sorry, Digit! I did not see this question come through yesterday. Yes, I have now used all of the soapsupplies.net soaps. The most recent was the Bluebonnet. The Bluebonnet just came off the cure rack, in fact, it is still officially on the cure rack for, I think, week 5 but I could not wait to try a bar and I made this batch for myself anyway. I am the most disappointed in Bluebonnet. It smelled so nice OOB. Soaped, it faded to almost but not quite nothing as I noted in my original review of this scent. In the shower with hot water and lots of nice suds , it has....and i know this is going to sound very strange...a kind of smell like old hay (we are a horsey family so I know all too well what that smells like). This is not a pleasant smell to my nose!! Now, having said that I should note that I used a very small amount of Jojoba oil in this 1lb recipe and maybe it was the jojoba! Also, the bar that I used had gone through a thorough gel. I made a second batch and put in fridge to stop gel. It also has jojoba in it...one ounce in 1 lb. I have not tried a bar from that batch yet and maybe the scent morphed in the gel. My whole bathroom has a nice sweet lingering smell in it after I get out of the shower which I love!!!...but in my hand, up close, I get that old hay smell...go figure!!
Now, a quickie rundown on the other FOs from this supplier. Mandarin II is still strong and good. Soaped in mid May. I use it regularily. Kitchen Herb is not so strong..quite faint in fact...but smells about the same as it did when I soaped it back in May. Peach Gardenia had a nasty smell when I first used it, so i put it in the pile of little hand soaps by my sink. It has lost most of the nasty smell and is kind of peachy. I think I just don't like gardenia. It is an overripe scent to me. Aloe is wonderful but not strong at all. White Ginger and Amber still has no ginger to it...but it is strong and sexy. I love it as a handsoap. Cool Citrus and Basil is a light but very pleasant scent. I have more and will use it up soon. Jasmine Grapefruit is the star! This smells only like grapefruit to me, but it is strong, not floral at all. I am giving this batch to my son in law who loves grapefruit scented soap...but keeping a bar for me. Some of these I will soap again: Jasmine Graperuit, Cool Citrus, the Amber one and definitely the kitchen herb FO. I still don't smell any peppermint in that one at all!!
cheers,
rita
