I love lilacs and the smell of lilacs.
Also roses.
How can I find the oils and how can I make the stuff to spray in my bedroom and bath
Any help or suggestions? thanks hugs sheila
Oh, I would like to plant a few bushes on our farm.
Quesiton:
Do lilacs have a long root that contiunes to spread?
Hubby is against things that spread .
as we have cows .
I would like to have a few lilac bushes though love the smell.
hugs sheila

Sheila,
Here is a website that I like. I often purchase fragrance and essential oils from them. I don't always like fragrance oils but their's are true to the scent and the prices are good too!

I mix equal parts distilled water and rubbing alcohol and place in a spray bottle. I then add however much fragrance/essential oil I like. Shake before each use and spritz away!

I love lilacs too and have an entire row of them in front of my house. My mom and I planted them years ago as a buffer so I wouldn't have to look at my neighbors junk yard (the front of my house faces the back of my neighbors). I also have lilacs on the side of my house. They can be invasive but not horribly so. I have had the front ones for 15 years and I get new starts around the base of them but they don't spread like air borne seeds do. They do have a pretty good root system. Almost all the old farms in the Treasure Valley have lilacs. Almost every old rental I lived in as a kid had either lilacs or roses. I love them both and get to enjoy them twice a year since they bloom in Boise before they bloom here so I enjoy them on my trips to Boise and wait for mine to bloom, Roses don't do well here though, we are just too high.
