CBE Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Scented using Pumpkin Patch-ouli from JS, with added canned pumpkin (2 oz. for 2.5 lbs). I also used amber resin infused Apricot Kernel Oil in this batch. The fragrance has really mellowed out this morning... I detect the spice notes, but not much. It smells like a very earthy pumpkin. I didn't know pumpkin and patchouli would make a great couple!! And the amber notes from the infused oil have come through a bit too (I am VERY surprised about that!!)My pitiful attempt to add soap chunks... I didn't have enough chunks!! lol You can see a chunk here and there in the soaps. LOL I'm soooo ready to do a BIGGER batch of this. Because this batch is MINE. ALL MINE. (and I'm really not a patch fan... but I don't hate it either.) Oh I can't wait for Fall. Thanks for looking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaArial Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 You already know i wasnt a sample of these. I like the way they look... especialy the second, with the chunks. Really good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang scratch 'n sniff isn't working again though lol.Yep, this is the natural coloring. It is starting to darken somewhat, but not much. It still has an orange cast to it. Last night I cut all the white tops off the rest of the bars.... it just wasn't workin' for me at all! Now they all look plain jane like the top pic.

marrwilliams Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 They look great! I would have never thought of that scent combo but it sounds delish! Of course I love pumpkin and patch and amber. Thanks for sharing - I'll have to make a sniffie of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I use patch combos a lot so I think it sounds yummy! Your soap looks so nice. Wish I could smell it. I bet I would love, love, love it!!The patches give it a creamy top like pumpkin with a dollop of whipped cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The second one looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Too bad you cut the white off, I really liked it. I thought it was cute. I like the brown too though. So the Pumkin Patch FO has patchouli in it? That sounds like an interesting combo. I never would have thought to mix all of those scents. I wish I could smell it.

Denise2456 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Both of them look good but I am really over the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
