Jeana Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I have some questions for those of you who make wine soaps. When you use dark wines do the soaps come out purple or brown?And when you use lighter wines do they go dark or stay light. Besides the scents that claim they smell like wine, what are some good scents to scent wine soap. I think the wine FOs smell like grape, not a big selling scent.

IndulgentCreations Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Wine soaps will turn brown or always have for me. The darker the wine, the darker the soap. As for scents you could pull up a page with descriptions of different wines and see if you can blend something to smell like it describes. Some are heavy on oaks, fruits...stuff like that.

Sharon in KY Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 How about using the vanilla stabilizer and see if it will work with the wine scents. I have smelled some good ones over the years but can't think of them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecold Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 My wine soap turned a dark burgundy color and I scented it Black Raspberry Vanilla. Everyone loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I used a Petite Sirah wine which is very dark Burgandy, my soap turned out brown and I scented it with vineyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well as usual I guess I'll be stuck with a brown soap I was hoping I could get some colors like these https://www.vat19.com/dvds/wine-soap-gift-crate.cfm I found these on a wine soap search.I like the idea of looking up the characteristicss of the wines and trying for a scent that matches. I also like the sound of black raspberry vanilla. Where do you get yours icecold?Pomegranate sounds good too. Sweet and crisp not too foody.

LuminousBoutique Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm wondering if they are using mostly water with just a touch of wine in the ones that you showed in that link.. it says "healthy dose of wine" well.. one persons healthy dose is another persons tiny sip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
