Perfect coffee fragrance and bar

[Epicsoap]

hey guys,
So I am talking with a local cafe about creating a soap that represents their brand so I created this last week as my first prototype.
I don't currently have any coffee fragrances , the one pictured just used an oatmeal fragrance so this is what I wanted to ask about. How do I best represent a high quality through fragrances? I want it to be rich but not overly sweet or over the top gimmicky.
Also any tips on improving the bar, this one pictured has used grounds from the cafe. I am happy with it as I can push the charcoal and the coffee exfoliant in my marketing.

Soap Queen has a good tutorial on coffee soap... here's a link:

Remember, one of the benefits of coffee soap is its ability to remove cooking odors, like fish, onion and garlic, from the hands. Good luck!

If you want a coffee fragrance, I'd recommend Bramble Berry's Espresso. It does discolor to a dark brown, so you would probably only want to use it for part of the batter. It's strong, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Does the cafe have a signature blend? If not, maybe just do a coffee and cream soap with some of the batter left unscented and a creamy white color. Your swirls are pretty - good luck to you!

I absolutely love café Cubano from Indiana candle supply, but it will get VERY dark brown. No swirls.

Your soap is beautiful, and EPIC!

You probably need to order different coffee FOs and make testers soaps for the company to smell, see which they like better.

I agree. I've only used SOS coffee scents and the best one that stuck for a while may not sit will with coffee aficionados (It's Arabic Coffee and the scent is very strong and sweet OOB but mellows out during cure).

Beautiful soap! Following for the best coffee scent

I know BB's espresso cures out with a lot of chocolate notes. It's pleasant, but not what I wanted for my biggest coffee fan. Could be stronger, but not bad.
WSP's coffee beans has quickly faded into almost nothing.

I made some "latte" soap w/BBs Espresso FO and really like it. I think it has more of a hazelnut coffee scent. I colored and scented the bottom half, but not the white top. The bottoms are starting to turn a darker brown, but that's fine...it's coffee!

Looks the goods!
