8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have Scent Works ..Tonic,.. and DayStar's.. Salty Sailor...Either my nose is really off tonight, or these smell the same to me..They are so close I have even put them on my hand and I can't really tell the difference..

CareBear Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have both in front of me now and OOB - way different but both have this "ozone" thing goingI haven't soaped the Salty Sailor though - I'm doing salt bars with it this weekend and I'll let you know. Gee if they ARE close then won't have to deal with what I read is a challenging FO (the SS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've soaped the tonic and never picked up a saltiness in it. Can't compare the two. Her driftwood burned my nose out forever lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've got a batch of Tonic on the curing rack now that's been there @ 3 wks. I don't have the best nose, but I'm not picking up any saltiness at all with this one. Never smelled the SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 To me they are so close to the same..I will choose which I like the best, once they have cured.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara AL Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If I am not mistake Salty Sailor used to Be Salty Mariner I think Soapfreak told me this fragrance accelerates fast.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 It does... I was warned, so I was ready..But It is still quick enough, I don't know if itis a FO I want to do again.It does smell good, but I have other Scentsthat I like just as well, and are much easier to work with..OHHH..I hope my Tonic survives..Well it is made, so I will see how long the scent lasts. I used 1 1/2 oz per lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My tonic held up 2 years at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I will have to say..that so far, after soaping...I am liking the Tonic the best..Even though they are so simular...OOBThe after smell of soaping of them is quite different...

MarieJeanette Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I've soaped Salty Sailor, and yes, it is the same exact fragrance oil as Salty Mariner. It moves fast, but it's always quite manageable for me, even at 120 degressF and a 33% lye solution. MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 and it's delightful in lotions and body butters too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 I had to go an smell it today..and it even smells better today..:smiley2: I know Carebear...I need to try to make body products...I just don't have the things on hand..and really don't have all the extra money to buy it all right now....The first thing I need to do is get my brain in gear and figure out how to make them, and find some good recipes..With the economy the way it is, I am afraid to buy anything I don't have to have right now..:lipsrseal My husband is a General Contractor, and he is already working out of town, just to find work...

Fire and Ice Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I LOVE the Tonic in my soaps! I made a two pound batch and it was very strong at 1oz per pound! I want to get a pound of it and I want to get the SS and try that. I know to be ready for it to move quickly, even with a water discount but I will not use a stick blender either when I do it.

Angel91805 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We had scent. How much did you use?I used 2 1/2 oz in a 2 1/2 pound batch..or 1 ounce per pound. The scent cured away to almost nothing. :rolleyes2 I only purchased 4 oz to try....so now I don't have enough to try 1 1/2 oz per pound like Ruth did.
