Teach Soap

How's that for an off-the-wall topic?

Here's the situation: I live in Colorado. I have a mastiff that is a show dog.

All the AKC-recognized breeds have what is called a National Specialty show, a dog show with only one breed. This year, the National Specialty for the mastiff is in Denver.

I belong to a mastiff group that is kind of overseeing all the preparations for this event, which will be in May. One of our members thought it would be a nifty idea to have a door prize/raffle kind of thing. And we are going to do a Bar Basket, containing things like Colorado brewed beers, beer steins, towels, etc. So I thought, soap made with beer will be my contribution.

I have in my freezer, all ready for soapmaking, an ale that is actually brewed right here in the town where I live. But I'm not really sure how to scent it.

Here's what I'm thinking so far: a bit of spruce, for that mountain feeling. A bit of lemon, for sunshine, and a bit of spearmint for fresh air. And a teeny bit of cedarwood. I know I have to be careful of the cedarwood, because I don't want it to over power everything else. I don't want to end up with other EOs and CEDARWOOD!, you know?

What do you all think about that idea? Totally off base? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I would go with a clean water scent or maybe an ozone note.

I have no idea what Colorado smells like but I sure would like to visit.. how about at the beer f.o from natures garden. maybe oak and honey and your beer or add some Guniess also. and plain old root beer..
