I am working on the bath and body items to go into a gift bag for our speaker at an upcoming conference. She finally got back to us with the type of scent she likes. She said she likes "fresh" scents - not floral and not too strong. I'm not even sure what a "fresh" scent smells like. With the holiday weekend, slow shipping times, and a gift delivery date of Sept 17, I don't think there's time to order anything and then rush to get it made on time.
Most of my FOs are floral or food-ish (OMH, Honey and Shea, mocha, etc.). I do have Calamondin Sea Salt, as well as Driftwood and Sea Salt. Do either of those qualify as fresh? If not, can anyone recommend a mix of EOs or FOs to make a "fresh" scent? I do have lots of EOs on hand that are typically used in soaps. Thanks in advance for your help!
PS - Yes, I do expect to see this in the Thread Titles and My Very Strange Mind thread. Please run with it!

eppermint 2:1 is quite lovely and not too floral. Or try drops of lavender/peppermint/eucalyptus or peppermint/eucalyptus or orange/eucalyptus to figure out what smells good to your nose. I've used orange/eucalyptus at 2 or 3:1 (orange:eucalyptus) and it was really quite nice. But that was also in soap, which as we know can be quite different than B&B. Lemon-eucalyptus smells like citronella to me, so I'd maybe skip that. A bit of fir needle with eucalyptus might also be good. Let us know what you come up with.
