I had a request for a citrusy soap, and knew that this fragrance would fit the bill. I made a small batch of it last summer and had no problem selling it. I changed the color a bit, but it still has the same sparkling burst of orange, rounded out by a hint of herbal basil. (I was so excited when I realized I had some fresh basil from my potted herb garden to add to the picture!)

I added more water up front to this batch because I had a problem with it setting up too quickly last time. Thus, it will take a little bit longer to cure (i.e. evaporate the water out to make a nice, hard soap). I’m planning to have this one available Saturday, August 30th.
