Thanks - I've actually tried almost every single one of their fragrances with the exception of about 5 of them, and Twilight Woods was one I haven't.
Since I live within 10-15 miles of them, it's pretty easy to just order and pick up and it's not necessarily a good thing! (meaning I go overboard since I don't have to pay shipping!) LOL Of course I haven't done that in about 2 years, and I think they have moved again since last I was there, so I'll have to figure out where they are now! LOL
You didn't like the strawberry-rhubarb? I really liked it.
But I've liked just about everything I've tried from them! LOL

Some of the ones I haven't tried are -
TW
Coconut Lime Verbena (and yeah, I do like limey so that's okay)
Grapefruit
Iced Lemon Danish
Juicy Pineapple
Orange Chiffon Cake

Those are the only ones I could find that I wanted to try that I hadn't for the sampler sale...
I'm sure I'll find some more, but for now, that's all I could find. LOL

Okay, so here are the ones I actually ordered -
I'll let you guys know what I think once I get them in something -

Twilight Woods
Grapefruit
Coconut Lime Verbena
Iced Lemon Danish
Orange Chiffon Cake
Passion Fruit & Guava (I think I may already have a sample of this but can't remember)
Pink Sugar (Haven't tried Peaks yet)
Juicy Pineapple
Orange Blossom
&
Raspberry Truffle

We'll see...

Hey carelife,
thanks for the response. FOr some reason, my wild mountain honey didn't turn medium tan, it turned more like a dirt brown on half and since I'd colored the other half, that was yet another color. Or maybe vice versa. It's hard to tell which was which as I used a yellow mica for one half of the soap. However, it smells great- very wonderful honey smell and one of my friends snatched one of those bars up right away because of the scent. DIdn't care about the looks. Maybe I should felt the rest of my bars and then see if people will take them more readily!

WIthout a doubt, it is a delicious scent.

Newbie, my wild mountain honey did also..try the vanilla stabilizer by Wholesale supplies plus...definately better...also add some titanium, which I didn't have so mine is a yellow instead of brown.

newbie...that's a great idea, the felting! I've been wanting to try that...please post about it!!
I've only been making soap since last August, so I'm a total noob, LOL! I haven't tried to add color yet...just letting it do it's thing. I LOVE this FO...my uncle had an apiary (here in the deep south) when I was a kid, and this FO smells just like his honey!!

Funny you guys should mention felting..I found an add on Craigslist here, a women is selling alot of wool roving pretty inexpensively. I'm trying to meet up with her or I'll pay her to ship it to me because I'd like to try felting.
This is what she has:
If the Mauch Chuncky big balls are 4oz like the other skeins, then I have 4.5 lbs in assorted earth tones,white, yellows,oranges, greens, blues and and purples. I also have 3 lbs in 1/2 lb skeins, and an assortment pack of 20 colors (8oz total). That brings us to about 8pounds total weight. Plus the needle felting tool and brush, if you want them. Everything is soft, it's barely been handled. I know how it can get handled, but this is still in excellent condition.
No idea what this all means except I'm going to be felting some of my uglies...they smell wonderful but are less than appealing.
