Scent Cellar Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Has anyone a suggestion on a good ginger scent? I don't know what ginger smells like so give me a good description of it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Go to the grocery store and break a tiny piece off of a ginger root. It is very very strong but I love it. I have purchased 4 different ginger FO's that the suppliers told me were strong and dead on for ginger. All of them were terrible and none of them smelled like ginger.Good luck.

soycrazy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ginger eo is wonderful in soap, it's pricey, but worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquiO Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Just a suggestion. You can infuse ginger root in hot water and use the chilled ginger tea as your liquid. Ginger tea is very aromatic and may be a nice alternate to using the pricey EO. I've also powdered ginger as an soap additive and the ginger scent comes through nicely.

I'll have to try that.I love ginger. I had a B&BW ginger body wash that I loved. I put it in a pump and used it as a hand soap in the kitchen. It smelled so strong of ginger and I've been unable to find anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecandlespastore Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I will have to try this too. I have a ginger souffle from Tony's that I like a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I used to get some little bath oil ball thingys from Body Shop, years ago now, with a gorgeous blend of ginger, black pepper & a couple of other e.o's( I think it had some patchouli in it too) I wish I could remember cos it was heavenly...I think it was called a warming blend which ginger & black pepper e.o's are good for.Must have a bash with a gingery soap for winter time.Sally.

Scent Cellar Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I just ordered some giner e/o and alot of other essential oils from WSP as they are offering free shipping on the oils. Can't beat that offer. I am working on changing from fragrance oils to essential oils for my CP soaps so I took advantage of the special.
