iammommytwo Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a customer that sent me some Lavender EO from Maui. It's her fav Lavender, and wants some candles that will smell just like it.However- it costs $10 for a 1/16 oz vial, not including shipping. She'd be willing to try a less expensive EO ( perhaps from CamdenGray, or FNWL), or even an FO that's as close as possible.I mostly use CandleScience's Lavender, but am looking for suggestions/opinions in this matter. I use the CBA for all my colored candles, and she'll want them colored.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobtheFerret Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 http://www.lavendergrowers.org/A group of lavender growers in Sequim, WA. Several of them extract their own EO. Web site I have you has links to growers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think Candlescience's is the closest to EO. I use it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernCharm Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I really like using the CandleScience Lavender and I also like using the Lavender from www.wellingtonfragrance.com. The only thing about Wellington is they have a min. order of $100. Any orders under $100 you get charged a service fee.Pepper:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You can get Lavender EO from 10 different suppliers and have 10 totally different scents. I get almost all my EO's from EOU (http://essentialoils.org/cart/index/0/0/?key=1) because I like the quality the best. There are several different types of Lavender and the only way you can compare them to what you have from your customer is to order samples of each and test them.

kandleindulgence Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi,Candle Science has the best Lavender FO and it smells very very close to an EO. Have you tried Lavender EO from Rainbow Meadows or Sunrose Aromatics?HTH,Jameel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
