Trappeur Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I bought a pound of patchoulli dreams by C.Cocoon and am really stumped here of what to do with it. I've never done any with patchoulli and I know so many mix it to make a blend. It sure does remind me of the yesteryears..... What could I mix that people would like being that they were a patchoulli lover as you either hate or love patchoulli. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have always been a lover of just straight Patchouli but one mixture I have seen were raspberry and patchouli. There have been others but I can't think of them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Wait til Scented sees this thread. She is our resident patch Queen! LOL Lots of things go great with patch: honeyorangesandalwoodany woods actually; cedar, sandalwood, pines, balsams, spruce, etc.ambervanillaberries like black or raspberry, probably strawberry toomuskgrass, hay, bamboo I think of patch as a mixer to give a blend an earthy note and it can anchor your scent making it seem stronger, more potent. But there are patch lovers who love nothing but patch and want it straight! I usually carry about 2-3 patch types in my soap and candle line. oh yes... I forgot pumpkin! LOL as in pumpkin patch!!

Trappeur Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Oh that sounds great! How bout amber vanilla? I have that? or pines? hmmmm....well I have them... and pumpkin? (I like that one and call it pumpkin patch) Geesh, is there a certain ratio that you could suggest too as I am HORRIBLE doing blends.... Thankyou Patty and Candybee....oh and yep I'll wait for the patch queen....lol Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) If using amber and vanilla I would start out with: For vanilla, patch, amber at 2:1:1 in that order For pumpkin patch at 50/50% For pine, how about this: pine, patch, cedar at 1:1:1 or 2:1:1 (if you want a stronger pine or reverse it if you want a stronger cedar) Oh you are giving me ideas Trappeur. Thats dangerous! LOL Edited March 11, 2015 by Candybee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisajo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 sorry to say, i didn't get much throw from this scent (cc) in tarts nor candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 what wax did you put it in? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 i used american soy wax (old enchanted lites), ky125 and candles and supplies hybrid wax (tarts). i do like bcn patchouli in tarts but it's not a straight woodsy, dirty patch scent. i've used scent-works east indian patchouli in soy candles. it's a mild thrower but don't expect a lot either.

Scented Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Late to this party, but if you want to blend with patch: StrawberryI keep wanting to try a jasmine/patch/vanilla blend, but I need a better jasmine and a better vanilla to make it happen. How about a leather and patch blend ... Dusty road, Grand Canyon ... you might get a good mix .. and it might be better with some amber in the mix too. (Really anything that alters the smell of leather would be a dream to me lol) Patchouli & Orange ... not a bright juicy orange per se, but something with a little bite (blood orange) and a hint of fir or possibly cedar(wood) and you can get close to the Sanguigno Orange & Patch that The Scent Works was known for. Patch and rose, but I think you might need a musk to help bring this around to interesting. Patch and amber at a 1:1 should do a decent battle. Patch and sandalwood and if you had a little pikake, you might be able to bring out hippie scent. That all said ... patch dumbs down a lot of sweet scents and it anchors others. A patch and vanilla combo really doesn't do anything for me, but it might be a good starting base to other blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Pink sugar and patchouli is a nice blend - I call mine "Sugaree" after the dead song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
