Are fragrance oils added by weight? I see one person added 50 drops, was that for the whole package? Do the directions tell you?

When I used oil I only used a few drops. But I was using 100% lavender oil. So it got strong quick. So depending on the strength of the smell that you want and it also depends on what your making.

My recipe called for 2 droppers full but I ended up using more. I used some that I bought at Michael's so it wasn't very strong. I wonder if you would need less if you used a higher quality oil like doTerra? It's a matter of personal preference I would assume. Start with a little and add til it smells the way you want it. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I would look up a few recipes and use those as a guide for adding frangrance. 50 drops seems like a really large amount for the package - I think I used about 12, but it will depend on what you are adding and how strong you want the scent.

I've found that nothing really tells you how much to use - I've have flown by the seat of my pants since I started this and I STILL don't have it quite right - also I have found different fragrances require different amounts to achieve the strength you want... 50 drops might be for the whole package, and frankly, once I figured out that "drops" weren't getting me anywhere very quickly, I switched to tablespoons etc and keep track of that in my notes... Good luck!!

HI: 50 drops sounds like a lot. However, it would probably depend on what oil you are using. I get mine at Hobby Lobby. And I don't measure. I add some (a little at a time) so that it doesn't get too strong. I've done this the many times that I've made the soap and I've always been pleased with the results. But, I don't like a real strong smell. I prefer a more delicate fragrance. Happy soaping!

Don't ever put 5 drops as the directions say unless you want a really strong smell in a short amount of time! It very quickly gave the room a strong scent the first time we tried it! :) From now on, it's 2-3 drops for us! :)

As they are unrefined the fragrance is a natural nutty smell. Since buying this shea butter I prefer it to the Cocoa Butter, I have mixed my own blends with coconut oil and olive oil and whipped it up so its easier to use and you can always add fragrance a few drops of essential oil too

I am not familiar with lots of oils. Whoever is selling these oils probably knows a lot more than I do. I have just always thoroughly loved Lavender! Good luck.

Yes, the fragrance is whatever essential oil is used. However, it isn't overpowering.

We recommend using Peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil at a 3-5% dilution rate, since it is so strong and may irritate the skin if applied neat. At a 3-5% dilution rate, you can add as much of one oil as you'd like (ex. 12 drops of Peppermint and 8 drops of Rosemary per 1 ounce of carrier oil). 3% dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier5% dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier

Hi Kelly, it comes with a plastic insert that flows one drop at a time. The fragrance is amazing; a word of caution, it needs to be properly diluted as the citrus causes a "burning" sensation on the skin if too strong. I definitely recommend the do terra oils.

Hi, I bought this item about 1 month ago. What you will be receiving is 4 rollerballs. Each rollerball weighs 0.33 ounces each. I assume the vendor meant to write 4 ounces shipping weight. The scents were liked by my girlfriend. Hope my feedback helps.

ok sweetie I have been doing aromatherapy over 20 yrs. and no one gave you a very good answer! You MUST blend these oils (except lavender and tea tree) oh it will bur you!!! You can make a cologne or perfume with ALCOHOL not rubbing some folks use vodka say can't smell it but I can I use pure alcohol and let it sit a couple weeks. Now you can also use a "carrier" like Almond oil...etc. ..also you can buy a unfragranced lotion or cream ...PLEASE DON'T JUST MIX IT WITH WATER AND GET BURNED!! thank you

I have researched the oil and when mixing it yourself you would only use 10 drops of the oil in a pint of other ingredients. So while you think you are getting ripped off, you are not. 10 drops is all that is needed and it is the active ingredient.

Not really. It's a basic, pure oil so the scent is just that of any oil. You can add essential oils if you wish to have scent, but it's not a great carrier oil, so you only want to only add it to the oil you're using at that moment.

General rule of thumb is 1lb of wax to 1oz of fragrance. Also the candle science website has some great tutorials. Enjoy!

I think so. Fragrance is added to please the user, not to make the product more effective.

All I can say is that those ingredients are not listed under ingredients on the box as it must fall on the part of the ingredients as "fragrance" as it is probably cause it's their trade mark of that fragrance and they are not going to give away the mix. I have purchased this product 3 times already on Amazon and it is the same as the one you buy at any other store and duty free. I hope this helps.

Great question! I have used it in a spray bottle and the scent is still great. It was a one pint bottle with 20 drops added to the water. Make sure you shake it well before spraying. I have had no issues with this even after 2-3 months of sitting. Love it.

Lynn, I love this fragrance and receive ongoing compliments on the scent. Men follow me out of stores saying they were following the scent. A lemongrass scent or citrus scent such as is found in a body mist should do the trick. Layer the fragrance in a non-hot spot, one spritz high and one spritz low should suffice. If that's too much spritz only once in a cool spot. Hope this helps Lynn. Sincerely, Robin

select a carrier oil such as grape seed, 1-2 ounces will do. Add a couple drops and blend. Test the fragrance then if you wish add one drop at a time until you are satisfied with the fragrance.
