Hi all,
(this is my first post- apologies for any mistakes!)
How do you scent your confetti soap?
I’ve made ten or so batches of soap, and I’m hooked! I’ve saved my beveled edges, and I’ve cut up some soaps that are safe to use/smell good but were cut too small/unevenly to give away.
I’d like to make confetti soap. I’m curious how other folks use fragrance in confetti soaps. How do you decide how to scent your confetti soap?
-do you leave the “base” soap unscented and just let the ‘confetti’ pieces scent the soap?
-do you select the “confetti” strategically so the fragrances will go together? Or do you just throw the extra pieces in the mold and see (and smell) how it turns out?
-do you add the same fragrance to the “base” soap that you add to the confetti pieces?
-or do you add fragrance that’s different than the “confetti,” but works with the scent, to create something new?
(note-when I say “base” here, I don’t mean like a melt-and-pour soap base. I mean the extra soap you add your “confetti” to.)
I think I’m going to add more fragrance to my confetti soap and try to match it with the scents in the confetti pieces.So I don’t think I’ll mimic the confetti exactly, but make something new that “makes sense.” (Or, makes “scents!”)
I’m going to play around with it, but I wanted to hear what other folks do too. So again, I ask:
