Hello all
I'm thinking of making a soap to give as Xmas gifts and if I get started now it should be ready in time. It's a "turrón" soap. For the uninitiated, turron is a Spanish Xmas delicacy vaguely similar to marzipan, it's traditionally made from almonds, honey, eggs, although there are hundreds of varieties these days.
So, the plan is to make a soap containing honey, which I've done, use almond oil as one of the oils (although that does nothing in fragrance terms), and then there's the question of the smell. Can anyone recommend a good almond essence or FO?
And does anyone have experience making something similar, or advice, or warnings, or...?
Many thanks in advance and happy soaping
