fragrance oils

Hi there everyone! Does anyone know how to make a fragrance oil that can be used on the skin or like a perfume oil? Nemat has a very popular one called Vanilla Musk Fragrance Oil. I have a few fragrance oils that I have purchased for making body butters and the like, however, I'd like to blend...

RIP to the fragrance oil Green Fig from Brambleberry! It wasn’t a fragrance I enjoyed on its own, but mixed with other floral fragrances it really made the scents come alive. It was a nice green, leafy scent, and maybe even smelled a little like soil or moss. A little went a long way, too; it...

I'm testing FOs from a batch of tarts I made over the holiday and have come across some absolute gems. Our extended families prefer wax melts to wicked candles so these are what have come out as good performers for me, but as always YMMV. I'll update as I continue to test. I hope this helps...

I'm wondering how it performs in your CP recipes & the percentage of liquid to solid oils/butters in the recipes. A few reviews on the site say this FO accelerates trace, a couple say it didn't. WSP reported no acceleration in their testing, but their recipe is 75% liquid oils, which is not...

So I'm new to soapmaking, starting to look into incorporating scents into my soap. Golden rule up to this point of course being, measure by weight, not volume. However, every website seems to exclusively sell their product in mls, not g(rams). Some I've even found have links to recipe...

I hope this is the right section to post this - it's been a while since I've been around! Does anyone know which companies selling/shipping FO to/within Canada are "up to date" or not SUPER backlogged right now? Or perhaps there are Canadian sites (or US sites that ship with reasonable costs to...

I have made multiple 3lb batches of modified CP shave soap using approximately 1oz of FO, but the scents don't POP like other soaps. Any suggestions on making scents more pronounced?

Hi Everyone! I've been struggling for awhile now figuring out how all the wax melt vendors have a million and one scents, I'm guessing scent blending?? Can anyone tell me how to scent blend? Also would love your recommendations on scent vendors. And color, how do these wax melt vendors have...

I looked into a new fragrance oil and it says that even small concentrations could be harmful to groundwater. I made a batch of soap with it, and am seriously wondering if the levels used in soap are really going to have a negative impact on the water we drink. I'm just kinda shocked with tons...

My mom and I got a huge order in from Nature's Garden. It was such a big order that we decided to make a haul video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GILMnojZy8E Have any of you used any of these FOs? I read all the reviews before deciding & purchasing, but I was wondering what experiences...

I have been making candles for many many years. Lately I'm having more and more problems being able to smell a strong fragrance in my candles. I'm currently working with EcoSoya 135. We which is new to me. Tried something new for a change. Been using it about 6 months. Not a huge fan of how...

Today I visited Tuesday Morning, just to look around. I was in the aisle that has the scented candles and diffusers. For the first time ever I saw that they had some boxes of fragrance oils!!! The brand is Abbey & Sullivan. Looked them up on my phone and confirmed that it is okay to use in CP...

Ordered Fresh Ginger from Natures Garden...smells like garlic. Won't be using it or the company again... said they have no problems. Thank goodness I only ordered 8 oz. $10.00 down the drain!

Made my first soap a few days ago and thought I aced it, but noooooo.... Used this recipe: 300 g lard (tenderflake) 270 g olive oil (extra virgin - all I had) 30 g castor oil 79 g lye 228 g distilled water Also used about 6-8 drops of an essential oil I got in Paris a few years ago...

I am using a fragrance from NG that recommends using no more than 5%. I don't know if that is 5% of my oils or 5% of the total soap that is produced. And how would I figure that?

Thinking about switching from WSP (wholesalesuppliesplus) fragrance oils to Nature's Garden oils but I'm a little nervous about how they compare. I know WSP isn't top of the line, I just want to be sure NG isn't worse. They are MUCH cheaper and my husband is worried about the "you get what you...

Hi all, I am thinking about offering some 1 and 2 oz. fragrance oils in my shop and I am wondering if I would be able to put them in small plastic bottles? thanks so much for your help.

I made my first two batches of body butters with fo's i bought from etsy. The first supplier i bought from, the oils were good. I still have some of the pear body butter I made about three months ago and it still smells yummy. The second supplier....ugh. i bought a cotton candy oil and one week...
