[soapcraft] Re: Todays Blends & FOs

I haven't tried the heather.  I will be interested to see what you end up
thinking of it.

 

I don't use a lot of amber at the moment but I love it so will be using it
more.  When I blend with it I tend to have a higher percentage in the blend
than the more robust oils if I really want it to shine through.

No I got cosmetic grade, and to be honest, I really didn't know what I was
wanting - I'm really quite chuffed and pleased.

 

You left out Heather - do you have this one?  That is a lot of Amber - guess
you use it a lot.  Is it stronger in a blend?

I think it will be solid red

 

WFO were easy with a good range.  I still want to get some from some other
companies at some stage.

 

Amber - even true amber tends to be subtle.  I got a 8oz bottle with my last
order.

Fern - this is very green and very useful in blends

Banana - keep meaning to get a sample

Guava - I found it fairly light

Pineapple - must get this one!

Strawberry - love it.

 

Did you get the premium grade?

Lovely!  I like the sound of the Red Musk Accord - what colour will the soap
be?

 

I've been meaning to ask Ross.  What made you decide on the Wellington
Fragrance people as the company to get your fragrances from?  I have seen
many fragrant co names bandied about on The Dish, but never them, so what
made you decide?

 

I bought my nearly first ever fragrant oils from Wellington Fragranco Co and
they arrived today.  I've only purchased fo once before and it was for a
contract for a client - coconut oil.  It was lovely and soaped great - very
long lasting.  That was 4 years ago and I still have it!  Anyway the oils I
chose are very basic fruity ones with a Heather, Fern and Amber thrown in
for good  measure.

 

Funny, I never thought I'd be waxing lyrical over fragrant oils!!  I got
ones that might help me with my feijoa fragrance, but in hind sight, I think
the aroma chemicals coming from Thailand will help more.  Anyway, this is
what I got and what I thought.

 

Amber - lovely but not nearly as strong as I expected.

Heather - subtle but nice.

Fern - very subtle but like.

Banana - as you would expect - but I like it.

Guava - expected it to be stronger, but it is true.

Pineapple - this is the pick of them all, absolutely just like freshly
sliced pineapple - to die for.

Strawberry - again beautiful, strong, rich and sweet.

 

I have to say, the fragrant oils surprised me.  They far surpass anything I
have seen or smelt before.  The scents seem deeper and more complex then
your usual sniff of fragrant oils.  The usual synthetic/chemical smell is
not so obvious - IMO, and the bottles are beautiful (I do like bottles).

 

I feel the start of a whole shelf of beautiful coloured, scented little
vials of fragrant oils.  My world is a changing!!
