can someone please tell me what ratio you would blend these two EOs. Im thinking 2 parts rosemary to 1 part peppermint. But I've never done this before.

A fun way to determine mix is to use q tips and drip by drop fro onto the tip. Set the tip into a jar and in two days or so see if you like the mix (waiting melds the fragrance together to mello it out). Peppermint is very strong so use at 1/2 that of other Essential oils, in my mixing experience.

So I like Rosemary vanilla mint at 2 drop rosemary 1 drop mint and 1 drop vanilla. After your experimentation make what you like and convert to ounces; 2 ounces rosemary 1 ounce mint (I'd probably do 1/2 ounce) and 1 ounce of vanilla. Or try 3 rosemary 2 vanilla and 1 mint. Be sure to write down a note and attach to the bottle so you know what you were testing and know how to duplicate it if you like the mix! Very IMPORTANT!

By starting out small and experimenting you save your supplies for something you truly enjoy the fragrance of. HTH

I've done it the other way around. I would try the q-tips and see how you like it first.

I like full on peppermint buy itself. I wouldn't have thought to add vanilla to the mix, thanks Mella. I'll have to try your blend.

You're welcome. Let us know how you like it!

I did a 2/1 spearmint/rosemary last night (okay, reeeaaaallly early this morning). I'm happy with the fragrance. I'll post pictures when I get it unmolded.

What about lavender, lemon or orange with the peppermint & rosemary?

I did 2 lemon, 1 peppermint, 1 rosemary, and it worked--but it was much more mint than either lemon or rosemary (this was in a balm, not CP). So sometimes, ya get surprised!
