Last year I set myself upon a soap challenge where I forced myself to soap using all of the 1 - 2 ounce oils that have been collecting on my shelves since 2016, use oils that I have never tried before, and colorants that I have been collecting since 2013. This has truly been (well, duh!) a challenge!! So over the next 30 posts I will share the names of the FOs, where I got them from, scent descriptions, what the reviews stated on behavior and what I have noticed. At NO time will I bash the suppliers. If I disagree with a scent description I will post what I smell. Let's get started.
The first soap is from my Pirate's Cove line, First Mate. The Top Note is Ozone. The Middle or Heart Note is slightly peppery. The Base Note is Peppermint. This is of my own creation. Doesn't A or D. The sea shells are real and not soap. I have had them since 2015 and I was looking to do something else with them that fell through.
I used a Wilton tip to get the seaweed effect with the piped soap. The colors are Green mica (turns gold, tan, khaki and back to green), Emerald Gel lab color and Titanium Dioxide. The fragrance is still strong 3 months after cure. I love the Pirate's line because I get to try many nautical scents.
I actually filmed me making this and posted it to my channel on YouTube. I overfilled the piping bag and some raw soap splattered into my mouth while I was talking. I can laugh about it now but at the time it was burning and tasted awful!! LOL The results were worth it though. So far all of the testers for this have loved it. I love it. The smell of the soap when dry is very faint but once it is wet it is very strong and sticks to the skin.
Fragrance Review:
Overall this scent is a keeper. I love the fact that I had a whole 10 minutes to play with the top. No Acceleration, Discoloration and the fragrance didn't morph.
