I'm trying to work out a scent blend for several Appalachian themed soaps (CP, for Halloween) and after poking around on this forum a bit I found this thread (https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/ifra-banned-restricted-oils.39296/) that mentions a few oils I had planned on using. I guess it explains why I can't find true sassafras essential oil anywhere.
Of the other oils mentioned as being possible sensitizers, does anyone use them regularly in soap (particularly wintergreen, pine, pennyroyal, camphor, and cassia)? Have you experienced any problems?
Also, I'm looking for the following scents (FO or EO) and having a tough time finding FO's especially that don't smell like a cheap candle.
Thistle
Wisteria
BlackBerry
Strawberry
Tobacco
Coffee
Clover
Mimosa (the tree, not the drink)
Campfire/smoke
Molasses
Whiskey/bourbon
Even if the name of the scent doesn't include the above, does anyone have suggestions of scents that smell similar? I checked the scent review thread but didn't get much help there.
