My newest spring scents both come from Lezlee's Simple Soothings-- her Daybreak alone is a great stand alone scent and I blended the Sage & Citrus with the Cotton Blossom.  I named these: Lazin' in the Sun and Flapping in the Breeze!  :)

I made CP soap last week with 1 T. Lily of the Valley f.o. (from Starrville Soaps), 1 T. of  Daffodil f.o. (Starrville Soaps) and 1 tsp. Patchouli e.o. (also from Starrville Soaps).  It smells great so far, but still needs to cure some more.  The flashpoint on Lily of the Valley is 200 degrees, but I don't know what the other 2 are.  It smells really "spring-ey".  I made an attempt to swirl it with green, but it was getting too thick, as I was too slow getting it all together.  It's goats milk soap, so it's tan in color with green gobby swirl marks.  Looks like leaves(??) instead of swirls, but it still smells great!  LOL

My favorite spring and summer scents are berries and fruits.  Oldtimer & Lily's Blackberry Sage is at the very top of the list.  Others on that list include SC's Coconut Lemongrass; I mean who can resist a good coconut in the summer?  BB's Summer Fling is always wonderful! 

Now, if you want some blends...one that sells well for me is the following blend: 

3 parts Raspberry fo from MMS
2 parts White Wine from FNWL
1 part Iced Pineapple from MMS 

My mother's favorite spring fragrance is anything with Jasmine in it...so I made the following blend with her in mind:

3 parts Jasmine from MMS
3 parts Green Tea from BB
1 part Warm Vanilla Sugar from BFT

As far as Spring Scents, while I personally prefer EOs, my customers have been going wild for Sue K's Green Clover and Aloe and Blackberry Sage. Next would be Bay Rum and Orange, Lavender  EO and then Lilac and Lily

My new love is a blend of lavender, pink grapefruit and patchouli, in a 10:10:2 ratio.  You might think that this could be reduced to a 5:5:1 ratio, but it's really a mixture of  two blends: lavender and patchouli at 10:1 and pink grapefruit and patchouli at 10:1 as well. So,  does that really translate to 5:5:1?  I think it should but, alchemy and fragrance blending being what they are, maybe not.  Anyhow, I stumbled upon this a bit by accident, by adding patchouli to lavender and pink grapefruit (separately) to make them smell more of themselves, then mixing lotion leftovers.  I keep smelling my hands whenever I use my lotion!  I must look like a damsel in distress to the casual observer, however a true Soapnut would know what I was doing.
