IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

This soap smells seductive, very feminine, and floral without being overly sweet. I also added some cruelty-free tussah silk fibres for a more slippery and luxurious feel.

It inspires me of passion and dreamy romance, so I decided to call it after Wong Kar-Wai's delicate movie. All I have to do is sniff it and I hear the slow, longing music of the movie's soundtrack. 

Until next post!

FAST & FURIOUS

It is almost a miracle that I managed to swirl this soap at all. The trace accelerated very quickly and by the time I turned around after pouring the bottom third and doing the pencil line, what was left in the soap pot was almost soap on a stick. I was working at a low temperature, with a not particularly fast moving recipe and, as usual, only with essential oils, none of them from spices, so the only thing I can think of was the benzoin oleoresin causing this behaviour.

Still, not a totally bad looking soap IMO, and it smells amazing! 

Bye now!
