nadiadee Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hey guys! So in the wee hours of last night, before I started a new batch of soap... I started blending a bunch of FOs that I had just bought (50ml bottles, at RM40 each is murder :C) I came up with two blends, if you guys can think of a name for it that'd be great! Also, I'd love to send a soap over to the person whose name I chose (if you would have it, of course!) I'll try to add a description of the scent as well. I am quite limited by the amount/type of FOs that are available locally as we don't have any blended FOs (ex: Aztec's Bay Rum which smells soooo good) so I have to blend them all up myself. Also, if anyone knows of a company that sells FOs without a super steep shipping price, it'd be helpful. 1st blend: 1 part Timber FO (very sweet and fresh woodsy scent without the sawdust base*) this will have to do until I find a more Woodsy-like scent 1 part Patchouli FO 1/2 part Verbena 1/2 part Lemon 1/2 part Spearmint This particular scent reminds me of a rather botanical gin and tonic, its a very clean scent too. 2nd blend: 1 part Clary Sage FO 1 part Lemongrass FO 2 part Aloe Vera FO 2 part Cucumber FO 1/2 part Plumeria FO My DW thinks that it smells very spa-like. Sorry for the long post, TIA Lemme know if I posted this in the wrong section... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am terrible at coming up with names, but those blends both sound complex and nice. The only thing I can think of is 'Tranquility' or just Tranquil for the second spa like one. Sound soothing...but what do I know, it may be energizing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I agree with GailC, both blends sound nice. For the first one I think woods and spearmint = Winter Woodland or some such. Second one Gail is on the right track with Tranquility or Serenity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 For the first blend, I'd call it Hippie Chick or Mermaid Dreams 2nd blend Peaceful Day or I like the other recommendations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what can I rename Sex on the Beach? I don't like Fun in the Sun as an alternate either. Tropical Paradise maybe? Also need a name for Butt Naked. Finally got a sample of this one. I smell a lot of cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadiadee Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Oh wow! All of you are fantastic at this! @Incendia : Conception cracked me up!! @kandlekrazy : I love Hippie Chick (Chic maybe? A bit of an oxymoron with the word hippie though haha. Which one would work better?) @GailC and @Incendia: You both gave me the inspiration to name it Tranquil Dawn (2nd blend). It sounds perfect for the scent as I think of a tropical sunrise when I smell that blend.. Thank you guys so much! Though I am still not too sure on the name for the 1st blend.. Hippy Chick or Hippie Chic? Also, soap gremlins attacked when I was making the 1st blend last night. I am prepared to hit myself on the head with the stick blender at this point (but that is another story altogether haha) So kandlekrazy, GailC and Incendia: Soap for you beautiful people? If yes, drop me a PM hehe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Paradise maybe? Also need a name for Butt Naked. Finally got a sample of this one. I smell a lot of cherry. Thanks. And sorry for the flip answer. I had to go water some plants before it got totally dark, but I felt 'inspired' and as often is the case, couldn't help myself, lol. I like the scent Love Spell, and to me it is reminiscent of apricots. So at my age... that's what I might call it. I'm not familiar with either Sex on the Beach or Butt Naked, but I do think the names are clever for a certain market. And they apparently do sell well if I've heard of them. Candle science description of Sex on the Beach: Quote A playful rendition of the classic tropical mixed drink that blends fresh pineapple and orange with tart cranberries. Notes of vodka and peach schnapps give this fragrance its "true to life" scent. This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including Orange. and from Flaming Candle: Quote Butt Naked Fragrance Oil A fruity floral blend that combines green apples, spicy pears, honeydew melon, and strawberries with light accents of cherry. A soft floral accord and creamy vanilla undertones adds texture to the fruit tones. Hmmm, I didn't realized both were sort of fruity.

kandlekrazy Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I like the Chic and is actually what I used for a eo blend with patchouli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Incendia I like Umbrellas and Sand. I might go with that one for Sex on the Beach. Thanks! I did keep the name for Monkey Farts, but that's as far as I go. My little great niece was smelling my fragrance oils and read the name of Sex on the Beach...I am just not comfortable with that name or Butt Naked. I already have a Love Spell fragrance oil. Quite popular too. Got it from Aztec and people say it smells just like Victoria Secret's cologne. Edited March 12, 2017 by GailC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having fun and jotting down more names. For something with cherry notes, how about Sweet Cherrity. I also like the one you mentioned - Umbrellas and Sand. Very beachy. Very summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My family friendly names for these two are Sleeping in the Sand and Bare Bottoms. But I usually just go with the original names. It brings people to my table and they have to smell them. Karen in MA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
