WOW! You read my mind with this video! It was RIGHT ON TIME! I'm tryn to up my fragrance game for Christmas soap by blending to create more complex fragrances and highlighting certain notes(bc i have some very specific fragrances in mind for the designs i already have drawn out), and I'm having a hard time choosing which FO's to purchase that would accomplish this but you've shed light on my issue and handed me the solution on a silver platter!!!!! The fragrance wheel is a tremendous help, as is the advice about the test strip. I never thought of doing that. Duh. The advice on how to bring forward a particular note is also super helpful, given my goal for my soap designs. Reminders of things like vanillin content and flashpoint, good to keep in mind. Im super excited to create a signature blend that totally reflects my personality and scent preference. Ive never thought of doing that before either! I can't thank you enough for making this video!!!! Fragrance blending here I come!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am enjoying how this information you share helps me to understand and be about to personally formate my products. Thank you!
I took your advice, got me some test strips(using the link you left for us), had my fragrance wheel handy(the one you referenced), my pipettes and pen, and set out to create a fragrance blend that enhanced and brightened up a myrrh fragrance oil that I bought a lot of but just can't sell. After about an hour of creative fun(oh it was tons of fun!) I landed on Myrrh, vanilla, cherry and rose!!! OMG! I can't even stop smelling it! I'm thinking about making some wax melts with it for my personal use! Thank you seems too lame for how grateful I am but that's all I have so THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I went on to combine a dark chocolate with pine eo and orange fo and it smells JUST LIKE aa Andes mint! Yummy! And then Christmas past(rustic escentual), keylime and orange. It smells very evervess-y and light. Almost like sprite but more like some kind of candy I had as a kid, just haven't put my finger on it yet😅
I've done extensive research on the Flashpoint of Fragrance Oils. Only time it's a concern to us is around open flame, sparks, or if we shipping them by air. The Flashpoint is when can combust or catch fire near flame, sparks, or during a flight due to air compression. You can safely add Fragrance oils in your wax at 200°+ degrees if that is what your wax calls for. Same goes for cold process soap.
(flashpoint is the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air.) Combustion does need three factors fuel ( vapours) oxygen ( air ) ignition ( spark or flame ) We are not just concerned with combustion while we are making the product but with safety and quality of the product we sell Take a candle for example this is combustion when lit so let’s say we have a flash point of 165 F on the fragrance oil we used , we can have a candle with high flame more sooting or dancing flame making a poor candle and a safety concern for costumers As well as quality of product is effected when fragrance oil is added or left at or above its flashpoint . Fragrance oil vaporizes off so you lose scent ,less scent in your final products candles or soap In general when you have a fragrance that does not stick in cold processed soap it will be the fragrance oil with low flashpoint as Fragrance vaporizes off through saponification Flashpoint is a significant consideration when making products to sell in my opinion to guaranty quality and safety for costumers
What do you do when blending two fragrances that have drastically different usage rates when used individually in CP soap recipe? For instance I have a fragrance that has a usage rate of 6% and another with a usage rate of .20% (point 2). That’s a huge difference between the two fragrances. If I were to blend these two together, what would be the % rate for the blend without using too much that would be over the usage rate guideline for the .2% one? Would I only be able to use the .2% max for the blend even though one of the fragrances has a 6% usage rate? Hope I’m not confusing. I might be overthinking this. Thank You!
I can’t seem to get enough product supply ahead as I have many whole sale orders that keep coming in The good news is I am finally make headway with stock so hopefully soon 😊

I know this is an old video but it’s needed. There aren’t any on UA-cam, at least not a tutorial. I love blending fragrance oils and essential oils.

What type of mixer do you use to mix the fragrance in at the end?
I've done extensive research on the Flashpoint of Fragrance Oils. Only time it's a concern to us is around open flame, sparks, or if we shipping them by air. The Flashpoint is when can combust or catch fire near flame, sparks, or during a flight due to air compression.

(flashpoint is the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air.)
Combustion does need three factors fuel ( vapours) oxygen ( air ) ignition ( spark or flame )
We are not just concerned with combustion while we are making the product but with safety and quality of the product we sell
Take a candle for example this is combustion when lit so let’s say we have a flash point of 165 F on the fragrance oil we used , we can have a candle with high flame more sooting or dancing flame making a poor candle and a safety concern for costumers
As well as quality of product is effected when fragrance oil is added or left at or above its flashpoint . Fragrance oil vaporizes off so you lose scent ,less scent in your final products candles or soap
In general when you have a fragrance that does not stick in cold processed soap it will be the fragrance oil with low flashpoint as
Fragrance vaporizes off through saponification

This sounds like Yankee Candle they smell great, but they use synthetic oils.
