Escential (aust) new FO's

[Lynnz]

Well these fragrances are proving beautiful to soap with again set trace back some not as much as the coconut cream...............this is an amazing fragracne once it hits the soap..........Everyone was around the pot tring to describe the scent as I did not tell them what it was and both my Son and Hubby said Malt biscuits with Cream and I tend to agree.....Yummo Kudos to Max he has bought some winners in. Mmmm I can smell the honey...............Girls your got to try this one..........My first impression was that I wasn't keen..........I have now changed my mind!!!!!
If you's want a sample slice let me know and in a few weeks I will happily post some out.

Lyn ... malt biscuits with cream ... that smell sounds divine!

Honey Vanilla from Escentials ... will add that to my ever growing list. Have only bought EO's from them, so keen to put in an order for some FO's ... but like Natty ... I have FO's I've never used ... oh I love being naughty! LOL ... and to think I used to only use EO's ... silly me!

 

[nattynoo]

Awesome Lyn. I'm so glad you soaped the honey vanilla. I'm mostly interested to see if it discolours. The smell in the bottle is exactly what I want to replace my honey love dust. Honey but biscuty like you say. Not overly sweet though.
You made me laugh Lyn, when I go into my soaping room its starting to get a bit of a Lush smell going on in there. All the FO mixed together in the air is ammmmaaaazzziiinngggg. I'm hooked on FO now even though when I first started soaping I was EO all the way. Though I do still do a mix a EO & FO.

Their EO's. I have no trouble with them at all. I always buy the cheapest ones from each variety. They r the best EO prices I can find.

My big soaping day is Thursday. Not sure what I'll b soaping yet but Max's FO's will b in the mix.

3 cheers for Max!!

Soapy sample from Lyn, yes please, anyday!!

Natty did I email you in reply to your soap arriving? I am such a mush brain at the moment!!!!!! If not thanks so much and they do smell so close which is great for you :0)
Did you see all the new fragrances loaded :0) I have to order more cocoa butter so will have to add a couple to my order especially the Coconut and Mango Yummo :0)

 

[nattynoo]

You big tease lyn!! I have no internet atm due to moving so i cant really look due to being on the iphone. The telstra techinician is here as i type this. Hopefully tomorrow.
Glad u got the soap. I thought they smelt very similair too. Let me know how u like my soap. Thats my newsest recipe ive been using. Was dissapointed to put your soap in the shower as it was alot nicer than mine. Your experience shows in your soap quality. Its smoother, creamier and leaves a nice silken after feel to it. i'll get there.... One day. My soap is in no way bad, alot of people quiet like it but its just not as good as yours. That honey soap is one of my most popular ones. Sorry it wasnt quiet a large bar.
I hate typing on the phone... Lol Hope my post isnt all over the shot.

 

[Lynnz]

All the best with the move I am refusing to move for at least 5yrs and two years into my dig the heels down so doing well LOL. Natty I thought your soap had a beautiful feel to it and very velvety like, infact I went back to your label to see what butters you had in it and found none and think you have an awesome recipe there :0) great lather to. I spent about three years getting that particular recipe and now use it for 98% of my soaps.
Oh Max has a banana oil in which I thought would be a great one for the kids, might have to try it as I am sure my two would get a kick out of banana smelling soap and it dosen't discolour!!!!!!............Later

 

[nattynoo]

I'M BAAAACK!!
Yay for mobile internet. It'll do for a bit.

Thanx for the comment on the soap Lyn. I'm probably being too hard on myself. I think there is a BIG difference between gel & no gel. The no gel definitely feels creamier, alot creamier. I just can't do no gel to save my life. I think its my fridge TBH. We need a new one and it just doesn't hold its cold very good. Like you say though it took u 3yrs to perfect your recipe. I'll get there.
Might have to try Max's banana FO. I use the banana from ACS & it smells devine, soaps really well, holds fragrance great, but it discoloured ALOT.... & I mean alot. Unless its the fresh banana I put into it but surely not that much. It goes 'the' darkest brown colour.

