Candybee Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I currently have: Pink grapefruit Lavender, rosemary mint (my own EO blend) Black Canyon (for my dead sea mud salt bars) I need a new one that goes with the pacific ocean theme I have planned for it. If it helps I want to color it ocean colors, aqua blue, pale green, ocean blue. Also thinking of possibly using an additive like kelp? or seaweed? that might go with it. But I need them in a powder form and not sure exactly what is available. Any and all Ideas are welcome! Thanks! BTW - I like Peaks Ocean but find it a bit boring and light in CP soap. It doesn't have to be an ocean, sea, salt, or sea spray type scent. It can be a clean, minty, green, musky, earthy, or whatever type scent you think might make a good salt bar but with a unique scent.

Moonstar Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ive always loved refreshing scents in salt bars. Some that come to mind : Blood orange + bergamot - Lavender peppermint rosemary - Ylang Lavender bergamont citrus + a hint of vanilla - Lemongrass + sweet orange - Tea tree lavender + lemon Not sure how/ if the citrus will will hold up but I sure do love those scents in summer soaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Thanks. Those are good ideas but I already have a lav, rosemary mint and a citrus scent. I've tried ylang ylang & bergamot but those soaps I can't give away plus bergamot fades in CP. So I need more ideas. I do like your idea of refreshing scents thou Moonstar. Can you come up with some more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 LOL ! Thats the thing I don't like about CP soap - citrus doesn't really stick I was think about ordering a scent from Bulk Apothecary to test - it sounds interesting - pink salt + waterlily. Its described as a fresh clean scent. How bout tonic + lime ? or a coconut + lime. I recently bought a salt bar from a farmers market that was awesome - orange + mint. Not sure how the orange stuck so well but it was great how bout cucumber + mint/ ICS has a cactus fo - ive never tried it but i recall it had good reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm liking the cucumber mint idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Salty Sea Air and a citrus, either Satsuma, Sweet Orange or Lemon. Not sure any will work in CP, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nothing says Pacific to my mind like Cactus & Sea Salt. A scent that I am really digging in CP right now is Black Sea from Aztec. The description reads, "An earthy fragrance of Lavender, Ylang, and Honeysuckle mixed with some green notes and musk and an ambergris bottom note." Sticks like glue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 bfroberts - Who carries the cactus & sea salt? I've heard of it before. I will check out the black sea. kandlekrazy - I like salty sea air but its a little too light for what I am looking for. I know this sounds weird but I really don't want a sea, ocean, or salt type fragrance for my salt bars. I already have the pink grapefruit and I love it so I don't need another citrus unless its a blend of something very unique. What kind of scents remind people of California coast and the pacific ocean? I remember I loved the smell of the air at Laguna Beach. It came from a mix of salty air and the summer breeze of the seaside gardens. Wish I could remember what the flowers were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 ICS has a cactus & sea salt. I love it and it sells great for me but I only do candles & melts so no clue how it soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztec, ICS and Just Scent all carry it. I've only used the Aztec and ICS versions. Both perform well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazeKelly Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm my last salt bar I used Be Delicious Blossom from WSP. It was a case of hmmm let's try something different for a salt bar. It smells so good!!! I also thought of Satsuma. But I was kinda bored with it. I haven't found a sea or ocean fragrance that I absolutely love yet. But Blue Lagoon from AH/RE is nice. I've been curious about the cactus and sea salt scents too. I have 5 bags of frozen prickly pear juice in my freezer to use in something.

TallTayl Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Agave or a lime would be nice and refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 For me, I like water/spa type scents for salt bars. Like ocean, rain, mountain mist, a few of my own blends, etc., There are some really good suggestions here too though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I was perusing some suppliers sites and saw this at Maple Street Candle: Cucumber and Sea Salt "one of our freshest smelling fragrances! Clean and cool cucumber, ocean with hints of sea salt" Top Note – Ocean Middle Note – Green Cucumber Bottom Note – Musk Sounds very intriguing....cool, green, and salty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried agave... isn't that basically sugar syrup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Some of my favorites in saltbars Salty Sailor from Daystar Candle supply you can smell the kelp and musky in this one really sticks. Ocean Mist from RE use to come from KY smells like Coast soap to me. Summer Breeze from RE use to be KY's Sea Salt and Lotus Blossom from NG Irish Spring from Tennessee Candle and Soap Supply Redwood Cedar from Tennessee Candle and Soap supply Edited June 30, 2016 by Barbara AL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Lemongrass by itself Lemongrass + coconut Sorry, I don't have exact FOs to recommend. I've just smelled those combos in some commercially made products. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I just used Cucumber Chaos (CC) in melt and pour soap, was very strong, really nice scent, I liked it more that I thought I would.... just another suggestion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 These are some really great ideas. It's still not clear to me what I am going to use. You know how you get this lightbulb moment idea for a new soap or a candle and know just what you want? I am still gathering ideas until it hits me. So any ideas are welcome and I really appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxOnWaxOff Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 So if you have that Dirty scent, what a riot for it to be in a salt bar. You can call it anything, but the scent if terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxOnWaxOff Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Another would be Tonic if you bought any from Tall when she offered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
