Scent Memory Vs. 1617 Vs. Makesy

[Saponificarian]

Hello all,

I just received a few fragrance oils from 1617 and I love them! I believe they are comparable to Makesy! They are complex with that touch of perfume quality which is what I want in fragrances now.

This question is for you soapers/chandlers that have used Scent Memory FOs, is it any similar to Makesy or 1617?

Thanks lots!

I got some samples from Scent Memory so I am able to answer this question now. For me, here is how I rank these FO suppliers.

1. Makesy - WoodenWick - The best! Quality is top notch with the perfume quality I have been looking for, with huge variety.

2. 1617 - She is definitely giving Makesy a run for their money! I loved the 5 FOs I got, which rarely happens. Quality is on par with Makesy with not as much variety.

3. Scent Memory- Definitely good quality FOs but for me, I will put this supplier a step above suppliers like Flaming candle and Candle Science but below Brambleberry and WSP.

Personal opinion here based on using these FOs in liquid soap and wax melts.

Come on over to FOs Scent Memory Fragrance. Great FOs await there too!

I disagree. I have purchased from all of those sites and will not buy from anyone but scent memory.

I find the quality at scent memory above the fray

Are any of these in canada? And I’m looking for an amazing coconut fragrance oil scent. I recently bought one from Island Escape but it smells more like pineapple and so I haven’t used it yet.

Unfortunately, no.

Too bad! The prices from states with shipping are crazy

In the reverse too. I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to get from Canadian stores. The shipping is deadly.

Why oh why! I just want to make stuff…it makes me happy

Next time I go back, I'll likely stop at one of the stores in Calgary and grab some things for the trip home. It costs too much to have it shipped. Thing is, it's been three years. I don't see me getting back any time soon.

I don’t suppose family could package stuff up and send it for you?

My sister would but, and this is weird, it costs more for her to send it than it does a business. We've done it before with presents for my nephews. I finally gave up with that and just send money if I have it. Oh that reminds me, she was going to send me a little decoration she made for my Christmas tree. Have to remind her. Hate to think how much it will cost though. It's the same with traveling across the border, add crossing the border, and suddenly the price of the plane ticket jumps by $300. If I were to land in Great Falls, it's actually MUCH cheaper for my family to come get me and drive back across the border than it is to cross the Alberta border and land in Calgary.
