If you're a fan of lilac, then this is for you! Great CT & HT using Soy 10.

Used this in CP soap for Spring 2023 and wanted a limited run, but everyone loved it so much, I had to make more every time I came back from a market. It smells just the the real deal that blooms in the yard every Spring, but maybe with a little hint of powder. Highly recommend in CP soap.

I am the proud caretaker of three large lilac bushes and this smells exactly like real lilacs- my husband and I went outside with the bottle to compare and it was indistinguishable. I have blended this with tobacco & sandalwood (different brand) for candles and I am not picking it up in the CT, that said the other fragrance is a pretty strong one (might have been a mistake). I am hoping it comes through in the HT. I think this scent would be lovely in soap or lotion, have yet to try it.

I’ll update my review if I buy another bottle and can get it working after more experimentation, because this was my first ever batch of dip incense, but after diluting this with two parts dipropylene glycol to one part fragrance oil and soaking unscented incense sticks in the mixture for 24 hours, and then burning a stick after letting it dry for four days, there’s really very little lilac scent. I can smell the burning wood, and a faint hint of floral sweetness, but I don’t think I could walk into a room and identify the scent as lilac. It’s a pretty smell, but too weak to identify.

It smells nice on the unburnt sticks, and unburnt the scent is decently strong, but even before burning there’s something slightly off when compared to the lilac bushes outside my house - it’s a good smell, and gets better when it’s in something and not straight out of the bottle, but there’s a lightly soapy and vanilla note that just doesn’t go away, and it lacks some of the green freshness of a real lilac plant, with a bit too much sweetness. It’s not cloying like a lot of lilac fragrances, and it’s a pleasant smell, but it’s unfortunately just not quite a spot-on lilac. I think a lot of people would be satisfied with this as a lilac-adjacent scent in a body care product, but if you want to make a candle with intent for your house to smell like garden-fresh lilac, this won’t quite get you there.

I am no where near a flower scent person but this scent smells amazing! It is such a light flower scent! It does not give me a headache like most flower scents! I mixed it with Lemon Verbena & I AM IN LOVE!
