Hello

First I would really thin out the vetiver in Jojoba

until the consistancy is pourable, then try adding

elemi essential oil to get the smoky smell out it

smells like a lovely perfume. You will get a lovely

surprise after it ages a little.

Hi

You've probably already thought of this, but could you

use it to give a leathery masculine note to blends,

the same way you might use Choya?

Thank You to all who have responded!

I feel I should clarify what it is I am offering for only the cost of

shipping. That would be hand crafted soap made from Shea butter, Cocoa

butter, Babassu Oil, and Virgin Coconut oil.It is scented with

Vetiver, Patchouli, Amyris, and Oakmoss Absolute with a touch of Peru

Balsam. The smokiness came through, and I find it very masculine.

Sorry if I confused anyone! Mercury is going retrograde, and there

goes my communication skills!

That's an excellent suggestion, Pattie. Still, with 20 ounces, whew, that's

a lot of leather and smoke ;-) Reading about this should remind us to

always get samples. There are a few sellers on fast buys I do trust, but

I'd never purchase such a large amount without " rights to return. " Well,

vetiver's cheap compared to jasmine absolute, so maybe I would grab the

cheap stuff and ..... then moan about it quite a bit if it turned out like

this, lol.
