I am wanting to make a Cassia blend. I am having a hard time figuring out the amount of EOs to use. If I am making a 2.5 pound batch would .2oz of Cassia, .5 oz of lavender, and 1.5oz of orange sound about right? Do those oils even sound like a good blend?

Well, I can't speak to the blend itself -- cassia and orange should be good, and lavender and orange, I just don't know about cassia and lavender from experience! :lol: But the amount of cassia seems safe at 0.5% of total oils. Your total blend comes out to 0.88 oz/ppo, which seems a little high to me, but the orange may justify that. Assuming you're doing CP -- are you using 5- or 10-fold orange to help the scent stick? Otherwise I'd recommend some sort of fixative base scent like patchouli, copaiba balsam, or, since you're using a lot of orange, litsea. Just a little bit (maybe not even enough to change the scent too noticeably) should help the longevity of the orange :)

I ended up only putting in 1 oz of orange because I wanted it to be more of a cassia soap than an orange soap. It still smelled to much like orange to me. I like it, but not want I was going for.

If you are using regular orange, it will fade out over time. So give it some time.

One of my favorite tools is the Rainbow Meadow blend calculator. Just choose the essential oils you want to use and click on the "find blend" button. The calculator will even size the blend for you.
