Candybee Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 So I bought this lovely bottle of anise EO to use for CP soap. I was thinking about my charcoal soap and how an anise scented black soap would be really nice.Also, my local health food store has dried anise stars that smell heavenly. Anybody combine the herbs in either an oil or tea infusion to add to their soap?I am also wondering what other scents mix well with anise? Looking for some recipe ideas. Thanks.

ChandlerWicks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I just tried this 2 days ago. I had a teeny tiny bit of anise left, 1/2 ounce MWs Patch, 1/2 Ounce 5X Orange EO in 1LB HP. Up to this point I've been unable to blend any scent well. This mix is awesome!!!!!!! I keep washing my hands over & over, so I can have the scent wafting around.

ChandlerWicks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's still there, but it's only been 2 days. I'm thinking lotions, body butters, etc. I hope you like it as much as I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Oh wonder what some cedarwood, orange, anise and clary sage or rosewood would be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I made soap a few months ago using just anise. My dad used it to mask his scent before hunting. I'm also hearing that fisherman use anise soap, too. I'm also wanting to try it with lavender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I remember reading about a soap that fisherman use to fish with by cutting it up and putting a piece on the hook. Is that anise soap?Me, I just like the smell of it and want a soap with it. Hehe!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well if you did straight up, I wouldn't put a hook in it or any part lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And believe you me, it is a strong soap!!What I've read is that fisherman will wash their hands with it right before baiting. I guess the scent gets on the hook that way and fish are supposed to be attracted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
