Once upon a time, I received a free bottle of Tiger Lily fragrance oil. I used this fragrance in an early batch of cold process soap, adding orange and pink swirls. It smelled wonderful and looked lovely. I hadn’t thought a whole lot about that fragrance, but I am at that point in my business life where I want to get rid of unwanted or remnants of fragrances, and I knew I had a sniglet of that scent left. Then one day, these showed up at my door via FedEx.
Aren’t they gorgeous? And they got even prettier as the days progressed and more of the buds opened. My best friend sent these to me to celebrate the beginning of our school year and his final liberation from a hellish marriage. Looking at this arrangement three times a day reminded me of that Tiger Lily fragrance, and I just had to find it and make a batch of soap with it. It wasn’t a big batch, since I didn’t have much oil, but I managed to get six bars out of it.
That means that there are five of these glorious chunky bars available for your bathing pleasure (I’m keeping one for myself, thank you very much). Specially formulated to last and to produce a rich lather, these soaps are a true skin and nose treat as we hang on to summer just a tad bit longer. Their nubby tops were a happy accident and will feel fabulous next to your skin.
What’s your favorite flower that you’d love to sink into as you bathe?
