Jcandleattic Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 So, if I were to say to you "Dante's Inferno" giving away nothing else, what would be the first thing that comes to mind as far as scent, color, product? I want to make something named that and I have a vague idea of what I want to do, but thought it would be fun to see what everyone's imagination conjures up... AND GO! - (haha TT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponiebr Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Let's see here...How about an eternally dimmed desecrated abyss filled by smoldering oranges, rusts, fetid browns, putrid ochers, charred sienna, umber, and bilious greenish-yellow-grays. A soul ending silence that stills even the inanimate stones from their inexorable march through time evokes malice, unrest, and absolute despair amidst a dense atmosphere thick with sulfurous acrid sooty fumes, swampy miasma, sewage, and biting flies... Here souls are vanquished from the very hope and sight of God, but they SWEAR they're gonna start building a new facility for us soon... I'll believe it when I see it.

Jcandleattic Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 HAHA I forgot about this post and never did do what I was going to do, so I put it on the list. I think I'm going to make a pitch black soap with a blood red swirl, scented with a mix of Dragon's Blood and Smoke n' Mirrors (it's a lot like Cracklin' Birch) - and call it Dante's Inferno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 That couldn't be a better selection than what you just said.....that is sooooo perfect! Trappeur PS: Who is Dante? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, but am not 100% sure about this, as I've never read the book, seen the play, or anything, but I think, Dante represents the Devil, and the Inferno are the 7 levels of Hell.

Candybee Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) FB has a fragrance called Hellstone: http://www.fragrancebuddy.com/CUMIN-BATH-COMPARE-TO-HELLSTONE-FRAGRANCE.aspx Well, its actually called cumin bath but its a dupe of Lush' Hellstone. It may sound weird but do you remember MW's autumn embers, a smoky spice campfire type scent, it was totally awesome in CP soap. don't know why but some FOs you'd never think work in CP are perfect for it. Could be worth a sample test just to see. Edited March 5, 2018 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a sample test just to see. I appreciate the suggestion, however, I need to try get rid of some of these fragrances I already have, which is why I love blending so much. I usually have an idea of what it 'could' smell like, and I just think these 2 scents together would be a good combo. I agree, some scents you'd never think would work together end up being the best.

That sounds nice! definitely needs a bit of smoke. A little earthy might be neat, like a patchouli. Someone brought me a sample of dragons blood and cinnamon. It was surprisingly good.

Sarah S Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That sounds amazing! The Smoke & Mirrors would definitely add some great depth to the DB! I love DB personally, but it can be a little too sweet sometimes. @TallTayl, that sounds like a fantastic blend too! I mixed my DB with Flaming's Chai and I love the way that smells! The design sounds cool too, JC, are you going to use charcoal for the black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That sounds really good. I make my dragon's blood black with a red swirl. It certainly draw attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way the charcoal doesn't grey on me, and the oxide doesn't stain wash clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and for my galaxy soap I did last year, I mixed DB with Moonlight Path and that was good. Honestly I think DB can pair with just about anything and be good.

I've never made it with black or red. I've done pink in soap, and my galaxy soap was black blue and purple(ish) and I've done purple in candles. This will be an adventure and I can't wait to put it into play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Do you think DB would mix well with Witches Brew? Am looking for a good mixer to enhance WB. I can't use it full strength in soap so I need to mix it with something to keep it at a body safe % yet strong enough to hold up in CP.

I can't use it full strength in soap so I need to mix it with something to keep it at a body safe % yet strong enough to hold up in CP. What does witches brew smell like? If I remember right it's like a woodsy apple scent? (or am I totally off? I've never used it so no idea) Give me some notes, and I'll use my imagination to see if it would pair well. If it is as I described above I believe it would go well. However, just keep in mind I have hated every DB I've ever tried until I tried Mad Oils/Mad Micas DB - and I think that's because it's got that sweet powdery scent to it that most people hate about it. - the soap I sent you was with the MO/MM DB if you can remember it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I remember the soap. Loved it and the scent! Witches Brew is a dark patchouli mixed with cinnamon spice and cedar. It's strong, and earthy. I get mine from C&S http://www.candlesandsupplies.net/16-oz-Witchs-Brew-Scent?sc=13&category=322196 I forgot about their Zombie Punch. That might be a good mixer too.... if its body safe. Need to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yes! it is. It's also known as Tropical Punch. I think a sweet fruity fragrance would mix nicely with WB and Zombie Punch has a uniquie fruity signature scent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to check. Zombie Punch IS soap/body safe. I've used it in soap. Fades on the surface but comes alive in the shower/bath. LOVE that scent. I would say both Witches Brew and Zombie Punch would pair well with DB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
