The resins generally linger on the skin IMO. Patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh, amber, benzoin, teak, rosewood, pine, etc From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Liz Brook Sent: Sunday, 14 March 2010 3:27 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: feedback on LIz's soap Thank you Mary for your comments. I actually agree with the colour - and it is not the usual colour of my Lavender Wisp. The infusion was a little more concentrated than usual. And is usually a lilac/lavender colour, however, the colour is growing on me. Interesting to see what you all say about the scent too. I think after 9 years or so of working with essential oils, my sense of smell has been diluted. I thought you would all complain because the scent is muted and doesn't last. How wrong have I been!

The colour, darkkkkkkk ? not as enticing for me because of this. Pre Shower smell - not sure, Patchouli is my fav smell and I do like lavender but can't quite get either of these in particular. I suspect I will like the smell more when in use. I felt the colour didn't really match the the name and as Im a visual person if colour, name and smell don't match - I get confused however I loved the shape and edges, perfect for me. The bar seemed very hard and shiny, interesting. I have been following the posts so understand you use another ingredient, that I don't know about - thats so cool. Shower Hmmm, a little slimy with big bubbles and little bubbles and a bit of cream - excellent, can smell the patcholi now and am liking it. Great bar in shower, bet this one will last for awhile. FAve thing about this bar - I could smell patchouli on my skin for many hours afterwards, lovely bonus and in ingredients list use of rainwater and honey, lovely touch.
