Homemade funk butter-how do I make the scent last longer?

How does this work? I used lavender, lemongrass, cedarwood and sage. The scent disappears after about 4 hours. I'd rather not reapply.

Strange, should last longer if they are Essential oils you are using??? What else are you adding????

Sorry, I should have specified.... The lavender and lemongrass are pure eo from a reputable company and the cedarwood and sage is a fragrance oil blend. As far as the funk butter recipe goes, I added shea butter (1 TBL), coconut oil (1 TBL), baking soda (1 tsp), cornstarch (1 tsp) and kaolin clay (1/2 tsp), splash of witch hazel and a tiny bit of beeswax. That's all. Maybe I didn't add enough eo? I am still learning how much to add to my recipes. I added 20 drops of lavender and 5 drops of lemongrass and a splash of the fragrance oil.

I'd really like to know where you get these recipes! I'd love to try my hand at making my own... where do you get kaolin clay?
