Scents

[Marilyn Norgart]

I ordered a couple samplers from brambleberry so I could get a better idea of what some of these scents were like. they came and are .5 oz each and I got 12 different scents in each pkg. some really great smells!! but...…..I got a rose, lilac, cedarwood and 1 or 2 others that I really dislike. I was wondering what scents I could mix with these to just have a slight fragrance of them coming thru. I did the toothpick test and used vanilla with these and tried lemon with a few of them--its not what I want. I saw a chart online with different scents and what they would mix well with but unfortunately the side where the go with scents were on was cut off. I am going to do more research but was wondering if anybody here mixes any of these scents with any other scent or if I just cut the amount of scent drastically would that be best? the other scents were peppermint, spearmint (which I like) eucaliptus

I love citrus and floral combos. They don't all work but it might give you a place to start.
Cedarwood is a great scent that can go with almost anything. I love it with herbs, floral, and spicy scents.

Here's a link to the Soap Queen's tips on scent blending:

I'd recommend going to the Reviews on the page of each scent to see what others have done. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of charts for blending FOs.

I'd also recommend soaping each sample before deciding whether you like it or not. Some of BB's fragrances are much better in body products vs. soap.

I like lavender with either rose, lilac, or cedarwood. With the florals the lavender cuts the heaviness and makes them a cleaner scent.
