Scent Advice Requested

[Richard Dakesian]

I found some Haunted Pumpkin Ale on a clearance sale at the local store and am making my last soap batch of the season with it. (Seasonal ale on sale for $3 for a six pack.)

I don't have many fragrance/essential oils left but do have some "orange and lemon grass" mixed essential oil.

Would that be a good scent in your opinions?

Thanks for any advice.

Picture of the bottle? Is it soap safe? Where did you buy it?

Local store - local soap or candle supply?

BTW, WSP has a good Pumpkin Lager.

Is this a FO or a Beer/Ale (the kind you drink I am assuming as you said 6 pack

I'm assuming you're talking Pumpkin Ale Beer to make soap with. Orange and Lemongrass will probably be okay but orange doesn't stick very well unless it's a folded orange. Lemongrass sticks just fine. If you like it and it's for personal use go for it.

If you have sweet orange, bergamot and clove EOs, that would make a good blend

Thanks everyone...…..yes the Pumpkin ale is the liquid I am using instead of water.

Made about 100 bars out of Guinness Extra Stout this week and scented those with a rose/sandalwood FO and it smells good.

But the pumpkin smell is different than the Guinness so I will try the Orange/Lemongrass combo EO that I have on hand. The pumpkin has kind of a spicy citrus smell to it.

I don't have hardly any scent choices any longer because it is the end of the season for me. I make batches of soap in the winter only.

Thanks again.
