Whole loaf of Bacon Soap...in the trash!

katsntx · Aug 21, 2014

Update on the bacon scented soap. So, after this soap almost making me throw up TWICE, and my coworkers gagging... IN THE TRASH IT WENT! I have never, ever, thrown a whole loaf of soap in the trash, but honestly, this was so putrid that I just couldn't bear it any longer. I am going to remake this soap and leave it UNSCENTED! (I think). I might just leave this one alone...:Kitten Love:

Gosh, thank you so much for letting me know before I did that also! My son was thinking fondly of bacon scented soap...

I'm still going to do it. It can cure outside

That's the spirit.

Just watch out for large herds of hungover folks being drawn in by the scent........

I made the WSP Maple Bacon (WSP) and my husband made me get it out of the house to cure. Even now that it's cured it's stored in it's very own box. I've sold 4 bars and gave one to my sister so only 9 more to go. Never again.

You made me snort my coffee!

Bacon was not my favorite. I used a regular bacon and then the maple bacon, while the maple bacon was FAR better than the bacon (which to me had the smell of OLD grease) still wasn't a hit with me.

The soap looks awesome, very bacony! What did you use to get that bacon-red color?

I was leary of artificial-bacon scent...then I smelled Yankee cAndle's Bacon! candle. That noxious, rancid/bacon/dogfood scent means I will never ever ever order a bacon FO!

Honestly don't know who even buys those scents and for what purpose other than for a gag gift. So when I saw it at Yankee Candle* I was extremely confused.

*My SO drags me there with her.

Gag being the operative word.

I used Coral Reef mica from TKB for the red color.

LunaSkye · Aug 21, 2014

where did you get the bacon scent? I think I seen two online stores selling it, but I'm actually hoping it's not saveonscents.com (I love them).

katsntx · Aug 21, 2014

I got mine from NG.

Thanks, I now know one scent to avoid. :smile: If you don't mind my curiosity, will you be making another soap for your friend? If so, try a hot chocolate soap. Save on Scents actually has a Swiss Miss type FO that was dead on. I was actually mad that I did not have any hot chocolate to drink.

Thanks for the suggestion! He originally ordered a beer soap and the bacon one. Even he agreed that it was awful so I am looking into a whiskey soap for him since I can't do "gun cleaning oil!" There's a name for it, but I forgot it. This guy!! LOL:Kitten Love: Might have to try the hot chocolate one for myself! Was it easy to work with?

I love the smell of bacon, but only when it's the real deal and I can eat it (yum!).

I participated in a lip balm swap once a few years ago and someone contributed a bacon-flavored lip balm. Oh my- the smell and taste of it literally made me gag. It was truly awful and stomach-churning. Just the thought of it still makes me shudder. And the thought of a bacon-scented soap downright gives me the heebeejeebees. :sick: All I can say is that you are a much braver soap-maker than me to have attempted it. lol

Sorry it didn't work out! Even if it smelled like good bacon, I don't think I could wrap my brain around showering with bacon scent.

Reminds me of my one attempt to make "mary jane" scented soap for an old hippie friend of mine. FO came from AHRE; the smell was dreadful. Only FO I've ever thrown in the trash.

I never had the pleasure of using it. My sibling ordered a sniffie sample of it and used it in an oil burner. Here is the link: http://www.saveonscents.com/product_info.php/products_id/1722

The following link will also give you suggestions on how to use the different concentrations available: http://www.saveonscents.com/usagerates.php

Isn't Coral Reef from TKB a teal color? I think you completely nailed the colors, BTW. It was well-done, but done in by its own smell. So sad!
