Prettyinpink Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 well in grams i used 40gms Cyclo, and 5 grams of FCO then around 10 ml of FO...and though the bottle is very fragrant when i sprayed it on i could hardly smell the scent.I added more FO but it only slightly imporved the scent...what am i doing wrong...or should i just let it sit for a while??

Prettyinpink Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 sorry can't find the edit button and don't mean to board hog today!!!UPDATEI placed my mix in the fridge (its 47C hre today but not indoors) and that seemed to have fixed the problem! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ok I have to ask, what did putting it in the fridge do? I use basically the same formula as you do and don't have any problems. Some FO's are stronger than others but I can still smell them nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prettyinpink Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 LOL, i have no idea why it would not smell when i first made it, but then when i put it in the fridge for a while, i took it out and the scent was there when i sprayed it.

madcitysue Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I've been making dry oil sprays for quite a while and some fragrances just need a little more time to "bloom". I like waiting about a week and testing out the scent to see if it is to my liking.~Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prettyinpink Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Thanx for the tip Sue, cyclo is a new material to me, i tried the scents with a solid perfume base and they bloomed out right away....so was probably thinking i want the sam with the spray...hmmm was going to do the normal kind of bombs but found a recipe with cyclo so i think i'd try that!

soulm8socal Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I use equal parts of FCO & FO , Using your original 40 grams of Cyclo, I would use 10 grams or FCO and 10 grams of FO. Yes the scent will be very strong, but since I use 8ml spray bottles, one spray will last all day. I have also found not much improvement in the scent if it sits. have fun,Edwell in grams i used 40gms Cyclo, and 5 grams of FCO then around 10 ml of FO...and though the bottle is very fragrant when i sprayed it on i could hardly smell the scent.I added more FO but it only slightly imporved the scent...what am i doing wrong...or should i just let it sit for a while??
