    Tryphon used to make some soaps that were very close to Pinaud Clubman scent(s) but they are long gone now.
    It's a great idea though.

    I'd love one of these in Veg though....

    But, here is a recipe for a Lilac Veg soap from another board.

    Time to make: About 30 mins.
    Lather: Fantastic.
    Scent: Even better.

    ==================================================================
    Ingredients
    - 5 ounces of Lilac Vegetal,
    - 4 ounces of Shea Butter unscented,
    - 4 ounces of Goats Milk unscented melt and pour glycerin soap,
    - 1/2 teaspoon of Bentonite Clay
    - 1 Tablespoon of Glycerin
    - 3 tablespoons of Castor Oil
    - 2 ounces of LV right out of the bottle
    - Yellow and Blue soap dye (from the same hobby shop).


    Instructions:
    Heat 5 ounces of Lilac Vegetal in a microwave to boil off the alcohol and water without scorching the "essence" like you might on a stove top.
    Wind up with about 3 tablespoons of dark green soup.


    Melt the Shea Butter and Goats Milk unscented melt and pour glycerin soap.
    Add the LV soup.

    Add:
    1/2 teaspoon of Bentonite Clay
    1 Tablespoon of Glycerin
    3 tablespoons of Castor Oil
    2 ounces of LV right out of the bottle
    Yellow and Blue soap dye (from the same hobby shop) - which makes it...green.

    Pour it all into molds and let it cool.
    ==================================================================

    Ok, I love a lot of scents, but here in MS the hedges (Bridal Spirea) are in full bloom. I absolutely love this floral scent, and it could very well be in my top 3 floral scents, if not my top floral scent. Ive heard people say that Bridal Spirea causes allergy inflammation. I dont know if that is true in general or not. I have asthma and have had nothing but great experiences with this scent. I rode my bicycle 26 miles last Saturday and enjoyed smelling the Bridal Spirea along the trail. This hedge flower also grows abundantly in and around my yard.

    Question/request to any of the artisan soap makers that read this: can you make a shave soap or cream with this scent (Bridal Spirea), or am I left having to take in this scent in my yard and on bike trails??

    these are some scents I like and scent combos I would love to see
    aquatic scents
    I like the idea of the Pinaud scents (Vanilla, Special Reserve, etc.)
    I think a Fougere Sandalwood sounds good
    Patchouli Green Tweed
    Citrus Leather

    I, too, was thinking of Clubman when I saw the baby powder choice.
     
  19. Spirea essence is extremely fragile (and a light scent). It's not really used in many fragrances because of this. I tried to make a Spirea extract from the plants in my yard several years ago for our soaps, I did not work out :(

    Thank you so much for your reply! I did as much research on google and made inquiries with various essential oil companies. It seems the spirea is a no go. I can and will enjoy this scent annually in my yard and in the country area where I live.

    Thanks again for your reply. I really appreciate you doing so!
