Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi Sandy, I am not sure of an FO, but you can make a beautiful rose soap using rose wax, rose concrete and rose absolute. You could probably not use the absolute since it's a bit spendy too. I have done this using HP soap method and you don't have to use much to get that rose scent in the soap.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hey Sandy, I am going to back Margaret up 110% on this one, and was going to suggest the same thing. You will never, ever, ever find a rose FO that smells anything like a real rose otto. Not sure why, but they all seem to cling desperately to the same fake rose smell. Now, a true rose otto or even rose absolute FO would be a gold mine for one of the suppliers, but no one has created one to my knowledge. The rose wax alone will provide excellent aroma, and will do so even in cp soap. I have used this as rose for several years and it always works like a charm. About 1 oz. of wax per 2 lbs. of soap will give you a nice fragrance, or you can do 1.5 oz. per 2 lbs for amazing rose aroma. A few drops of absolute will work to cement and round that out. For rose wax, the best I've ever had comes from Rob Pappas. It is the most fragrant. If you would like a little bit, email me off list and I will send you a dash to sniff.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I've tried numerous rose fo's and found two that are awesome!!! They both are from www.rusticescentuals.com Rustic Rose and Wild Denali Rose. I've not soaped the fo's only used them in making candles. They are the truest fo's rose scent that I have found, it only took 3yrs and lots of $$$. TaMara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sandy, haven't seen the original post, and although I too agree that the rose wax and absolute would be good...if you are looking for the BEST rose FO, check out www.wildwaystudio.com. Paige's Yellow Rose is the closest I have found to the " real " rose aroma. Doesn't have that snythetic smell that others I have sniffed have. If you would like, I'll send you a cotton ball sniffy. Just email me privately at anita- with your snail mail addy. Anita in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
