I'm sharing my list of essential oil blends recipes for cold process soap in this post. Years ago, long before I purchased my first ounce of fragrance oil (it just was not available to soap makers back then!), I started using essential oils with my herbal soaps.
Originally, ALL my soap was JUST herbal based. I was a spice vendor, so adding herbs and spices was as natural as breathing at the time, I learned to color all my soaps with spice or herb infusions. None of my soap was scented, just pretty.
This was still back in the early 2000's when finding essential oils in more than ½ or 1 oz bottles was very hard, and often much more expensive than they are today.

Blending helped 'fix' the overall blended essential oil fragrance better than single essential oils by themselves.
Below are some of my favorite Essential Oil blends that I developed for my BloomWorks Soap Company product line:
Cedarwood & Lime: 2 parts Cedar, 3 parts Lime
Tangerine Lemongrass: 3 Tangerine, 2 Lemongrass
Sandalwood Tangerine 3 Tangerine, 1 Sandalwood
Bay Rose; 2 Geranium Rose, 1 Palmarosa, 1 Bay Laurel
Patchouli Rose: 1 Patchouli, 2 Geranium Rose
Fairy Garden: 1 Lavandin, 1 Ylang Ylang, 1 Rosewood, ½ sweet orange
Cedar Mint: 1 Peppermint, 2 Spearmint, 2 Cedar
Desert Flowers: 3 Rosewood, 1 Ylang, 1 Lavandin, 1 Geranium Rose, 1 Patchouli
