I use this amazing body lotion called Hempz (made from hemp seed oil) - I know they have several different scents but the one I use smells like a bubble gum, cotton candy ish kind of thing. Very sweet, sticky smelling but also has a very clean and friendly smell.

Does anyone else use this lotion and know of a fragrance oil that may smell similar? It is one of my favorite smells and I would love to make a candle or lotion that smells like this.

Or should I just buy some bubble gum and cotton candy FO and mix them up and see what happens?!

Any suggestions?

That is exactly what I would do. I would get the two you mentioned, and maybe a "clean" sort of scent and mix it how I smell it. Drops at a time until you smell something pretty close. Keep tabs of the drops so you have ratios.

I do a bottle. But, I hear dropping it on a cotton ball is closer to what you will smell in the lotion.

Good luck!

Go on Honor you know you want to buy some more fragrances....you can always say the devil made me do it.
Just trying to make myself feel better after spending far too much on fragrances just so l can say to myself "See its not just you"us addicts have to come up with all sorts of excuses to get more little brown bottles through the door.

[tasha]

lol I anxiously await your fo's arrival

can't wait to see what you think

[honor435]

they still havent shipped, i wanted the 5$ flat rate and they cant get 1 4oz in that, i dont want to pay 11 for one bottle, so i changed it to 3- 1 ouncers, oh... the wait!

[honor435]

still havent got it, not charge on my cc, i emailed and they said my card wouldnt go through, they never called or emailed!!!! I have money in that acct or wouldnt have used it, So, i resent the order with cc #, we'll see, is this what pine meadows is like? hope not.

[lauramw71]

ugh, not a good first impression from a company!!! I'm anxiously waiting to hear how it smells!! I checked their site, and they'e pretty spendy... hopefully this isn't how they normally are.

[honor435]

yes, spendy, i wouldnt normally spend that much, but i want hempz!

[honor435]

its on its way, finally!

[lauramw71]

WOW!!! not quick on the shipping are they? When I place orders I want them to magically appear on my doorstep in the next 10 mins. haha!!! I can't wait to hear how you like it! A girl I work with LOVES the hemp... She looked online and the big 18oz bottle was on sale for $11. She asked me how much it would cost for me to fill her bottle up with GMH scented with coconut. UGH she had that dang page up so I only charged her $10 for 18oz...
