Scented Soap - How to Get it Right!

Scent plays a big role in what a person likes. We naturally to gravitate towards things that smell good. For example, if a person smelled bad, we would probably avoid talking to them. Another example, when food smells good, it is more enjoyable to eat. It shouldn't be a surprise then, that often, people buy soap because the product smells good to them.

Scented soap that has a perfect blend of fragrances is something that is difficult to get right. If you are following a tried and tested recipe, your soap will probably turn out okay, but if you are trying to create unique fragrance combinations of your own, you must tread carefully. Usually, it takes years of patience, practice, and a lot of smelly batches to hone your skills in the art of scented soap making.

When creating scented soap for the first time, always keep in mind the scents of the soap oils you are using. Some essential oils have a fragrance of their own. This fragrance has to be kept in mind when trying to figure our the scent of the end product. If the essential oil has a strong natural fragrance, you should only add supporting fragrances to your end product. If it has a mild fragrance, you can try to match it with a complementary scent. For example, if you are using a strongly scented almond oil, only add scents that will go well with almonds like cinnamon.

From the example above, you can see that fragrance oils should only be added as needed. If a product will smell good on its own, adding a fragrance oil can potentially ruin the end result. This isn't to say you shouldn't do it at all, though. If a product has a scent of its own, you can try adding fragrance oils with milder scents first, and ones that will complement the initial scent, as mentioned.

When adding a fragrance to a soap without any scent, stick to milder scents again. Learn your scents well before you start combinations. When you do begin combining scents, stick to gentle fragrances first. Gentler fragrances tend to complement each other and not overpower any of the scents you may be trying to blend and achieve.

If you want to use a fragrance that is quite strong, be sure to commit your scented soap to that one fragrance. Until you are familiar with the fragrance and what will go well with it, don't begin mixing! When you are ready, give your strong fragrance mild undertones. NEVER put two strong scents together. You will usually just get an overpowering smell that will be far from appealing.

Try to get a good fragrance guide for your scented soaps. Look up fragrance charts for flowers in order to see which ones are usually paired together in a bouquet. Remember, they have to be fragrance charts. These will help you figure our which of your soap fragrance oils will go well together too.

Finally, be careful when it comes to non-floral scents, like sea scents or the scent of rain. These are usually synthetic scents, which means they are not natural. Think about whether or not you want a synthetic scent in your end product or a synthetic material in your soap at all. If you like making organic soap, this may not be a good idea, and having only natural qualities in a soap may be important to some customers.
