MochaMama Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Can anyone point me in the direction of a sweeter smelling lavender EO. I love the properties of the regular EO and how great it is for the skin, but it smells (to me) sooo "mediciny" I used a Lavender Jasmine blend from Brambleberry which is steam distilled from france using the leaves, stalks and flowers (according to the label) and it's not sweet at all.I also have a bottle of Provence Lavender that is steam distilled from the flowering tops. That doesn't smell so great OOB either.Is it possible for a sweeter smell from (good) lavender EO? If not, I'll just bite the bullet and use what I have.Thanks so much!

Scent Cellar Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Have you smelled Bulgarian Lavender? That is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I found BBs Provence Lavender much sweeter than any bulgarians I've tried. And you have to keep trying - one bulgarian isn't the same as another, and it can vary from year to year. Lavender OOB will usually smell like that - you're smelling too strong a concentration. Put a drop on a qtip or coffee filter and smell that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
