Im so glad you found these fragrances. I use them and i live very close to where 16/17 was. Im glad you found the price to be cheaper as well. Nice to hear. Thanks Bre!

[@MisterWhatWhat]

HUGE Hive & Honey buyer. I used a ton of 16/17 FOs in my line & was so happy that H&H began selling them. When I compare them to the actual oils I still have from 16/17 I can say the scent is spot on! There are a few, for example Persephone, that is maybe 1.5% weaker than the Persephone I have from 16/17 during the blind testing I did with myself & 2 other people. Still excellent nonetheless. I also use exclusively No 7 soy & No. 9 coconut waxes & they perform exactly the same now that H&H sells them.

[@calafiacandleco]

That's great to know! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@Omayra2212]

Thank you for reviewing these FO's. Definitely looking forward to trying them.

[@joyride924]

I love FO reviews, thank you for your work.

[@georgina1921]

Thanks, Bree! I love seeing these reviews. You do such a wonderful job at describing them. While each of us is so different in what scents we find beautiful, it also helps to step outside of our box and maybe try something we normally wouldn’t have to offer our customers. I tried some masculine and floral scents that I normally wouldn’t be drawn to, and OMG… I fell in love with a few of them and I’m so happy that I did. Thanks again for sharing this review with us. I can’t wait to see part 2.

[@calafiacandleco]

So true! Thank you for watching! :)

[@couturehomeandbody]

I really like this format, Bree! I have not tried 16/17 oils so this video was a perfect introduction. Can’t wait for Part 2!

[@calafiacandleco]

Thanks Kerry! 😘

[@thespabarn]

Maple street candle is also carrying 16/17 fragrances

[@bonniewhillock3536]

I’ve been playing with the samplers as well and fell in LOVE with You Wish! Of all my over 100 oils this has got to be my all time favorite though expensive. I bought the 16 oz bottle and will have to hoard it. I really like the a lot of these from 16/17..high end fragrances. Mayfield is a lovely lavender scent blend. I enjoyed your take on these!

[@calafiacandleco]

Thank you for watching!

[@anchorlakemeltingco]

Some of these sound soooooo good! I never would of tried them either from 16/17 at the cost they were! I'm excited to get to try now! ❤ awesome review!

[@calafiacandleco]

Thanks Karissa!! ❤

[@lisathompson7966]

Thank you for this, so helpful.

[@calafiacandleco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tradergirl7067]

wow I didn't know they closed. I attempted to buy items from them in the past but the cost had me shaking my head nooo... I am offering 35 scents now from various companies and they all claim they are the best sellers.. Maybe they are.. but I seem to only sell 4-6 scents on a regular basis and the rest just sit there getting man handled by shoppers.. 😂. But it seems silly to only offer a few scents.. im really interested in trying some of these out. thanks for such a great review.

[@calafiacandleco]

Wow, that sure is a lot of scents! I personally like to offer 5 or 6 scents year-round, and then I'll usually do 2 or 3 seasonal scents. Definitely recommend checking them out! Thanks for watching. :)
