Peppermint Mixing Ideas

[hmlove1218]

So my goal is to make a Pepperment soap for Christmas. My first thought was just to use peppermint EO and call it good, but the more I think about it, I want to make a subtle blend that will be strongly peppermint, but also have a tiny hint of something else. I have:

benzoin
black pepper
cedarwood
eucalyptus
fir needle
juniper berry
rosemary
spearmint
tea tree

What would you suggest?
Thanks!

I would blend with Benzoin and call it vanilla mint! Such a yummy combo... I love sweet scents.

mint eucalyptus is another really nice blend.

My favorite blend is 6pt spearmint, 3pt peppermint, 1pt eucalyptus.

Thank yall for the replies! I wound up blending 2:1 benzoin and peppermint and called it peppermint bark.

following..... and benzoin? I've never heard of it, and now I must have it! so many EOs...so little time and money! lol

All I have is Benzoin powder. Would that work mixed with peppermint if I premixed the Benzoin with some of my oils and heated it in the micro for a bit to infuse it or would the lye eat the smell of the Benz powder up? If it wouldn't work for cp would it possibly work if I hp'd it since the lye would be done?