 

[Relle]

Nat, I used a banana FO from NCS and don't think that one discoloured, a bit hard to tell as I made my own Monkey Farts one up with banana,coconut and strawberry with some oxides,so that might be worth a try.

 

[nattynoo]

What a great idea to custom blend your monkey farts Relle. I've got some monkey farts curing ATM. Can't wait to try it. Its a great smell for summer.

 

[Lynnz]

Mmmm I just soaped Rose Petals and it is beautilicious!!!!!! This is only the second Rose oil where I have felt confident about doing more than one colour...............soaped rt and full water and it worked a charm two colour blob it in the mold and a coathanger swirl all in good time :0) smells great.............Not cloying like I find some Rose fragrances to be.
Have frangapani here to soap next and oob it smells fantastic cannot wait to soap it mmmmmmmm big thumbs up for these two.
Relle also soaped the Frangapani from NCS and it is nice easy to work with and three weeks into cure and holding really well at 5%.

 

[nattynoo]

Agreed Lyn, the rose petals is the best smelling rose I've put my nose in for awhile. Might even soap that myself today.

Now I soaped the blueberry (escentials) a few days ago & it moved FAST.....& I mean fast!! I almost didn't get a chance to get it into the mould. So be warned with that one. (I did have a high palm content in it). Smells great though. I quiet liked it.

Also custom blended a monkeyfarts (thanx for the idea Relle, good one!!) I used the banana from escentials & no discolouration yet. Though it was blended it did have 50% of the banana in it.

Soaped Honey Vanilla today, great behaving FO. Smells .....oh my!! Love love this one. Thanx for getting me onto it Lyn.

Oh I love to entice others into this tangled web of addiction

:shock: :shock: please don't!! I need NO encouragement. I just placed another 2 orders today. One with escentials and one with ACS. Addiction at its best :shock: :shock:

 

[Dragonkaz]

You guys are making me so envious! I can't wait till I can afford to buy more FO's ... this thread is definitely sending me to escentials.

This thread is a great way to read about this company's FO's. Thanks to you both for using and reviewing them!

I've got to be good as know I'm going to have to fly back to NZ soon ... I will be good ... I will try to be good ... I will try ...

Hi

Just wondering where you purchase your FO in Australian & US

Thanks

 

[nattynoo]

Funny Kaz.

Dixi, I only buy FO from a couple of places. There's lots of choices though. I buy mainly from escentials of noosavilla and I buy from Australian candle supplies. There is a handful I get from Bigtree supplies too but man are they expensive. Got suxed into Lush dupes and @$17 for 100mls....ouch is all I can say. What have u been using? Your mahogany FO for the last swap was lovely.

 

[dixilee]

ive got some from big tree but so expensive and bramble berry

looking for some new suppliers now thou

 

[Lynnz]

I just soaped the regular frangapani from NCS and it is soooooo nice.........like 23.00 for 500mls works well in my books, that was after trying the Laespa pink frangapani that was like 52.00for 500mls and the regular one is sooooo much better :0). Max has good prices on his new oils and to date they are proving very sucessful. Oh and must also say that the frangapani from Max's smells amazing I am hopefully on to that one soon just busy getting regular stock up at the moment and filling a few small wholesale accounts
Oh Dragon my heart goes out to you I know how hard it is to restrain oneself.................I am sooooooo itching to get another order into Oregon Trail and I also want to order an amazing oilf from MMS so best get off the puter fill orders and make some dollars to buy more oils LOL Hubby keeps telling me to stop buying so many samples and I have told him to mind it as that is the MOST fun thing to do LOL. I have a very scary amount to get through but hey I am going to have lots of limited editions up on bigcartel soon LOL

 

[Lynnz]

Dixi I wnat to say thanks for sending such a beautiful oil our way Iam now stocking it..........................so good I have sent samples out with candle orders and gained new soapy clients!!!!!!
