There is only one I have not liked, but I don't have many FOs. The one is called 'pumpkin pie' from CG. Not like smelly *** at all, just too sweet, and not enough spices.

I blended it using a smaller quantity of the FO and added cinnamon leaf, clove, and nutmeg EOs. This works better than using it straight. Have not used these in CP soap, the acceleration would be crazy.

I have another one that I do not dislike, but it smells incredibly strong and 'perfumy' (for lack of a better word) to me. It is 'frankincense' also from CG. I will use much less next time, and maybe blend it with something, but what?
 
What is a fragrance oil which you feel is totally opposite of how this one smells to you?

What I love about some of the sites is they give you options to mix blends as listed with each fragrance oil.

Perhaps a google of "blend frankincense with" may result in some options.

This is a very interesting approach. I would say vetiver (only have the EO). Maybe I'll so a q tip test first though, vetiver is pricey. Thanks for the suggestion!
 
OMG this is funny since I just sold some Monkey Farts scented soaps to a nurse today! I made M&P and it looks like dots throughout figured monkey farts FO wouldn't be too bad and its smells like spring.. I'll have to take a picture and put it up..
