Any idea /suggestion for a fragrance for pure avocado oil?
I've applied cardamom but am not very satisfied with the result. It smells wonderful but from my point of view the scent doesn't match the green color.

Are you looking for an eo or fo?

For an eo how about eucalyptus or lime?

For an fo how about cucumber or bamboo?

I immediately thought of Fresh Bamboo too. Love it! Beach Breezes would be nice as well. A blend of rosemary and mint would be nice too (think Aveda).

How about some citrus or litsea and vetiver? Vetiver smells very green.

Eucalyptus/spearmint/grapefruit blend would be nice, maybe anchored with some litsea.

wow, thank all of you for your wonderful recommendation. Will try them
I personally am not very satisfied with EOs in CP soap, specially the citrus notes, they are not as stable and as effective as I wish, and according to silly regulatory affairs in EU we need an extra certification when we apply more than 0,5% EO in cosmetics. Can you guys imagine that? We are allowed to apply up to 5% FO but not more than 0,5% EO. Sometimes, I think I'm going to jump out of the window
