Anyone make homemade Old Spice Lime AS?

I saw this mentioned somewhere else, but there's about 1,000+ threads on this site about Old Spice so it's tough to search for.

When adding lime EO to Old Spice, how much is enough? Specifically, a new, unused bottle of the P&G stuff? I already have a bottle sitting around that I don't ever use so I figure I'd experiment with it. I'm not necessarily looking for an exact replica of the original Lime OS or anything. I just don't want to go overboard with it.

I've done it to the cologne, but not the AS. I had already bought a couple of bottles of the Indian Shulton, and I thought that I'd see if I could get my cologne to match. I put ten drops of Lime EO into the bottle, shook it and let it stand for a while. After I checked it, I felt like it didn't have enough of a lime fragrance, so I added more drop by drop until I was happy with the results. In the end it was somewhere between 20-25 (I can't remember exactly).

I would encourage you to start light and go from there. Different brands of EO differ in intensity and preferences differ too. It's a fun experiment.

Thanks! I kind of figured it was a trial and error sort of thing. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
