I'm signing up for a booth at the local garlic festival in August. I'd like to bring a "special" soap for the Fest.

This festival is known for it's Garlic Ice Cream. I've had it. It was ok. I don't need to have it again. :?

I'd like some soap that is fun and memorable but totally useable. Not really something that they'll buy once but never try again.

I was kinda thinking some foodie related scent and/or something that will be good odor elimination.

I was even thinking it would be fun to find garlic shaped molds. I've looked but haven't found anything yet.

Any suggestions?

TIA!
 
I have a coffee soap that I use for that. I call it "Kitchen Coffee" I used triple strength coffee, finely ground coffee beans and coffee FO. It's a good soap for some odor absorption but the Coffee FO is only so-so.

I used NG's World's Best Coffee FO. Not even close to being the world's best. Smells more like burned coffee that's been sitting in the pot for a week. =oP

Any other FO's/EO's out there that would be good for absorption? Or at least another Coffee FO that is good?

I've looked at NG's Tomato Leaf Corriander fragrance oil:
"A very unique fragrance composition of sweet green tomato leaves, corriander, galbanum, jasmine, peach, apricot, and base notes of green woods."

Any experiences with that?

Not sure about scents but salt & baking soda are reputed to help, both of which can be added to soap.
 
I made a kitchen soap recently with CandleScience's Basil & Herb. Love it! It is really the garden type scent that I wanted in a kitchen soap, "herby" and refreshing. Basil sort of goes with garlic.
