Hi everyone,
 
This might be my New Year Resolution and what a discovery!
 
I will start out with the short version of this.
 
I have always liked the smell of oranges and my foot doctor's office always 
 smelt like someone had just peeled an orange.  When I asked them, they 
told  me they get it from some distributor and have not found it any place 
else.  
 
So I had gone over to BrambleBerry Soaps in December as I wanted to get  
some stuff over there to makelip balm for the kids and myself.  While  talking 
with them I asked if they had any fragrance that smelt like oranges or  
tangerines.  I orderd 1 ounce of Orange peels and one ounce of  clementine  
cupcake or cookie something like that.
 
Next I did some research and well here it goes...
 
I purchased a plastic spray bottle.  I purchased 2 [probably 16 or  
larger][I sentJohn out to get it so not sure   of what size he  got]ounce bottles 
of distilled water.  Now I took my 1 ounce of fragrance  oil and poured a bit 
of the distilled water out of the bottle.  I poured  maybe half the ounce 
bottle into the distilled water and put cap on and shook it  well.  I then 
poured it into my spray bottle and adjusted the spray spout  to a fine mist.  
Wahla I sprayed it in the bathroom and near my kitchen  sink and it smells 
like oranges.
 
Now you know you can get all different types of fragrance oils to make  
candles and all of that stuff.  Well I am thinking like a gallon of  distilled 
water to maybe an ounce  of the fragrance oil and you have a lot  of air 
freshner.  With my search they said you need to use the distilled  water and 
you can use this in replace of Feb breeze  and it is a lot  cheaper!!!  Those 
fragrance oils run from maybe $2.50 to maybe $3.75 per  ounce, but if you 
purchase maybe 4 ounces they drop in price way down.   Remember Brambleberry 
soaps with each purchase you make there will give you 1/2  ounce of any 
fragrance oil free with your purchase.  That is how I would  try out some of the 
new smells before purchasing too much.  One One  ounce of fragrance oil will 
scent 2 pounds of melt and pour soap, or 1 to 2  pounds of candle wax.  
 
 
Well had to shaire my discovery with you.  That Feb breeze cost a  lot more 
then that!
 
Happy New Year!
