Hey gang. I received my orange 5x. What's the recommended usage / lbs of oil?

i use 1 oz ppo and anchor it with clay and eucalyptus or patchouli (my newly beloved fo :) it's great with any of the wood eo's too - juniper, fir needle, etc. a little clove is nice too, but not much or it will accelerate.

someone mentioned orris root as an anchor. would love to hear more about people's experience with this, esp with orange!

oops, editing to say i use 1 ppo for total blend, not 1 oz ppo plus other eos. yikes, that would be strong!

0.39 oz PPO or 2.3 % is my maximum usage. I use even less in some blends. Sometimes the base note 'anchors' it, or so we think. Wonderful EO. If you soap cooler, more will stick.
