Soap Challenge 5 Scent Blending

Week 5 of Great Cakes Soapworks challenge. This week was to create your own scent blend using essential or fragrance oils.  We went with our proprietary Rosemary Mint essential oil blend but we tweaked it slightly for this challenge and added our proprietary blend as well.  Like the video we watched, it's a matter of scent preference and trial and error.  We took our usual blend and added scents from the same family and kept sniffing our way through.


It's a lot like cooking, you can give someone the recipe and they'll add all sorts of ingredients you never thought would work and yet it tastes delicious.


Thanks for the challenge Amy, it was a good refresher and motivated us to kick our scent blending skills into high gear, just in time for market season!

Far out and groovy! As an owner of Peacocks I would say you've got that swirl down. Great job. And Rosemary EO? Becoming my new fav.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. We had a lot of fun with this soap and it's 100% natural too so it will be part of our "Purely Natural" line of soaps.
