If you were to make your own shave soap scent

Congratulations to "Doc" on his Northern Dragon from Mama Bear!::

I WILL be buying some in the future. With that in mind, if you could create your own shaving soap scent, what would it be? I would create "Copenhagen Caress" a blend of valencia orange, lemon, jasmine, oakmoss, and amber modeled after a certain cologne that for some reason works for me.

 

Thanks, Trader Joe has a good one too!


Have you tried asking Mama Bear if she can hook up that flavor for you?

 

These are all fragrances that I have.. Jasmine is incredibly expensive tho. However, if you can find a recipe for it, I can do it for you hon. ::

 

Deal! I just need to scour the world for a valid recipe Don't hold your breath this may take a while.

 

Rich ...
I'm working on some right now.
I combined MamaBears Sapwood and Smokin soaps and I really like the results.
I've been experimenting by using my soapy water technique and mixing soaps...pretty easy and a lot of fun

 

I am waiting on the Rick blend myself! :drool

 

That's an idea. I wonder if I got the cologne and added some to an unscented soap? hmmm....wheels are turning. Now, I have to go to Mama Bear's page and look at all the soap ingredients.

 

I'd love to have a soap that smelled like YSL's Rive Gauche, which is a cologne that pays homage to the barbershop scents of old -- sorta like Barbasol shave cream.

I don't want to go back to goo-in-a-can, but wouldn't mind the scent

 

Looking at Mama Bear's soap there are several that mixed together might work nicely. Bay Rum & Lime comes to mind.

 

I'd love to have a soap that was close to Trumpers Eucris, however that's a pretty complicated scent

 

I came up with an EO concoction of Sandalwood, organic Lavender, organic Cedarwood, Cypress, Vetiver, and a touch of sweet Marjoram. I was using a few drops of Fir needle also, but I found it to be too much evergreen for my tastes. It is almost perfect now. I am thinking it would be nice with just a drop of two of vanilla. That would really highlight the lavender. This EO concoction is mixed into a tub of AOS unscented.

In this same tub I also added a little olive oil and a very small amount of clove oil. The clove oil gives it a nice warming sensation, and the olive oil seems to enhance the already superb lubricating quality of the AOS cream.

This is about the best scent I have found in any medium. Hopefully it will not change when put in a melt and pour glycerine soap base. If anyone has any input on where to get the very best melt and pour soap, please fill me in.

Regards,
Jason

 

There is a scent I have been craving since I threw the cans of goo away. Recently Joanna agreed to make it for me. Lime with some vanilla, like lime icecream, or lime sorbet. signs001 Updates to follow.

 

you can get allthe melt and pour on ebay as well as the eos. i make my on sents from sweet almond ,cederwood, sweet ornge, tee trea, patatula. it has its own smel.

 

I got JoAnna to mix up three EOs into some of her soap and cream for me--

• Bergamot
• Patchouli
• Peppercorn

It came out very well, but I dont have a nice, catchy name for it.

 

HA -- that works for me!

BTW, do you keep notes on customized blends when they're ordered? I can definitely see myself ordering more when my current stock gets low.

 

I agree about the valencia orange, lemon, jasmine, oakmoss, and amber, but it's missing a hint of Patch.

 

How about Bergachoulicorn. Or Pepper Patchamot. Or Berga Cornpatch. Or... ehh... xCellent is probably better.
