Mostly Lurkin Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 This is a special request soap of one of my customers. Personally, not at all my style - though think I would love to have the plant!! Despite it being a floral, I took special care and it didn't move on me. So that was a relief. I normally avoid florals cuz #1 - they don't behave, lol & #2 - I really don't care for them... This is a strong FO - I normally do .5 pp - I could have gone 1/2 of that I think and still had a good scent (hoping it cures out some, lol).This is scented in Wisteria Blossoms from Fragrance Oil Heaven. The soap is Olive Oil (and 2% Stearic Acid). Colorants by Select Shades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapncandlecrazy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I love the swirls. Seeing all these beautiful soaps is making want to try it. I used to have a wisteria and it smelled heavenly when it bloomed but it was so invasive. I choked out 2 rose of sharon bushes and sent underground runners out for atleast 20 ft. I finally had to get rid of it but I still have runners poppinp up is some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Oh do tell! I have stuck that FO in candles. I agree, mighty, mighty strong, but I do love it. Did it morph at all in the soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Lurkin Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Shocklingly enough to me, it didn't. I have had more floral nightmares than I'll ever admit in public, lol. This FO behaved very well. the scent is STRONG, though is mellowing out a wee lil bit (meaning I don't get slapped in the face with the scent as soon as I walk into the room it's curing...)I made 5 pounds, I'm hoping not to have to make anymore for awhile, lol - to me it smells like great-great grandma heading out for a day...Oh do tell!
