Enablers !

Enablers !
I just spent another $113 on FO's.
WHY ? because I don't have them and I am a FO HO !



coulnd't help it, all the talk about what Xmas FO..... 3 out of the 6 are Winter scents

I ordered from Bitter Creek. They have a new Birch Bark and Hemlock Forest and I wonder if either is like the Cracklin Birch.

I won't show you my collection of EOs and FOs. Just want to suggest that you order exotic or unusual FOs in smaller bottles so that you won't be left with a lot of FOs that go unused.

 

[Lin19687]

I am trying not to get too exotic but I do love the Musk ones. I held off this time on an Amber Musk, till I can get a sniffle of it first.
Funny the one that doesn't sell for me at all is Lick me all over. And it was Highly suggested on here and else where. Wonder if I got a bad bottle. Most others I can blend just need to take the time to do mixing.
I have just under 100 scents right now. Some are older ones and about 20 are candle ones (some can soap, some not).
I just didn't have too many Winter scents... so i guess I just HAD to have them lol

Bahahaha! I just replied to your PM about my NG wishlist problem. Which 6 did you get from BCN? I'm a curious cat. I have a wishlist with them, plus a bunch of samplers I need to try yet. (Gah, I keep forgetting to update the Fragrance review database too for the ones I have tried.)

Lin I couldn't sell Lick Me All Over either. I finally sold them in my misfit bin. I'm on a sabbatical from purchasing FO's. I'm well over 250 and need to rope it in. I actually gave 5 boxes away to a young girl who was starting to make candles and still have over 250.... I'm out of space and I need to just stick to what sells with a few (or handful) of new ones to try.

Is Amber Musk an Amber Romance Victoria Secret dupe? I made 18 bars in January and I still have 14 left. I like it, but no one else seems to. Heck, I'll send you mine if you want to see how they'll sell.

I have just under 100 scents right now.

You're so cute with your 100 scents. haha I wish that's all I had. Then when you add my mixtures on top of the fo's I do have, well, as I said, 100 is a cute number.

As for Lick Me All Over - mix it with something and rename it.
I'd have to look at my notes to see what I actually mixed it with, and renamed it, but remember it did sell after I did that.

 

[Lin19687]

@jcandleattic That just made me bust out laughing... I had dry Lucky Charms in my mouth .... Did you know that the WET 'Mellos in that stick to the Puter Screen ????!!!

Those are all the 16oz ones, I do have about 20 smaller bottles but yeah, compared to you I am sure that is a mouse snack

@shunt2011 nice to know it didn't sell for others. I really thought I got a bad batch.

I too am trying to even lower the amount I have to the ones that sell the best. But, well you know...

BCN has some Bubbles N' Lights scents that I Love, which is why I was on there. I was just suppose to Save them to my wishlist but again .....

I got Birch Bark, Hemlock Forest, NorthWoods xams, Oakmoss (because NG doesn't have it), Candy Cane and Winter Shadows.

 

[Lin19687]

I want to update this.....
NorthWoods xams & Candy Cane suck. The CC is just a bad scent, strong on the spear/peppermint and not enough candy. I mixed the 2 and still not happy at all with them. Now I have to think of a name. They also didn't behave well at all so the red on the top looks like a blop dripping down

Birch Bark, Hemlock Forest AWESOME ! and Behave !!!

Winter Shadows is very faint but ok.

BTW, BCN has gotten Much better with emailing

well I have way less than 100 I think--don't wanna do a count but I order smaller bottles until I decide if I like it or not. am waiting for some to come on Tuesday and then I am done for awhile...….I have fall and xmas scents to work on now

 

[Mobjack Bay]

With my recent orders I will be getting close to 50 scents, but they are mostly samples, 1 or 2 oz sizes. So now I feel better cause I don’t think I can qualify as a FOHO.

 

[Lin19687]

You just wait you 2..... Muhahahahaha

And what does FOHO stand for? Fragrance Oil + ???

its a term in the US--shortened from Whore

You just wait you 2..... Muhahahahaha

i can see it happening every time I hear of new FOs--i should go count what i have, does that count as doing some thing soapy??

yes

LOL you guys all make me laugh!! Heretofore, I have been limited by only buying from one Canadian supplier (NDA). Since we do visit my MIL in Chicago on occasion, I have ordered some supplies to her. She brought my me TKB order last month because it was light (micas and a few powders) but then someone on this board told me about the WSP FO sale and I ordered $100 from them, too. I don't actually remember what I got and I think I'll wait and have it be a surprise. MIL's coming to visit in a few weeks, but I think FO bottles are too heavy for her suitcase; I'll have to wait until we go down there (in the car) for American Thanksgiving.
Anyway, point is, I second the ENABLERS title, but I also thank my lucky stars that I don't have as much choice as y'all do. The only thing slowing me down is the expense and inconvenience, but if I lived stateside, I bet I'd go crazy!

 

[Marilyn Norgart]

I counted--thankfully I am a ways from being a FOHO--I only have 76

Actually FOHO is short for Fragrance Oil Hoarder. NOT Whore.

This is good to know. I guess I'd rather be a fragrance hoarder...I don't even know how many bottles I have, but probably close to 200.
I have a problem. Need a FOHO's anonymous group...

haha ok. I actually google FOHO and that is even worse haha
