Help with Essential Oil Blends, Please!

[MrsZ]

I have a bunch of essential oils that I'd like to use in CP soap. I like lavender and tea tree together, but I'm not sure how to blend the others. These are the oils I have:

Lavender
Peppermint
Tea tree
Grapefruit
Balsam Fir Needle
Eucalyptus
Rosemary
Lemongrass
Orange
Ginger
Bergamot


Would you all be so kind as to share your favorite blends that I might be able to make with these?

I always use eocalc and check the usage rates and safety for each EO before I actually use them. I haven't checked each of these individually yet, but would not make soap without checking them all first.

Thank you!

A great way to find blends that *you* like is to dip q-tip swabs into the oils, and then hold various pairs or triads up for a sniff . Little PET cups are a nice way to hold them. I set the cups in front of the bottles so I know who is who.

That is a good idea. Thank you!

I don't have any, but I was thinking of getting some patchouli oil.

The above suggestions are great. Also check out www.eocalc.com. It includes a lookup screen where you can input your EO and various blends will be listed using that EO. This might help give you some ideas.

I and my soap peeps love the Gentleman's Lavender blend from EOCalc. It calls for clary sage, which is pricy, but I've left it out and it's still great.
