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!
Here are a couple of blends I like: 38% lavender 25 % rosemary 25% bergamot 12% eucalyptus 44% lavender 22% rosemary 22% bergamot 6% spearmint 6% eucalyptus
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.
I found this one on the EOcalc.com website not too long ago: https://www.eocalc.com/blends/seascape/. It requires four EOs - rosemary, eucalyptus, lemongrass and cedar wood.
I made ocean inspired soap a while back and used spearmint and rosemary which was quite nice together - for some reason it reminded me of the smell of salt water.
