Scented Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 OK being the lucky recipient of a coupon at Southern Soapers, what are some must haves? Surely we have some SS fans here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Chic Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Chocolate Serendipities is to die for in wax, very strong throw, pure chocolate bliss.Bourbon Vanilla is a fantastic oil, also a very strong throw in wax, a beautiful french vanilla type scent. Excellent on it's own and also makes a great blender.Lime Margarita is fantastic in CP. I have soap in this scent that is still going and it's about a year old now.Bossa Nova, I bought a bottle of this last week but haven't done anything with it yet. I've read rave reviews about this scent in CP.Coeur D'Amour (Heart of Love), very sensual-this would make a great Valentines anything. Her descriptions are right on and each scent will tell you if it throws strong in soy. Great customer service, great oils, and I always love going to the site to see what she's added. Good luck choosing, no easy feat for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Ditto, Chocolate Serendipities...... Tropic of Cancer is a lovely floral blend. Not a huge floral lover, but this one is a keeper. Awesome throw in soy and killer in soap.White Rose Bergamot was a surprise for me. Rose scents usually leave me retching but this one is the exception. Excellent in soy and soap.Provence Aire is a must for any herbal lovers. Again, a soy and soap winner! Iced Gingerbread is perfectly yummy! I'm a Peaks Gingerbread fan, myself, but this one was tempting enough to pour up for my own use and as with all the others I'ved tried, it wasn't a disappointment. Customer service is excellent and as Groovy Chic noted, choosing from their wonderful selection is no easy task. I'm working over another list as we speak .Rena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kymber Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sandalwood Amber is TDF and soaps like a dream! I also am in love with the Sweet Pea and Rhubarb (ordered a 16oz bottle yesterday)....it also soaps like a dream! I have several here that I need to soap but haven't yet. If possible I would hold off ordering until you get your box of goodies from the swap and sniff a few of them! I just got Carrie's box today and the lemongrass & sage is awesome (yes I sniffed...LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you don't agree with me you know you can always send it my way! It does discolor in soap and my next batch I am going to remember to add the BCN Vanilla Stabalizer to it and see how it does.....I can still see my amber swirl in my bars...but barely! Scent holds very well in the CP process. To me it is a very sensual scent...earthy and sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh let me know if you do it soon with the stabilizer (if that doesn't sound a bit wrong lol) ... I'd be interested to know. Scent won't get here for a week (usually.) It's coming with patch amber and some others I decided not to say no to this week lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
