Essential Oil Blend

I personally like Nature's Note Lavender, Vanilla, Jasmine blend. It is very floral and beautiful :)
—Guest Nature's Note

Works well

Orange, lavender and sandalwood is a nicely balanced blend. I originally made this as a massage oil but can be used in anything.

all seasons

Sandalwood with pine & cinnamon. It is very refreshing.

Soap Scents

I love lemongrass, geranium and a splash of lemon for soap. Also I love Sweet Orange, ginger and a splash of cinnamon. Sweet and spicy.

I never get tired of....

lavender, spearmint, and rosewood. It smells fresh and slightly foresty, and it never gets old ;)

Favorite oil blends

My favorite blend is champagne oil mixed with a touch of peach oil Isabelle (Editors note: there aren't actually essential oils of champagne and peach...but those two fragrance oils blended together sound really fabulous!)

Blends

I find the forest scents calming. Spruce,Fir,ceader,etc. You can also reuse a glade oil plug in. Mix your blend with the same amount of water and go!

favorite scent blends

I love to make a spray with water, lavender and eucalyptus and spray it around the house. Smells wonderful and is also antimicrobial or so I've heard. :) I also make a rosemary, eucalyptus lavender soap and they sold like hotcakes at a community yard sale. I recently came up with oatmeal, honey and cinnamon in my goatmilk soaps which is great for my sensitive skin. They smell like an oatmeal cookie.

My favorite Blend

My very favorite blend of oils is one I make often. It is a combination of vanilla, sandalwood, jasmine, and a light touch of patchouli. I sell out of soaps everytime I use this blend which I call fairy scent. Soapsbypat

Depends on the Season

I like to use citrus blends in the warmer weather and spicy scents in the cool weather. Calming floral blends are for bath/bed time.
