Save on Scents question

I am thinking of making an order and I am confused on their quality or strengths they offer. I would like to get some dsamplers and they offer the high concentrate in 1/2 ounce sizes. Is this enough for a pound? what strengths do you order? are their scents good quality for the price?
any one how uses their products please fill me in and give me direction as to what strength is best for CP.

If you are just wanting a sample to test, order the regular strength. If you find a scent you really like, order the more concentrated strengths. You will not have to add as much to your soaps, lotions, etc. I usually use at least .5 oz fragrance per pound of oils in my soaps.

I have been adding between .5 and .75 of other places normal strength. But do you add less if you use the concentrate or is that what you use if it is SOS concentrated version?

I guess I am thinking is there concentrated the same as others "regular" strength or is it REALLY more for your buck.

You are right, you shouldn't have to use as much of the concentrated, but if you are not familiar with the SavOn scent, you might want to get the regular strength as a sample before shelling out a lot for the concentrated.
