Life these days is filled with homeschooling, mom taxi-ing, and a million projecst, so I haven't had the time for soapmaking that I would like.
However, this morning I let my son sleep in because he is fighting off a cold, and during the peace and quiet I made an eau de toilette for myself that turned out completely delicious.
These are the essential oils used:
Mostly:
Fennel
Pettigrain
Pink Grapefruit
Sandalwood
Amyris
Ylang Ylang
Smaller amounts:
Pine
Clove
Clary Sage
Tiny amounts of:
Jasmine (it's in jojoba so I added more but the effect is less.)
Lemon
Lemongrass
Bourbon Geranium
Eucalyptus
Patchouli
Peppermint
Spearmint
It sounds like a huge chaotic mess, but it's not. It's heavenly. It's soft. I can't pick up where the fennel leaves off and the pettigrain begins. The sandalwood seems to melt into the ylang ylang.
As I mixed it all up, I felt like a cross between a mad scientist and a spoiled exotic princess. Few things make me happier than this.
