I LOVED the scent in the FO bottle, but the HT on the candle is too much for me. The smell is too strong and overpowering. Even with less FO added, it's just not a pleasant smell for a candle.

Reed diffusers, candles, and soaps add an intriguing natural aroma to any space. This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils including orange, lemongrass, and citronella. Note Profile:

Cold Process Soap Performance
| Acceleration | Discoloration | Separation |
|---|---|---|
| None | None | Slight |
Lye Water Temperature 110ºF
Oil temperature 113ºF
We did not experience any acceleration. There was a little bit of separation but no ricing. When we stopped mixing we could see the separation of oil and water. We alternated stick blending and hand stirring for about 8 minutes total to bring the batter to a light trace. We tried to bring it to a medium trace but the stick blender began to overheat. After 24 hours, there was a small pool of oil on the surface of the soap that we blotted away before removing from the mold. The soap was not any softer than usual and the scent was incredibly strong and true. Using a little less fragrance can help minimize any seeping oil while still offering a strong scent. We did not see any sign of the soap going into gel phase and there was no discoloration. After 30 days the interior of the soap bars have a slight purple discoloration while the edges do not have any discoloration. This should easily be covered by using titanium dioxide or any other added color. The scent is still strong but did fade slightly.

GREAT PRODUCT
Candle Science offers the BEST fragrances. The lemongrass and green tea is quite refreshing. customer service is great! Will continue to buy.
Amazing Scent
This is another of my favorite scents for candles from CS, I would recommend. Super clean fresh relaxing scent.
As much as I loved this scent in wax melts and oob, I can not get this to work in candles. I've tried wicking up and down several times, I even tried without dye and still can't keep a candle lit. This is the only fo I've had this issue with and I only use Candle Science scents. Frustrating but hopefully I can find another use for it eventually
Love this fragrance
Note: I first tried this fragrance after the reformulation, so no idea what it smelled like previously. Nonetheless, I love this fragrance and smell of lemongrass. I've been using in the following combination with no issues - GW 464 wax, ECO 2 wicks, 4oz & 8oz jelly jars.
Green Tea and Lemongrass Oil
Using C-3 wax with a CD 14 wick. The candle burns for 10 minutes then goes out. Is there a problem with this oil? I've never had this problem with any other oil.
Thank you,

Sisterhood Candles
I Absolutely love the way the green tea lemongrass Smells in my melt and pour soap.
Second Favorite Scent!
I love this scent! It's good on its own, but if you add White Tea with it, it gives it a boost that makes it even more fragrant and fresh!
Great scent for melt and pour soaps
I really like this scent which has a refreshing medium scent. It is not too weak or too strong and does not require a large quantity to make my soaps smell refreshing.
Amazing
I bought this scent a while back and have been hesitant to use it because I wasn't a fan of the smell, but once burned it's amazing. I used a little over the recommend amount in my five ounces of wax and I don't think I had to because it literally filled three rooms of my house. I will be buying more soon.
Simple and lovely
This is a very under estimated versatile fragrance. It’s a perfect blend with the green tea and herbal freshness of lemongrass for a wide appeal. It fairs well both as a masculine and feminine scent. It’s a great spa like scent as well.
I think it’s a great fragrance to add to any high end candle line.
I will have to admit, I like this version better than the old one. I see a few disagree and that’s ok too!
Bring back the old scent. This new scent is a Big NO for me! It smells nothing like the original. Please bring back the old fragrance oil for Green Tea and Lemongrass.
Fall in Loveeeeee
This. Fragrance. Is. Soooooooo. Amazing!
New candle maker but this is the first scent I've tried that has blown me away. It smells simply divine. I dont know what to describe it as tho. Its just really beautiful...
I haven't burnt my candle yet but the cold throw is amazing in GB464 using the Alex Method (no other method worked for me with that wax - I wont repurchase that wax)
excellent smell in hot and cold shot
Anchor of Hope Design
I love this one. Very strong hot and cold throw.
pleasant
You def smell more of the green tea in the new version, probably would do wonderful as a soap or body product.
Strikingly different from the original
While the revised is a nice, light fragrance, it is notably different from the original fragrance. More citrusy, not as musky, definitely more zingy. It's quite disappointing. Like the previous reviewer, the original fragrance is one of our top sellers, but this revised version isn't going to make it through our testing.
Not even close
This new version smells nothing like the original. I’m so glad I was able to stock up on the older scent since this is one of our best sellers. I love that CS is trying to improve the scents but most of them smell nothing like the fragrances I’ve come to rely on for my business.
It is a spectacular scent, very fresh and soft. My candles smell delicious!!!!!
