I really love the scent, but would prefer an FO for longevity & cost. I'll probably cave and just buy the EO, but... if anyone's got an FO that's close enough, I'd like to know about it.
 
The Lavender FO at Candle Science is very realistic and is infused with Lavender EO. It sticks very well too, I like it strong so soap it at 1 ounce per pound, and I couldn't afford to do that very often with Hungarian Lavender EO.
 
I've blended NG's French lavender FO with a very small amount of rosemary, to tone down the floral and give it a more herbal scent, a few times, successfully. It isn't an exact dupe, but it's very similar.
 
That is funny, because I added just a few drops of rosemary EO to my last batch of soap using the Lavender FO from candlescience. The FO already has that camphor herbal smell. Does the French Lavender from NG stick?
