Well, off the top of my head, I'd go for the plants that grow in the tropics. That would include Jasmine grandiflorum, J. sambac, tuberoses, fragipani, ylang ylang, cardamom, cinnamon (leaf, on the sensitization issue), chocolate, ginger, patchouli, sandalwood, maybe some vanilla. Do you have any of these on hand? Light citruses as a top note would be nice, oh, oh, tonka bean as a base, yum! If you have any organic extravirgin coconut oil (that smells just like yummy coconut) that could be a carrier oil. Otherwise, jojoba or fractionated coconut (no scent, but lasting power.) Have fun!

I don't have the extravirgin coconut oil, love coconut too. Lots of jojoba and factionated coconut carrier oils:). Thanks Anya, :)a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
