Invent a scent – Fragrance oil for handmade soap

Following my article re. fragrance oil, last November, I have decided to play a bit around with inventing my own fragrance oil, a scent that only I could duplicate.

Being the ever soapmaker on a budget, I recycle all my little fragrance oil bottles, essential oil bottles, etc… so today, by filling them up with olive oil, I dropped about 10 drops of various essential oils in all of them, shaking them and smelling them as I went along the way of inventing my own scent. I will wait a few days before using them and see how they turn out in a full recipe of handmade soap. That could be a lifesaver for my pocket if this little way of inventing a scent works.
