The sage & citrus, and hazelnut cappucino I have gotten before and love... The rest I'm crossing my fingers on, and I hope I can figure out how to mix the scents without overkilling anything. My husband wanted the patchouli.. while I wait for the scents to get here I'm gonna try to find a nice manly soap recipe for him :lol:
 
You did good :) I only sniffed some of the FOs on your list

Caribbean Coconut Fragrance Oil - this one is nice, good in soap too
Nag Champa Fragrance Oil - I didn't like it as much oob (too strong) but it's really nice once cured in soap :)
Chocolate Type Fragrance Oil - it's really yummy in scrubs & body butter!!

Please post reveiws once you get the order!!
I'm curious about the patchouli FO :D
 
They arrived today. I already made a batch.

The patchouli smells great, it leaves a light lingering scent. Three people besides me have smelled it, and they all had the same reaction - smiled and said 'oooh, that's nice - is that patchouli?' (I hid the names on all)

The almond fo about choked me when I smelled it, very strong and sweet.

The coconut smelled great, will likely smell great mixed with others or on their own.

Victorian rose smells like all rose scents. I would love to find a rose scent that smells like the actual flower (the body shop's line smells great, would love to find their type)

They all smelled great, really. No sense running thru each one. The batch I have gelling is almond and chocolate. Twice as much chocolate than almond cuz the almond is just so strong. Swirled with cocoa powder.. can't wait to cut it.

I definately did a good job, they all smell wonderful.
 
Yeah, it smells good enough to drink..

The batch I made earlier tho - I think I'm learning what people are talking about when they mention vanilla fo turning soap brown. What started as a nice tan soap with dark brown swirl has now become a giant black blob... oh well, I learned. I'm actually trying to stay awake another hour or so until the gel reaches the edges, then cool it off til morning, just in case going to bed with it still insulating is another bad idea. I wonder what it's gonna look like....

ETA: Oh and while I was waiting... I went ahead and spent another $150 at WSP.... This is becoming an expensive habit lol.. Oh well, Christmas is just about covered - everyone is getting soap :lol:

BB has a non-discoloring Vanilla FO. I tried it & it works - no discoloring!
