Hi All!
I have a request for a rosemary scented soap, and truth be told, I love rosemary myself. But... the rosemary EOs I've tried all smell more camphor-y than the fresh, crushed rosemary leaves. Is that the nature of the beast? Or is there a different oil that would smell more like the fresh plant?

Rosemary EO will not smell as fresh as the herb. I have rosemary growing in the pot in my back yard and none of the rosemary EO I've tried smells quite the same.

That's what I figured, since I've tried a few different brands. Shame, because it's one of my favorite herbs to caress as I pass.

BB rosemary eo smells pretty close to the dried herb I have. There are some nasty rosemary eo's out there and BB is the the only one I have liked so far
