jackbenimble Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I just saw this lady on YouTube making pumpkin lavender cp soap. She said she just mixed the two together. Has anyone tried this combo before? I thought it sounded really interesting and I may try it out soon. I have a sample FO of pumpkin pie spice and lavender from CS. Or should I try to use a fresh pumpkin scent and not a pumpkin pie scent? Anyway give me your thoughts if you think it will be a good combo or bad or if you have made this scent combo before.

cedar_lea Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I've never smelled this so this is just a random scent impression -- If you want to go heavy on the lavender use a pumpkin that's more pumpkin than spice. The closest I've had to this is a lavender creme brule at a restraunt & I think that the pumkin scent would be similar in some ways the creamy sweet of the custard.On the other hand if you want to go with the pumpkin spice I could see the lavender as a scent that mingles with the other spices and adds interest while letting the basic spice blend be the star.

jackbenimble Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I saw this in another thread and someone suggested using 2 parts pumpkin and 1 part lavender. I did this with q-tips in a baggie as a test. Used CS scents. Kinda nice. Different. Maybe better in wax.

Scented Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The one fragrance I have never put together, yet it's supposed to have an odd appeal for people. Tell me what's it like? The only pumpkin scent I think I own any more is pumpkin ginger snap so I don't think it would work out for a personal test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Inspired by this thread I pulled out a couple of pumpkins from my stash. Picking Pumpkins and Butternut (both from AH/RE) smelled remarkably good with all of my different lavenders. Thanks so much for the suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This combo is familiar. I know we discussed this in another thread about 1-2 fall seasons ago. Those that tried it loved it. For some reason the two blended together work. Thanks for bringing this up again. I'll have to remember to give it a try-- but I need the right pumpkin. Not sure this would be good with pumpkin souffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I used CS pumpkin pie and their lavender and they went really well together. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I know this is an older thread but I also watched this video... so I googled the combo , to see if a supplier sells it and you know the reasoning for the combo? A study was done and in the men tested it said it caused a 40% increase in blood flow to well... lets just say the combo is an aphrodisiac to men. http://www.smellandtaste.org/index.cfm?action=research.sexual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I had to see what this would smell like. I just mixed Butternut Pumpkin for AH and my Lavender from the Soap Dish and it does smell awesome! I am so going to soap this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyme1911 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'll let you know how it turns out.... Kyme, which pumpkin and lavender are you going to use?I ordered pumpkin spice from SGS & I have CS lavender ( my fav) but I also have a whole bottle of SS Tassi lavender I can try too. I think I will try 3 testers . 1 heavy on the pumpkin, 1- 50/50 & 1- heavy on the lavender. Just to see which I like . Then I can make a small batch of CP.

I think I will soap today. I am going to use 2 parts lavender to 1 part pumpkin. The Butternut Pumpkin is quite heavy on the spice and I did not want to over use it. Hopefully it turns out great.

Sharon in KY Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I tried this before, equal parts spicy pumpkin and lavender. Has a nice clean scent. I would love to soap it, will have to see if any of my pumpkins are skin safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did you get a chance to try it? I am excited to hear how it worked out for you. So far so good. It is in the gel stage right now. I used full water and cool oils and lye and I did not have any problems with it moving too fast. It smells awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeahRB Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I was able to unmold and cut this morning and it smells so good. The lavender is what I smell the most of, but the butternut pumpkin enhances it. It is a very clean scent and I think men and women will both like it. I can't wait to see how this turns out after a cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricofAZ Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Well, I had some pumpkin pie spice and I'm out of Lavender but I have some Sage Lavender so I tried that. 2/3 pumpkin and 1/3 sagelavender. Figured I'd use it with my favorite paraffin blend and continue my coconut oil experiment. In the presto it was quite nice. if it works, I'll rename it "Enhancement Enchantment" or "Libido Magic" or "HottDawg" or "Merry Musk" or "Atten Hut" or "Macho Music" or some such thing. Lets see, Living Large is probably copyrighted. Help me out here, what other names should we use? Where's Steve Martin when you need him?

EricofAZ Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Test burn tonight, mainly to see how I like coconut oil added to the wax. I'll let you know about the "other" properties. The reason why I used sage was primarily because all I had left was the sage/lavender blend, but I do know that the girlfriend has reported that she finds sage to be arousing.The lavender/sage is pretty strong compared to the pumpkin, but its only just lit and not a full melt pool yet.
