Lemon Verbena....CS & RE

[bfroberts]

I usually use Lemon Verbena from RE, but I don't need to order from them and I DO need to order from CS.  Does anyone know how CS's Lemon Verbena compares to RE's?  I'll be using it in candles & CP soap.
Thanks!

To me it doesn't compare. AH version is the best and only one I use. I will order it anyway even if it is the only FO I need from AH. When that happens I usually order more than one lb to offset the cost of shipping.

Well, since you have an order going to CS, I have used their Lemon Verbena and to me it's good since you need a Lemon Verbena, but my LV I get from Flaming.  I usually am ordering 2 pounds every week for my accounts.  I don't think I have tried RE's   Lemon Verbena but if Candybee said it is a good one, you can be sure it is!   So now you have 3!  We all have our favorites.....

I too use RE's Lemon Verbena.  I use it in soap, lotions and scrubs.   I haven't tried any others though.

Thanks for the info.  I decided to pass on CS's Lemon Verbena.  I'll just stick with RE's, but I do plan to pick up a sample of Flaming's with my next order.  It would be nice to have an alternative, just in case.

Especially when their shipping is so high!

You aren't kidding.  I have tried to utilize them more, because they do have some excellent scents, but they don't carry anything else I use.  If I could've come up with just one more thing on my list to buy, I wouldn't have hesitated to order the LV from RE.  I just have a hard time paying $18 shipping for one FO.

AH is Aroma Haven which is Rustic Escentuals (RE).  FO is fragrance oil.

 

I'm not new, and I still have to look some of the company names up when people abbreviate them.

Yes. AH/RE is one in the same. It used to be called Aroma Heaven/Rustic Escentuals. The Aroma Heaven was dropped and now they are rustic Escentuals. https://rusticescentuals.com/

 

I am just used to calling it Aroma Heaven so I use the AH while others use the correct RE.
