Personally, I think it doesn't smell like verbena, it smells like Key Lime pie. However, my customers love it.
Spunky lemon and floral verbena combine in this uplifting citrus delight. The scent begins with bright lemon that gives way to a heart of lemon verbena and lemongrass. Base notes of peru balsam and vanilla ground this beautiful herbal citrus fragrance.
This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including citronella, lemon and orange.

We experienced slight acceleration but no separation. It appears like we experienced a false trace due to the low temperature of the oils. We continued to stick blend, and as the batter heated up it became thinner and more fluid. Expect to work fast with this fragrance, but you should have time to do some design work if needed. After 24 hours we noticed a small amount of fragrance had pooled on the surface. After the cure, the scent was strong, and the soap was a pale yellow shade.
Personally, I think it doesn't smell like verbena, it smells like Key Lime pie. However, my customers love it.
Wonderfully true & authentic lemon verbena aroma & WOW is the scent potent in CP! Hands down, the most zesty, botanical & fresh lemon verbena fragrance I've ever smelled! Doesn't get any better than this, and in a fast-moving recipe with steep liquid discount, this FO actually thinned trace for me, giving me all the time in the world to work at my own peaceful pace! The scent survived CPOP beautifully! In every aspect, I am thoroughly impressed with this fragrance! It's truly lovely!
This is my new go to scent I LOVE IT. Customers can get enough of the smell
Love this scent, used for making candles with 464 soy wax
This is a beautiful lemon scent but I grow lemon verbena and it doesn't smell like this. This smells just like the little hard candy "Lemon drops". I hope it sells as good as I think it will. Used at 9% in para soy blend it turns the wax a yellow - gold tint and it sinks so I heat the oven to 170° and turn it off and l put the candles in the warm cooling oven to slow down the cooling process to eliminate sinking.
We fell in love with this fragrance right out of the bottle, with its fresh lemon scent...however, the warm throw is terrible. We've tried this fragrance in three different strengths thus far, all using a base of GB 464...1oz/1lb, 1.25oz/1lb, and 1.5oz/1lb...for all three batches, the throw was nearly imperceptible unless directly over the flame. We've chosen to discontinue offering this fragrance from our line.
I absolutely love this fragrance it does smell like lemon pledge; I gave one to a customer and she left it in her car with the lid off and the next day she said her whole car smelled so fresh and clean; so she bought 5 more for the house and her husbands car/ they are using them as car freshners sooo funny; really a great scent throw both hot and cold; I used them in the 4oz jelly jar and 4oz cans; soy wax gw-464 and I used the eco 10 wic size perfect flame perfect scent I would recommend
I have a lot of customers request lemon. This fragrance is amazing! Reminds me of lemon essential oil and vanilla
This definitely smells a lot like lemon Pledge, but I don't hate that smell, so I rather like it. But don't expect a true lemon smell. Performs well in GB 464.
Can someone tell me if this scent is similar to Meyer's brand Lemon Verbena scented hand soap?
Love this scent--it's cheerful and sunny with a touch of sweetness. Doesn't read as artificial to me and it's a great scent to burn during the dreary days of winter.
I'm not a fan of this at all. I love Lemon Verbena candles, and was so hopeful to find this scent to be fresh and light. Instead, it smells an awful lot like the dusting spray of my youth. It's an artificial lemon scent, not a lemon verbena scent. Very unfortunate, but glad I only bought 2oz worth. Hopefully someone finds it appealing.
Lemon Verbena is one of my favorite scents so I was really excited about this, but I just can't get it to have a hot throw at all. Cold throw is great, but when burned, nothing. I even tried adding 2x the amount (2oz/lb of soy wax) and still didn't get any hot throw at all.
I really like this scent. It's one of my first scents I used when I started making candles. My mom always requests Lemon Verbena when I'm making a new batch
I am a lover of all things lemon, and this scent was somewhat disappointing. Both out of the bottle and the cold throw smelled AMAZING, but while burning it had a strong chemical smell that reminded me of citronella. I wasn't impressed.
This scent smells great in the bottle but the hot throw is terrible. I did a test burn and it smelled like burnt lemon wax. I did 2 batches to see if one batch was bad but both smelled terrible.
I bought a lemon verbena candle a few months ago and loved it so much as a morning candle. So fresh and lovely. I had already wanted to start making candles and was worried I wouldn't be able to duplicate that smell, but this fragrance is awesome! I used 1 ounce for 1 pound of wax and it smells amazing. It's not an overpowering, sharp smell. It's very pleasant.
Recieved the Lemon Verbena loved the scent then noticed it was for candles only.I need it for soap. One of the reviews said she used it for soap.Who is correct? I have used Lemon Verbena before from another company.
This is a must buy scent its my personal fave out of the bunch i bought! Great fragrance throw in soy wax. Very pleased!
I ordered a 1 oz bottle to see how well it would both soap in cold process and also how well it would be received by my customers. OH BOY! Soaps great and the batch I made sold the first day at the market where I sell. Please get it back in stock ASAP!
I bought this to make a candle for my mother (who is a doll, but can be hard to please)and I am happy to say she loved it. A nice sutble scent.
This one was a bit of a miss for me. I adore CS frag this is the first I have smelled that was a bit "cheap" for me but I had a few of my testers really enjoy it so I will keep it around, but its not a personal favorite.
I absolutely love this fragrance and so do my customers. It is a fresh lemon smell with just the right amount of tartness and an slight herbal note in the background. The best part is is palm there is no fuel smell and it has a great hot throw!
This is an out of bottle review as I literally JUST got my shipment in, but wow does this smell nice! Reminds me a lot of litsea. Really excited to put this in wax!
Big fan of Verbena, and that with Lemon is an A+!
WOW!
My first order with Candlescience and I was very pleasantly surprised with this scent. Very lemony but not too tangy - I highly recommend this one. Customers love it!
I am sorry, bad review here...It smells like Pledge dusting spray to me. Not clean and fresh like I look for in a lemon scent.
I'm not a lemon fan but this is good. I gave it a 5 because its a great smell. Excellent hot and cold throw.
This one is so invigorating, it makes me want to dance! The most common remark I get on it is that it reminds people of a lemon jelly bean, it is so sweet you can almost taste it. I like it but it is a little too sweet for me.
