Pirate's Cove: Mermaid's Tear

Hello, Rose Garden!!

I am back to spin you the yarn about my latest soap. Many people forget that the original tales of mermaids were hideous water sprites or beautiful sirens that lured sailors to their deaths. The original tales were dark, murky and frightening. Today we have bright technicolor gorgeous merfolk who want to be human, love humans or will turn humans into merfolk so they can live happily ever after. That, folks, is not the inspiration behind Mermaid's Tear.

This is a dark tale of murky waters, tossed seas, love of all things tumultuous and dangerous. The fragrance is nautical with a slight spice to it. If you have ever been under water and seen the changing of colors due to the sunlight and the water overlapping itself then you can see how I was able to come up with the color combination.

I love this fragrance because it is unisex and smells really mild. It will keep you in the shower long enough to sprout gills and fins. LOL This soap will be ready for the Pirate's Cove line on April 15th.

Good Evening, Rose Garden!!

How are you? I have been prepping for April's Soap Boxes which will feature my Pirate's Cove Line. I created this line starting back in 2012 and on into 2013. I left it behind back in 2016 but decided in 2017 to not only revisit it but add some new fragrances to it. I have already shown you First Mate, twice on this blog. Next up I will show you High Seas and the next post will be The Sea Witch.

So this is a wet soap look. I have two different blues in here now rather than just the normal solid blue with black band. I wanted to showcase how the waves can be two toned as well as give a nod to the Black Pearl.

It is so hard for me to not make pretty swirls at the tops for the masculine soaps or to pipe them in a particular patter. Yeah, some guys don't like "frilly" topped soaps but a lot of guys don't care as long as it smells good and makes the skin clean.

This cut has so many fun patterns in it. There is a black heart in the soap below and it also looks like the Eye of Thoth. Love the varying blues anyway.

You get to see a little bit of a sneak peak of the next soap that I will blog about, Mermaid's Tear.

All in all, this is a fun fragrance to soap. It does accelerate a little but not to the point that you don't have any play time with it. It will super heat on you so take that into consideration when making this one. I would not recommend CPOP. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Make sure to comment below.
