Has anyone recently purchased a Rooibos Tea FO? I saw some old posts about a FO from RE but it looks like they no longer carry it. Any recommendations welcome! I'm looking for an earthy kind of muddy smell, not floral. Thank you!

Good to understand the difference between infusion and essential oil, thanks for explaining. So since no-one is making the essential oil, do you think that means it's not possible?

Thank you for the response. I've only made one EO, because I've been unable to locate it anywhere as a FO! It's a bush found in the dessert called the Chaparral bush. It's quite common to make an EO from the bush because it contains healing properties and has various uses, but I haven't been able to track down anyone making a fragrance out of it for candles. My method was to clean and then pack a large amount of the leaves into a container. I then covered the leaves fully with fractionated coconut oil and let it sit for a week before straining.

Hello All, newbie here! I'm interesting in making my own fragrance oil. I've made an essential oil and now I'd like to transfer that to a candle, but with the EO I'm lacking both hot & cold throw in the candle. I was thinking if I could transform my EO to a FO, I could have better hot & cold throw in my candle. The only FO supplier I've seen which lists out MSDS is Nature's Garden, so I've been checking there to see what typically goes into a FO. And wow, there are a LOT of ingredients! I've seen a few single note FO which have Benzyl Benzoate as the main ingredient, so I've mixed my EO with Benzyl Benzoate to create my test FO. The candles still have a very subtle hot & cold throw. Any tips from you folks out there? Anyone else gone down this rabbit hole? 😃
