Thai Lime soap
Josh and I made some soap last December that I’m enjoying a lot. To a 3.75 lb batch of soap, we added these essential oils: 2 t lemongrass, 2 t lime, 2 t coriander, 1/2 t ginger, 1/2 t basil.
I made up the scent blend to work well with Josh’s skin; lime scents work well on him. It’s pretty nice on me, too, and it makes me feel cheerful and vigorous. The scent’s holding and aging well.
It’s hard to guess how these experiments are going to work out. There was a batch of ginger soap a couple of years ago that smelled like dirt. Literally; you’d sniff that soap and think, “Wow, that smells filthy.” Several months later it’d mellowed out, but it was never really fantastic. This, on the other hand, smelled great to start with and still does.
