Mystery Fragrance No. 5 definitely had that effect on me. I described it yesterday as a heavy scent. It brought to mind red and gold tapestries that are so popular in the winter .... and thus, my first S.O.A.P. team project!
Using the Bramble Berry cube soap mold I love so much, I started with a clear base, coloring one half with a gold mica and the other half with Bramble Berry's Merlot Sparkle Mica. The latter looks absolutely stunning in MP soap. Below is a picture of it in the melted soap:
Because Mystery Fragrance No. 5 seemed heavy out of the bottle, I was hesitant to add it in too high of a percentage. I finally settled on 2%, which is just a tad less than the 2.5% I usually use.
And the finished product looks like this:
The scent definitely lightened up in the soap, but the essence stayed true. I think 2% is the right amount for this scent.
Those are lovely! No. 5 was very nice indeed. It keeps changing up on me, I can't decide what I think it is!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I feel the same way, this one is very tricky.
