Notes & Tips:

? Citrus essential oils, such as orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit, are fleeting in soap. To help them stay around longer, use folded orange or lemon oils (as indicated by 5x or 10x on their label) and try pairing them with litsea or lemongrass as an anchor.

? Avoid using old or oxidized oils as they can irritate skin. Use gloves when handling essential oils and avoid getting undiluted oils on your skin. If pregnant, nursing or on medication, check with your health care provider since some essential oils may be contraindicated for you.

Base Notes

Cedarwood Atlas Patchouli Vetiver Ylang Ylang

? Top notes tend to be more fleeting in soap, especially citrus scents, so are often paired with a middle and/or base note. A few top notes, like peppermint and bergamot, can be used alone in soap and still hold their scent nicely.

? The scent of a middle note lasts longer and is kind of like the bridge between top and base notes. Middle notes like lavender, litsea and lemongrass can be used alone in soap & still hold their scent nicely.

? A base note is the deepest scent in a blend that you don't always smell right away, but it sticks around the longest and adds depth. Base notes tend to be heavy by themselves, but when you use just a little in a blend they improve the overall aroma.
