On the Curing Rack: Winter Rose Soap
Let me tell you about the Winter Rose soap! It is scented with the most true-to-life rose fragrance, blended with just a hint of resinous Frankincense & Myrrh essential oils. Our rose bush just happens to be blooming right now, and as I cut some fresh blooms for the photo, I honestly could not tell the difference between the soap and the live flowers!
I used some beautiful pink and dark burgandy micas for the swirl colors. One of the pinks was actually a bright fuchsia until it was put in the soap, which is good because I like the toned down version better! The tiny little specks in the base color are actually bits of vanilla beans.
Four weeks of cure time would make this soap ready on Halloween. I’ll check it then and let you know!

Oh my… she is a beauty! I love the colours, I love the vanilla speckles .. I love everything. It just sounds so beautiful. I would expect nothing less. Stunning!
It’s perfect! The colors are absolutely wonderful and I love the vanilla bean addition!
This is absolutely gorgeous! If I made that I would be putting one on mantelpiece and spend all day gazing at it. Totally amazing.
What a LOVELY soap -just perfect!:)
Oh My Soapiness ! I can smell it all the way to Central Illinois. I too believe it needs place in its own museum. Can you…would you…tell us a little bit about your swirl method ?
Very beautiful soap Amy and I wish I could smell it, because it sounds lovely.
Love it! So beautiful and I can smell it now.
Your fragrance blend sounds very interesting and I love the toned down red and pink, as pretty as your roses from the garden!
Thanks to all for the lovely compliments! I think I may do my next post on how I made the soap. It was the first time I swirled both in the mold and in the pot, and I think it turned out pretty neat! Especially for a fast-moving fragrance!
Ohhhh, this looks and sounds gorgeous Amy! should be a great seller for Christmas:)
