LovelyLathers Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am hoping to make a few sandalwood blends. I love Sandalwood Rose and Sandalwood Vanilla. Anyone have any sandalwood blend suggestions for me to try? I also am starting my fall line but don't know what to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestagano04 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Right now I'm using a bar scented Oakmoss Sandalwood that I purchased from another soapmaker. It smells REALLY nice. Edited August 7, 2010 by kestagano04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Sounds nice. In fact I have about about an ounce of oakmoss, I knew I was saving it for something, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well ... now that there are no people here and maybe after I get back from a fair, I might be able to get something done. Need to get our fall/winter scents going before I get killed by my partner.Looking at cranberry and pumpkin stuff, but really would like something different too ... any suggestions?

LovelyLathers Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I didn't get anything made today . But I shouldn't complain, the store was too busy this afternoon and had the farmers market this morning. I did manage to get my front window changed snd it does look so pretty. Tomorrow I will buckle down!!Scented I did a mix yesterday of Cranberry spice and Candy corn because I didn't have enough of them to make a batch. I love it!! I also had a little of Autumn Harvest and pumpkin and mixed them It is really nice. More of a pumpkin/ spicy vanilla to my nose but it is not that great.

CBE Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sue.... cranberry spice and candy corn sounds lovely! If you want to share your blend, you can post it here if you would like:http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92714 Another sandalwood blend you might like is 50/50 coconut and sandalwood. I used DS Coconut Soapsilly version (straight coconut) and CS Antique Sandalwood. I have this blend sitting in the shop marinating and it smells gorgeous. Doesn't smell too summery at all to me, and could surely pass as a different kind of Fall scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapintastic Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I actually got to make two batches tonight. One is just a basic unscented bastille that was running very low on stock. The other is a remake of a chocolate/coffee soap I tried in the spring. I wasn't happy with the scent, so this time, I added more!! It's scented and colored with cocoa powder and ground coffee beans. that's it. looked just like chocolate pudding. Actually smelled decent at pour! I piped some plain white that I held out, on top- like whipped cream- and added "chocolate shavings" from a grated bar of the original attempt. Can't wait to unmold!! It's in the fridge now- trying to avoid gel. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I got some organic pumpkin to make my pumpkin soap today. Also made were Eucalyptus and Cedar that had to be rebatched and a lovely batch of Lemon Meringue Pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
