It took me a while to get inspiration for this soap. I had several ideas but none of them felt to be just the right one for this particular design. I went through my fragrances and nothing really caught my attention apart from Seaweed and Juniper FO. I haven´t used it so far, it has this kind of air-freshner like scent and I think it would be challenging to create a nice blend with it. So again no idea.
Walking, looking, feeling....finally an idea came to my mind.
I mixed the shades using oxides and micas, used my standard colouring-and-swirling recipe. And used the Seaweed and Juniper FO, a blend with Yellow Mandarin EO, Lavender, Cucumber FO and Cedarwood EO. I am really pleased with the result, the soap looks almost the same like in my mind and I like the scent as well, it´s very nice on skin after washing.
Fresh marine scent with a soft touch of Mandarin and Lavender, and an anchor of earthy Cedarwood. Creamy soap with buttermilk and pink clay.
Looking forward to seeing all the other soaps, I have already seen some of them...beauty. Thanks Amy!

Beautiful soaps! And the ash on the top makes the soaps look even more interesting. When I red how you described the scent mixture, it was like I wanted to smell the air if I could catch some of that scent :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think the same about the ash, I get ash a lot as I like butters, esp. with shea butter - but in this soap I think it really adds to the look.
DeleteBeautiful soap. It sounds like the scent suits the colours perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome swirls!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I aimed for a little more distinct swirls but did not want to use TiO2 this time (I don´t like its feel and prefer to go without it when possible) + my soap moved quite fast but anyway I like the decent swirl as well.
DeleteSounds like a lovely blend - I would love to get a whiff! Swirls are gorgeous as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
DeleteBeautiful! The colors and look match your fragrance blend!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to smell your soap! Very nice color choices for the swirls.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am also pleased with the colours - they came out exactly as I intended.
