Nothing has the ability to bring us back to a time or place quite like a fragrance can. The memory may be tied to the smell of your grandma’s garden, or baked bread from your favorite cafe. Fragrances can trigger a wide variety of vivid memories.
Not only can fragrances bring back memories, they can also take you to new places. This easy solid perfume project uses Neroli & Shea Blossom Fragrance Oil to transport you to the city of Rome. Part of our Roman Holiday series, this fragrance features notes of bergamot, lime, jasmine and cedar.
What you Need:
1 oz. Solid Perfume Base

What scent or smell brings back a strong, vivid memory for you? Personally, the smell of hospitals brings me back to making the rounds every weekend with my Dad when I was young. Because of this, the smell of hospitals is connected to a lot of happy memories!
Hi, Ann-Marie,
I received this as a sample and love the scent. Thanks so much! 🙂 Could you please tell me what you would suggest for retail for these perfume tins? Thanks!
Hi Debbie!
What you want to sell them for depends on the materials, labor, etc., so it’s up to you!
You may like to check out teachsoap.com. It has a forum where other soap makers talk about selling their products. 🙂

Hi, Ann-Marie
I tried to click on the link to order everything for this project and get an error exception. Help!
And a suggestion, could these be set to enable us to print materials like this? It is easier than cut-n-paste them.
Thanks
Hi Jiki!
I checked on the button and it worked for me! Are you signed in at brambleberry.com? That may help!
Also, thank you for the suggestion! I’ll pass that along. 🙂
