Almond (Herby)

The luscious nutty aroma of almonds warms and delights the senses, reminding us of home, family and holiday baking in Grandma's kitchen. A favorite flavor in candies, teas and baked goods, almond is used in fragrances to evoke that sweet treat feeling.

Sweet Almond oil is nutrient-rich and helps to condition and soften your skin. It is wonderful in our nourishing body lotion.

Almond is a base note, meaning it adds depth and sensuality to a recipe and the fragrance lingers for a long time. Our almond is strong and true. A little of this widely loved fragrance goes a long way.

Garden Mint (Herby)

Garden Mint is an earthy mint that's blended with patchouli and oakmoss. The patchouli and oakmoss give this scent a richness and depth that the other mints (peppermint and spearmint) don't have, without overpowering it's light crisp aroma. Garden Mint is a cool, grounded fragrance sure to win the heart of any Herby personality. Leafy's really like it too.

Garden Mint is one of my favorite scents. I've used it in my WinterMint recipe and in Snow on the Windowsill and in Cool Berry. I think it goes well with almost any of the other oils, adding a sweet gentle tang to any recipe.

I like it because it's not as strong as Peppermint, and it's sweeter than Spearmint. It sort of reminds me of that Orbit brand, SweetMint gum (which is my favorite flavor of gum).

Spearmint (Herby)

Spearmint is thought to be the oldest of all mints. It is grown for its aromatic oil, which has many uses, such as flavoring teas, candies, gum, toothpaste and medicines. It's used as a breath freshener and for the treatment of stomach ache and headache. As a tea, it helps to calm and relax frazzled nerves.

A lighter scent than peppermint, spearmint is a mouthwatering, crisp and refreshing fragrance which is lightly stimulating. Spearmint is generally considered to be a top note, and it mixes well with all of the herby fragrances and is a fun addition to many floral and fruity scents as well. Use it to make your fragrance a clean and fresh feeling.
