I am willing to buy any EO needed to go with it for a good scent for men. My hubby does not like any of the "fake piney" scents, and I am tired of the same blend time after time for him and the other men in the family. I am going to get sandalwood and allspice to make the Old Spice dupe for them, but I really need to expand my repertoire.
Hey susie! Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I have a soap that's almost a yr old, if I remember correctly, I could send. Actually I have 2, one I made before the final one (for the fragrance blend swap last year). It smelled different 8 months ago, of course, but the eos still havent faded! I find it a tad creepy to be honest lol. The blend swap was
40% cedarwood
20% patchouli
10% juniper berry
20% french lavender
10% dark vetiver
The other soap created first was slightly different percentages using these eos, but it wasn't as woodsy as I wanted....it is appx
25% cedarwood
16% patchouli
8% juniper berry
33% french lavender
16% dark vetiver
Plus minus 2%, I measured in grams and did a quick math on percents...it was a practice and I wasnt set on recording to a T.
Unfortunately the swap soap doesnt smell, to me, quite as woodsy as it did a few months ago, but that is because of its age. Well I just smelled them again. I probably have nose fatigue (and I can't shake a cold) because I can smell woodsy earth more now. My practice soap (2nd blend listed) has 8% co 12% pko, and the swap soap (the 1st blend and my favorite) has 18% co. They also are lard, sweet almond, castor, sodium citrate, sugar, silk, and micas. Being higher than you like in stripping oils, I wouldn't be offended if you wanted them for sniffer samples only. I need to make room as it is
Oh, just looked, the swap one is appx 10 to 11 months old and my second blend listed, the practice soap, is 11 months old... fyi.
