My main supplier is BB, but they don't carry a kudzu fragrance that I'm looking for. (I smelled this in a soap in a health food store recently and was captivated by the scent!). I've found a kudzu scent two other places, but have not ordered from either one of them.
One is The Scent Works, which I know soapbuddy has recommended in the past. The other is Nature's Garden, which I know nothing about. There is quite a price difference between the two places (first site is twice the price of the second) and I wondered if the price difference was reflective of the quality of the products offered. Any thoughts/experience to share?
P.S. I'm doing CP soap.

Price difference is not always indicative of quality. Nature's Garden started up as a candle supply company. From reading the reviews, some of their FO's accelerate, morph or fade, even though it's not listed on their web site. I believe Scent Works tests each and every fragrance they sell for soap. NG has reasonably priced samples, so I try it.

The Scent Review Board didn't have reviews of either of those FOs, so no help there.

However, if you go to the Kudzu FO page for Nature's Garden, and scroll all the way to the bottom, there is one review by a customer - they seem to like it.

Also, if you go to the Kudzu page for Scent Works, about half-way down they have some information on how it behaves in CP soap.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input. Shipping is higher on the site that has lower prices, so it might even itself out in the end anyway. I'd feel safer trying out a company that someone else has previously used and has an opinion on :).

I buy HEAPS from Nature's Garden. I love them. Never had any problems with customer service or ordering. I've found they list most problems on each frangrance unless it's blank which means they haven't tested it yet.

Oh, great, Coolah....just when I had convinced myself to go with the Scent Works, you come in with this glowing review of NG. Now I have to go back and re-think my stance.....

Southern Garden Scents has a well reviewed kudzu. They have two distributors, one for east coast and one for west. Google them and you can get more info.
