Hi everyone,

Any suggestions for using Patchouli EO (in either soap or solid perfume) without smelling hippie-ish (no offense to hippies, just not my thing lol)? I love the scent, but I need to blend it with other EO's for my liking. I don't want to bury it, just blend it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

1 part Patchouli
2 parts Sandalwood
2 parts Orange

but vanilla and mint go good too.

If it's old well aged patchouli, I like it blended with a little orange & peru balsam. Or a little lemongrass & bergamot. Or a little grapefruit, black pepper & clove. Ooh, or patchouli, ginger & ylang ylang.

Patchouli and Lime is my favorite for patch, which I don't like at all by itself. I also like Patchouli, 10X Orange and a touch of Gardenia FO.
