Hi Megh,

Welcome!

What scents did you use in your batches? I'll wish you good luck since you asked but I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hi Hazel, Im have been using some FOs, EOs that i got from gracefruit.com
Recently made a nice honey soap , scented with some honey FO , sweet toffee FO, gardenia . came out really well. Also made a lovely rose one with Rose Water, English Rose FO, Dried Rose Petals.

Those do sound lovely especially the rose one. If you can get around to it, I'd love to see pics of your soaps.

You need to be cautious about some EOs in soap since some have a tendency to fade. There have been several discussions about anchoring EOs in soap. I apologize if you already know this info or may have already seen these discussions. But if not, here are the links.
