Mandy When I think Victoriana theme I think of floral scents I¹m thinking about calling mine Victorian lace (visions of corsets, lace and ribbon) and using Lavender, Rose, and vanilla (I like vanilla). I might even add some lavender buds (if I can find them). Bill (a bit of a history buff) suggested sunlight soap as apparently it was created at the end of the Victorian period. He facetiously suggested arsenic and old lace I think it¹s a famous movie or something (at this stage I wasn¹t listening).
