Random question...has anyone tried making a matching soap for the veg?

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.

Was just thinking about Hoppe's #9 the other day. Great scent!

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??

Try a PM to JoAnna directly.

Vanilla, cinnamon, Summer nights and roses

I, too, was thinking of Clubman when I saw the baby powder choice.

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!
