Though there are hundreds and hundreds of good quality fragrance oils out there - in scents ranging from "Blackberry Sage" to "Amber Romance" to "Pumpkin Pie" - I hope you will all try making soap and candles with some pure essential oils at some time. Yes - they can be expensive, and a bit intimidating at first - but creating your own custom blends with essential oils can be almost as rewarding as making your own candles and soap in the first place! To get you started on your scent-ual journey, here are my favorite books on Essential Oils, their uses, their properties, and more.

This is helpful information! I work at For Every Body, a candle manufacturer in Utah, and we have fragrance vendors visit us from all over the world. Like you said, the pure essential oils are much better to use, but they are more expensive. We would like to make an all natural line, and use organic wax and pure essential oils. Let me know if you have any oil vendors that you recommend for this! You can see our blog at http://www.foreverybodycandles.blogspot.com.
