Jcandleattic Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If you don't mind a blend, Aztec's Pink Lilac and Willow is one of the bests I've ever smelled. Otherwise the only other one I like is from Peak which is now out of business, or maybe they are back, honestly IDK (nor care) what's going on with them. I do know you may be able to find their FO's at Keystone Candle Supply, so you may want to check there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaughtyNancy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I made solid perfume for one grandmother using rustic escentuals' lilac FO, and she really loved it. Made a solid lotion bar for a different grandmother using bramble berry's lilac FO, and she really liked hers, too. Best I can subjectively describe the OOB scent differences, rustic escentuals' lilac FO smelled more flowery, softer, while bramble berry's smells a little more like the actual plant flowers so it has a mild earthy and rainy aspect to it (best I can word it) like smelling the real thing but distinctly lilac. While again rustic escentuals' was a bit more mellow and soft, not soft as in weak scent, but just soft as opposed to a very distinct scent. In the items I made, the rustic escentuals' lilac FO was good for the perfume since again it was softer in its nature and more mellow, just a soft floral with some lilac character. The bramble berry lilac FO worked well in the solid lotion since it was very distinct, crisp and a bit strong, and that grandmother has a very weak sense of smell, so it turned out well even at the lower dilution % for lotion. Personally I like bramble berry's because I tend to favor earthy scents, like authentic earthy, so I liked that their lilac FO really smelled like being outside with my nose in the flowers. Rustic escentuals' lilac FO was more of a lady-like floral scent, lilac but again just mellowed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the PL&W in wax and it was nice, but IMO this one is stellar in CP soap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I used to use the one from Backwoods. Everyone loved it and it smelled exactly like my lilac blossoms I have in my yard. Unfortunately BW may be closing but you can stock up while it lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I also recommend Nature's Garden Lilac. It's strong so I only use at about 3-4% in soap. I purchased about 6 different lilacs years ago for a friend who is crazy over lilac. She chose the NG one. I sell a lot of it in soap and scrubs. I really dislike florals so generally leave it up to others to smell and decide when I'm making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
