are citrus scents recommended for removing odors? We go fishing a lot, and I wonder what kind of fragrances are best for removing that fishy smell off the hands. I've read that the soap should be more of a scrub too, such as adding cornmeal or pumice...thought I'd ask first before I start making anything. thanks!

I've heard coffee grinds in soap are good for removing odors. I've never tried it, though.

I've used coffee grounds in CP soap and it works. I don't know about MP.

You can use anise FO for fishing odors also although l have never made it l did read you can use citrus FO for getting rid of fish odors.

I made spearmint thyme essential oil blend soap and the scent is great for removing onions and garlic on hands, I am sure it would work great on fishy smells too!

thanks for all the responses and recommendations! The information I came across was mostly for CP, so I wondered about MP (like using wet coffee grounds). I also read about anise-most of what I found was about attracting fish though, so I was getting confused a little, lol...supposed to mask human scent, but didn't say about the fishy scent! :lol:

I have a few citrus scents...and for exfoliants on hand, I have poppyseeds, cornmeal and coffee grounds (maybe). I think I will try my strongest citrus scents I already have and see if it helps/works before I order the EOs that all of you recommended.

thanks again!!

You might also try Lemon EO.
