My Top Companies For Buying Fragrance Oils And Must-have Scents In My Collection!

[@essentialsnorthwestllc878]

This was great! Thank you. Took lots of notes (while at the same time mildly cursing to myself that I do NOT need any more FO's also while starring the ones I'll be buying to try. )😊😅

[@TessieDobey]

I purchase many fragrance oils from BeScented. Great prices, great scents and excellent customer service.

[@Blackberryhillsoap]

I love the Southern Gentleman, Blackberry & Magnolia, Black Raspberry & Vanilla and Tobacco Flower from Micas & More.

I don't make soap, only candles. I have a coconut candle line and I use the more complex scents from scent memory, makesy and former 1617. Soy candle line is all from candle science clean scents. The clean label really does it for me plus they are super popular. I like realistic smelling scents midwest honey spiced is too artificial for me. But i like there iced vanilla, palo santo, fruit loops. Their fruit loop is my highest selling.

I learned my lesson on this subject. Resellers of fragrances close their business down and then makers are scrambling to find another reseller. A couple of years ago, the owner of a fragrance company passed away. So heartbreaking for their family; I felt so bad for the wife who tried to get it back up and going. Unfortunately, the business closed for good. Many makers also loved another companies fragrances and that business closed down last year. Over the last 8 years, many companies have been bought out by a well known company mentioned on the comments. Some of the original fragrances are still available, but many are not.

In addition to the flaming candle, their Vanilla Bean Noel is my best seller! I also like Midwest Fragrance with their Pineapple Sage. Another best seller ❤

Very good citrus savage 😊😊😊

Oatmeal stout in my bubbly beer bar does very well. I get it from Brambleberry and it does very well. My best candle is a Christmas cookie blend I get from Natures Garden and Natures Handmade.

Can you tell I'm catching up on videos? Great video, and you are spot on buying from multiple companies. Although, I just did a video testing 25 of Black Tie Barn's (a favorite) scents in cold process (under my wrenandrita account). My new fave is Hive & Honey. Such a great company and great customer service as well. I went way overboard on fragrance oils last year so this upcoming year will be about using what I have!

[@shellygilman3764]

My all time most popular scent is Nurture Handmade, Peace and Love. Always my number one seller, I have been using it for at least 9 years or more.

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

Thanks so much for this! I've just been starting making my own bath/body products over the last year and I needed some better direction for fragrances.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I am so glad this was helpful! Thank you for watching!🤗 Good luck with your journey 😃

Thanks for this. I'm inspired. I don't make candles, only soap and lotion. Like you, I get fragrances from Candle Science and Bramble Berry. They both have such a variety that there is something for everyone. I think Candle Science has the most creative fragrance blends, but I'm always careful to read the notes because some of their scents are not suitable for soap. Bramble Berry's soaping notes are pretty good, with photos showing discoloration in real soaps. My favorite source for fragrances is Little Bee. I don't usually use florals, but their "You Belong Among the Wildflowers" is irresistible. I've had so many bad experiences with florals in soap that I save this one for lotion. It's my mother's favorite. Their "Cardamom" is the perfect cardamom scent. I'm obsessed. They have a number of well executed single-note fragrances that are perfect for custom blending. The best part is they have a PDF with comprehensive soap testing results for all their fragrances, so I can compare the performance notes for multiple fragrances all in one place without having to click around to different pages. Other fragrance companies pay attention! A spreadsheet is a tremendous service to customers; it makes the shopping experience so much more enjoyable. I also get a few favorites from Aztec. Their "Tobacco" is the best tobacco I've found so far. I love "Hillbilly Mistletoe." That sounds like a Christmas fragrance, but I like it year-round. It's green and fruity, not a traditional Christmas scent. I'm especially careful when I order from Aztec, though. They do sell some of my favorites, but I've also gotten some of my biggest misses from them. "Stone Shore (unexpectedly sweet)," "Duck Farts (Fruity Pebbles cereal and granny panties)," and "Oakmoss (baby powder)" have all been eeew fragrances for me. Unfortunately, I ordered big bottles of those based on descriptions and reviews. I think all of them are discontinued now. I'm also a fan of Workshop Heritage's "Tobacco and Oud." I think it's the perfect masculine fragrance. To me, it smells mysterious, if that makes sense. It's their only fragrance oil -- they call it their signature fragrance -- so I buy a lot of it when I go to buy something else from Workshop Heritage. It does discolor a little bit, but if I'm making a "manly" soap, it's okay with me that it's a little darker.

