Why not use the Q-Tip test. Try 3 parts lavender, 2 parts peppermint and one part rosemary. You can increase or decrease the amounts of each oil to suit your nose.

I like the lavender to be more predominant. I would try 3 parts lavender, 1 part peppermint, 1 part rosemary.

I agree with soapbuddy - I like to have the lavender smell come thru. I really like BB's Lavender & Herb FO and would try to replicate that one.

I buy this same combination pre-mixed. It is 3 parts lavender, 1 part peppermint and 1 part rosemary. I used 1.7 oz in 4 lbs of soap (near the low end of recommended usage) and it is VERY strong, but also very nice!

I used the lavender herb from BB and thought it was gross. Give me straight lavender anytime
