Wow! December and January totally slipped by me. Like, I was dreading the Christmas rush and then boom it was January 22nd!! 👀 Caught me totally unawares. So, the December Soap Challenge didn't happen. I got busy with other things and really lost my focus. I also promised to blog at least twice a month and couldn't even stick to that. I apologize. I have however, started back to making new fragrance oils.
Last month I created a blend called Orange Pineapple Crush. It is to be a cool balance to the warm Iced Lemon Pound Cake. The fragrance has notes of sweet orange, cool cranberry and sweet and tart pineapple. No alcoholic notes this time around. 😋 I am letting the owner of Kitchen Werkz have a full month of play time with it before I release it to the public. Updates will be posted here rather than on IG. I hope to soap the fragrance myself and put it in a lotion before the end of March.
Also, I have decided to re-open The Chandler's Rose and I am going to take The Fragrance Nook public as well. Again, the time frame is for a March Grand Opening.
I have been actively trying out new fragrance oils from Rustic Escentuals and The Chemistry Store. I am pleased with how they soap. Only two have discolored.
Fragrance Review:
Green Pumpkin (Rustic Escentuals) - OOB has a pungent green (think peeled sapling) fragrance. Very earthy. Soaps well. No A or D. No color morph. The first picture of the blog is Green Pumpkin (Pistachio bottom of loaf) and the color haven't morphed after 3 weeks. Fragrance isn't as strong once soaped. Still pleasant but doesn't linger on the skin. Used 1 ounce PPO. Would recommend for a topical product, car freshener, or air freshener.
Awapuhi Seaberry (Rustic Escentuals) - OOB smells masculine/unisex. Medium strength scent. Soaps well. No A or D. No color morph. Scent is the pipped top in the first picture and the color hasn't morphed in three weeks. Smell is light and barely noticeable on the skin. Used 1 ounce PPO. Would recommend for a topical product or room freshener.
