So I made some tests for my first emulsified scrub recipes and I'm not really sure if I'm succeeding edit: just to clarify what I'm actually looking for, it's mostly what amount of fragrance *should* I be looking to hit. I don't want to go too high or too low. I read 1-2 percent of the total...

Hey I don't quite know how to put this but I'd like some advice if you can spare some. I won't go into detail (they might be on this forum). I got a product from a soaper that was watermelon scented, and it smelt how you'd expect. But on their label it was listed as "essential oil blends". In...
