THE MINTED BASIL

Smells a lot like mint but the basil comes through too in coconut soy wax.

I like this scent, I love mint and basil, very earthy scent which are my favorites. Has more of a mint smell but I am good with that as well.

I was so excited to get this order, I am only giving three stars because I don't think you get the complexity OOB or even on a blotter. OOB is very strong (all BTB have that in common so far) Mint and eucalyptus are so predominant that i feel I need to see how it responds in CP and wax. I know in CP I will find a sweetness, in part because of the qualities my oils and butters will add, and it will mellow. I expect a similar response from my wax. I am super happy about a reasonable price point and 2 oz size for testing. That gives me enough to test in about three products, and I am always looking for FO's that work well in CP. CP is a medium particularly suited to garden scents in my opinion, and I bought several from this collection. I received about 12 scents and am working my way through testing while in production for the holidays, so I can't speak to performance yet except to say OOB is impressive, and I will post more notes on performance as I complete my testing. I feel this is a promising fragrance that is fresher (which I prefer) and more true to life, as opposed to other versions which rely heavily on sweet powdery notes.
