The last few weeks have been full-on soapmaking to restock the shelves depleted by the pre-Christmas rush. I only have two loaf moulds, and can only soap in the evenings once the little Miners are asleep, so it’s a fairly long drawn out process involving nightly soapmaking (what a shame :-D!) but I’m getting there.
This is Parisian Flora. A drop swirl fragranced with a blend of Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Rose Geranium essential oils, and coloured with titanium dioxide and micas.

Wow, beautiful colors 😍 I haven’t tryed that fragrance mix, but it sounds really good. Did you use EO’s or FO’s….?
Thanks Yvonne 😊 It’s an EO blend. I’ve heard that Ylang Ylang can cause acceleration but I haven’t found that to be the case (in this recipe anyway)
Beautiful soap, Vicki! Sounds like a lovely fragrance, too.
Thanks Jenny!
That is a lovely EO blend. Your colors are so vivid. They turned out beautiful =)
Thanks Anne-Marie, I confess I am pleased with how they turned out 🙂
Such beautiful drops and top swirls, Vicki! I totally understand what you’re saying about waiting til the little miners go to sleep… I’m getting really good at late night soaping, too!
Ah thank you Katy. Soaping with kids is sometimes a challenge but I’m hoping that when they’re old enough they’ll want to get involved (but that’s a looong way off yet 😄)
