Last week, I made 2 soaps for men. The first one is a combination of gingered bergamot and tangerine f.o.s. It smells fresh and clean, and with the blue and green colours, it reminds me of the sea. Italy perhaps? Positano? Amalfi? Capri? I looked up all the names of famous Italian beaches but didn’t find a perfect match. Sniff sniff again….it definitely smells sporty. And that’s when I had a light bulb moment. Regatta! Yes, the sailing event sounds just perfect!

The second soap I made is scented with Beau Brummel and Black Tea. Careless me, I forgot to put fragrance in the upper black part of the soap! Just recently also, I made a batch of honey patchouli soap with a “honeycomb” top. I was supposed to put honey in the soap but I only remembered after pouring the soap into the mold! Argh! I really want to kick myself sometimes. Have you experienced forgetting to put an ingredient in your soap?
