Can anyone suggest a supplier that carries Rose EO at a decent price? Thanks!
Also, Eden Botanicals carries rose absolutes that are diluted in fractionated coconut oil. So a Bulgarian rose absolute is 10% rose, 90% coconut, yet if using in soap you'll still get the aroma and the label value of rose. The price for this is $9 per 1/4 oz. and goes up to $60 for 4 oz. Here's the link: http://www.edenbotanicals.com/products/essential-oils-pure-therapeutic-grade/essential-oils-q-r/rose-absolute-10-bulgaria.html
This relates to something I've been trying to figure out without spending a boatload. Are absolutes much more concentrated than EOs? Would a 10% rose oil like this one work for scenting soap? Or would I have to use 10x as much?
So short answer, no they are not so concentrated that you could use a whole lot less.
An absolute is the most concentrated form of fragrance and highly regarded in natural perfumery
I tried rose floral wax instead of EO's and got a delicate rose fragrance. I really liked it, but it wasn't really strong. I also have some jasmine wax to try. It is much cheaper than EO and the fragrance is from a real rose.
