It Seemed Like A Good Idea...

Honeyed Ginger- a blend of Citrus Honey, May Chang and Ginger-they look like Gingery goodness, but don't let it fool you...:-)

I always want Ginger to have it's day in the sun even though it's a wonky eo to say the least. Ginger does not smell like one would think (a harsh reality for sure.) My  mind regularly plays tricks on me-I so want it to smell like the stuff of Gingerbread and Gingersnaps,but alas it never really does. I keep thinking there has to be a blend out there that will make the most of this very earthy "rooty" smelling base note-surely there is? I've been pondering on possibilities for something "summery" and came up with Honeyed Ginger- a blend of delicious citrus honey, lemony May Chang and a drop or two of Ginger.. It's the day after cutting the soap, and well I can only say that "it seemed like a good idea." The blend smells predominately like wonky smelling Ginger- instead of delicious citrus honey melded with the lemon drop goodness of May Chang and a hint of Ginger-Oh well, I tried. Hmmmmm, maybe I'll try one more time and literally add only a drop or two of Ginger....hmmmmm????
