Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Please help! I can't decide on a blend of eo to make a solid perfume for a birthday present for my SIL. Any ideas for combos using these oils would be GREATLY appreciated: Lavender,Tangerine, Peppermint, Rosemary, Texas Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Clary Sage, Sandalwood. I was trying to figure one out that has Ylang in it. I looked at the posts from a few weeks ago of blends but I didn't see any combos that I have. Maybe I missed something, but my nose is going crazy! TIA!!!!! :)jessica ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2000 Report Share Posted February 20, 2000 Can you believe what a dolt I am!?! I didn't really count and now all my SIL's want some of the perfume. It was definatly a success, but can I ever reproduce it? yikes... It was something like this: **perfume #1(in a small lip balm tin): 20 drops ylang ylang, 8 drops jasmine, 3 drops sandalwood, 2 drops rosemary, 2 drops lavender. **perfume #2 (same small sized tin): 20 drops ylang ylang and 8 drops grapefruit. That's about right, I think... :)jessica >From: VickiIsRad@... >jessicastier@... >Subject: Re: eo blends & glycerin >Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000 12:49:21 EST > >Hi, -- >Please share the proportions of each eo?!?!? >TIA >Vicki ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
