Oh! What Smells Sooooo Good?

So what has got the Fuzzy Window Critters all a-tizzy lately?

The bears have been nipping at the Amber Wheat Pale Ale soap. 

Made with Foster's Lager and scented with a natural fragrance blend containing among others the essential oils of  Jasmine, Rose and Sandalwood.  The spiciness of the hops and sweetness of the pure wheat  mucilage comes through and mellows it out perfectly.  It doesn't smell like beer and it's a mild, unisex scent.

The Bunnies are having a good time snarfing on the Hunny Bunny soap, named for an inside joke from a nickname of a pal of mine, and I just couldn't resist. This is not a natural scent blend, but it is a great scent.  Smells like a warm, honeyed homemade sugar glaze with a faint hint of rose, mace and caramel.  It's soft, delicate, clean and sweet.  It's a scent women and girls will love. The added carrots and raw honey also lend a sweet depth to the scent that is unexpected. They also give the soap it's soft glowing color.

When in the mood for a little flash backing, I bring out Enigma, which mysteriously hints to 1969 with Peace, Love and Flower Children.  A gender neutral, smoky and seductive scent, it's a natural essential oil fragrance blend of my own creation,  having a backbone of Patchouli and Rosewood, softened with Clary Sage, Lavender and a subtle hint of sweet Amber. I always hear 
Jimmy when I bathe with this one! RIP Jimmy! You are still loved and missed.

And when they need to wake wash up after partying all night, they pick the refreshing Dynamic Duo of the Rosemary Mint Soap.  Not only do they grow well next to each other, their fragrances compliment each other as well.  Colored with our very own organically garden grown, finely ground Rosemary and scented with a natural fragrance blend containing among others the essential oils of Rosemary, Spearmint and Peppermint.  A very good deodorizing and refreshing soap bar.






So, What's in YOUR soap dish?

    Those soaps sound nice. They sure look purdy. So the window critters are getting tanked on the new booze soap. Only you would come up with a bar/saloon scented soap. The critters will be haule into jail for being drunk in public.

      Hey party on!

      Actually, beer soap is nothing new.  Every Soapmaker makes one I think.  And there's a Soapmaker in Scotland who does wine soap. Real wine soap, with wine in place of water. I've tried it, but I'm not quite liking how mine turned out..  The alcohol can make a soap bar soft, and even though I cooked off the booze for like 15 min.,  I guess I didn't cook it off long enough.  1 year later and the soap STILL isn't as hard as my other bars.  Don't ask me why the beer soap turns out  hard and the wine doesn't. The nature of chemistry.

    I think that your beer soap not going hard, might be due to some of the additives that they put in Fosters.
    I thought that you might have called your Enigma soap "Purple Haze". : )

      Hi ya from across the big puddle!

      Actually, the beer soap turned out GREAT!  It's the wine soap that's got me in a snit.   I've got no clue what's fubar'd it, but like you, I'm wondering if the wine additives did it.  I know that wine is acid and I factored that into my alkali  strength.  Later I looked up what is in most wines now adays, and it made my head hurt.  Then I found
      this blog and hit this link and got up to take my asprin.  No wonder drinking wine makes my stomach freak out. Mon Dieu!  

      Enigma soap: When I first created the scent, I didn't know what to call it  and the scent is so mysterious.   Later, did I want to call it Purple Haze, especially after I took my first shower with it. The heat just makes the scent BLOOM!!  It really does give you that "head shop" feeling.  But there is a soap or 6 called Purple Haze already and then there's a certain Brit company having a gift set called that.  And  as the esential oil scent blend is my own creation,  I wanted to keep it mine, if you can get what I mean.  So I used the synonym of mysterious and got Enigma.
