TraciS Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I use KY's and it smells good but I have not found one that really smells like the real deal. I had a casualty in the yard cleanup today and "had" to bring in a stem of lilac to put in a vase. I might just have another casualty so I can have another stem-lol. Any recommendations other than KY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Backwoods has the best IMO. Hubby brought a lilac in from our yard for me yesterday afternoon. I'm staying close to the kitchen sink to sniff all I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasureridgecandles Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 NG has one. I recently got it due to several recommendations from others. I don't personally care for florals, but, a show last month a lady bought every one I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 To confuse you more, I feel Aroma Haven is the most realistic and fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodle Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm sticking with PeaksSame here. I have tried so many lilac scents that it is really ridiculous. My other favorite is from Brambleberry by Cybilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just ordered CS Lilac for my mom's birthday candles, doesn't anyone like that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 CS Lilac is what I started using. Showed a sample candle to one of my retail accounts and she loved it and ordered some just from sniffing it. I like it better than the Lilac I was using from Fillmore and C&S. I remember trying the one from BW and that was good too but don't have any left to compare to CS.

TraciS Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 TY for the responses. I will probably test them all before I decide :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I use CS, throws great in C3 a big seller for me this time of year. Good luck finding one that appeals to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I use CS Lilac. Sells out at every show right now. A lot of customers from the Northeastern states love ours and tell me it smells like real Lilac to them.CS Lilac seems to perform well in parasoy and paraffin. Have not yet tried it in straight soy or palm wax.That being said...Sweetcakes has a very "pretty" Lilac. It's fairly pricey too...but it soaps nicely. A bit more of a "florally" note to it which makes it sweeter than CS Lilac if you want to give them a try.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Peak's Lilac is dead on and it is my best seller, but I do plan to test CS Lilac. Their prices and USPS shipping mean I am trying to shift over to them whenever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen M Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 My favorite Lilac is AH (LW version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciS Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I guess I"m in the middle of lilac season right now and will stick with KY for this year and start getting samples as I place orders. I think I might go broke with all these recommendations though! I think I'm going to try to add a little Ocean to it and see how it smells too.

DebM Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 My best selling floral is Lilac - I use Brambleberry - awesome! I get most of my florals there because they're so realistic. At least that's what my customers tell me, some flowers I just haven't smelled in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
