Looking for a good Russian leather or English leather type fragrance. Trying to find a good fragrance for my dad, but he's very picky [emoji53]. I've tried Deadly Weapon, Animalistic, The Perfect Man, and Aqua di Gio, (all from NGC), and so far he hasn't liked any of them. He keeps asking for...

I had planned a totally different design for this batch, but my soap was getting too thick, so I had to switch gears quickly. I thought "oh well, it will be okay even things didn't go as planned." Well, I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the way it turned out. Looks kind of...

Made a small stash busting batch of soap yesterday and when I unmolded it today I noticed that it had a chemically smell. It seriously smells like when you walk by a salon and smell the hair permanent chemicals. No zap at all. It did take a long time to go through gel phase and I know it got...

Originally attempted a faux funnel swirl, but my soap was getting too thick so I tried a little experiment. I opted for a spoon swirl on top of a thickly traced faux funnel. I was worried that I would get an overly mixed look, but I was pleasantly surprised by the swirl pattern.

This is three days out of mold. Pretty happy with the results. I cpop'ed at 170°F for 2 hrs. Have had overheating and separation issues before so I watched this batch like a hawk. It's a cool water dupe scent. Used titanium dioxide, and ultra marine blue. Scent smells great and sticks really well.

A semi-success. I got a little bit of separation at first. The top was slightly zappy :-(. I just trimmed the tops and so far it's all good. Hopefully my picture will show this time

I've tried to post pics. a couple of times and for some reason they don't upload. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? I got an error message saying failed to connect to forum contact administrator. Sent from my LG-MS770 using Soap Making mobile app

I had my oven on at the lowest setting (170°F). After 30 minutes it started to separate in the mold. I stired just enough to reincorporate my soap without disturbing the swirls too much. I just insulated the soap and let it go through gel and hoped for the best. It smells great but...

The reason I ask is that I'm having doubts about soaping a fragrance. The thing is that I have soaped it before but this new bottle doesn't smell the same. I should have checked when I bought it but I didn't think I would have to as I had already purchased and liked it before. I contacted the...

I notice that my bars of soap look weird after they have finished curing. By weird I mean that they have a lot of warping and are indented in the areas where I have done some swirling. I assume this is from the water evaporating? I use soap calc and use full water at 38%. I have tried adding...

I just happen to notice that that with a couple of batches that I made, my soap felt harder soon out of the mold. I also noticed that my soap did not get as soft or gooey when I left it in the soap dish like some other batches did. I did use different recipes for my soft vs. hard batches but I...

Is there a way that I can donate them to someone? I'm not sure where to post this question, but I would hate to see these items go to waste. I don't know anyone else in my town who soaps and I have some things that I either can't or won't use. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them.

I'm fairly new to soap making and haven't had much success with the fragrances I have chosen. Normally I fragrance at about 3-5 % and some have faded out completely or morphed to the point where they smelled like flowery vomit (seriously). The few that I like are: 1. sweet orange mango- Soap...
