Maybe I'm weird, but I really like the smell of dill. I paired it with eucalyptus*, and I also included some sandalwood as insurance on having at least one scent I know I like in soap.
bluelilyboutique's Manta swirl pics inspired me to try something similar with my colors and swirl attempt. I used green oxide and activated charcoal for the colors. They didn't turn out as dramatic-looking as bluelily's, but I like the bars a lot.
Here it is in the mold. Ashtastic!
Here are the cut slices. I went a little picture crazy:

The scent is exactly what I was going for. The look is what I was going for. This is my favorite soap of mine so far!
*The reason for the dill/eucalyptus scent combination is because my boyfriend has a box of junk that smells like dill and eucalyptus. I don't know what all is in that old box, but I love deeply inhaling the scent of its contents whenever I come across it. MMMmmmmmm...
