Notes
If you’d like a deodorant with more of a floral scent, try creating a mix of essential oils with rose, jasmine, and lavender, and a hint of orange (or your favorite citrus oil). As long as you cap the total amount of essential oil used at 10 drops, you can mix to your heart’s content. It’s a fun way to create a custom scent blend or switch up scent profiles with the changing of seasons!
