Soap Making processis way easier but to get diffrent aromas Essential Oils are used in respective ratios. Essential oils are the best way to naturally scent to soaps but picking different oils, determining how much to use, and how to blend them can be a bit daunting.
Creating a satisfying soap recipe may require some trial and error to determine how much of each essential oil is needed to create the aroma you are looking for. Experimenting with different blends can be fun, as long as you avoid mixing oils that may have an unpleasant reaction. It's important you use each essential oil in accordance with its safe usage rate. The total amount of essential oils should be no more than 3% of your soap recipe.
An excellent guideline for blending essential oils during soapmaking is approximately 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes. Top notes are the first fragrances in a blend that are identified by your nose. Lighter, brighter scents like lemon and tea tree are top notes.
After that, your nose identifies middle notes, which are a bit deeper and create a balance within the blend. Oils like lavender and rosemary are middle notes. Base notes are the deepest and earthiest tones in a fragrance. They include oils such as sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver.
