One of my favs! I use in cp soap, it does turn a little tan, but the scent is so worth it! Ive used in hand soap, room spray, wax melts, mop soaps! Im def in love with this lemon. Its not your everyday lemon for sure!!
Out of the bottle I thought, OMG this is amazing! Not too sweet but just sweet enough to add something to the tart lemon scent. I had bought a cute lemon dish and wanted to make a soap to display on it. When I realized this came in the spring/summer sampler, I knew this was the perfect use. I let it sit overnight with a tablespoon of kaolin clay to anchor the scent. Since citrus's often fade, I wanted it to last! I made the soap, which came out beautiful. I had no discoloration, no acceleration, no ricing. I cut the bars the next day and have ZERO scent. Maybe I just needed to load it up to a higher percentage? Since it was only the sample bottle I made a small loaf. It worked out to 5%. Testing results said 5% and the max usage is 27%. Thinking this one needed the extra percentage to hold on. Want to try again because I really loved it.
This is alright but not what i expected
In candles. I think it smells like iced lemon cookies (and my family agrees). It's really a nice sweet lemon scent. I'm new to candle making, but I've been using fragrances from this company for years in soap and skincare products. I love how everything here is a high quality scent and has been tested well before they sell it.
I purchased this for a blend I was creating and the blend was so nice even my fussy mother loved it!
Genial esta fragancia
I don’t know why, but somehow I was expecting a tart, bitter, yet fresh lemon scent. And this wasn’t it for me. I wanted to LOVE this fragrance but it’s a no for me. Something about it just smells off. I still gave it 4 stars because it’s still a nice oil just wasn’t what I was expecting. Fresh lemon will always always be my FAV and I feel so bad for “cheating,” on it. Lol. My fault.
A little to strong for me but over all still good
This is by far the best lemon I have purchased from anyone I absolutely love it , I will be ordering more. It smells to me like I cut a lemon in half and sprinkled sugar on top. It’s so gooood
This fragrance is mouthwatering. Is fresh, citrusy and sweet at the same time. Perfect for CP soap, no a/r/d. So far in CP, Sugar Scrubs and wax melts is beautiful.
I'm not sure how anyone can say this isn't a strong lemon scent. Definitely gives off a big whiff of sweet lemon oob.
I was looking for a lemon scent that really POPPED, but this is fairly light scented. I need to try it in some cp soap and see if it comes to life.
I love the sweet smell of it. I also blend it with another lemon F.O.
I was really hoping this scent would be like, a lemon punching me right in the face.
Its very mild, more vanilla scented. Not quite what i was hoping for with the scent title.
Very lightly scented I was in hopes it was strong scented but it's now
Description is true to smell. A nice bright lemon with a *hint* of sweetness, so there's no 'cleaning product' type smell to it. Big fan!
Muy buena !
Not really a citrus type of lemon. It still smells so good to me but its more of a lemonade type of lemon. It smells sweet and the scent is strong.
I was hoping for a more citrus lemon scent. This has more vanilla than lemon scent, but it's not bad.
Out of the box I love this scent! It has a lemon sugar with a slight bakery scent. I am debating using it in a bath bomb versus cp soap because I am worried about scent retention after reading other reviews. It would make a great room spray or candle scent!
Great as a stand-alone or as a blend
This scent is the best that they produce. It smells absolutely delicous!
Used it in a room spray and mt kitchen smelled like I was making lemonade!
I agree with Carol Roskos! I don't get any bakery vibe or scent. Lemon sugar definitely. Lemon Drop! I mixed some of mine with Lime & used it in my diffuser. All 3 floors of my home smelled beautiful! I was working in the backyard & my whole yard smelled like Lemon Lime. Amazing!
This is a fantastic lemon and my favorite one now oob. It’s tart and bright with a sugary sweetness that isn’t vanilla. I haven’t used it yet but can’t wait!
I named this one lemon zest, because to me it smells just like it! Less sweet than the fresh lemon one, and to me seems to be a bit more strong. I'm going to mix fresh lemon with strawberry for a lemonade, and keep this one as is for a lemon zest scent.
Love this one! Def a little sweeter than expected, but still 10/10!
Smells like a delicious lemon pastry! My customers love it!
I am in love with this scent and about to order more! I am burning after only 24 hours because I needed to test something but the smell is filling my upstairs, it's making everyone hungry! I was thinking it would be straight lemon but I'm definitely getting a bakery vibe. It's going to sell great!
It smells good. I’d say the smell is like a lemon meringue pie, there’s more of a bakery element to it than green.
Used in CP soap. No acceleration, ricing or separation. BUT where the testing says it discolors to light yellow? Mine went tan. I used a light yellow mica and TD but the finished soap is definitely a tan. This makes scenes considering it smells bakery and it does contain vanillin. I used at 6%. Can’t speak for scent retention yet but I made it 2 weeks ago and it still smells strong and true.
I had a person recommend this to me before it was released because I was looking for a fresh squeezed lemonade scent for a customer. Definitely not what I'm looking for. It's almost too sweet for my liking but I will see how it sells. I renamed it Lemon Sugar because I think it fits.
