Weighing Essential Oils
I adore Speculoos cookies but my favorite is the cookie butter that is available. I love it on sandwiches but my favorite place to use it is on freshly made crepes. Did you know that one of Trader Joe’s® top selling items is their Speculoos Cookie Butter? (I can totally understand why. Can anyone say “Yummy?”) Today I wanted to make a scent blend that smells just like Speculoos Cookie Butter. I mean, if you can eat it, why not smell like it too!
Weighing Essential Oils
I love how simple it is to make this scent blend. Sometimes blending can be stressful and intimidating for me. It is even harder when the scent blend is close but not quite there. I find that asking friends and family what they think of a blend to be very helpful. They are often able to give ideas and pointers that I might otherwise not have thought of.
Tomorrow we will be using this scent blend in a lotion. I am so excited for tomorrow. Can this get any better?

Adding Fragrance Oil
Place a glass mixing container on your scale. I like to use glass because it is easier to clean and more durable under the stress of mixing scent blends. I have found fragrance and essential oils can be excellent solvents! Measure the fragrance and essential oils into the glass container. Mix well. Pour into an amber glass bottle for long term storage.

Taylor- This is sooo yummy!! AND… Its calorie free!!
Going in a spray bottle to spray about the house, who needs to bake cookies when I can just spray the smell in the house!
Leslie,
I think being calorie free is the best part about this! I am in baking heaven and the best part is… there are no dirty dishes!
Cheers!

Yay!! I have all 4 scents, I am going to try it, yum.
Terry,
This scent rocks! I love it. Have fun blending!
OK, so I mixed up these 4 scents last night, WHOA, very potent. I added a little Orange EO and some Brown Sugar and Spice to sweeten and tone it down a little. This morning, I checked it and it had smoothed out some, but still a statement scent! Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. I have some X-large salt crystals that I might use as potpourri 🙂
Thanks for the blend suggestions. I would probably use a little less Ginger EO next time, that is one strong scent.

Terry,
It can be a potent scent blend. I really like it in things like body butters and foot creams.
I will have to try it in a salt potpourri. That sounds yummy!
Good idea for the body butter and foot cream. I think I am going to start blending scents the day before I use them, it does create a smoother, nicer blend, especially with stronger scents.
