Best Online Sites to Purchase FO's?

17 years ago

Hi, I'm wondering what sites are the best for purchasing fragrance oils that are true to scent? I've had one or two bad experiences of purchasing fragrance oils that smelled terrible or just too cloying.

I've had good success with From Nature with Love, but was wondering if there are any other sites to recommend?

Thanks everyone!

Oops, forgot to clarify. This would be for soaps and bath and body products, not candles. Don't know if that makes any difference, but just thought I'd say.

Okay, in a round about way, I found your blog, and then your "location". LOL
So I can give you some places to look near you and far from you..

Two of my favorite West Coast Suppliers (far) LOL
Brambleberry~WA and OregonTrailsoaps~OR

Candle Cocoon (her regular line) has alot of great multi purpose scents. (meaning B&B and soap and candles) Fabulous oils they are a bit pricey, but you don't need nearly as much as other companies (mid way~she's in WI)
Nature's Garden ~Ohio
Southern Scentsations~MI

East Coast side...hmmmm
Fragrance Oil Heaven~NY
Candlewic~PA

All the ones I've listed in the body of this thread, I've either done business with, or know friends who use them as well.
Good companies for sure.
But the link below gives you even more choices.

Here is a link that might be useful: A little resource you might like. :o)

Neal Buss on ebay, and he is the only one on ebay that I would buy from. He has plants from $5.00 up. He advertises double fans, you usually get at least 4. I bought 2 double fans of MAPLE HUES, and got 9 fans, sometimes you only get 3. They send extra fans but no Bonus, which at this point is better. Here is the link, I will share it now since I am finished shopping. Oh they are all BUY-IT-NOW listings, so there is no bidding, just buying. He also sells the good metal markers, and will custom make labels for them, you just make the purchase and suply the list. Nice people, and Excellent service and plants. Here is a link that might be useful: White Top Daylily Farm

I just received my first order from Hallstons yesterday. Chris was so great on the phone. I really wanted Spring Fling, but he said they were gone and the ones he had were too little. My box arrived promptly (from one side of the country to the other) and it was literally the hotest day of the year, 95 degrees. I wasn't even home to get the babies out of the box until evening. When I opened the box, I found absolutely beautiful hostas including a freebie, the Spring Fling I wanted!!! It wasn't a little one either compared to what I have received from other mail order places. So thanks to Chris at Hallstons for being so sweet!! I will be back ;-) The other goodies I ordered were Jade Cascade, Fire Island and Sea Fire. Needed more good yellows. Jade Cascade's roots must have been growing to China. Nice huge plant standing straight up and tall tonight in it's new home.

Anyone who registers on the same day they post endorsing a particular site or product is always suspect. If it smells like spam, it probably is.

LightingUniverse.com and BuildersDepot.com have been a complete nightmare for me! I ordered lighting from lighting universe and it arrived with parts missing - it obviously was a return as I actually found the nasty note the lady who recieved it before enclosed when she sent it back. I called customer service and they were very nice and said they would send the missing parts. A month and several phone and emails later and I still do not have the parts. I am now in contact with American Express (card I used to purchase with) and they are disputing the charge and getting my money refunded. I also ordered a light from Builders Depot - it was packaged VERY poorly and arrived damaged but my husband fixed it because it was not worth the hassle and expense to ship it back. I did get some beautiful lighting from Pottery Barn and it arrived perfectly and their customer service is top notch - but you will not get any bargains here. I ended up going to my local lighting store and ordering Golden Lighting - I mentioned the prices on the internet and they beat them all and threw in free light bulbs! I couldn't be more pleased. Might as well start at your local lighting store and give them a chance to match or beat prices - it can't hurt to ask! Your local stores are hurting right now and making some fantastic deals - not to mention not having to worry about returning stuff you bought online.

It depends on where you live in north america and what scents you are after.
Brambleberry (Washington), Oregon Trails Oregon, who would have thought!), FPI (Vancouver Canada) have been some of the consistently good ones I have used in the past.

My browser is playing tricks on me today. First there weren't any responses, then there were more. Hmmmmm.

FPI sells scent (the smallest amount is 1 pound) the last time I checked. When putting in orders to some companies who carry or make their own scent, get samples to give you a better idea of what to expect if you were to order more and soap with it.

Hello,
Newbie here.
I use http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/ for all of my FO's
They have many scents and are reasonable.

I buy all the majority of my fragrance oils from:
Let It Shine in Seattle and FlickersFragrances in Indiana.

Both of these places have the best fragrance oils that I have used. I make bath products and candles. Most of them are for both body and wax.

I will disagree with Let it Shine..I was unimpressed with the 3 or 4 oils I've tried from them. There wasn't one in the bunch I recall, thinking.."ooh this is the scent I'm going to use."
