valerie6 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi,I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they thought of peaks lavender fo oil, I have used natures garden before really liked it but just need that and peaks is much closer.Thanks,Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sag_77 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have had nothing but great reviews on it. It is one of those really strong scents, almost over powering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalc Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It's very good in everything I've tried it in...paraffin, soy, room spray, cp soap, m&p soap. Oh yeah~a little goes a long way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It's horrible if you use it at the regular amount. The label says use .25 oz per pound wax, and they mean it I think I use .3 oz in my pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yep, very strong. Does mix well with french vanilla.Vanilla takes the sharpness out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 To be honest, I am not crazy about it. Smells like that plastic-fakey lavender to me.....and I really love lavender.I like many of the Peaks fragrances, but Lavender is not one of them.

debscent Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If you keep it at low percentage it smells great, it mixes really well with their Vanilla Passion. If you go over the recommended %, it smells icky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 This is one of those scents I can't smell in wax at any amount. Same thing with the Green Clover & Aloe.I like it in soap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have some but up to this point have only sniffed it OOB. To me, it doesn't smell ANYTHING like real lavender. But maybe I need to put it in something to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 No, it doesn't smell like EO. It's more "soapy" smelly - what I've found many people are "used" to. That's why I carry it, actually - I have a lot of customers that don't like the EO smell - too medicinal - and like the more florally fragrance.And smelling it OOB doesn't give you the true fragrance - it's too concentrated to smell directly. It needs to be diluted in product to get the full effect.In candles I mix it 50/50 with EO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Oh yeah,,it is STRONG!!! first time I got it I used 1oz and OMGosh it just about killed me,,Asthma and Lavender does NOT mix. My sister loves it so it went to her,,LOL:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Very Strong!!!!! Smells nice though if you use a small amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It is really strong and I'm not much of a lavender person. I also have the Lavender from BCN and Peak's is sooooooooo much stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 After all this positive input on the FO, I suppose it's time I go give it a try!!! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I love this stuff. It's capable of putting you on a relaxing high though if you use too much. Very strong at just .5 oz pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
