Darbla Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Probably something with lavender, yes? I either want to find the quintessential perfect French soap and buy it or make it, so I'll happily accept suggestions for either, please.

Sarah S Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I would think lavender and maybe a little rose. I know it's not a French company, but I always thought the soaps from Crabtree and Evelyn smelled like European milled soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaughtyNancy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I'd probably go for a good rose geranium, but that would just be based on all of my grandmothers/stepgrandmothers and older aunts. They all love scents that they describe with words like delicate, elegant, etc and when I made them body butter balms using a rose geranium scent, they all went nuts over it.

Barbara AL Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 TT’s Provence from her Co op and add a little Lavender to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I remember the french milled soaps I used to get had a clean floral scent with a bit of musk for warmth. I am thinking something like EBB's tropical white musk https://www.elementsbathandbody.com/Tropical-White-Musk-Fragrance.html paired with their Tuscan Lace would be awesome and unique. Warm, clean, and sensual. Hmmmmm.... thanks for asking this question. Think next time I will add the musk to my shopping list. I already have the tuscan lace and customers love it.

soshiegirl Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hotel Costes for sure! This scent is one of my favorites and it's also a wonderful hotel in Paris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I am on this kick again, so if anybody wants to discuss the above recommendations or make some more suggestions I can research, please do. What FOs do you think smell like the most expensive soap like you'd find in 5-star hotels that only the rich & infamous can afford to visit? A perfume I was thinking of buying is described as having the best luxury soap scent ever, and I want to examine FOs first. My all-time favorite clean scent was discontinued (D'Lish Clean Sweet Layer, and I think it was Scent Works who had the FO version and we all are still lamenting their exit) so I've just got to get over it and pick something else. Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You would want it to smell like Hermès, Le Labo, Tom Ford, Santa Maria Novella. Those are all luxury bath and fragrance products. Occitane, Fragonard. There should not be any sweet bakery smells. Fresh, herbal, classic floral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The obvious answer would be French Lavender & Honey from Aztec. But I really have no idea what expensive French soap smells like. I just know this is a lovely fragrance in soy candles. https://www.candlemaking.com/french-lavender-honey-bbw-type.html.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saponificarian Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Marigold & Cedar from Wooden Wick. It does discolour though. I have mixed it half and half with Lavender Chamomile from WSP too and people loved it. I need to make it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
