Organic Lemongrass Citrus essential oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus)

Use in Cold Saponification :

If you want to create a homemade soap for your man using Lemongrass essential oil, it's a good idea to combine it with EOs that bring woody, spicy or fresh notes to balance and complement Lemongrass's invigorating, lemony scent.

This essential oil does not alter the trace excessively, making the soap-maker's work easier while providing beneficial properties for the skin. It is indispensable for its cosmetic properties and its exceptional staying power in soaps.

Tips
:

Use 3% of the essential oil in relation to the total weight of your oils and butters ( 300 gr PTH= 9 gr HE) Incorporate 5% white clay to prolong the fragrance and avoid lumps in your soap paste (still in relation to PTH).

Here are some suggestions for essential oils that pair well with Lemongrass for a masculine scent:

1. Atlas Cedar: This essential oil has warm, woody notes that perfectly complement the freshness of Lemongrass. It adds a depth that is often appreciated in men's fragrances.
2. Vetiver: Known for its earthy, slightly smoky aroma, vetiver blends well with Lemongrass to create a sophisticated, down-to-earth fragrance, very suitable for a masculine scent.
3. Bergamot: For a fresher, slightly spicy fragrance, bergamot is an excellent choice. It adds a refined citrus touch that works well with the herbaceous notes of Lemongrass.
4. Ginger: The addition of ginger can introduce a spicy, pungent note, energizing the blend and reinforcing the fragrance's character.
5. Patchouli: With its rich, woody and slightly sweet notes, patchouli adds an interesting complexity that makes the fragrance more lasting and sensual.
6. Clary Sage: This essential oil has a herbaceous fragrance with subtle notes that can add an extra dimension to the scent while retaining a certain lightness.
