Nikki Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have tried Lavender from two vendors so far and am not sure either are "the one" for me. I am looking for as pure of a Lavender fragrance as possible. Can you please share your favorite Lavender fragrance oil and vendor? Thank you!

kandlekrazy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I've used 3 that are all really good. CS Lavender, The Candle Source True Lavender, Tennessee True Lavender. My customers have never noticed a difference so I order from whatever supplier I need other stuff from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siren12 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 CS lavender just came in the mail today and even in the bottle it smells great. I can't wait to try it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Have you considered using essential oil of Lavender? A little goes a long way in almost any application. It tends to be more of a medicinal fragrance to me and I like to soften it with some vanilla or mint. This is a good time of year to bring out the lavender and mix it with other herbal fragrances. Unfortunately, a lot of people think of old people or an old fashioned fragrance but another side of lavender is its ability to soothe the nerves and help relax at night for sleep. Don't claim any kind of powers but you can honestly say that it calms or soothes. I love lavender and peppermint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesinflorida Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Brand new here! I just received Flaming Candle's lavender and it is a definite winner. The cold throw is excellent-it is still curing, but it is the strongest lavender I have tested. Candle Science Lavender is a close runner-up, but I think the Flaming Candle is a little more sophisticated and complex, as well as stronger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flaming Candle's Lavender is awesome in soap smells like Bulgarian Lavender to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisajo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Not a fan of Tenn Candles lavender... Yes it smells fantastic OOB and on cold throw but melting in wax melts had a bitter, biting bottom note. Made me dump my melts. It might be better blended with something to sweeten it a little. I prefer BCN lavender in wax and soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've always heard TN's lavender is really good. Has anyone CP'd it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
