MIXING FO

[rhonda]

Can you mix any FO's together or is there more to it than that?

It depends on what you are making. Always mix body safe fragrances together for bath and body(soap) applications. If you are making candles have the appropriate fragrances. Even gel candles take special fragrance oils. That is the main thing to start out with. You can experiment to see what smells good to you. What did you have in mind?

Planning on making a MP using monkey farts FO however, my daughter thinks it should have a banana scent as well and ask about mixing the Monkey Farts with a Banana FO. I have not purchased the Banana FO because I did not if there was a secret to combining them. Both FO's state that they are for soap making.

Sure you can do that. My son does MP and mixes FO all time. What does Monkey Farts smell like? Cute name!

The description says bananas, berries, bubblegum, and vanilla but I think it smells like real sugary bubble gum...that's why my daughter wants me to add a banana scent.

I often mix e/o's and f/o's together as well. Some e/o's are just too expensive or don't exist so f/o's are a wonderful alternative.

Yesterday I mixed pear and china rain together for a cp soap that I call Sweet Oasis. That Monkey Farts sounds yummy mixed with banana! 8)

I mix them together all the time .. as goofy as it sounds .. blueberry crumble and OMH go exceptionally well together ... it's one of my favorites

Sounds wonderful. 8) I'll try that. I mix coconut and banana together for a great lotion scent! Sold a lot of that this summer.
