Fragrance Oil Review Chart Link

I'm pretty sure that I requested that Natures Fragrance be added to the sheet several months ago?

 

[DeeAnna]

Yes, you did submit the info about this company to add to the Supplier list, as did Missunnerstood. This company is on the Supplier list now -- didn't you see it? When there are fragrance reviews, I'll create a fragrance sheet for them too. I haven't been creating blank placeholder sheets for companies if there's no data to add.

Where is the supplier list. I looked under forums, but didn't see anything that said supplier. It is the vendor forum?

@ShirleyHailstock -- It's not in the forums at all. The supplier list we're talking about is contained in the SMF Fragrance Oil Review -- this FO Review is what this thread is all about. Go to https://tinyurl.com/y8yqhtlt Look for the tab at the bottom of this Google Sheet that says Suppliers. Click on it.

I do love this fragrance review spreadsheet. I need to be better about adding my input because I sure do appreciate the input of others. I like to buy my fragrances in larger bottles but sometimes...without testing that is a mistake.

 

[DeeAnna]

I need to get the Review updated by moving new reviews into the appropriate sheets. You can see the new reviews that have been submitted but not moved to their final spots -- they're on a sheet at the very end of the Review.

 

[Vicki C]

I love this spreadsheet! Reviewers are so creative and descriptive. I agree that Google sheets is not intuitive. I have some reviews to add, too. Someone in another thread mentioned reviewing EOs - a whole different ball game I realize. I have read through this thread but probably missed it - has that been considered? Forgive me if it has been asked / answered.

 

[DeeAnna]

As far as I'm aware, no one has asked to add EOs to the Review.

I think there's a lot more mystery about FOs -- each supplier can have their own proprietary blend. Nag champa from one source isn't necessarily the same as Nag from another.

In contrast, I'd say there's more similarity from supplier to supplier with the EOs they sell. Lavender EO from one reputable supplier is probably going to behave similarly to lavender from another reputable supplier. I'd expect thyme EO from one supplier to accelerate just like thyme from another. There's also the EO Calc -- Find Free Essential Oil Blends - Modern Soapmaking -- that seems to be popular and perhaps fills a bit of the niche that the Review does for FOs.

Not to say EOs couldn't be added to the Review. Just that I haven't perceived people having a strong desire for that.

Thank you- yes agree EOs are less mysterious. Still I find differences between different suppliers - recently bought Himalayan cedar that just didn’t smell the same (or as good) as what I had bought from another company. Even peppermints differ from one supplier to another, I think. Also, I always wonder about the disparities in pricing, why some suppliers seem to have a great deal on one EO but everything else they carry are more expensive than other sites. I think I envision a master spreadsheet with prices, suppliers, shipping costs, notes on the supplier etc. I’ve tried to do this for myself but I quickly get bogged down. Retirement project!

Seeking new admin/owner for the Review

I have been the owner/moderator/admin of the Review for about 3 1/2 years. It's time for someone else to take on this responsibility and breathe fresh life into this project. As the owner, you would be responsible for managing and maintaining the integrity, accuracy, and usefulness of the Review. If you are interested, please contact DeeAnna in a private message.

Job requirements:

You must be an active SMF member in good standing; maintain a mature, helpful reputation on SMF; and provide ongoing, useful contributions to SMF discussions.

At a minimum, you must be competent with Google Sheets, including the ability to add, delete, and move worksheets, sort data on a worksheet, create filters, use cell formatting, etc. Many of the skills used with Microsoft Excel and similar spreadsheets also apply to Google Sheets, so if you're a skilled Excel user, you will be able to easily transfer your skills to Google Sheets.

An improvement you might want to consider is to move the Review data to a platform that functions something like Google Sheets, but is easier for people to use and more mobile friendly.

Hello @parciparlahome and welcome to SMF. Just a note about responding to other's posts... it is good to check the date of the post, and whether the person is still active on SMF (you can usually see their last active date by hovering over their name). In your case, that post was from 2015, and the person has not been on the site for over a year. So, she is not likely to see your response.

Regarding essential oils being body safe: only some of them are. Some of them are not skin-safe at all, while others are only safe in small amounts. It is always best to check the safe usage rates on EOCalc.com, or for less common oils, in the Tisserand book, "Essential Oil Safety."

When you get a chance, please introduce yourself to us in the Introduction thread. We love to welcome newcomers!

@DeeAnna, is it safe to guess no one took over the SMF Fragrance Oil Review admin job? Looks like the Add/Update links have been deleted!

I regret I cannot answer that question, @LisaBoBisa. Contact Angie for more information.
