TMeeks Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hey Everyone... Quick question...I need to make a lavender candle for one of my customers, but she wanted it mixed with something else just to tone down the strong lavender smell just a little..Any mix suggestions?? Thanks so much for any ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I hate Lavender and really hate the way it smells when you add vanilla. And vanilla is my favorite scent. I have Lavender Basil from B&L, it's so much better than Lavender alone. Also several years ago someone said to mix Lavender and Pumpkin PIe soooo one day I was making both and poured equal amounts together to make a votive. Believe it or not it smells really good. Who'd have gessed???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I found a recipe to mix lavender and cinnamon. It's called City of Lights. I make container candles for a friend of mine with this mixture, and she absolutely loves it! She says it makes her whole house smell wonderful!

Carrie Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I've got to agree wth Christy. Last time I used Ylang it was a couple of drops mixed with 5ml of Lavender and I can't even smell the lavender, just that ylang. Go easy on it if you use it.
