Hey guys, I am planning to open my own occult apothecary, and I am having some trouble finding resources for bulk amounts of the Fragrance Oils that I am used to purchasing from other occult businesses. I would prefer resources from the United States, since shiping's a bitch! Ideally I am searching for a shop that specializes in synthetic fragrance oils, rather than perfumery-supplies. Many of the famous occult shops in the NYC area used to buy their fragrance oils from , but they now only sell their oils in 25 lb. increments! They also needn't be "high end" fragrance oils, but they should have a strong aroma and smell like what they are named after:
* Amber Oil: This has a smooth and sweet odor, and my forme resouce's "amber oil" had a honey or cognac color.
* Ambergris Oil: It has become almost impossible to obtain this synthetic fragrance oil in occult stores here in the U.S. for some reason. When asked they tell me that their resources have stopped carrying it, even though it's a synthetic. Unless some occult shops are mislabeling their ambergris and civel fragrance oils, but what I thought was "civet oil"--according to the fragrance--smelled exactly like what another shop was selling as "ambergris oil". In fact, both these oils, sold from different shops in different states, were the same color--sort of a pale golden color.
* Civet Oil: Considering what I have used from one resource, which was rather expensive ($15/ dram!), I am unsure if it was REALLY "civet oil". It smells like a VERY sexy unisex cologne base with notes of lily. But, what another store sold as "civet oil" didn't have much of a scent and resembled a whitish/ frosted/ foggy looking oil. I'm not sure which is which, now!
* Apple Blossom Oil: I would love to find a synthetic fragrance oil that smells like REAL apple blossoms! Whenever I find one for sale it smells either like green apples, or a red fresh apple base note with a middle/ top note of a generic blossom aroma. In High School I used to walk under an apple tree every spring and the blossoms smeled almost sickeningly sweet--and I loved it!
* Peach Blossom Oil: The only resource that I have sen carry this unusually scented oil sells one that's sort of a deep reddish color.
* White Musk and Dark Musk!
* Wisteria Oil: An "old-fashioned" floral aroma that makes me very wistful and nostalgic.
* Honeysuckle Oil: Yields a sickeningly sweet floral aroma!
* Carnation Oil: My usual supplier who sells "carnation oil", but I would prefer something that smells clove-like as pinks do.
* Lilac Oil: Does anyone know a source of lilac fragrance oil that actually smells like heady lilac blossoms? So frequently lilac candles seem to smell...."off". Lilac is my FAVORITE flower. Actually, I was surprised to find that lilacs are many men's favorite flowers.
* Lily of the Valley Oil: So often every lily of the valley oil smells so underwhelming considering how heady and in-your-face the fragrance of the actual blossoms are.
* Magnolia FO
* Gardenia FO
* Strawberry FO: Every resource of strawberry oil that I have found seems to sell a very week strawberry FO, but I am looking for something very strong and sweet!
* Heliotrope FO: Another surprisingly tough FO to find, for some reason. :P
* Bayberry FO: Spicy and delicious!
* Tonka FO
* Amber Oil: This has a smooth and sweet odor, and my forme resouce's "amber oil" had a honey or cognac color.
