Teach Soap

Hello everyone!! I am on a quest to find what I would consider a scent that may or not exist. For my "spa" store, I am trying to incorporate a certain theme with the products that I will be listing soon which would be (hopefully) products with the scent most related to relaxation. I know that there are essential oils and fragrance oils that I can use that are inspired by water and trees, earth and air, but I am looking for a sand type of odor, if that even exists. I have seen fo's that have like that "suntan" smell, but I am trying to create my own blends without using "already made" type of oils, to give it that unique original spin. Has anybody seen or heard of a fragrance oil that I can use that would create that beach or sand smell? Thanks.

Most sand I've been around just smells like rotten seaweed, salt, marsh, or pond detritus! Is the scent you want more like an ocean breeze / beach smell?

There are beachy type fragrances out there, but I don't know of a blend that you could create that would smell the same. There is seaweed absolute, but it's pricey and wouldn't make your soap smell too good.

Thank you guys, yes, more of a beachy type scent, but not with too many other scents that I wouldn't be able to add anything to it. I didn't even realize what I meant when I asked but I see both of your points. Looking for "beach" fragrances is a little difficult because then I might not be able to make it my own. Hmmmm.