Loved this video!!! Thanks for all your favs! I really like Sunwashed from Candle Science

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

you are very welcome! I had Sunwashed from CS and I think I remember liking it pretty well. but I used it in a blend and now can't remember what it smells like LOL

[@juliebissat3036]

Thank you for sharing. Such a big help!!!!!!!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

You are very welcome! 🤗

[@SugarSmack216]

@@juliebissat3036 I agree! I’ve bought SO many fragrances that I didn’t end up liking, and there are so many options so this was a big help! I’ve never bought from Candle Science or Flaming Candle. Now I have some ideas of what to try next 😀

[@ramblinrosecottage5983]

I like Dragon's Blood (and so do my customers) from Midwest Fragrance Co. Cool Citrus Basil, Sandalwood & Patchouli, from WSP are top sellers for me and I recently had a customer request a custom soap using Frankencense and Myrrh (she wanted essential oils, so I priced those and they were outrageously expensive) so she settled on the Frankencense and Myrrh from WSP and WOW is it nice. Pricey, yes, but really nice scent. Brambleberry favorites are Lavender 40/42, Lilac, Oatmeal, Milk and Honey.

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

Thanks

[@SugarSmack216]

Yay! Coffee is in hand!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

YAY!!!!😍😃

[@mindlifeheart2906]

I said the same last year but I bought more due to awesome sales. 😄🙈

[@carischaoticcreations3925]

Great list. My go-to companies are Midwest. Loneatar and candle science.

[@happybrushchely7170]

Yall know me flaming candle is where most of mine come from. I do buy from others , the one company I am trying is viva. Will let you know what I think.

[@MsAubrey]

There’s quite a few FOs that Nature’s Garden that I love and sell well for me. Their notes are usually pretty accurate. I love a handful from Brambleberry. The citrus scents from Candle Science are fantastic. The best men’s cologne dupe FOs come from Bulk Apothecary though. Unfortunately, their shipping rates are insanely high. I’ve been getting quite a few FOs from Indigo Fragrance Company recently and I love their novelty FOs. They take suggestions too. I might have to check into Micas and More. I’ve gotten a few FOs from With Nature with Love. They are nice, but a bit pricey. They’re lighter fragrances. Good for hand soaps, deodorants, shampoo and conditioners. Could be good for room and linen spray. Not very many soap notes or reviews.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thanks for all of that Aubrey! I have not purchased from Indigo or Nature with Love. I have heard of them though. Have a happy new year!

[@MsAubrey]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique happy new year to you too!

[@relevant.c5411]

i was thinking about taking all my sample and smaller sized FO's and making a one off soap of them all just to use them and not throw them away. these are scents i dont really like and wont purchase again but i have SO MANY OF THOSE. i like on average 1 out of every 10 i buy. maybe 2 and if im lucky there will be 3. lol. WSSP is over priced and CS isnt so great. they had charged me $65 for a 1lb bad of btms50, when i brought it to their attention they said it wasnt an error. so i returned it and bought it much cheaper elsewhere. i recently chk'd their price and oh look, they corrected it and now its back to the correct and affordable price. bulk apothecary has good prices especially on castor oil. however their CS isnt too good either.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

yeah, WSP cust service wasn't great for the whole IFRA update a few years ago, but it was good for when I bought a lot of natural fragrance oils and the all reeked horribly - they did take them back and I was happy with that. I'm glad they let you return your btms! I don't often shop at bulk apothecary, maybe once every 2-3 years.

[@MsAubrey]

Hi Tammy! 😊

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

good morning Aubrey!!😃

[@kellykimball2099]

Wholesale Plus

[@Sandy-gj1wk]

Wholesale supplies plus very sexy for men is a great scent and sexy sandalwood love both of them

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I just looked - I don't think I am ready to pay over $50 per pound 😮 but I do see the reviews are good on them 🤔🤗

[@Sandy-gj1wk]

@ the price used to be good on both specially went on sale but since the big C word, they have gone crazy with their prices

[@carolynpalano9284]

I recently discovered Cierra candle Co. they have some great JO MALONE dupes for men's line. Prices and shipping are great. My new favorite scent at the moment though is Lavender Flowers from NATURES GARDEN ❤
