    I tried one that called for Veggie oil...YUCK smelled horrible! The olive oil one sounds like a possibility...hmmmm

    I use olive oil as a moisturizer...it soaks right in and doesn't have a noticable scent. My skin is so much softer now.

    I'll have to try them both and let you know.

    Also my bil builds cabinets and furniture for a living and told me that any kind of lemon oil is good.I bet there is a way that you could test different kinds of oils with different smells.I bet a couple drops of of soap scents would work.
