Teach Soap

Moonlight Pomegranate is my favorite straight up, lol.

You can't go wrong with Energy. I love it.

What about some of the "clean" type scents. I just soaped Bonsai and also Bamboo, both were great, ozone plus some green notes in each. I also just did a soap yesterday. I got a bottle of Fragrance oil when I ordered a grab bag from Brambleberry at the end of February, it smells close to China Rain, but a little lighter. I have Ocean Rain and it's definately not that one. I wish I knew what is was, right now I have a label on the bottle saying "clean". I also made some salt bars with it about a month ago. Coconut Lime Verbena is another really good summer scent, soaps really well, too.

Bamboo is about a month cured and it still smells nice and strong. Bonsai I only did earlier this week, so far, so good.

Thanks, bayougirl!

My all time fav right now is Bamboo Sugarcane, which is sweeter than regular Bamboo. I don't know why but I can't stop smelling it. I do use Apricot Freesia but it is very light. It gets stronger in hot water, though. Lemongrass is also a fav, as is Rosemary Mint and Peppermint. You can also not go wrong with Gingerfish and/or Champagne during the summer. For some reason, I gravitate more towards EOs in the summer too, like pure Rosemary and such. And of course, ditto everyone's comment about Energy. That may be the #1 scent of all time.

I always seems to make florals in spring (Gardenia, Honeysuckle) too and no one likes them, not even me. So I go more clean or fruity than floral, but that is just my personal choice.

I was wondering how does BB's Moonlight Pomegranate behave in CP, I've been using another suppliers Pomegranate and it smells great but it's a nightmare to soap with!

Moonlight Pomegranate behaves well in CP.

I soap alittle below 110 degrees. I think the last time i soaped with moonlight pom my oils were @ 106 & lye was @ 108, I think. But I have no problem at all with BB Moonlight Pom

Moonlight Pom even makes it thru a botched batch of HP soap and still manages to smell lovely!~ My first batch, that's how I know~! LOL
