I cut my soap today, scented with rosemary/basil/lemongrass essential oils. Both Mrs. Zing and I had the same reaction -- the scent doesn't go with the colors. Is that weird?

It's very pretty. What kind of fragrance do you think it should have been?

I love the colors. But I get it...I always try and match the colors to the scent. Im sure most people don’t worry so much about that though. This one to me screams Black Raspberry Vanilla.

This one to me screams Black Raspberry Vanilla.

I can almost hear the screams....

I think the pretty swirls on top match the fragrance. The pink, hmmm not so much. But now you can name the soap “Cognitive Dissonance” which is a fun way to use big words that we normally have no excuse to trot out.

I always try to match my fragrance with the color lol. I think the swirl colors match. If you sell, i dont think your buyers are gonna think it doesnt match.

it is very pretty. I love the swirl

No selling here, just a hobbyist who forces lots o' soap onto friends and family.

Beautiful! I agree raspberry fragrance, or chocolate and strawberry, lol! In any case, it is a very lovely soap

I like them. I'm another one who has to match the colors and fragrance. Earlier this year I did soaps for a bridal shower and almost had a nervous breakdown. She picked 3 fragrances. Love Spell, Raspberry Lemonade and Apricot. The colors were Love Spell (pink & white), Raspberry Lemonade (purple & white), Apricot (pink and green). It killed me. LOL

That Raspberry Lemonade would have done me in lol PURPLE!

I did a little experiment where I would tell someone who is testing a soap what the fragrance is before they smelled it. Fifty percent of the time, they would say "yeah it does smell like that" or they would say "yeah I smell that plus blah" so I don't even worry about matching the scent with the colors that much. If I can do it I will but it isn't important to me.

If someone gives me a sweet, handmade soap for free with a cool essential oil blend that, yeah, doesn't match the 'look' of the soap, I'm getting over the cognitive dissonance real fast and taking a nice, long shower!

Just saying...

I certainly see what you're saying though. But then, I wonder, if you don't tell them what you scented it with, if they'll just go ahead and smell those black raspberries anyway.

I smell rosemary, lemongrass and basil Mr. Zing
