Scent Review - Pure Fragrance Oil - Green Tweed

Today we are soaping Green Tweed from Pure Fragrance Oils.

Cary Grant's fragrance of choice! Top notes of Mysore sandalwood,

ambergris, violet leaves, French verbena and Florentine iris.

Green Tweed is a wonderfully fresh, green scent that has a soft Oakmoss background.

This fragrance oil has such a nice clean scent...comparable to Irish Spring and a great scent for a man or a woman. In this latest order of fragrance oils the Irish Tweed came in these little white jugs...they are cute and store nicely...but I didn't like how clumsy it poured out of the bottle, so be sure to have a wipe nearby to catch the drips down the bottle...but I did like the handle when pouring.

My soap thickened on me because I didn't like the shade of green I ended up with so I needed to add more mica... and I guess I took a little too much time, so no itp (in the pot) swirl today, instead today it was spoon plops for me...which I enjoy just as much.
 

This fragrance plays nice with no acceleration. As for discoloration the oil itself has a green tint to it...it doesn't discolor the soap too much, no browning, but a gentle green hue so I actually like to use the darker green olive oil with this to enhance the green tint. Today I was out so I used my light colored olive oil.

Bramble Berry Fragrance Review - Beau Brummel

Today I soaped Beau Brummel from Bramble Berry. The scent is described as...

 

Tobacco and black tea are the dominate notes with hints

of fruit and spice. This fragrance is heady, masculine and

evokes images of the classic well dressed gentleman

 

I made this the day we were going on a hike, and I guess I was excited for that...I forgot to take pictures as I went, but here it is in the mold.

 



I used my guest sized mold as this batch was for a custom order.

I love this scent! My nose isn't the best at always picking up all the notes of fragrance oils...but I just know I like what I like. To me at first sniff...this scent is honeylicious!! Then I do pick out the other notes. This fragrance oil is wonderful to soap, no acceleration and no discoloration....two huge plus' in me liking a fragrance oil and wanting to use it again.  

Here I have pictured 3 different sizes, regular bar (center), half sized bars (left) and guest sized bars (right).

In our shop you will find it listed as Arizona Moonlight as we used to embed a "moon" into the soap log...maybe someday we will bring that back.

WSP FO Review #8 of 15 - Urban Cowboy

Urban Cowboy....Grapefruit and bergamot lend to this masculine fragrance with notes of amber, patchouli, oakmoss and sandalwood.

Previous reviews say it seizes, so I planned no color to be able to stay on top of the soap....well the good news is...it doesn't seize...the bad news??...

...It RICES! UGH! What to do...what to do...

...think fast, can I salvage this, what...do...I...do...

I figured I had nothing to lose at this point so I stickblended the heck out of it...and it actually smoothed out, whew!!
 

This baby heated up in no time....

 

So just what did we end up with...

 

A beautiful creamy white bar of soap. This is a great scent for a man...reminiscent of a cologne, but a great masculine scent.

 

What is your favorite scent for a man?
