lauramw71 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I apologize if this has been talked about. I tried a search and didn't find anything. I have a friend who LOVES the smell of patchouli (gag) but her husband doesn't. She wants me to come up with some sort of mix that will appease her husband, but still give her the patchouli she loves. (I have the FO, not the EO). I don't have very many single note FO's so I would probably have to order something. I just don't know where to start since I can't stand the scent. Anyone have any good recommendations for me???Thanks!Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycrazy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh man I love patchouli, some people just don't care for it. I love it mixed with orange or lavender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessv Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm not a fan of straight patchouli at all but I adore it mixed with amber, I use the amber FO from Southern Garden Scents 1:1 with patch, mmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I didn't like patchouli until I bought Patchouli Honey from Elements. I've been a fan ever since! Its also a best seller for me in both candles and soap. Its my #1 seller in soap. So I have come to love patchouli, or at least patch blends.Patchouli blends with lots of other oils:VanillaSandalwood or CedarwoodPine, Fir, Spruce, etc.Orange, Cranberry, Lemon, Raspberry, Peach, etc.LavenderHoneyBergemotAmberLinenGreens; grass, lemongrass, bamboo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 One of my favorite mixes in incense is:PatchsandalwoodJasminevanilla (You could try that.)It's actually one part of each, but I suspect that a potent patch will overwhelm it all ... just saying that even though that's how it should be lol ... you might have to watch it to tame it down ... your friend's husband should understand that patch is an aphrodisiac.

Scented Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh yeah, patch goes with everything IMO ... just like lavender. Start mixing and experimenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deisel Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 i love patch!! i tried a mix of MW patch (2), NG patch (1) and ICS pump pie filling (2) & CS pump souffle (1) for pumpkin patch. so it was 1/2 pump-1/2 patch and it was wonderful-even my friends who dont like patch loved it! really good for this time of year.kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
