Can department store Perfumes be used in HP soap?

[KimberLea]

Has anyone tried using department store cologne or perfume to sent HP soap? I have a friend who has a perfume fettish and would like some soap to go with her favorite scent.

Have a wonderful day,
Kimber

Since I don't know what's in it, I wouldn't use it.

You may be able to find a dupe of that scent at a fragrance oil supplier.

The Fragrance Oil Finder site might help you. http://www.fragranceoilfinder.com/catalog/index.php

Perfumes and colognes typically have perfumer's alcohol as their base and alcohol can cause CP soap to seize but perhaps this wouldn't be a problem in HP; I don't know.

For dupes that are safe to use in soap, I would try save on scents, day star, sweet cakes or the scent works. The fragrance oil finder as already mentioned is also very helpful.

Thanks you all, I will check out the link and suppliers. It is really nice to have a place to come and ask questions.

Have a great day,

You might also do a search for
"designer scents" + "scented oil"
or "fragrance oil" ... there are some
suppliers that offer scented oil in
designer-types ... you might also
wish to search for "designer-types" ...
I know that Wellington Fragrance
offers many designer type scents,
but I don't know if they are many
of the ones in department stores.
I tried their Channel No. 5 and
liked it, as well as Coolwater,
White Linen, Armani, and a few
others. Good luck!
