Making soap with essential oils...

Top Notes
Basil
Bergamot
Clary Sage
Eucalyptus
Grapefruit
Lemon Lime
Orange
Peppermint

 Middle Notes
Cinnamon Leaf
 Clove 
Geranium
Juniper 
Lavender
Lemongrass

Base Notes
 Cedarwood
Patchouli
 Vetiver
Ylang Ylang


*Top notes tend to be more fleeting in soap, especially citrus scents, so are often paired with a middle and/or base note. A few top notes, like peppermint and bergamot, can be used alone in soap and still hold their scent nicely.

 *The scent of a middle note lasts longer and is kind of like the bridge between top and base notes. Middle notes like lavender,  and lemongrass can be used alone in soap & still hold their scent nicely.

 *A base note is the deepest scent in a blend that you don’t always smell right away, but it sticks around the longest and adds depth. Base notes tend to be heavy by themselves, but when you use just a little in a blend they improve the overall aroma.
