Hi all,

I'm planning on a seaside/rockpool inspired soap, but I'm not sure what sort of essential oils to scent it with, anyone got any ideas?

At most I'd want to use about 3 in a blend - all ideas welcome, thanks! :D
 
Not sure this would remind you of the ocean but my best seller is Lavender, Patchouli, Orange & Geranium. Rosemary also fits in well with that if you like Rosemary.
 
Not per say ocean but here are 2 blends I can think of. The 2nd one has more than 3 ingredients, but so worth it!
Rain: 5x Bergamot, 3x Saldalwood
Blue waters: 3x Lavender, 2x Ginger, 2x Juniper Berry, 1x Clary Sage, 1x Douglas Fir.

One more, I tried it and it smells so fresh, can definitely go with the ocean theme:
3x Bergamot, 3x Sandalwood, 2x Lime.

The -mary in rosemary refers to the sea (marinus) in Latin, so I second the suggestion to use a blend with rosemary.
