I met another soap maker at a show this past weekend, and passed along the Q-Tip hint for testing fragrance blends.
It was so cute - her mouth fell open, her eyes got big, and she kind of gasped, "That's a great idea! Thank you so much!"
I told her it wasn't my idea originally, that I'd picked it up from another soap maker that I knew of.
She said, "Well, tell her thanks!"
So, thanks for the idea, Irena!

(I have several bags of fragrance-soaked Q-Tips on my table right now. I have blends I wasn't sure if I would like a 2/1 or a 3/1 ratio, so I'm trying both!)
