I want to buy some dried rose petals from Bramble Berry and sprinkle them on my Cold Process Soap. But I don't care for the smell of rose so I don't want to scent the soap with a rose fragrance. Can anyone suggest some other fragrances that I could use in a soap that has rose petals on top?

Also, do I need to know anything in particular about using rose petals in cold process soap? Do I just sprinkle them on top after I've poured the soap into the mold? Does the soap need to be at a medium trace?

Thanks,
Linda

How about a chocolate FO? Chocolate and roses are nice together. Or a vanilla scent?

Oh - how about a white (or chocolate) and pink swirl soap with the petals on top?

I would think a medium trace would be ok since the petals aren't heavy and shouldn't sink into the soap.

Did you want something herbal? Citrusy? Fruity? It's hard to give a suggestion, if I don't know what you are after. BTW Those petals will turn brown over time.

The vanilla suggestion sounds interesting. I guess I'm open to anything that would seem to 'go with' rose petals. I wish I liked Rose FO's but I just don't. It always reminds me of little old ladies. But, then again, I'm making my soaps for other people so I guess I could try the least offensive rose FO that I could find, in the hopes that other people like the scent of roses enough to buy the soap. I've tried BB Baby Rose but I didn't like it. Maybe I could look for a combination scent that only includes a hint of rose.

my best suggestion if you want to sell...make rose scented soap. I hate the smell of rose and a couple of other fragrances but I dropped off my whole sale shipment and when the clerk cradled my rose scented soap in her hands it was love at first sight.

The rose sells and a scent I swear smells like a fresh box of band-aids, Relaxation from SW, sells-out.

If I sopaed only scents Iliked everything would be a foodie scent.

just my two scents :lol:

I'm not a fan of rose, but I do kind of like:
patchouli rose
rose mixed with Apples & Oak

I with you, I used a scent called love spell with my roses, but they turned black and would never you rose petals again in my soaps. I ordered it from peak candles http://www.peakcandle.com/ they have some nice scents, just make sure they are from "bath & body" collection, they scent me a sample one year and I made soap with it, loved it, than thought to check and it was for candles only, oh, well, thank God I thought of it before I used or sold.

That's why it's always important to make sure that you fragrance is safe for bath and body produicts. :)
