Scent Ideas for soap makers

SV Cosmo is said to be lightly scented coffee flavored soap. Too dark or too strong one may give headache or stop appealing after sometime.

I’d love someone to make a set that is scented like dark, dense cup of coffee or like sticking your nose n the fresh ground coffee beans.

That is very possible as I've been thinking about doing a soap like that for the last few months and have the organic materials to make it but I have to ask you a question would you wear it as a scent in an aftershave or cologne?  This is a question I'd like to ask customers. There are scents I love and can see making a shave soap out of with them but I'm not sure folks would wear them as a Aftershave or Cologne. I'm curious to hear your answer on this subject.

May be if you can experiment by adding some floral touch along with coffee. A nice blend of dark rose would do better than pure coffee.

Mystic Water Cuppa Joe is a nice coffee-scented soap, as well.

Western Sage Brush. Not herb sage or clary sage but the desert sage brush. I would love that scent in a soap. Sagebrush after rain? Whowee!
Aspen trees in fall. The scent of approaching winter. Piquant note of the bark added to the green hay leaf scent. I’d be a buyer.
Black Cottonwood bud resin of spring! Boy howdy I would l love that in a commercially available concoction. Smells like cologne Jeremiah Johnson would wear.
And finally the scent of an alpine river. Mossy, Aqua, smell of a willow or two, bit of pine. BANG.

I say go bold.  Make those soaps you mentioned - and skip the aftershave/edts.  Then let people know why.  I think folks would respect that.

For example:  “I’ve made this great blueberry scented soap.  I just don’t want to smell it past my shave.”

Yep I do believe that there are some awesome scents that are fun to shave with but to wear as an aftershave or cologne no way!

I think getting a good, fresh, dark coffee scent could wear well as an aftershave though I agree it may need to be blended with something else... I’m thinking of something like B&M Leviathan but with a touch more coffee to it, maybe?

I would like to see a MDC sandalwood .

I wasn’t aware that MDC had a Sandalwood. 

If your saying you wish they made a Sandalwood scented shave soap I can tell you from experience they’d have to use a synthetic Sandalwood or if they were to use real Mysore or even East Indian Sandalwood based on their current price of their soap and the oz of soap in their jar you’d be easily looking at a shave soap the would retail for around $200 per jar. 

I costed out a 3oz jar of shave soap and just the Sandalwood needed to scent the soap at a low percentage for each puck would be between $16 to $21 per pick depending on what Sandalwood oil is used and that’s not figuring in the cost of all the other ingredients, the jar and lid and the labels so for 3 oz it would retail for at least $75 to $85 so for 7oz do the math. Love the idea but how many people would spend that much on a shave soap?

CRSW Sandalwood was a nice soap. Loved the scent as well. Declaration Grooming also had a run a couple of years back on a Sandalwood soap and was around 30$ a puck. Not sure on what oil was used in the making though.

Sandalwood is one scent which is really exotic to many and people would be willing to pay for the quality. A limited batch perhaps....
