Trying again - need inspiration

[jcandleattic]

So, since I think I know what I did wrong on the soap I wanted to make last week, I'm going to try again and start it tonight and finish up this weekend. I need some inspiration though...

I need help with what scent to make. The top of the soap is going to be a pinkish red swirl, while the hearts and base of the soap is going to be the solid reddish pink/pinkish red color. So I need to know what scent I should use. I'd like one preferrably that doesn't discolor or accelerate (I know that's asking a lot)

I have a ton of different scents so just about anything you can think of would be great as my mind is drawing a great big blank other than Sweet Pea, but I'd like other suggestions before I use that... LOL

Thanks everyone...

Hey!
Hard to say, cause I don't know what you have... Maybe something fruity?

Trust me, you name it, I probably have it, or some form of it.
I was thinking fruit slices, but I have several soaps in that scent already.

With the pink coloring and hearts, Lovespell comes to mind, it's kinda Tutti Fruiti smelling to me

Hmmm, remind of fruity sorbert, like strawberry or cheese cake scent, strawberry creme pie...

That's the scent I used on my failed batch that I tried to get purple, but it turned grey.. lmao I love that scent, just didn't want to use it again, but I might.

Anything with Strawberry or a vanillin in it will discolor. Can't use that one.
I'll figure something out.

thanks everyone...

Do you have any....ummmmm..... Butt Naked? That's a nice fruity one that behaves well for me. I use Saveonscents SOS concentration.

 

[jcandleattic]

I DO have that one. I've never soaped it though, so I may just have to try it.
Do you think it will discolor? (Can you tell, I'm worried about discoloration? LOL)

don't laugh at this one but...."monkey farts" smells wonderful.

I have that FO too. But for pink, I'm not sure... That's more of a "yellow" type of scent. At least when I smell it that's what I think of since it's so strong with the banana scent.

lick me all over
watermelon
cotton candy
bubble gum
pomegranate
rose
grapefruit

I have watermelon AND Jolly Rancher scent. LOL

I tell you, if I don't have it, I have a form of it.

Yummy

I would vote for Patchouli witha smidgen of peppermint.
A little sage maybe to entwine it together .With some finely chopped rose petals or sage for textureal colour in the darker one.
Best of luck.
:wink:

Red Raspberry champagne

Red Raspberry champagne

Ooohhh, I have raspberry and champagne. Maybe I can mix them. I'll have to check though, not sure my champagne is skin safe. But it does sound good....

Love Spell says "purple" to me - what about Very Sexy? it's oh-so-red in my mind.
Dangit now I wanna make one!


I'd do that or watermelon jolly rancher..

Very Sexy is one I don't have, and actually don't have a description, so I would have to look it up to see if I could make something that might compare.

I *think* I decided on Mango Papaya... I've never soaped it though, so I hope it's well behaved since for what will be the top layer I am only doing a small 1lb batch.
