I'm planning to do 'French Lavender' Dipesh; this also has Rosemary essential oil, which gives a sharper more medicinal scent. Not sure if I'll do plain Lavender at this stage, it's not one of the best sellers.
soapalchemist said:Yes, Mysore sandalwood is a bit of a tragic tale. I believe it's possible to get Rose e.o. with the offending ingredient removed, so that a reasonable quantity can be used, but no idea how that smells with part removed. The only place I could find the stuff would only sell it by the kg. Given I paid £84 for 10ml of the unamended version some years back, you can imagine the cost. Jasmin is another one that costs an arm and a leg. If I could find good quality sandalwood e.o. I would consider buying it, but having been ripped off once already for 100ml of the stuff which was not as strong as it should be, I'm not in the mood to try again right now.
