Hey there!
I've been working on a Bay Rum aftershave formula for my Dad which, if it's successful, maybe I'll try to sell locally.
The problem I keep running into is that the strong “turpentine” odor that accompanies many EOs overpowers the bay (pimenta racemosa), clove, and citrus scents. (I sourced the best quality EO I could find from Enflourage.)
I just thought I might find some wisdom on this board :???:
I'm kind of curious if the mixture of oils mellows out over the first couple of weeks maybe? I've tried about a dozen combinations and I can't get it to where it doesn't smell like turpentine. It's not really a pleasant smell.
Cheers!
