cybersix Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi all, I have this new scent to test, I read I should use less then 1 oz pp.. okay, I will do so.But when i smelled OOB I smelled something thats not even close to the lavender I'm used to, the perfumey kind, that I hate, it reminds me of old ladies LOLIs this the real floral lavender? it happens I never smelled a lavender field! peak on their site say it's a classic lavender but to me the classic lavender is the perfumey type, any opinion? So I will be able to tell customers (customers??? where are they???) exactly what it is. BTW I loved it OOB.I'm going to pour it right now!TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 ehm ehm I think I found my answer... it's really a classic lavender and OMG it's sooooo strong!!!!!! Maybe 1/2 oz it's too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 OOB is not a good way to review this scent. And do 1/4 ounce per pound (give or take) because of the strength of it. Another suggestion (and it sells well for me) is to add vanilla passion to it, it tends to give it more of the perfume scent you may be familiar with, and it rounds out the bitterness that tends to come with this oil if you use too much. Good luck! I actually love this FO now that I know not to use too much oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I have NG's Downy Lavender and I think it smells like Play-doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The bottle says 1/4 - 1/2 oz per lb of wax. This is half the strength of their other FOs. I would say that anything within this range is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 I used 1/2 oz but it's too strong, it took my throat, and I have widnows open today!definitely 1/4 oz should be well enough.My question was another but since it's so perfumey I think I got it now.

diamondk Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I use 1/4 oz per pound of wax otherwise it is too strong for me. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I OD on this one every time, out of accident. It leaves you in a great euphoric state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, and at 1/4 oz per lb, it is great value for your money. I hear of others using FOs at 1-1.5 oz per lb, which would mean it is 4-6 times more expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 I don't remember any calming or euphoric effect LOL, just remember my throat burning when I poured the FO in hot wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 LOL it does that to me every time. Too much and I'm really loopy. I know one person on here can attest to the effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
