Trappeur Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 When I get back from chemo today I have to whip up a dozen candles right away and I have peppermint I want to blend. I know chocolate would be good and some vanilla, but what else can you suggest? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Peppermint is nice with other herbs. Lavender, Rosemary, lemon verbena... It mixes well with berries too. And pines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy T Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I mix with peppermint rosemary and spearmint. Everyone says it smells like the Aveda shampoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Oh, that sounds great and I have cranberry spice from Bittercreek. I'll make that one. Would you say do more cranberry than peppermint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say do more cranberry than peppermint? Always, peppermint should be a small part of your blend. If it's the dominant %, all you'll smell is peppermint. LOL Use sparingly...a little goes a long way in a blend. You don't want to overwhelm the other notes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Agree 100% about using a small % of peppermint, it does overpower some scents completely. My fav is peppermint & dark chocolate (warning, may cause you to eat all day!) It really does well with a lot of scents you probably would never consider, I've even mixed it with florals for a twist. I do not like Rose on it's own so I've pretty much tried mixing everything with that one. I've also mixed with Lavender, Sweet Pea & Farmers Market (I think that's the name?? mixed floral) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
