Neem Soap

[Marilyn Norgart]

I made a batch for personal use (dam that stuff stinks). I scented it with patchouli, orange and lemon. I just took a bath with it and I cant stop sniffing myself (is that weird?) the orange and lemon came thru while I was washing but now that I am done all I smell is the patchouli.

So do you like it or not like it?

I like the scent but am holding judgement on the soap until I use it a couple times

Listen, if you don't smell the neem, you're ahead of the game!! ;-)

Lol @MGM

What I noticed about the neem smell is that out of the bottle and while HPing, so it's heated up a lot, that weird garlicky smell is quite strong. As it cures that particular note goes away and only an earthy kind of smell is left. That one I don't mind at all. And it does go well with patchouli. Cooked neem smell is bad lol

I scented an HP soap with Neem with Oatmeal Milk and Honey scent and could not smell the neem at all. I made paw balm with it too and no neem smell

I used the powder--I didn't smell garlic though. and the smell did fade but I can still smell it somewhat but the patchouli is something I like--takes me back to my teenage years

A friend of mine asked me to make it. its balm for a dogs paws so in the winter when you take them for a walk there is a barrier to keep the road salt from irritating their paws. its made out of Beeswax and some oils.
I can smell Neem out of the bottle, but I noticed that Oatmeal Milk and Honey scent covered it well

I did not notice any distinct smell from the powder I have. Just smells herbally... Like how other plant powders without the distinctive smell are like (not basil, rosemary, etc.)

But then again, they are different things. What I have is neem seed oil, and the rest of the plant is in the powder.
