10x Citrus and anchor EOs

[Candybee]

I have some regular and 5x citrus EOs but would like to find some really good 10x lemon and orange ones. Any ideas who carries these? My lemon completely faded so I think a 10x is what I need.. orange too!

Also, I just got some litsea cubeba because I read it helps 'anchor' your citrus scents. Since I never used it before what would be the proportion to the other oils I should use to start out with? Also, are there other EOs besides the litsea c. that help 'anchor' a scent?

I love orange scents and have had trouble with them lasting in lotions. I just got the Orange 15x EO from WSP, and so far it is lasting longer then the other ones I have tried. I think Brambleberry has the Orange 10x too. I've tried some citrus scents from SC, and they do tend to be light, I like them a lot, but they don't seem to last long for me in lotion. You'll have to let us know your experience with the litsea cubeba, I haven't heard of that before, it would be wonderful if it would anchor the scent and help it last...

Thanks!!!! I will check out WSP and Brambleberry. Didn't know there was 15 fold. That sounds lovely!

Citrus notes will fade but can be helped by adding base note EO, like patchouli or vetiver, or something like litsea or anise to help anchor the scent. Clays can also help.

Thanks ProudMarineMom! I forgot about clays and I have some anise and patchouli.
