Lavender candles

I have dried some lavender and I was thinking about putting it into candle wax when I make some candles. If I do this --- would I add lavender oil too or will the dried lavender be enough of a scent when it warms?

I would think you would need to add a bit of lavender oil as well. Lavender isn't very highly scented so I would use both. You may want to make sure the dried lavender is in the outer part of the candle too so they don't flare.

I think that is what I will do. I discovered I already have some lavender oil, so it won't be any problem to add some. Do you have any idea how much you should use?

I would add the oil too. I don't know how much scent the candle would have with just the dried lavender leaves. You could try it both ways to see which you liked better.
