Lime is the predominant scent, yes. There's also lemon, mandarin, litsea cubeba, bergamot and sweet orange to name a few more that make up the fragrancenumber two is the standout one for me, is it lime?
Yep, all seen @fly3k thank you. If you've the time though what I'd be really grateful for is something like what @Fergiebilly and others have done. It's this detail that will help steer which scents I'll be releasing first. This is what @Fergiebilly had to say:I did post my thoughts. Not had chance to smell them much since but did put a dab of no 4 on my wrist the other day. Nice citrus scent.
I have done my Happy Sniffing...
- Lavandula Starts off with a Strong Orange high note and low Lavender note...It settles into a higher Lavender/Lower Orange note
- Citra Royale Starts of with a lovely lemon & lime note..Just want to eat it...Settles into a distinct Citrus Lime High note
- Albion Deep Grassy natural morning dew high note ...Settles into a hint of vanilla with musky earth middle note
- Sanskrit High Cedar wood with low citrus note....Settles into Lovely Musky Note with a high citrus note
- Boudicea High Peppermint Note ...Settles quite nicely and to very refreshing & cool Spearmint
- Solaris. Dark Musky Arabian or Oriental scent...Settles into a Lighter Musky scent....A Mans scent for sure...
2. Was my favourite for a shaving soap....Refreshing
5. Also a great scent for a shaving soap...Refreshing
1. Could go with this in a shaving soap.....Refreshing
4. Nice & balanced and good to go in a shaving soap ...Refreshing
3. For me...A bit rich for a shaving soap...More like a perfume for me..
6. Again a bit complex and rich for a shaving soap....But hell I would wear it as a mans perfume...Lovely...
To sum up then..2, 5, 1 & 4 are refreshing and very balanced.....3 & 6 were quite earthy & musky and quite strong...Lovely scents but maybe too much for a shaving soap for me anyway...Subtle is not here...
Hi @Stuart did you figure out an order of preference, in the end?My findings for the scent test:
Lavandula - Of course Lavender, but I could also smell peppermint
Citra Royale - Citrus, lemon, lime, orange and maybe mint
Albion - Aniseed and sandlewood
Sanskirt - sandlewood, citrus and cinnomon
Boudicea - Spearmint and menthol - I found this one hard
Solaris - This was hard but I could smell musk but it be a fresh musk??
As in my order of preference I am not sure of yet but they all have very high qualities which would be great in any soap.
I like my soap to be very strong in scent so the wife can smell it afterwards
Thanks
Stuart
