"This one almost ruined a batch of body butter because the chemical undertone kept overpowering the entire scent. At first whiff it smells just like raspberry cream but then morphes into something not so good. I will not purchase this one again."
"Beautiful yet difficult. I make cold processed soap and used this fragrance twice at cool temps, but it seized both times. If making in cold processed, I would suggest reducing any water discount (increase your water/liquid content) and avoid any added sugars (goat milk, honey, etc. ). I hope to master this fragrance in my goat milk bars, as I truly love it. But the seizing is important to know in advance so you can make any adjustments prior and have more success. If I used it in a less chemically reactive product, I would easily give all the stars."
"I LOVE this scent. Lilacs are one of my favorite things, I seek them out. This scent is amazing. Unfortunately it made my cold process soap seize, but I was working with way too hot of materials, so I don't think it was the fragrance's fault. I will order again!!!"
"This scent is very strong and pungent. Accelerated and riced quickly in CP soap. Very difficult to work with."
"This fragrance oil is wonderful. True, beautiful lilac scent. Also, VERY strong in the coconut soy candles that I used it for. I actually dialed it back to an 8% fragrance load even tho I had no issues burning a 10% fragrance load test candle. It was also an excellent blender for a couple blends I experimented with. It didn't take much to add the lilac to the blends. Wicking was easy and I had no issues with this FO for soy heavy wax blends."
"This is a nice floral fragrance which reminds me a bit of hyacinth or lily of the valley. Keep in mind that the acceleration is nuts (it took my batter from watery trace to pudding in 30 seconds, no exaggeration) so you'll need to use simple designs with this fragrance. I experienced no discolouration or ricing/seizing, and the fragrance is nice!"
"This is a lovely scent, very strong and full of Spring!!! I used in CP soap and by day 3 my soap was smelling wonderful already. It did speed up trace a good bit so, be prepared or mix your lye and oils at room temp to help slow down trace. My mom loves the scent and said it smelled really good. I made this soap for my older clientele so. . . a good sign!!!"
"This set up to near concrete in CP in a matter of seconds. Plus, it is not a fresh lilac scent. It smells more like a cedar chest with a bit of lilac thrown in. I can see no reason to recommend this fragrance."
"Seized for me in CP soap, though the scent is incredible. Because it smells so great, I might try again with the leftover FO in a small batch."
"I bought this scent for my customers wanting more floral scents. After reading the reviews, I was hesitant about making cold process soap. I'm glad I did. The 44 bar soap batch turned out beautiful! I didn't have any issues with ricing or seizing. I had time to do a two color hanger swirl. Can't wait for my clients to try it!"
