Amyris and Patch bars

[chicklet]

I used mostly amyris EO but all I can smell is the patch. :/ I did a faux funnel pour and then swirled with a skewer.

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty. I love your swirls.

Pretty soap!

I thought Amyris is a substitute for patchouli.....supposed to smell like it and you can use it if you can't afford patch.

Amyris is considered a "substitute" for Sandalwood (not Patchouli) and is sometimes called West Indian Sandalwood or Poor Man's Sandalwood, and while not exactly a dupe, it does have similar qualities, but is more "smoky" to my nose.

Love your soap! It looks blue or black which is it?

Looks to me like both blue and black swirled in white. Lovely!

Very nice soaps. There are some great sandalwood f.o.s out there also.

Thanks, y'all. My photography is terrible! Yes, it's blue, black, and white - equal amounts of each. My mold is almost 6 pounds (it's an odd size because in its previous life it was a drawer!) and I used 1 tsp ultramarine blue in that portion, 1 tbs charcoal for the black, and 1 tbs TD in the white. I have a love/hate thing going with TD. I am never sure how much to use and I don't know if what I have is water or oil soluble.

Your swirl almost looks like tie dye, very cool!

I think your colors and strong swirls are perfect for that fragrance.
