Candybee Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Finally got around to CP'ing this over the weekend. OMG it is super strong and so far the best Lemon Verbena I have soaped to date. No A&D. Was easy to work with and had time to make a lovely swirl. I have to get batteries for my camera after work so I will try and post pics later.So far I am impressed. Been searching for a strong LV for almost 2 yrs and this is about the 3rd or 4th one I have tried. It got good reviews so I thought I would try it. Glad I did. Now all I have to do is wait and see if it sticks. I used 1oz ppo but think I can go .5 or .7% with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B@BlissStreet Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Candybee, did you happen to try it in any m&p? I've been looking for a body safe lemon fragrance without using EO's. Would love your input if you had a chance to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sticks very well and remains true in cp. and turns very yellow over time. Without looking at batch reports, i think i use it at .7-.8 oz PPO in Cp.Works famously in soy wax candles too at 1 oz ppo btw. And beeswax at .5 oz ppo.

Would love your input if you had a chance to try it.I put this in CP. Since this works in CP it should work very nice in M&P. I would definitely use it in M&P if I still made it.I have been searching for a soap safe replacement ever since CS Lemon Verbena was designated for candles only. I have been desperately trying to find one good enough to stick in CP and so far this is it. Its still strong and fresh lemony smelling. I love it!Pictures in the gallery!

Shar Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Aroma Haven's Lemon Verbena is my go to as well. I agree the scent remains true and sticks long term in my cured soaps. It's a keeper! I used to us CS version too, until they reformulated. I really liked their honeysuckle jasmine too, and now have to blend my own since it is no longer skin safe.

Its Wild Honeysuckle. I have soapies 6 mos. old and the honeysuckle is still awesome!I have yet to find a good jasmine for CP. Still on the hunt...

I've been blending Millcreeks honeysuckle with Cajun Candles Southern Jasmine and it's so lovely, sticks forever too! I have heard Bittercreek has a great Jasmine, but I haven't tried their fo yet.

Scent Cellar Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Candybee, How does the Lemon Verbena from AH/RE compare to Lemon Verbena from The Scent Works?? Or can anyone else comment on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Never used anything from the Scent Works.But I can tell you that the AH version is very lemony and strong. Its not a phony fake scent it smells very fresh and clean and super citrusy. I think next time I will use .7 instead of 1oz PPO. Its very strong.

Carlena Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Did Elements go out of business? I cant seem to get their website to work for me....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirelle407 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I am having the same problem. I can't get on the site. I hope everything is ok with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Received an e-mail from Elements. They were having some website issues, and said they'd be up and running again by this Friday. Looks like whatever the problem was, it got fixed sooner than anticipated 'cause I placed my order a few hours ago. Also, they're taking 10% off all orders (to a max of $50) until this coming Sunday. Please check though 'cause I'm not positive the discount applies until this Sunday :-/ Edited February 26, 2014 by Ravens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktaggard Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Candybee - how did AH's lemon verbena stick in your cp? I would love an update if you don't mind!! I'm still on the hunt for a good one that sticks. I love the mms version but scent got a little light after a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
