What can I mix with Strawberry?

[Feelin' Soapy]

I bought an 8 oz bottle of NS Sugared Strawberry. Truly smells like fresh strawberries OOB. Used it for some soap, and the bars smell really good to me, but the scent is fading fast and (except for one lonely bar) they're just not selling. I've still got most of the bottle. What scents (either FO or EO) do you wise and clever people suggest I might mix it with to liven it up? All I can think of is vanilla.

Champagne

Ditto on the champagne, as well as mint, vanilla, or coconut.

Strawberry shortcake . That would be a neat soapy creation.

I’m haunting some of the other Fragrance sections of websites we all visit and coming up with some possibilities:
1. Rose, Fresh Cut Roses, English Tea Rose
2. Champagne
3. Monkey Farts (strawberry monkey farts would give you a second color for a popular gift soap for kids )
4. Lemon (strawberry lemonade)
5. Green Tea
6. Black Raspberry Vanilla

I’m sure you’ll get lots of other ideas. Just changing the name may help you get more sales. Got to say, though, I could see folks buying monkey farts for boys and strawberry monkey farts for girls!

Great ideas so far. And I've got all those scents here sitting right here. Thank you! Gonna go sniff them together right now.

Funny how I just hit a brain wall with this one. All these ideas sounds delicious! You guys are indeed the best!

Funny you should say that: the one bar I sold was to a little girl who insisted her mom buy that one for her.
I guess maybe it's just not a grownup enough scent for grownups. (Me, I'm always partial to scents that smell like food!)

Monkey farts does smell like a fruit blend and it sticks for me. Several people here rename it and it sells. You could have one with a more traditional name and see how it sells up against monkey farts. I’m guessing adults don’t want to be seen smelling a monkey’s . . .

I hate the name of that FO. I've never bought it because of the name and if I did use it, I would certainly change the name. And I'm not a prude or anything - I just think it's silly.

@JoyfulSudz - can you get rhubarb? ( I can't in NZ) . Strawberry and rhubarb taste great together in a pie, so why not together as fragrances?

 

[Feelin' Soapy]

I agree with you @KiwiMoose about it being a silly name, but it does smell good. It was one of the very first FOs I ever bought. I called it Tropical Fruit because I was sure no one wanted a whiff of Monkey Farts

My usual go-to's don't have any rhubarb, but I'd sure love a piece of that pie right now!

I have mixed another strawberry scent with chocolate and liked it, My husband disliked sugared strawberry from NS, but I haven’t mixed that one chocolate yet, the above suggestions sound good and I may try them too.

Same. I also recently bought “bum bum” FO from WSP. I love the scent, but I call it “coconut berry”.

I'm thinking of strawberry and mango together
