Help me decide?

Gonna make some ITP soap... Which one should I do?

1. Cedarwood EO with White base with light brown and green accents.
2. Three Wise Men FO (Frankincense, Myrrh, etc.) Natural base (it discolors a bit) and Turmeric and Paprika accents.
3. Love Spell FO with a white base and dark pink accent.

Keep in mind that Christmas is coming! (OMG!!)

Cedarwood and a citrus is nice - I tried that one. Love the names

There is nothing wrong with using cedarwood alone, and there are a couple of family members/friends that like it best unblended (all guys). I like it blended with lavender or orange.

Why have several of you recommended to pair the cedarwood eo with something? I don't understand.

Cedarwood pairs well with bergamot. If i put this combo in a diffuser, it knocks me right out. I “cured” a bout of insomnia with it.

Theres nothing wrong with just cedarwood if thats what you like, but it smells great with citrus.

I have on hand Sweet Orange and 5 fold Valencia. Would either of those fit the bill?
Oh... And Litsea Cubeba

Any of those would be nice. You would probably get better longevity out of the Litsea

Yes, that! I love my 50/50 bergamot/cedarwood soap! Most times I use cedarwood, it's a small percentage, but I do loves me the bergamot/cedarwood!
EDIT: Just took my post out of the matrix-inception original quote. Pardon me.

I like Cedarwood by itself, but I would be more comfortable with it in soap if it is used sparingly and paired with something else. Why? Because I had hamsters and rabbits growing up and Cedarwood reminds me of their cages. Not really some thing I associate with soap!

Brambleberry's 'Applejack Peel' is a good one - very cinnamony. Scent lasts.

Thank you. I’ll give it a try!
