Olfactive Description: Floral, Herbaceous, Camphorous

Rich and beautiful, Lavender (Bulgarian) is an aromatic floral essential oil steam distilled from the stems and flowers of certified Bulgarian lavender. Lavender sourced from this region is known for its deeper, more fixative scent and has a more heady, multidimensional aroma than its French counterpart.

We’ve tested this essential oil in a variety of products and recommend Lavender (Bulgarian) essential oil for use in reed diffusers, candles, wax melts, and tarts. It performs beautifully in bath and body products like soap and lotion.

Candle Maker’s Notes:
We’ve found that this essential oil has a strong hot throw in candles with a lovely, aromatic burn. It rates three leaves out of three on our soy performance scale, making it one of our top essential oils for candle making.

Blends Well With: Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Orange (Sweet), Amyris

Fragrance Wheel Family: Aromatic

Vibe Check: Calming, Soothing, Relaxing

Suggested Colors: Lavender, Purple

See our complete list of candle making dyes and soap colorants.

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. This oil was slow to reach a light trace and held the light trace for a long time. We continued stick blending to a medium trace. The batter poured smoothly into the mold and did not thicken. After 24 hours, the scent was strong, there was no discoloration, and no sign of the soap going into a gel phase. After 30 days there was no discoloration and the scent remained strong. We did find that after 60 days, the scent faded slightly.
