I have added three more additions to my soap stock this week using essential oils, herbs from my garden and some chamomile I had on hand...
Lemongrass EO with Hemp oil
Chamomile with just a smidge of Rosemary EO
Eucalyptus EO/Citrus EO with Lemon Thyme............The scents are light, fresh, clean and GREEN.
Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas girls!

I make fruity ones in spring, too. Last week I made blackberry and mandarin orange. I also have a fresh linen fragrance oil, and make one I call Country Clothesline. Recently I experimented with lavender EO, peppermint EO, and ho wood EO, equal parts, and it's lovely. I add orris root as a fixative when using essential oils, to help keep the fragrance longer.

I'm with Marianne. Spring makes me think of clean, which seems funny to say when you're talking about soap, because soap *is* clean. But spring makes me think of finally getting to open the windows and air everything out. So fresh air, line dried laundry, things like that. :)

Spring always makes me wish for the "green" smells. The smell of fresh cut lawn which has lemon mint growing into it. Clothes that have dried on the line . . . don't know what scent that is, but if you could capture it, it would be popular with a lot of my friends! Rain-fresh anything.
If you mean, single note, I crave the clean of lemon, the fresh of peach, a very light rose and always lavendar.
Hope that helps. It sure made me ready for fresh air and sunshine on a more regular basis!
