Scent recommendations for soap

[Dumfrey]

Hello Hello.
I have a nice lard/coconut/palm/olive recipe that has worked well for me in HP and now CP.
(Thanks to information from this great forum).

But, with Christmas around the corner, I would like to up my game and include some scent in the batter.
I am fine using FO or EO....but there are soooooooooo many options.

Can someone please recommend some natural smelling scents of the juniper/cedar/pine/evergreen style?
I am looking for something that smells like a North West (United states) forest.

Thank you all.

My absolute favorite pine/evergreen scent (and actually probably my favorite scent ever...year round) is WSP's Christmas Wreath...and this is from someone who hates traditional "pine" scents.

Thank you! Just checked their website, and looks nice. I will give this one a try.

If you have any kids on your list, I made soap with Nature's Garden "Fruity Rings" - it smells just like fuit loops and my kids love it. I made some for my nephews for Christmas

This is my favorite pine. It doesn't smell like a fake Christmas tree and blends well too. I particularly like it mixed 50/50 with a peppermint FO from the same company.

I'm currently loving Brambleberry's "Bramblerry Fragrance Oil". It's a berry scent but not sugar sweet, it that makes sense. It's just delectable.

More of a natural berry instead of a dessert? That sounds like a good option as well.

Thank you!

One of my favorite scents is Nature's Garden Vanilla Champagne. My grandkids love Bubble Luscious. I also really like Red Clover Tea from Symphony Scents.

With only 27 days until Christmas you should have made the Christmas scented soap yesterday, unless you are using this at a later date.

You could put a lil note on your gifts saying to wait 2 weeks before using. No big deal!

Yes! Smells much more like actual berries and not a random pie. It's very subtlety earthy without being crunchy and just really smells of berries. And it hangs out so very well after curing.

In my family, Christmas gifts arrive between the 25th and April

So, with shipping, some cure time will still have to happen on the way and while sitting on shelves at family. I am doing 8 bars for each member in a scent that I think they will like.
