FarmerJill Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Okay, apologies to those of you who love Green Irish Tweed but.....ugh! So I'm sitting here with a batch of CP soap that I can't stand to smell, plus it turned out ugly as sin. Saturday morning this sucker is gonna be shredded and confettied into a batch of something else. But what fragrance to use in the other batch? Something citrusy like lime or even coconut lime? Or heavy like sandalwood or bay rum? I know I should try to complement the fragrances rather than just overpower it but Green Irish tweed is pretty strong. Ideas, anyone?

chuck_35550 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Personally, I like Green Irish Tweed. Over time the fragrance calms down and it is not overpowering. Customers like the clean smell and its always nice to tell them the this was a fragrance designed for Cary Grant (for those that remember Cary Grant). Just hang on and it will be ok. HTH.

FarmerJill Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks anyway, Steve, but its had a few months to calm down. Into the cuisinart it goes...heh heh heh (that was my evil laugh)Maybe it's just my version - from Oregon Trail. We all think it smells exactly like Irish Spring which was single-handedly responsible for driving me to unscented soaps years ago.

Barbara AL Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Mix it will some unscented soap to tone it down.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 It must be the supplier, the SW and NG Fo's are fabulous.. I would do as Babs said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I use the OT Green Tweed and it's one of my hubby's faves. I'd do what other have suggested and have it be the scented shreds in an unscented batch, so you have a mild version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I love Green Irish Tweed alone, but have mixed it with bay rum (in candles only) and it smelled very nice, too. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I also love to mix GIT with Bay Rum. Elements has my fav Bay Rum. But I prefer BW's Black Irish to GIT anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJill Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well the deed is done. I dumped the shreds into a batch lightly scented with Mint 'n' Herbs/Lime EO/Patch at a ratio of 2:1:1. Sounds weird, I know, to mix all that with GIT but smells darn good.Thanks for the help, even if I didn't take your suggestions (a problem my mother knew all too well ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
