Ok, so I needed more oils today, base and FO's...and I've always bought from WSP in the past. (Though I knew I wouldn't buy my fo's from there since they are sold by volume - not interested in getting into that.) Anyways, long story short, I priced just my base oils between WSP and Camden, and Camden came out better! Even though their shipping has always seemed a little high to me, it came out better this time. I used to pay around $21 with shipping included for 76 coconut at WSP, and it's gone up to $25...I like shopping there, but of course I have to go where I can save a few bucks. :( Anyways, so since I was already ordering base oils, I ordered 3 FO's from CG...coconut, pineapple sorbet, and OMH - has anyone used these?? I hope they will not disappoint, but I guess we will see. Anyways, just wanted to post this...CG might be a better bet for more people with WSP's recent price raise, especially for people like me who order for hobby only. Ha...sorry this is so long!
 
Forgot to mention too that almost all the CG FO's I looked at, including the ones I purchased, were phlalate free! Just in case some people like that. :lol:
 
Just soaped CG's coconut but too soon to tell. I find that coconut FOs tend to morph and/or fade before they settle down. I have yet to find a truly good one. CG's almond is pretty good. I've only tried a few of their FOs.
 
I've never used their coconut; it seems like keeping the scent of that is pretty difficult, regardless of whose FO you buy. I did soap their OMH once. It was fine to soap, turned brown as expected and I think it smelled about what people would expect. I soaped at 1 ounce ppo and it seemed pretty strong- if I were to soap it again, I would use less. I found out that I don't particularly care for that scent from anyone, although it's clearly a well-loved fragrance overall.
