Rating: I highly enjoy this French Vanilla FO! It’s very rich and buttery. It has a very strong aroma, which has worked out perfectly for my Soy candles. : )

Rating: Very realistic and warm vanilla flavor. I can feel the notes of caramel, but it only complements the flavor.
The soap CP turns brown, but I like it in a confectionery soap.

Rating: As promised I've now used this in cp soap. It does discolor a bit but a vanilla stabilizer helps a lot. I've also blended this with the lavender fragrance oil and it's just perfect. This is a permanent fixture in my line up.
By:Jennifer, Irondale, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Apr-2016
Rating: I used this tonight in soy wax blend melts and it smells so so so good. Just like real vanilla. I'll add another review when I make soap with it which will be it's true test. I'll be ordering a 16 Oz bottle next time as this is the perfect vanilla to blend with. Smells like true vanilla. Yay!
By:Jennifer, Irondale, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Apr-2016
Rating: This is a very buttery vanilla in the bottle but mellows out when blended and holds up well in cp soap.

Rating: very buttery when first sniffed from the bottle, but blends nicely with other oils. great products nda, you rock!
By:Ruth, Anderson, Indiana Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Apr-2010
Rating: Very yummy scent, I got a bigger bottle for Christmas, i have a big order of candles with this scent combine with almond, always a big seller.
Rating: Agreed that this smells exactly like French Vanilla Ice Cream. If you want to use it to make an ice cream type scent, it's great. I find, though, that it doesn't blend well with other oils for the purposes of making an adult perfume, in that it makes them smell too sweet. I prefer the vanilla essential oils or the absolute (latter is my FAVORITE!!). The vanilla lace is softer and subtler and does better in a feminine perfume blend, but it's also pretty overpowering compared to essential oils.

Rating: Smells exactly Like Vanilla Ice Cream Yummy and sweet. If you are looking for a True Plain Vanilla scent, this isnt it. But if you are looking for something more "Ice Creamy" Then this is it.

Rating: Really sweet scent. Works well in cold process soap!
Rating: This is a strong but sweet vanilla scent. It smells good on it's own, but will probably blend well with other scents (this is my first time ordering this, and I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet.)
Rating: I LOVE THIS!!!! YUMMY!!! so good you almost want to eat it!
By:Stephanie, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: A nice sweet, warm & buttery vanilla. I use it in my sugar scrubs, lotions, cp soap & balms, my customers love it! It does turn cp soap a nice tan color, but that is to be expected with any vanilla, I love it & wouldn't change a thing. Mixes very nicely with peppermint.
Rating: I used this scent in just regular melt and pour. I didn't realize it would turn the soap dark brown. Next time I'm hoping to buy the vanilla stabelizing soap. Customers luv this scent. It works well in melt and pour and the soy wax for candles
By:Cands, Marystown, Newfoundland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Lovely! Identical to the EO except for the price;) Works beautifully in lotions and scrubs. Wouldn't be without it.
Thanks NDA!
By:Colleen, Brimfield, Massachusetts Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Jul-2006
Rating: A very warm, soothing and comforting scent. I love it!
By:Terri, Atlanta, Georgia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Aug-2009
Rating: Great scent, but it may help quicken trace in CP soap. I used 1 ounce in a 4 pound recipe and it started to thicken up immediately. I was still able to use it, but I think it would have been a total loss if I had used more than one ounce.
But did I mention it had a great scent? Yummy!

Rating: Great smelling vanilla, kinda like icing. I added this to a cp soap and it tinted it a tan color , looked good though. Great fo!
By:Gregory, Nicholson, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-May-2008
Rating: This scent is a really good seller. Works well in cp, turns it a dark fudge brown colour and is wonderful in bath melts. A little does go a long way!
By:Kim, Penetanguishene, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I don't like this scent on it's own, but it smells fantastic when mixed with peppermint essential oil. I also found that it darkens cp soap, but it does not seem to accelerate trace.
By:Pam, Redbridge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Smells delicious!! I love it!
By:Valerie, Meaford, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Smells very true and discolours to very dark brown in CP soap.
By:Ashley, Marathon, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I use this in my soaps it just smells great I also use the maple as well couldn't choose just one.
By:Mark, Sydney, Nova Scotia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is the rich french vanilla that everyone knows and loves. It's exactly what you would expect, and stands beautifully on its' own, but of course would mix well with others. There are so many vanilla's to choose from, and I wasn't sure which ones I really wanted, so I ordered all of them! But this one is the original rich french vanilla that will stand on its' own, but if you're looking for a creme get the "vanilla." It smells like vanilla ice cream, and is great for making scents like lemon creme, or orange creme.
By:Jennifer, Lansing, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Jun-2008
Rating: I love that I can really smell a real vanilla scent that has an almost creamy base. Smells like vanilla beans mixed with a a light cream. The fragrance is not too light. Very well done.
By:Lynda, Birmingham, Alabama Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Dec-2008
Rating: Just a quick update...made cp soap with this sent four weeks ago. I used 2.5 oz to scent 4 pounds of soap. It did not acelerate trace, and did not discolour immediately. I knew it would discolour at some point, so I used 2 Tbsp. of titanium dioxide to try and combat the depth of brown, scored the top with a fork so that it would look like cake. Now that it's fully cured, it's a medium shade of brown...a cooler shade, not warm. I've called it Vanilla Fudge as it suits the scent and the appearance. I will try more titanium dioxide next time and see if I can't lighten it further. Smells delicious....good enough to eat!
By:Sarah, Cochrane, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is another sent in like OMG!!! This is to die for.LOVE IT and use it in everything from scrubs,lotions and body wash.
By:Mercedes, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Jul-2008
Rating: I haven't tried this scent in cp or hp soap yet, so can't comment on coloring or acceleration of trace, but the aroma out of the bottle reminds me of homemade vanilla icecream; the kind that is made with an egg custard base. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Can't wait to smell it in soap!!
By:Sarah, Cochrane, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Warm, buttery and absolutely delicious, French Vanilla sells well and has a great scent throw in soaps and lotions alike. A little goes a long way with this scent, and the scent lingers gently.
By:Nicole, Windsor, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Very nice, warm, buttery vanilla...just what I was hoping for! Combines very well with Lavender EO.
By:Karen, Timmins, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This fragrance is so warm and delicious, it's what people have come to expect vanilla to smell like, mixes well with.....everything.
By:Colette, Alliston, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Smells like typical vanilla frangrace. Warm and very sweet. Smells like typical vanilla candles.
By:Nelly, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a beautiful vanilla!! It turns CP soap dark brown (as most vanillas do) but the discoloration is worth it! I've been searching for a worthy vanilla for a long time, and I found it it this fragrance.
By:Carolyn, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: A rich, lasting scent. A personal favourite.. Sweet and warm... smells just like a Tim Hortons Cappucino!
By:Christina, Leamington, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Very strong and sweet. Perhaps a little too candyish for me but people seem to really like it in soap!
By:Alexandra, Nanaimo, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: It is a great scent in the product after the first synthetic weave from the bottle is gone ;-) It gives the opaque mp soaps and cp-soaps a beautiful tan-color and you save yourself the colorant. (otherwise use vanilla stabilizers against discoloration or swirl with unscented white soap, turns out beautiful!)
By:Susanne, Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Rating: French Vanilla is fabulous, and has a delicate scent that lasts all day long.
