All Fragrance Oils are packaged by weight - not volume.  Some bottles may appear "fuller" than another one because each oil weighs differently.  We test in-house and utilize several other people and customers for testing purposes.  Every oil is tested prior to being added to the Scent List.  We test only in JUST SCENT waxes and no longer test in any other wax.  We do not test in gel and do not offer gel results.

It is very hard for us to give reviews of our oils; we all have discriminative tastes and all form different opinions.  We all have a different sense of smell.  The same fragrance can smell different to ten different people.  Some people go strictly by an “out of bottle” smell test; we do not suggest this as oils will smell completely different in wax or your desired application.   We suggest that you try a sample.  We still try to give three free one ounce samples with every order you place when you order a minimum of one pound of fragrance oils.  We also offer sample packs at a very reasonable price.  Give us a call if you have any questions!  Ultimately we are challenged on our opinion so we feel it is best for you to come to your own conclusion by doing your own testing.  All fragrance oils have their own distinctive characteristics.  Some require much less, some require more.  We have scents that work well using as little as 6% per pound and others that might require 8-9% per pound.  Once again, your nose will determine how much you will want to use.  We recommend that you test first.  Start with the amount of scent you would normally useand adjust as you test.  At that point, you will know if you need to add more or less fragrance oil.

We try very hard to offer a variety of different types of oils; we are always looking for unique and complex fragrance oils.  Please do not judge them just by smell out of the bottle.  Some oils might be a bit light in wax but are fabulous in bath and body products.  Some oils are just not designed to be a huge “in your face” scent.  It doesn't mean it is not a good oil; it is just designed to be a lighter scent.  To get the full affect of the fragrance oil, you really need to test it in your wax or your bath and body products and not just by "out of bottle".   

Fragrance oils are derived from natural, raw materials.  Because of the materials being used, oils may vary in color and even in smell from “batch to batch”.  Our oils are manufactured upon demand and it is likely that the exact same raw materials used prior are no longer available.

Make sure you are using the right sized wick.  Some scents require a larger or smaller wick.  Only testing will determine which one you will need.  How your candle is wicked will have a direct result in how well and how much of a scent throw you will get.  You may have a fabulous scent, but if your candle is not properly wicked, you will not get a good scent throw.
