Just getting started with FO

[Morgan Ipsale]

What are some good FO's to blend to make a better smelling FO? I'm just getting started with CP soap, body butters, & lotions.

Best to buy from a supplier close to you to save on shipping. All suppliers are hit & miss. It takes time to find FOs that work for you. I usually start with their "best-sellers". There are several threads about FO recommendations from various suppliers as well as a comprehensive review with comments from members. I don't have the link. Hopefully someone will post it for you.

Here is some links, that will help you, lot's of tips there. Every person is different when smelling fo's, what one likes another does not, so it's best to do your own testing.

Zany, I think they are looking for blending ideas of fo's, not suppliers. I've given links in my above post.

Vanilla and sandalwood are good FOs for blending. Vanilla can cause discoloration, but it smells delicious.

You're correct, Relle. I missed that.

Bramblebery's Black Tea and Spiced Amber Ale is an awesome masculine scent. Their Ancient Sedona also pairs well with a little mint (peppermint EO was used). The latter two will be discolored to a tan color but the first two FOs do not discolor.
