    I have to say cherry blossoms... or pretty much any fruit tree flowers.

    I know if I saw cherry blossoms or pear tree I would have to pick me up one of them. MMMMM

    I use a blend of lavender, eucalyptus and spearmint. Great for men & women!

    I just got some air fresheners for my car that smell like Hoppes #9 - Might make a great soap scent!

    EO's all the way! Lavender is especially hard to duplicate in an FO.

    Id say if I was to make my own scent ...dont laugh im %100 serious.....I would probably call it "Potter's Delight" ...a shave soap that arouses ones curiosity of what they think the magical halls of Hogwarts Castle would smell like....now think ...walking down the halls of Hogwarts what would you smell......perhaps faint traces of fruity or woody blends coming from the lower dungeon of Professor Snapes potions class? Maybe even a dark undertone of the old pages in all of the centuries old spell books lurking in the castles library? Even hints of pumpkin coming from a big feast in the great hall on halloween from the jack-o-lanterns or perhaps the pumpkin juice? Maybe even a leathery smell from Harrys Quidditch uniform? Oh my god im on to something if I could figure out what scent would smell like old book pages id be set!! I think I will set out to create this Harry Potter themed shave soap...for those of you who do not know who Harry Potter is...im sorry you have not yet embarked on the awesome books or movies......im big on imagination (perhaps thats why im an artist lol) so I think any trace of child left inside you that wants to let go of reality for a while as if you were a kid again should be let out...and I think this shave soap would make me daydream of being in the magical world of Harry Potter...perhaps I shouldnt be daydreaming in the middle of a shave lol but hey if I can create this scent....I would be smiling the entire time of my shave. My imagination goes wild and I always put myself in the shoes of certain characters of different stories...I like to imagine im right there with em.....maybe some people think I need to grow up...but maybe THEY dont have to forget how to have an imagination.....

    On another note (but also on the imagination page).....I would like an awesome soap that smells like you are on the deck of a huge pirate ship......the metallic smell of gold lurking in the cargo of the ship....the smell of freshly fired cannons.....foggy sea air blowin in your face...salty mist slappin you in the face as the ship increases speed ...the smell of grog or rum coming from the passed out or drunken scurvy dogs rigging the aft mast.....and of course the smell of the old rain/wind ridden sails...Id wanna feel like im right there on the ship...full sails on course for the next treasure chest!

    Anyone know what scents I might be able to start with lol...I got a lot of work ahead of me...im so serious on this i want this soap!! lol
