Heavenly Scent

I'm so in love with this essential oil blend of Ylang Ylang, Rose Geranium and Vanilla; I first made this just over 2 years ago.  The sultry, seductive blend compliments the natural colourants of cocoa powder and Australian Pink Clay.

For this batch, I used 2tsp of both cocoa powder and pink clay per 500g of soap batter. I wonder what the colour will be like after it has finished curing?  Originally I had planned to make even lines between the colours (sort of like neopolitan icecream) alas, for some reason, the uncoloured batter thickened up quicker than the other two and it resulted in more ploops instead of nice straight lines.  Next time I'll have a serious chat with the soap pixies and tell them to behave themselves :-)  Initially, it sort of plopped itself over the place and during the initial saponification process, it looked like a very sunburnt ......... well I'm not really sure what it looked like :-)

Not looking too pretty at this stage
