me is that AH was supposed to be the new buyer. So what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You are right Candybee. It is a good thing that you never tried the new ones. The scents were just as amazing and in the end just as fleeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am too busy during the work week at my day job to make phone calls so I figured I would hear back. I am not a Facebook member, but if that is the only way companies communicate now, then I guess I will have to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I'm not mad at AH. They do have some nice oils and a whole lot of them. That's what makes me think they didn't pick up the other oils. They already have plenty. Its a shame that nobody is carrrying the TW oils as they were outstanding.
