I need help naming my soap.

[SeldomSeenAcres]

Hi everyone! I've been lurking on this board off and on for a while now. I'm not sure I've ever posted but you've all helped me so much already, just from everyone else's posts.

I made a coffee soap last week using coffee infused goat milk and added a couple tablespoons of grinds at trace. The soap itself doesn't smell like coffee but it is abrasive. I am wondering how you label a soap that doesn't smell like it was supposed too. I don't feel I should call it "Coffee Soap" even though it does have coffee in it. You know what I mean.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
TIA

Does it have a scent other than coffee?

You could call it Scrubbly or Scrubbles. Or Grind House. Ground Round. Grounded. Textured. Buffing. Gritty. Rough.

I did not use any scent at all. I just used the coffee hoping some of the smell would come through... my mistake.

I call my soap with coffee grounds in it "coffee, lavender, orange bar/soap". I think it is perfectly fine to use coffee in the name since the coffee most definitely will stick out as a main feature of the soap. You could call yours "cafe latte" since it has milk in it.
Cheers!

I call mine Mechanic's Soap. The men I know who have dirty jobs seem to go for that. My coffee soap is so gritty it feels like it'll take your skin right off, LOL, but they can't seem to get it gritty enough. The guy who sweeps my chimneys loves it and one of my friends who drives a cement truck even uses it as a shampoo bar to get the cement out of his hair! LOL Just call it something blue collar and it'll be a home run.

You could also call it a foot soap or a kitchen soap or even a peeling soap. LOL

I think it's okay to call it coffee soap, as it is made with coffee. Soaps are often named after things that are in there as well as or instead of the scents, like goats milk

You can call it coffee soap. I make mine as a kitchen soap to remove oders from your hands. I make a pumice soap and an pumice scrub for the machinists and mechanics in my family.
