Hi Candybee I remember you once mentioned you had a favorite lavender that you used to order from a supplier out West. For the life of me I can't find it any old posts .
Hope my answer is not too late for you. My absolute fav lavender FO is from Pure Fragrance Oils. Its the original lavender that Tony's and Southern Garden carried. Its more pricey than other lavenders but the best as far as I am concerned. Hope that helps.
