Bath and massage oil

[Scott Masler]

Hi! I wonder if anyone can help me...

My favourite smell ever is the Tesco sensual bath and massage oil, but unfortunately they stopped making it and I'm running out of it!!

I'd like to try to re-create it myself. The ingredients are grapeseed oil and essential oils of Rosewood, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Cassia, Ylang Ylang and Cardamom.

Does anyone know how much of each I would need to use?

Thank you!

Hi Littlebird

It takes a lot of experimentation to recreate a blend. Please can I ask you not to use Brazilian Rosewood - its quicker for me to put a link about this than explain it all, but basically it is endangered.

You can use 2% essential oils in the carrier/base and you will need to work out the ratio of each oil to make up your required blend and this may take you some time to do.

have fun doing it. I might even try it myself just to see what it's like.
Start by making up a sample blend of the neat oils say 1 drop of Patchouli, and Cassia, 2 drops Cedarwood, Ho Wood, Ylang Ylang and Cordamon.
If you are not an aromatherapist it may be difficult for you, as you won't be able to discern which essential oil you have too much of. In which case it may be an idea for you to ask an aromatherapist to try and recreate this for you.
