Really adorable presentation! Very giftable. I love the paper and the ribbon is a lovely touch. With the holidays coming up, I bet it will sell really well this weekend.

Hi everyone, I am just wondering if anyone has any recs for a "pink" and bright/fresh smelling cherry blossom/sakura FO, preferably one with a little kick of fruitiness around the edges. I am thinking of something more along the lines of BBW's *original* Cherry Blossom fragrance, NOT their wildly popular Japanese Cherry Blossom, which is more musky and muddled than I am aiming for. Unfortunately, pretty much every FO I see advertising itself as cherry blossom scented claims to be similar to that one. :rolleyes2 Thanks!

Deeper base note scents like sandalwood, vanilla, and even a good patchouli are good options because they blend in well with natural skin scents and do not clash with most other fragrances. Vanilla in particular seems popular with the masses. The OMH suggestion isn't bad either. For those people who prefer brighter fragrances, offering a lighter citrus scent may be a good idea. Personally, a fresher combination I like that is still simple and not too "loud" and clashy is blood orange EO + lavender EO. Lovely!

Hmm, it's hard to figure out shelf life for handmade cosmetic products. I think most customers will just use common sense when it comes to shelf life and product safety, but if you want to print shelf life estimates on your labels, I would err on the side of caution and put down conservative estimates.
