Black Raspberry Vanilla

I made a smaller batch of Black Raspberry Vanilla. It's a great seller and I wish I had enough of the fragrance to buy a bigger bottle but I'll remember for next time. 

I'd describe the scent of this as a sweet and creamy. Here's the description from my supplier: "a velvety combination of blackberry and raspberry with a heart of creamy vanilla, followed by lingering nuances of earthy vetiver.  One of our most popular fragrances, it is a knock-off of the popular bath and body works scent of the same name." I'm not sure I completely agree with the description but regardless, it's a fantastic scent! 

It is a fragrance oil (phthlate free of course) so for those that like a scent that lingers longer on the skin, I think you'll love this. 

I was not expecting to soap this scent on this day, I had planned on soaping a mango scented soap but I forgot that I wanted to adjust the recipe to include some mango butter. Just as I was about to add the mango fragrance, I remembered the missing mango butter so switched to this scent instead. Even though I wasn't prepared for this soap and it wasn't exactly like I had envisioned, I like how it turned out! I wanted the entire top to be covered in soap curls but there wasn't enough and I wanted the purple to be more predominant but oh well, I'm happy with how it turned out. :)

This soap will be ready March 11th.
