Candybee Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am working on some solid lotions and want a summer theme line of fragrances. One will of course be a bug off type scent. But could use some help of some nice summery scents. I am thinking a line of 4 scents including the bug repellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Pretty much anything berry/fruity or citrus-y - and vanilla's are good year round. And maybe some spa type scents. In the summer, those are the types of scents I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks! Working on those suggestions. So far thinking of going with: 1. bug repellent type2. vanilla type: vanilla sandalwood? vanilla lace? tuscan lace?3. citrus type - Yuzu?, Ginger Lime?4. berry or mixed floral w/berry - TN has a lovely Peach, Magnolia & Raspberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Vanilla Lace - the other two just sound too heavy for summer (never smelled them so maybe not, but just the sound of them, would make me think fall/winter scent, not spring/summer) I LOVE floral berry mixes. I have one from I believe it was AH/RE (I'll have to look) that is a Raspberry Violet and it smells wonderful. Light floral, heavier (but not too heavy) berry - the mix is divine. I love citrus scents in summer too, anything lime, grapefruit and/or orange would be good. I think you are on the right track. I would probably add a water/spa type scent as well. Like an Ocean, or a dancing water (cool water) type scent also. JMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoma Roses Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Lemon Eucalyptus is a good inscet repellant the Lemon Eucalyptus (China) from NDA lists:Main Constituents:Citronellal: 82.1%It is stronger than any citronella that I have used, and very affordable too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rethinking the vanilla but think that a vanilla type would still be nice. Anyone heard of lemoncello? I've seen it in a lip balm..... where? think it was EBB.... will check it out... Anyway, this morning the idea of a lemon vanilla popped into my head or at least a dominant lemon more on the sweet and sour side rather than bakery or floral.

Don't shop at Aztec or NG. I've smelled a volcano scent OOB from AH that was spicy. Is that the same Volcano?

Candybee Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lemon Eucalyptus is a good inscet repellant the Lemon Eucalyptus (China) from NDA lists:Main Constituents:Citronellal: 82.1%It is stronger than any citronella that I have used, and very affordable too. This is one of the EOs I have been thinking of adding to my blend. Thanks! I did want to use catnip too as it has great insect repellent components but the price makes it unrealistic to use, Unless I want to triple the cost of my lotion! Maybe the lemon euc would make a good replacement! Do you mind sharing where I can get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoma Roses Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Candybee it is at NDA (New Directions Aromatics) last time I looked it was $22 a pound. It is very strong, and can overpower other EO in a blend. If you want the lotion to smell like citronella, and want it to repell bugs, then you are good, but a fragrance oil might smell prettier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks for the tip. I think I have NDA already bookmarked. Will check them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I may be the odd one out, but I love the smell of citronella . LOL I've also heard of lemoncello but only as a sherbert type dessert. LOL But know what it can smell like from that and think it would be an awesome summer scent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The mango sorbet does sound good. I have been thinking of a mango type too because they are very popular. Here is a link to the limoncello. Its at EBB and its one of their flavor oils. Can be used for body butters too so its perfect:http://www.elementsbathandbody.com/Limoncello-and-Cream-Flavor-Oil.html I'm thinking either the limoncello or a blend of coconut, lemon & vanilla sugar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
