Teach Soap

The one scent that seems to sell well for me around the holidays is peppermint eo, second distillation, from BB. Wonderful creamy smell to it. I tried Fresh snow last year, but no-one but me liked it Chocolate orange (like the break apart orange?), home for the holidays, any pumpkin pie, vanilla bean noel and snickerdoodle all also seem to work well for me....

For men Im really liking Juniper Sage (BB) mixed with Winter Grapefruit also from (BB)

I agree that the guys do go for the food scents---- I think there was a survey out one time that talked about how men love pumpkin and cinnamon smells. I'd also like to add Champagne. It's a great holiday scent-- cp soaps like a dream and guys and women love it. It's a staple for year round in my line up.

Hey Linda, what does white grapefruit smell like? I just place my humongous order with Brambleberry, I ordered the juniper sage, but I don't have white grapefruit, is it much different from pink grapefruit? I have that.

I got winter grapefruit once as a free sample. But I will order it again , I like to use it to blend with. I think it smells more like somthing that Id like to smell on men than on women. As far as the juniper sage I put grape fruit in it to cut the whole Irish Spring smell.And Find I like it better that way.

ok, so pink grapefruit wouldn't work. Guess I'll have to see what i have when my shipment arrives.

Pink Grapefruit would be fine to brighten up Juniper sage which I think tends to be heavy. I just ment that I was realy impressed with how well winter grapefruit worked with juniper sage. Since I didn't order it , It just kinda fell into my lap. Alot of these great combos came about by just trying to use what I had on hand.

cool, i'll give it a try when my order comes.

Spotted Cat!

Just realized why my Sleigh Ride was turning so brown....duhhhhhh. My soaps are all Goats Milk soaps. 50/50, with the exception of OMH which is 100%. I took the Goats Milk out of my last batch of Sleigh Ride and, wow, not much discoloration at all. Ivory bar of soap with beautiful Christmas swirls on top!

Just thought I would share, tell me how your batch turns out. Vanessa

Oh thanks for the update vbeck, I have that still sitting on the shelf. I will give it a try. What colorant did you use for your swirl. I can never get a good red color. I have used burgundy oxide, but it always bleeds on me. I haven't mastered the amount of oxides to use ppo yet.

As a side note for MP users and sleigh ride, the white soap does discolor tan-ish as well. I would recommend using the vanilla stabilizer with this scent.
