Two New Soaps That I Love

I'm in heaven with my two new soaps.

I made two new batches of soap. One with a new scent I created for autumn, Poison Apple, and an old favorite that I'm bringing back, Chocolate Dipped Orange.

The Chocolate Dipped Orange was one of my original scents back in 2004, and a fave among the chocolate lovers but two years ago when I introduced Dark Chocolate Almond, no one bought it anymore, so I put it to rest. This year, I thought I'd bring it back for a short time as a limited edition scent in our Scrub-Of-The-Month Series and also offer a soap and the soap smells awesome! I've described this scent like those special chocolate candies you can buy that comes in a box and looks like a chocolate orange. You take it out of the box and smash it on the table and it breaks into little sections of orange slices - - except it's chocolate. It smells JUST like that. I will be calling them Smash Ball Sweets. I'm sure they will darken as they cure, but I'm loving the pattern they have going on.

My second soap is my new favorite scent. Poison Apple. Mmmm. Crisp fresh, apple, gooey caramel, black pepper and a sprinkle of graham cracker crust. I've made a perfume oil with this scent I love it so much.

I made small batches so I better get going on producing much more because if you all like them as much as I do, they'll be gone in a flash. Did I mention they are goat milk soaps. My next one will be coconut milk soap for vegans. :)

smash ball sweets better NOT morph in appearance. it looks divine:) spooky, edible, expensive. this soap has attitude. the inside reminds of a very fine, french liver paté. the top is like smashed and scrunched velvet. Very seventies with just the right portion of goth thrown in. bravo!

Smash Ball Sweets look stunning! Did you put mica in the dark color? It seems to have that elegant shine to it!

Joanna Schmidt said...

Oh, between friends, it's embarrassing, really. I will tell you my fascinating secret.

There was a slight ashing going on and on such a dark bar, I thought it was pretty, personally, but I remember people suggesting that wiping light ash off with rubbing alcohol worked, so I tried it. It worked and left quite a sheen! That is not a wet bar.

My confession is complete. :P

They both look divine but I especially like the scent description of the second one.

Totally delectable sounding, both of them! Can't wait to try them later this fall. :)
