March Soap Challenge Pictures Are Here!!!

 Good Morning, Rose Garden!!

How have you been? This month has been filled with a lot of fun and exploration when it comes to fragrances. So, I decided to have a soap challenge. The rules were to create a soap inspired by coffee. We could not use any coffee, brewed or otherwise, no coffee FOs or essences, and no coffee embeds. I came up with a chocolate wine coffee soap. Most people have forgotten that a few couple of popular coffee chains sold wine and beer in the early 2000's. So here we go!!

I made this soap at night. I truly try not to soap late at night but I still seem to do so, even it if I start cooling my lye waters the night before. So I took these pictures in my kitchen where I would have the best light source. I used titanium dioxide and created my own chocolate color mixing 2 dioxides and a gel lab color.

I cut the loaf a week and a half later. There is some soda ash at the top but that can be washed off in another two weeks and the soap will still be dry and ready by April 15th. They smell so delicious.

I will offer a few bars in my launch of The Chandler's Rose sister company The Fragrance Nook, LLC. I will still ship The Chandler's Rose soaps under the sister company for a little while and then all of the offerings will be new fragrances created by me for The Fragrance Nook. Stay tuned for more!
