They said they used .5 oz ppo.

I didn't get sniffies with my last order either

I soaped Winter Cucumber last night (ok it was really 2 in the morning, I couldn't sleep so I soaped) And I'm really happy with the way it smells. I used 5 oz cucumber melon (cybilla) and .5 oz each spearmint and peppermint eo. It's still gelling but I'll try to remember to get a picture of it in the mold. The swirls are not as delicate as the anise, but it was at a really thin trace. I wanted to see if my mold would leak. No leaks!

Thanks so much, Morgaine!!

Yes, .5 sounds about right. It does smell fairly strong OOB. So far, it smells more of apple than my CG AJP, but still has a good amount of spice to it.

No sniffies for you, either? What's up with that? Perhaps they figured that they weren't selling many scents that way so it was a waste of their money.

Your Winter Cucumber sounds wonderful!! Can't wait to see the pix! How do you like the cybilla cucumber melon?

 

[Morgaine]

The Cybilla Cm is fantastic. Very clean and fresh, not too melon-y which I didn't want. It is one I think I will always carry. It does well in the roll on perfumes too.

I have got to get your box together, I'll try to get that out on Monday. Friday I gotta be here cause we are having a tree taken down. It looks like it going to go over anytime and it's close to the power line.

I don't know, I figured they just forgot. I really want to try their fata Morgana, I'll order that in a couple of weeks when I order more Black Raspberry Cream.

I still need to try the roll on perfume idea. One of these days . . .
One of the sniffies they sent me a while back was the White Willow & Green Tea. Every once in a while, I'll fashion my own perfume out of it. It's actually pretty nice. Although I haven't ordered that for soap, I think I'd try it for a perfume so I'm glad they sent it.

Did you get my last PM? I haven't yet gotten your reply with your wish list.

The TSW Red Apple Jack was nicely behaved. I soaped it at 90 degrees, maybe a tad higher, and didn't have a single problem with it. Some had problems with SC's AJP behaving badly, so I wanted to be sure no problems arose with this. I ended up slashing a bit more scent in above the .5% because it didn't quite seem strong enough to my nose. I probably ended up closer to .6% but don't know for sure since I just splashed it in without measuring.
