FUgly Edition #4 - Ummm Soap

There really isn't anything wrong with this soap.  In fact it's made with Shea Butter and has a super creamy lather which leaves your skin moisturized.  The aroma is fantastic!  The only problem is that I can't remember the scent I used.

I'm usually super organized and you have to be  when dealing with almost 700 scents.  I was working on this soap over the holiday and when it became busy I abandoned the new creations and started filling orders.  Now that it has settled down I came back to my soap to cut and test.  I thought I wrote the fragrance down or left the bottle next to it but after cleaning up I must have put it away.

I do know my intention were to make a great smelling men's soap and this has notes of sweet brown sugar and a slight woodsy undertone.  My "official testers" love it!  I love it for myself as well.  I considered going through all the men fragrances I carry to find the right one but sometimes fragrances smell differently when mixed in the product.

Right now I'll just call this Shea Butter soap and offer it at a discount in my Etsy and ArtFire shops.  If I ever figure out the fragrance you will see it on my website.  Take advantage of my mishap and try this soap out because you are sure to love it as well!

FUgly edition #1 - Mint-Chocolate Soap Tarts

Every now and then I have some creations that didn’t exactly pan out the way I hoped. This may be business suicide displaying my failures but this blog is about me making scents - sometimes :-)


The products are not that they are dangerous or don’t work but just UGLY.  Sometimes there is a disconnect from the brain to the hands that don’t look as I imagined. Usually my family are the guinea pigs to use thing I won’t sell or surplus that hasn’t sold. If you want them you can have them at cost & shipping if I haven’t already used it.

Okay something about these look just nasty to me but I swear it smells amazing. The mint color with the chocolate curls isn’t exactly what I pictured no matter how I tried to maneuver it. They look like brown worms or fingernails! The soap is functional and did cleaned rather well.  I didn’t think I would like to smell  like chocolate but I used a small amount of dark chocolate scent so I smelled minty clean with just a touch of cocoa!  Do you have any FUgly disasters?
