Testing Day

I've been working (ever so slowly) on a new line of soaps that are going to be fun in color, fragrance, and name, and a little more economical than our round classic soaps. So today I spent the day testing new fragrance oil blends and color blends. Here are some of my test soap samples. Each are labeled with the scent or color blend I used.


Now if I could only remember what I scented this white, unlabeled sample with.

More New Candle Melt Scents!

We've added some new candle melt scents! As well as being great as they are, several are great blenders, meaning you can mix them with other fragrances of candle melts we carry for a different or unique blend of your own.

White Vanilla: Strong yet light vanilla with subtle notes of white orchid and white musk. No bakery notes so that even those of you that are not into food type scents would probably enjoy this one. Great on it’s own or try blending it with any of our floral or fruit scents.

Cinnamon Strudel: Flaky pastry made with real butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar warm from the oven. This is great on it’s own or mix with any of our fruit scents for a delicious fruit pie scent.

Peppermint and Eucalyptus: A clean, brisk, energizing blend of two favorites.

Baked Apple Cinnamon: This is a yummy baked apple sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and butter. And if you aren’t counting carbs blend this with our Cinnamon Strudel for a wonderful Cinnamon Apple Strudel scent.

Testing new pumpkin and spice scents!

I've spent the last couple days testing pumpkin and spice scents for our candle melts and during this time I've learned that 99% of these type of fragrances are predominately cinnamon blends. Now I like cinnamon, but what's happened to clove, allspice, or nutmeg(one of my favorites)? They probably don't sell as well (big sigh.) Oh well, I do have a couple pumpkin scents that smelled yummy when pouring my testers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will throw well in our melts.... To be continued!
