CSAS Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 In the scent Patchouli Rose, which is the dominant of the 2 scents?I have a customer requesting Patchouli Rose. I have no clue. I am using Patchouli EO and Rose FO (Rose EO cost more than my house payment), and I am not for sure on the % to add of each.I am thinking that the FO is going to be stronger than the EO in the wax, so I was thinking maybe 4% of the Rose FO and 3% of the Patchouli EO.Anyone have any suggestions?thanksTracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Actually I smell both evenly, but in mixing it, I wouldn't be surprised if patchouli was used 2:1. I doubt it would be more than 3:1. Patch has a way of mellowing out scents and I wouldn't think you'd want to mellow out the rose too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSAS Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank YouHere's my first testI did 3% of the Patchouli EO and 5% of the Rose. I increased the percent of the rose FO because I couldn't smell it. When I first smelled the combo at 3% each, it smelled like some sort of liquor. I was gagging. I purchased 7 EO's for this client of mine, and each one I took a whiff of made me want to hurl. EO's are strong and not so pretty. Hopefully I get this on the first try, cuz I don't wanna play no more!!!Thanks againTracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacien Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Patchouli is a base note and Rose is a middle note so Rose should be more dominant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
