no one can be too rich, too thin or have to many fragrance oils!

I got my Mulberry from Heaven Scent and I love it! It's strong and unique. I can't wait to soap with it.

A couple of days ago, I took a gallon jug dumped the FOs that I didn't like into it. I also dumped the 1 oz samples that aren't big enough for a batch. I sniffed the brew and got a evil look in my eye as I added a 8 oz bottle of bergamot essential oil. I had some lavender spike oil, peppermint oil and a bit of anise oil I tossed in as well. I let it brew for a couple of days and used some of it in soap today. Know what it smells like? Soap! I kid you not. It has an indescribable odor that is clean, flowery, but not too flowery and smells just like soap.

Cool! I'm going to be blending some of my so-so's together for some sort of creation too! I just got some grapefruit that I'm going to blend with honeysuckle. Probably 75% GF to 25% honeysuckle. They smell great on their own, but I got a sniffy of this and thought I could create my own.

I went to B&BW yesterday to scope out their fragrances. Haven't been there forever since their stuff gives me a headache. It's chaos in there! Too much stuff.

Anyway, I smelled almost everything and the only scents I truly fell in love with were warm vanilla sugar and black raspberry vanilla (the cuddlers ) . I almost bought some stuff, but held back. Also liked the coconut lime verbena too.

Has anyone soaped a dupe with either of these FOs and if so do they smell like the real thing?

i have bought a MP soap that had the coconut lime verbena in it and loved it. my friend bought the lotion bar with the scent. i was thinking of ordering it today but wondered if i should wait until next spring or if people would like it all year round. it smells really good and fresh!
