I used Mystery Fragrance No. 7 to make a batch of bubble bars. I actually made two batches, the first of which ended up all over me, my walls, and my work table when my attention was diverted from my mixer. The second batch did not fare much better, but it did make it into the molds.
The essential problem with making bubble bars is finding the right balance of moisture. Glycerin is wonderful for moisturizing skin, but add a tad too much and you've got glop. That is basically what I ended up with:
The good news is that after a day or two, the bars did dry enough to stay together. The even better news is that Mystery Fragrance No. 7 is amazing! It smelled good in the bottle, and the scent stayed true while mixing it in the product. But, oh my goodness, when these bubble bars hit water, the scent was heavenly. There is a kind of grapefruity note in the bottle that seemed to disappear in water. I will perfect my bubble bar recipe, and will definitely be using this scent in it.
