I am ordering some FO's from Daystar, The scent works and WSP and I am having a huge decision making phobia.

I would be so grateful you could tell me which of these you have liked or disliked and if there are any I have not listed that are worth trying.

The scent works
Instant karma
Satsuma guava
Pink sugar
Green irish tweed
Vaniglia de madagascar
Dragons blood
Bay rum
Sultry amber
Vetyver full moon
provence
Be delicious
London lemon curd
White peach

Daystar
Salty sailor
Musk
Madagaskar vanill
Amber og lavender
Black vetiver cafe
Paradis
Liquid crack
Goldie locks
Kazi kazi

Wsp
Omh
Bay rum
Angel type
Beneath the stars
Stormy nights

I am also interested in what FO supplier you have liked the best

omh, wsp very almond smelling, not like oatmeal at all.
I mostly use peakcandles.com & naturesgarden.
 
From The Scent Works I love the White Peach and would recommend Hypnotic Poison and Lovely...........two of my very favourites :0) I have more samples from them to try and will let you know what else I am liking'

Daystar...........The Kazi Kazi soaps well and it is nice but I am now loving the Oregan trail verson of this one. Will be interested to see what you think of the Scent Works version of that one
The ohters I haven't tried but on my permanent list from them is Blue Kisses, Pink Magnolia (for candles) and the Armiage is really nice in soap.....it accelerates for me but is manageable :0)

I have not ordered from WSP as I thought they did not post outside of the USA? Will be interested to know if you can order as I would love to try some of their oils!!!!

What FO's would you reccomend from those suppliers?
I know every nose is different but I am just totally clueless and indecisive.

Thank you for your input,, I have soaped Instant karma and it is wonderful and very similar to Lush karma..
Is the Kazi kazi similar to the original from lush or?
The WSP doesn't ship outside the US,, I am having a friend forwarding them to me.

I was going to say the same thing as honor435 - the only one of those scents I've tried is OMH from WSP and it's definitely just an almond smell (kind of annoying if you don't like almonds!).
 
Nature's Garden - most things I buy from there turn out to be great. If you do some browsing and read the reviews you will find some really good stuff. I bought the cotton candy and kumquat fo's after trying someone else's soap from a swap (Nancy!), and cotton candy is definitely one of my favorite fo's now.
 
WSP - Bay Rum - Is very, very nice oob. I haven't soaped with it yet, but it's super nice compared to some other versions that I have. It's one of my favorite Bay Rums.

WSP - Angel - I really like it. I wear the real thing so I know the fragrance very well. It's not as deep and complex as the actual perfume, but it's a pretty good dupe. I know quite a few other suppliers carry Angel, but WSP is the only one I've smelled. I haven't soaped with it yet, but did make a very nice lotion.

I have a ton of others from WSP. I do like just about everything that I've ordered from them. Make sure you read the reviews.

I like Nature's Garden for fragrances as well. Again, make sure you read the reviews.

I haven't gotten around to ordering from Scent Works or Daystar yet, but I hear good things about them. Maybe someone else can chime in.
 
The scent works
Instant karma - LOVE
Satsuma guava - AMAZING
London lemon curd YUM, but discolors!
White peach - FABULOUS, no discoloration
 
WSP- Beneath the Stars - YUMMY
WSP- OMH - Nothing special, wouldn't recommend
DayStar- Black Vetyver Cafe, just soaped it, it's ok. I like the woods and coffee from daystar better and it's a similar scent.

The OMH from Elements is the best and I was impressed by most of the FOs I ordered there.
 
I love angel from WSP.

If you want a fabulous pink sugar I would go with daystar.
 
I sampled black vet coffee as well as bitter wood and coffee, both from daystar. They were similar but I prefered the bitter wood and coffee & it's my top seller.
 
Lyn , I emailed WSP and its a no go for any orders. Can't understand why a lot of companies in US don't send to us here, they are losing a lot of money.

That's too bad. You're right. They are loosing money. I wonder why they don't?

Rellei I was so disappointed as they have some fantastic sample sized logs on special that I would love to get my hands on.
One thought I did have is to use a company that posts on to other countries............got to do a bit of paperwork for this but might be well worth it

Which mold are you wanting? The guest size red one? I'm thinking about getting some of those. Not sure, though.
 
I saw all the comments from people in Australia wondering why these companies won't ship overseas so I looked at the post office site here and it's ridiculously expensive! I suppose the companies have found people aren't willing to pay $50 in postage for their orders (or more) as it would make the price for heavy substances like the FO's very very expensive per ounce for you.

I saw a flat rate box 12 inches X 12 inches x 5 1/2 inches and max 20 pounds is $58, and the smaller 14 inches x 12 inches x 3.5 inches (approx) and max 20 pounds is $45. I supposed you could fit a fair amount in there but still...

If it were worth it to you, I'm sure you could coordinate an order with someone- order together to their US address and then pay to have them forward your portion on to you. I would be willing to do something like that, but I don't have any orders planned for the near future. If it seems like it would be worth it, you should post it! or you could PM me and say where you're interested in ordering and I'd see if there is something I'd like to get from there, too (as if there wouldn't be!)
 
i order a lot of eo's and fo's from camden grey, and nature's garden. wish i could find everything i want from one supplier, but it's fun to see what everyone has :) my favorite of the moment is NG's absinthe. positively intoxicating!
